An Easier Life

[email protected]

Thanks for the list! I'd be a dirty liar if I said none of the points applied to Canada, as I've experienced 3 of those personally. But not the entire list. Seems to me that the US is not a very good place to be non-Aryan. So why not move somewhere cooler?

Yes, it’s harder to be a woman.

Depends heavily on context. For example, for virtually anything involving the criminal justice system it's easier to be a woman. In some careers it's easier to be a woman (for example, anything to do with children). I could come up with more examples if you want.

Maybe the genie is not actually obligated to grant wishes, and could just turn you inside out if they wanted to.

We can't deny systematic racism. It's totally baked in.

Racism itself is promoted and maintained by the ruling class because white supremacy serves to undermine class consciousness. The same playbook is uses for other forms of marginalization, but race is the most strongly maintained in the United States due to chattel slavery and the ruling class' investment in it.

What this means is that while class is the major material dividing line that societal forces follow, racism is also a potent force. Just because it gets the oxygen it needs to survive from the continued class war does not mean that racism itself does not exist and make the lives of black people, brown people, etc harder. And white people do have it easier just because they're white. So if you say otherwise, those who know better will not listen to you.

So, instead of going the route that dismisses the impact of racism, instead acknowledge that class and race oppressions are intertwined and that the former drives the latter, so we need to end capitalism in order to undo marginalization. And to do so in solidarity means you also need to take an anti-racist line and stand in solidarity with marginalized people.

Can't afford it myself, and I don't know any country lacking insurance adjusters

I think you need to look at prison sentencing disparities if you don't think white people have it easier than black people.

non-Aryan

I'd say it's not a good place to be Aryan at all.

And maybe you shouldn't misuse the same words the Nazis intentionally misused in the future.

I need to watch the wishmaster series. Of all the stuff with the concept of evil genies that twist the meaning of wishes into anything BUT the intention of the wisher, it would be that. Or so I heard.

I'd say the term has since been appropriated, the same way that all facial tissues are mostly referred to as kleenex. If the proper Aryans wanted exclusive right to the name, they should have made more use of it

Yeah, stupid ethnic group just allowing a genocidal European nation on another continent co-opt their identity like that!

Just like those other people from India just allowing Europeans to call the people indigenous to the Americas by that name too.

Clearly if they were superior, like ~~white people~~ true Aryans, they would have protected the name by international trademark.

Finally, someone gets it. If trademarking intellectual property was wrong, Disney wouldn't have pioneered the field!

ah, good point.

Found the short, ugly,.non white, uneducated, LGBTQ, but Gaza kamala supporter still sour about the election guys!

As a white dude, I'd like to know when this shit gets easier?!?

be black first

Everybody is ridiculous. I'm not saying people aren't racist, but there's no way to act on that fact. Go ahead and try lol. Now if you had money, it wouldn't matter because you could afford a good lawyer to keep you out of trouble. Not everybody can be rich, but at least they can act on it. Good luck "acting on racism" because everybody already knows and nobody is going to change their mind if they're already racist.

Do whatever you want!

Sure, I meant overall and in a wide sense. There is plenty of instances where being a man is harder, there are places where being white could lead to discrimination against you, etc. etc.

But that is beyond my point.

It was super clear what the other commenter meant, and you're just looking for conflict and thought policing everywhere I met you. Don't.
