As a kid you do wonder but later when I learned about Manichaeism I understood where the concept may come from, it's about darkness(Evil) and light(good). Manichaeism has been a very influential religion and you can see it everywhere.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Yeah, I read it as her trying to highlight just how fecking petty and spiteful people like him are.
In context, it requires a bad faith reading to construe it as racist. Which I guess comes naturally to someone who's liable to proclaim "All Lives Matter" in response to "Black Lives Matter."
"liable to proclaim "All Lives Matter" in response to ´Black Lives Matter.´" i dont understand why is that so bad, i mean, it´s stupidly obvious but is true
Not entirely sure what you mean there, do you don't understand what's wrong with saying" all lives matter" in response to "black lives matter" ?
yes. I think is stupid, because that´s not the point of the one saying "BLM", but from that to call the other saying ALM a racist, is a long shot
It generally comes from where the "all lives matter" response actually same from (or at least where it gained a lot of popularity), coupled with a slight misunderstanding of what the term "black lives matter" is about. The "all lives matter" stuff started being thrown about by far/alt-right groups who were suggesting that the "black lives matter" saying was suggesting that white lives don't, it's why you sometimes see "white lives matter too" stuff being banded about.
The "black lives matter" message was that black lives matter too, exactly the same as all other lives. The problem is they're not always treated as if they do so that's why it's worded the way it is.
thank you
There's a common analogy that I think is pretty helpful.
Say you and a group order pizza together and split the bill. The pizza gets sent around, but before it reaches you all the slices are taken. You're understandably annoyed, and hungry. The next time it happens again, and now you speak up. This is unfair, you're paying like everyone else and you should get to eat pizza. The response you get is that you all should get pizza.
This response is both unhelpful and stupid, and even more it's quite malicious. Of course everyone should get pizza, that's the point. You're a group, and you're all paying. But they all are getting their pizza while you're not. It's also a response that is anti you more than the general principle they pretend it to be, because they're only saying that everyone should get pizza because you're saying that you should get a slice, and they're not actually doing anything to solve your hunger.
very well put, thank you NotThatSoph

Not sure is this goes in this thread or the George Floyd thread. Put in in here because apparently activists wanted to demonstrate outside to store to get the manager fired because he called the police on 2 black men who shoplifted.

Well isn’t she a delight
That’s definitely not cancel culture. Maybe there should be another thread titled “People Being A Pain in The Arse to People Who Are Just Doing Their Job For Facebook Likes and Shares”
Was just based on this quote
" Activists said they were planing to protest outside the store on Wednesday afternoon and called for a boycott until the “racist manager is replaced or fired”
I thought people grouping together to get people fired who in the eyes of the extreme woke comitted a heinious sin of wrong think or wrong act was part of cancel culture.

Didn’t see that bit. Was assuming this was all the work of one idiot. Have you seen any evidence of this planned protest?
No only read the article and seen the video, however considering the current climate, I wouldn't be surprised if someone were actually planning on doing it.

Professional critic of cancel culture Sam Harris agrees with professional critic of cancel culture Andrew Sullivan that Nikole Hannah-Jones should be cancelled.
I haven't actually read it, but I'm pretty sure it's postmodern critical race theory neo-marxism.
What's the deal with the 1619 project anyway?
Honestly feel like I know less now than before.
Do universities routiney monitor social media activity of their professors?

...should rescind and apologize not "be cancelled."
How does that work? If one episode of Boondocks is bad, surely all of them are? Uncle Ruckus is racist in every scene!

Got me thinking of this...Joe's laugh after about 4 minutes
"Transgender women can't be diversity officer cos she's a white man now"
Can you sum up in your own words what these two hyperventilating clowns are trying to tell us? Or rather, what you intended to say with that video?
Nah it just a parody video on the subject of Joe Rogan's staff trying to get him cancelled. I understand some of the level of outrage levelled at him though regarding a particular episode where he basically laughed with a sexist pig.
90% of the video is just generic stereotypes about "wokes" and plugging a cacao product.
I'd like to ask the same I asked someone else on a similar occasion: You often claim your adversaries are too irrational for a reasonable discussion - how does that match with posting a video of two rambling idiots with zero argumentative content?
I honestly just found parts of it funny and parts of it not. That's it.
I also don't claim to have adversaries nor claim they are too irrational to have a reasonable discussion. Shamans(not Shamana) clearly doesn't like me though which he's entitled to. I am not often that fond of myself either.
