American culture Quote by Mike Maxwell

““The basic move of liberalism is to replace the social centre (normal people) with the margin (foreigners, minorities, deviants) forever. The stack does that by shielding these marginal identities from any criticism ever, and it is an especially clear example of the monstrous principle of equity at work. If you assume that there are fundamentally no differences between people, any difference in outcomes must be evidence of secret, hidden oppression. The obese, HIV+ otherkin with 80 IQ isn’t ignored because she’s creepy and stupid, it’s because of “systemic bias”, and she needs to be platformed for you to hear her wonderful ideas. It all sounds insane when laid out in plain language, but the same principle is at work in something that many decent and well-adjusted people would defend: civil rights law.””
