I formulated a similar question just a few minutes ago in a discussion with a fellow fediverse dweller, and would love to gather your honest opinions. I’m not looking to troll or flame bait anyone.
Just looking for honest perspectives.
Please keep it civil and respectful.
Comparing and ranking peoples suffering is in a really bad taste. By establishing a hierarchy of victimization you’re sending a message to some that their problems don’t matter because someone else has a bigger problem. Also you’re reinforcing the division between groups and reinforcing negative stereotypes, without offering a stable long-term solution for a society without injustice.
The current narrative at least on social media like Lemmy, Reddit, TikTok, etc is of the “equal but separate” variety. Injustices exist and we must protest, we must fight for the underprivileged, but the lines of division between groups are sacred and must not be questioned.
The actual long-term goal should be the merging of groups in which the former out-group becomes part of the in-group. This idea is offensive to many which is why it’s so hard to achieve.
If you’re not trolling or baiting, what the fuck is with the inflammatory phrasing? You can’t just post bad faith bullshit and then follow it with “PS. this is in good faith”
How is it bad faith?
Edit: Seriously, could someone please explain how my phrasing is inflammatory?
Are you asking if policy changes should be made while taking into account the experiences/struggles of its citizens? If so, then yes. It definitely should be.
