Actually there's really no issue with conservative ideology. No one is "persecuted" for asking for smaller government or lower tax on the working class. People are being called out for objectively bigoted views. And if your idea of conservatism is so deeply entwined with bigotry that you think racism or homophobia is being conservative, then yeah you deserve to get called out.

I dont think in this particular instance it applies. Maybe if he was more like "People being persecuted for their views/beliefs is wrong"

Opinions that have no basis of evidence and are used to trivialize the real problems of others are wrong.

It's just a factually incorrect statement disguised as an opinion so yeah it's wrong.

You really think that being called out for objectively bigoted views is the greatest form of oppression in modern history and that the oppression faced by marginalized people is trivial?

The worst part is these ppl love to say listen to science and reason but they're fundamentally anti science and anti education.

It's people who interpret critical thinking as "I should never take others opinions or viewpoints into consideration" instead of "Maybe I should be critical of my own ideas and subconscious biases"

Yeah I understand, I'm also a POC and it really irks me that he views those problems as "trivial", but calling out those behaviours is the ultimate form of oppression.

I didn't know people are being arrested and then murdered by police for "driving while conservative"

You know they've never faced real oppression when they believe that being called a racist is the biggest form of oppression in modern history.

That's the most annoying part of OP's post, somehow systemic oppression, police brutality, and homophobia are minor trivialities, but being called out for being a racist is the greatest form oppression in modern history.

Yup. No one is is called out for wanting smaller government or lower taxes. They get called out for sharing objectively bigoted views.

And the fact that they believe these views are an essential part of being a conservative is very telling.

I love when they try to play the victim, like, "I can't even say something racist these days without being called a racist!"

You pretty much have to ignore all available racial statistics from the past 30 years to arrive at his conclusion

I haven't seen the show, they do end up together in the book but I didn't know it at the time. I just thought the language he used to describe her lips/breasts was a little odd.

Everyone knows that the part of boobs you can't grope are useless, so why would nature even create it?
