Pick the odd man out. They aren't sufficiently non-White or non-European.
Real reasons the Left has problems with white people:
1. They don't.
2. The Left wants equality, and whites in the West have long held the majority in numbers and power. As a result, any attempts to lift up minorities is seen by white Conservatives as an attack on them.
It's those radical left party SJW

To be fair, when you start running out of seats and you gotta make a choice, the conservatives are at a clear disadvantage and will likely disproportionately get the boot.
Cause no one gets along with these people - not women, not black people, not brown people, not scientists, not professors, not young people, not gays, and definitely not atheists.
Just ask people who have to sit down with them over the holidays. Getting triggered by Nike or Keurig or Starbucks cups or transgender bathrooms or (God forbid) someone not saying Merry Christmas to them. Going off on bizarre rants about how global warming isn't happening/is overblown/is good, how lazy "illegals" are taking all "our" jobs, and how diversity really means white genocide.
If anyone's getting booted off the island, it's them. And they know that. That's why they have to parade diversity as a boogieman to try to get every rube they can to put the brakes on diversity. And I hate to break it, but that ship has sailed. There's no putting the gene back into that bottle.
Whether it's abortion or gays or non-whites, conservatives sure know how to pick their battles. And yet somehow, they stay alive even armed with the worst long-term strategies. Meanwhile, liberal politicians drown in their own sinks. ¯\_(ãƒ,,)_/¯

I gotta tell you guys, as a WHITE guy who once went to a demonrat meeting, I have NEVER felt more persecuted in my whole life. This must be how the Jews felt. Scratch that. Aside from Melania Trump, there has never been a more bullied person than the god-fearing American white male.
The nonbinary person organizing it was a black demiqueer-shequeen and szhe had a button that said "Kill whitey" on the front. Everyone else was the same way. There were Black Panthers (the political group, not fans of the film), commies, Islamic terrorists (aka muslims) who somehow were mutual friends with the commies, Tumblr feminists (who are super common IRL), PC principal, Vegans who want to murder meat-murderers to show that murder is wrong, etc. You know, the standard liberal gang.
Well, they made it clear that they hate Jesus and America, like crime, and hate all white people.
That's why, I - as a white person - can no longer stand idly by and watch these people attack my race (I dunno why I value race above everything else *shrugs*). Today, I walk away. #WalkAwayIsA100%RealNon-AstroturfMovementWhoseMembersAreRealPeople

The Borg just keep adapting their collectivist feminist parasitism. They didn't die out in 1991. Because communist psychopathy is a part of the human personality spectrum and social unavoidable social spectrum,. Back in cave man days though, if some guy said he wanted to redistribute your meat for you (Rousseau was totally wrong), you gave him the Otzi treatment (the guy was murdered). In fact, in a hunting troop of maybe two dozen (half women one way and half children orthogonally) the meat providers were a minority back then, but at least the parasites were close family members.
I must say ... the UN Agenda 21 plan for genocide is looking better all the time. Guys who don't pull their own weight in the hunting party, have unfortunate accidents when near mammoths. The women and children can just shut up, if they want part of my high protein diet.

No, equality doesn't work that way.
It means that every Somali will be able to afford a Samsung S9+ at $850.00.

Without some authority, there is no point in having laws or borders (aka legal jurisdictions) ... but then that is the Leftist gambit (until they can seize power). Anarchist were useful idiots for Lenin's time also. The anarchists always lose in the end, if not to the current authoritarians, to the successor authoritarians. Lenin couldn't stay allied to the Russian anarchists too long, after a woman anarchist tried to assassinate him. You have to be very careful around feminists ... including Ms Corday (assassinated Mr Marat).

An oddly accurate and self-damning statement. That couldn't possibly have been the intent, but I'll take it.
Also, I'd like to add that the 62.9 million who supported Trump were opposed by 65.8 million who supported Clinton.
So even in this conservative fantasy land where Trump is beloved by the masses, if you want to be honest (and I dunno why you'd start now), you'd have to acknowledge that even more of the masses dislike him.

QuoteTwentieth-century San Francisco, Herb Caen's beloved Baghdad by the Bay, has ceased to exist. It has been replaced by a city where the sidewalks around Market Street are, in places, caked in feces, urine, and vomit. The stink as you emerge from the BART batters you like frozen sleet, shocking and overwhelming. The hordes of homeless, sprawled in doorways and sleeping on the sidewalks, are a bitterly eclectic mixture of the mentally deranged; burnt out druggies; dead-eyed hippies; con artists; pickpockets; and hundreds of simply lost, forgotten souls.
Republicans - don't care if things get worse, because cheaper short term that way. Want to keep power, wealth and fame ... at other people's expense.
Democrats - do care if things get worse, because it is a recruiting tool. Want to gain power, wealth and fame ... at other people's expense.

Well first of all. I don't normally comment on things in the UK
Second of all, I'm not implying that you "stay out of our business" I'm saying, if you are going to give us a claim, supply some credible info to back it up, not some video of a guy just talking about it without even a simple citing of what he's talking about. It's fucking hearsay. I don't care about hearsay. No one rational gives a flying fuck about that dumb as shit hearsay.
I don't care if you or pr are going to comment on anything regarding the U.S.. Go for it. but for the love of everything sane, start at least citing your god damned hearsay. You are better than he is at it. But you guys have to stop whining about when we call you out on it.

When the mainstream media is your only source to the gospel truth and in 2016 the media predicted a 95% Hillary winning the presidency? How did that work out?
When the media and the tech giants are all preventing any ideas to appear contrary to the ALLOWED democrat ideology?
Censoring any opposing content? Just a hint of totalitarianism?
When the indoctrination centers (colleges, universities) are churning out Marxist activist, dumbed down SJW's and Antifa, BLM, Feminist members?
Is that the America you want to live in?
See how Europe is going down the pan. The Dems are planning the same for America.
Open borders, mass migration, Socialism, totalitarianism. A globalist utopia.
The media and the tech giants are already practicing in advance.

[Why does the left hate white people] is a fallacy of begging the question, wherein a claim is passed off as a question. It attempts to direct the attention of he addressee away from the merit of the claim: "Please answer the question [Why?]. Don't question the claim [Left hates white people]" It's a cheap attempt to semantically trick the addressee into accepting an unsupported claim. The question is actually irrelevant.
In this case, the claim is largely incorrect as it only describes a cherry picked and imagined number of individuals which it then incorrectly identifies as "the left." It also redirects the discussion away from the question, "Why does the right hate white people? (note the left is largely white). In addition, it introduces the specter of racism, which irrelevant as it is, is actually more of a goal of the right than it is the left (in the US anyway, but maybe less so in Europe). I could go on, I suppose, but it's a really dumb question with a lot of things wrong with it.
Not to say the invasion of Europe by a foreign culture with different goals for Europe's future is not something to brush aside. It may indeed result in deep and lasting consequences for white non-Muslim majority that has worked to preserve a cherished way of life. I hear you. I actually do. I understand that fear expressed in the video. But saying the left hates white people confuses the issue. And it's absurd.
In the third post of this thread, Blackleaf succinctly addresses the hidden claim of the OP. I'm adding additional comments since his analysis appears to have been ignored out of hand, probably because the question was not the real objective of the OP in the first place.
There is no material to support anything he posts. There is no historical perspective to begin with. It's political propaganda and a very bad example at that.
It's very similar to the way of 'interpretation', religious people do with written sources of any kind. You people know that very well.
Even with a material at hand, there is another problem. And a big one. The concepts, names of ideologies...etc people juggle around these issues have very different connotations in Europe and in the United States.
If you are throwing the name of one philosopher and an accumulation of countless different, conflicting critical ideas built around it, which by the way is the accumulation of the knowledge that made Western Civilisation, THE Western Civilisation, as some 'prophet and his religion' you don't have an approach or criticism, you are just babbling.
It's like saying Albert Einstein is a 'genocidal maniac' because he is the 'reason' and the 'cause' for the nuclear attack on Japan. Well, not a very good analogy, but then a suitable one for the sort of minds in question.

If you are throwing the name of one philosopher and an accumulation of countless different, conflicting critical ideas built around it, which by the way is the accumulation of the knowledge that made Western Civilisation, THE Western Civilisation, as some 'prophet and his religion' you don't have an approach or criticism, you are just babbling.
It's like saying Albert Einstein is a 'genocidal maniac' because he is the 'reason' and the 'cause' for the nuclear attack on Japan. Well, not a very good analogy, but then a suitable one for the sort of minds in question.
Sorry. Your backup is your Continental Philosophy and ideology. Give us facts about Erdogan etc.

Losing your cool?
If you stepped out of your bubble and stopped dismissing everything as garbage that does not agree with your confirmation bias?
When the mainstream media is your only source to the gospel truth and in 2016 the media predicted a 95% Hillary winning the presidency? How did that work out?
When the media and the tech giants are all preventing any ideas to appear contrary to the ALLOWED democrat ideology?
Censoring any opposing content? Just a hint of totaliarism?
When the indoctrination centers (colleges, universities) are churning out Marxist activist, dumbed down SJW's and Antifa, BLM, Feminist members?
Is that the America you want to live in?
See how Europe is going down the pan. The Dems are planning the same for America.
Open borders, mass migration, Socialism, totalitarianism. A globalist utopia.
The media and the tech giants are already practicing in advance.
BTW, evidence and reason will not sway your worldview. Wasted effort.
If you really wanted that, you would search and find it on your own.

Correct ... Cavebear is very clear ... legacy media, MSM, the fully penetrated by CIA folks ... they are the sole "real reportage". Read your Pravda every day, Citizen. Completely put the Las Vegas massacre down the memory hole, or it is another session with Big Brother for you. Better that than a session with SA savages. And still nobody admitting what happened to that Dutch airline over the Ukraine.
But honestly, it is very hard for any of us old folk to deal with the cognitive dissonance of these times. So have some sympathy, and take another swig of Geratol. There are probably people who believe that Donald Trump was in the Ancyra SA consulate, dismembering Mr Kashoggi. And if the Washington Post (who employed him) says so, then you know it is true.

Fake news is determined by the truth of it's claim. Fake news consists of lies, false reports, and unsupported claims presented as fact. This should not be confused with propaganda, which can be created by shifting focus, and ignoring events which don't suit a political agenda. Why the left hates white people is a bit of both. It uses flawed logic and fallacy to imply that something about the left, which is far more characteristic of the right.

Yeah I know it is annoying. Yeah I have written this before. Yes, It's the so called broken record of the evil cultural marxists, socialists, and feminists and blah blah. But there is not. Sorry.
Let me put it this way. If you or pr were able to actually produce some sort of criticism of cultural marxism that would be included in the populist accumulation of cultural marxism.
For example, Foucault is one of the best critics of cultural marxism and probably the best asset of critcal theory. In fact, Foucault actually goes further than cultural marxists in contributing to the accumulation you pretend to dismiss. Can you follow this?
QuoteGive us facts about Erdogan etc.
What does 'giving facts about ErdoÄŸan' mean? How can I provide you with 'facts' about a politician? Do you know what does fact mean? Do you mean you want an insight what is going on in the country, is that it?

The simple fact is for all your slagging off of PR, you haven't been through the kind of political saturation and degradation he did given where he lived and escaped from. Maybe if you did, it might make you sing a different tune and consider how lucky you've had it in a stable country.
Thats got nothing to do with right or left leaning, thats living though something and it changing your outlook.
Growing up in a terrible political situation (if he's telling the truth about that) doesn't give anyone a free pass to spout unsubstantiated nonsense at best and substantiated falsehood intentionally at worst.

its funny because PR starts off noting the video is addressing victimhood culture, and the video has the professor, Jonathan Haidt, whos a moral psychologist and Professor of Ethical Leadership, discussing how victimhood culture forms in universities.
Seems like your looking for any excuse to dismiss something PR posts without even considering the context of why he posted it, the relevance of it.
I could understand this if it were paul jospeh watson or alex jones he was posting, they live in their own world and do have their own agenda. But the guy was a university professor in the video.
That is why the NPC meme is so successful.

Why do you insist that I am defending victimhood culture?
I've spoken out against it many times, myself and in fact even in response to one of pr's recent posts said that "if this is true, it's ridiculous that they are acting like this"
My problem with his posts is that they aren't cited. It's hearsay. It's not based on anything factual and all he does is back it up with more hearsay from the same position.
Post some Sargon of Akkad. I might not agree with him, but I respect that he at least cites himself in his own video. He offers a coherent analysis...
Cite. your. shit. This is elementary stuff. You learn it in grammar school. Always cite your work. Or do they not teach that in the UK?
I should also add that in response to victimhood culture and also the citing your shit thing,
I personally know someone that I suspect making up that people were coming out as heterosexual for "coming out day".
Her facebook post read as this "it's 2018 and people are still coming out as heterosexual." I highly suspect she made that shit up. I have a few reasons I came up to as for her "why"s but regardless, I am pretty sure she made that shit up.
I also recently saw an article that is complaining that Fortnite is "culturally appropriating black culture by stealing their dances" and this one I know people stupidly think because a black acquaintance of mine is the one that was agreeing with it.
Victimhood culture is ridiculous, but holy shit cite your shit.
CITE. YOUR. SHIT.

I have two sides, I am not a Mobius strip (sorry, keeping my clothes on, not stripping for anyone). But to "counter" the narrative here, I have to bend from "Center" to "Right" ... but in traditional rather than conservative or reactionary form. Because I am not Right or Left ... aka that is what Center means. I could choose to be a Left echo-chamber (I can channel my inner Marxist), but how boring would that be? Cavebear, who is on vacation, in particular wants an echo chamber, that agrees very closely to his POV (which in real life isn't far for mine, because our life circumstances have similarities). Pr126 and Munch know they aren't going to get much "love" here, so their reasons for being here must be something else. I know I won't get much love either, from anyone, because I am a theist. And this forum as actually helped me refine my "traditionalist" theism.
It has been awhile since we talked here. I can actually engage ideology and philosophy like an adult, same as you. But that isn't the style of dialog here ... from pr126 or his detractors. It is mostly mark-line-in-sand politics. In the end, I have to spread my sympathies in both directions. Pr126 and Munch appreciate that. I can see their POV. I can also see the very idealistic "continental" EU POV. But Britain is different, though traditionally Scotland and Ireland are closely tied to France and Germany. In my case I have a much more positive view of immigrants and refugees. That is easier to do in the US.
"Can you follow this?" Hell yes. But as intelligentsia debate points .... not as politics.
"Foucault" Hell yes. But as intelligentsia debate points .... not as politics.
"Global village" ... Duh. Everything happens somewhere, and now that means it happens everywhere. Every election, every murder, every everything. There is a big downside to the "global village" ... namely way too many village idiots.
See with politics (particularly US) ... I have to get out my carving knife and start flaying my enemies list. Debate isn't threatening to my survival or my daughter. I dig free speech, which is Anglo-American ... not Franco-German. But if you get beyond speech, then that means war. Politics is war by other means. There is no such thing as pacifism, other than as irony.
i like you a lot. You don't annoy me at all. Don't conflate me with other people, please. Pr126 and Munch are atheists, I am not. Munch is gay, I am not. But my empathy extends to people different from myself, provided they not put a knife to my throat and make dire threats. Otherwise I would treat you like any other Nazi or Stalinist.

Apply this to all the crap coming out of MSM? Clean up your own CNN house first. See skepticism is good, but two edged. How can you determine the "truth". "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." ?? Sorry, not available to atheists or members of some religious traditions. For me, as read this Jewishly ... not as a Christian, this is totally correct. And not because someone wrote this down 2000 years ago. This fits the inner meaning of what I mean by "I am a demigod, and so are you". Without the path of going from potentiality to actuality, from transcendent to immanent, from spirit to body ... then there is no existence, and non-existence is a nothing-burger.

My analysis? Yes, it has ideas. If it is all about contemporary politics, then this book seems to be revanchism by neo-liberalism (aka Clintonism). And this Guardian review seems to be clutching-at-pearls by the orthodox Marxists. Communism is inevitable.

Amazon has lots of user reviews, and I always look at these. Sometimes I only read the most positive and the most negative, sometimes just the 2s and 3s. When the book covers a controversial topic, I always wonder if the reviewer is responding to the merits of the book or the politics of the author, especially when the review is scathing and vague. For example if the review says the book is full of Marxist ideas, you can bet it's a conditioned response, not one that actually considered the material analytically. I ignore such reviews and stop reading, sometimes in mid sentence, since I can tell the reviewer is giving more insight into his own flawed mental processing than the actual content of the book.
Ok ... competing reviews. One American, the other British. No incest there.

Well, of course it is very simplified to reach the target audience, most of the adults wouldn't be able to stand it. I watched it because I look into any kind of animation and this is Pixar. I wasn't expecting anything like it. I cried. Like sobbing cried. It made me think of every person on the planet, all of us, as a child and as an adult. I can simply say, it is the best thing done on evolution of human emotion. And it is a child movie. Hint.

Agree, agree, agree. These are three clichés that need to be examined and thoughtfully critiqued. They are around because they have become indoctrinated (in some people more than others), and are hard to unlearn. Although, I would hesitate to say they are wrong, but I do fully accept that they are clearly NOT right. For example:
"Always let your emotions be your guide." Somewhere deep down inside, this cliché was probably well intended by an indoctrinated mentor. In addition, there is even a smidgeon of truth in the philosophy. But here's the rub; That truth is only just a smidgeon, AND it has situational context. In other words, it doesn't always apply. One might even argue that it seldom applies. It should be reworded: "Be aware of your emotions, but don't let them control your social interactions, unless you want to are totally willing to accept the consequences (And blaming other's for your consequences is being intellectually irresponsible)."
Acting on your emotions can be satisfying, and can give you a tremendous sense of power, but it can be wildly destructive to yourself and others. Also, that sense of power is not even real power.
As in the case of most of these "clichés of wisdom," there is often a happy medium to be found, and with that I'm going to invent a new "cliché of wisdom": "If you think you're operating at your happy medium, then you are surely wrong."
Much of the nonsense we believe is simply not true, but these three are a good place to start an evaluation.

I'm sure you guys know the Pixar movie Inside Out. This^ is what that movie is designed to teach children in principle, but first adults must watch it in my opinion.
Well, of course it is very simplified to reach the target audience, most of the adults wouldn't be able to stand it. I watched it because I look into any kind of animation and this is Pixar. I wasn't expecting anything like it. I cried. Like sobbing cried. It made me think of every person on the planet, all of us, as a child and as an adult. I can simply say, it is the best thing done on evolution of human emotion. And it is a child movie. Hint.
I would put that Pixar on every adults must see list. Actually, I think there may be more in it for adults than there is for kids. For all the fooling around in the film, I think it hits the nail on the head, although Freud and Jung might disagree, but that's only because their old stuffy codgers.

Argentine socialist founder of post-Marxism (aka cultural Maxism) and his associate, a socialist Belgian operating out of GB. It is possible that the Frankfurt school is getting too much credit. Of course cultural Marxists will deny this just as they deny that Islam has a tendency toward jihad.

The reason why the left is partnering with Muslims because the migrant Muslims are used as schock troups to destabilize society.
It is a symbiotic arrangement (for now) because Muslim are using the left to spread Islam and get a foothold in western countries.
Either way, it won’t end well for the rest of us.

Ah. So somebody told you about that secret meeting between all the Leftists and the Muslims where we planned to take down the Right (who totally don't have similar ideals to Muslims at all). You've caught us all red handed.

The Kaiser hired Lenin to destroy the Russian Empire. No conspiracy at all there.

And don't us Lefties HATE religion, particularly ones that come across as domineering? Islam seems like something us dirty commies would be resolutely against. But hey, if it destabilizes society, I guess that's something we can get behind. I mean, that's basically our raison d'etre.
Step #1 - destabilize society
Step #2 - ?
Step #3 - liberal paradise
Leftist governments in western Europe are importing millions of Muslim men, but no criticism allowed either of the uncontrolled immigration or of Islam.
Dissenters will be punished. Islamophobes get a visit from the police.

Real reasons the Left has problems with white people:
1. They don't.
2. The Left wants equality, and whites in the West have long held the majority in numbers and power. As a result, any attempts to lift up minorities is seen by white Conservatives as an attack on them.
I'm Left and I'm White. Let's put that in two catergories...
"I'm Left" - The progress of the world has always been "left". The "left" has general human progress in mind. If the "right" was in charge, we would still be living in caves. And engaging in tribal warfare over local fruits and rabbits.
"I'm White". This is almost a joke. Skin color is merely a general response to available sunlight. The further north you are, the more you need sunlight and the less melonin you have, the more exposure. People who had slightly less melonin in the northern climes were slightly healthier and produced more children.
It is not a mystery, and skin color is not meaningful in homo sapiens beyond cultural prejudices.

Sans-culotte. And racially blind. But that is old style. New style, Wakanda all over your honkey ass? Tribal warfare continues ... support your tribe or go without. The original liberals who want better distribution of goods? Huns and Mongols.

You choose the wrong species.
Which would you prefer? Dolphins with no hands? Octupi with small rains? Raccoons easily baffled by combination locks? Elephants with overgrown teeth? Chimps who knuckle-walk?

Raccoons are definitely superior. Much cuter than humans.

Cute doesn't get you to the top of the food chain. Well, OK, maybe domesticated cats. But there is a reason why humans are not (excuse me, I need to go feed the cats)...
