Here is a test for the oppressed. Take part in the Victimhood Olympics.
This is not a joke.
Your intersectionality score: (https://intersectionalityscore.com)
My score 30. Very low. An oppressor, of course, a straight white male. The lowest rank.
QuoteHaving a high intersectionality score doesn’t completely immunize you from being called an oppressor. You may be vulnerable to “weakest link†attacks--that is, being called an oppressor on any of the intersectionality factors by those disadvantaged in that factor. For example, a gay black man could still be accused of being a misogynist by women or a poor, immigrant woman could be called transphobic by a transperson.
We hope that this calculator will help fight ableism, ageism, anti-Semitism, biphobia, cissexism, classism, homophobia, Islamophobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, ethnocentrism, xenophobia and discrimination (even prejudice) of all forms regardless of your race, country of origin, sexual orientation, (e.g. bisexual, nonbinary, intersex, lesbian, queer, transgender, or asexual)
I'm thinking it's satire, as some of them think. Otherwise, my "score" is 18
34%, which sounds about right.
Also 99% sure this is in fact a joke.
I got a 96
"The easiest way to improve your score, however, is to champion the intersectionality of your more-marginalized friends. You may award yourself up to 5 points depending on the level of your activism."
Uh huh. *facepalm*
I got 27. Though this doesn't calculate shit.
Being a devout Muslim gives you more points than an atheist. Are you shitting me?
29
I'm not wasting my time with that shit. There's lots of other shit for me to waste my time on! LOL

Just like their crazy political ideals borrowed from John Lennon. Snipe hunting for Trotsky-its.
Gad Saad is renouncing this intersectionality lunacy, which incidentally was dreamed up by Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberl%C3%A9_Williams_Crenshaw)
QuoteCrenshaw is known for the introduction and development of intersectional theory, the study of how overlapping or intersecting social identities, particularly minority identities, relate to systems and structures of oppression, domination, or discrimination.[3] Her scholarship was also essential in the development of intersectional feminism as a subcategory of intersectional theory: it examines the overlapping systems of oppression and discrimination to which women are subject due to their ethnicity, sexuality and economic background.
Marxist drivel, methinks. How wonderful.

Gad ... don't be sad ;-)
No idea what this is, but I got a 17 apparently. It doesn't seem to calibrate for where you live though, I'm sure I could've dropped a few points lower if it realized that you don't lose points here for not being religious.
The more points you get the higher you are in the victimhood Olympics.
Low numbers mean you are a cisgender straight white male, which is an oppressor.
Queue the Intersectional Dalek: EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! Or something.
Zeitgeist.
It calibrated with where I live but there wasn't atheism choice. That's incredibly ignorant, if they added or removed those choices according to country. Also no choice on marriage or children. Basic industries.
It is very badly prepared. Can't be real.
OK I got a 22, wht's next? Handball, tennis, golf, duckpins? Can I have Buffulo Wings, mild sauce please?
I took it again, and got a 23. So it seems pretty definite. It seems pretty hard to get much any other score being a white atheist guy...
But what if the questions asked about how to solve social problems, what to do about climate change, and how government money should be spent? I'm mostly an atheist progressive Republican. I didn't see many questions about the last 2.. LOL!

Didn't mean to be a thread-killer, but my questions remain...
18.
This seems like a joke/proving a point, I see ads for the, "Intellectual Dark Web" with pictures of Sam Harris, Ben Shapiro, and Jordan Peterson along the side.

I'm only familiar with Sam Harris. But assigning him and others like him to "The Dark Web" is typically theistic thinking...

The Dark Web is a marketing phenomenon. Has to do with popular public speakers and their debates. The goal is to make a little green.

So ... life is inapplicable, and a joke? I think not. You mentioned the Dark Web. I gave a tour de force about the Dark Web. But it fell on blind eyes and deaf ears.

You like to reverse things. Like Trump. Here's yer sign...

Invert, not reverse. They aren't the same. I you say Hillary is an angel, I can bet well that she is a devil instead. Not because you are wrong, but because you are human. It is like watching the face of a liar while they lie.

I never thought Hillary Clinton was any "angel". But I can image the world with an experienced politician keeping international treaties and alliances, dealing with hostile nations firmly, understanding how government works, negotiating border control rationally, and paying attention to domestic finances and infrastructure.
Instead of Trump...
How can the comparison even be considered given what we know about Trump today?
I'm not even talking about differences in policies, just sheer unadulterated mean greedy utter INCOMPETENCE on Trump's part.
Sorry to involve politics here folks, it just flowed...
I don't think you are stupid. And you confirmed again that you are not ;-)
This is applicable, took me all of 30 seconds to find it ...
