Nobody is saying that right wingers or incels are innately worse than anyone else, that path is a choice, even despite the "in" prefix. In this forum you are certainly allowed to criticise people for the choices they make.
and? trains were used by Nazis to move Jews to concentration camps, so? that doesn't make trains, or people who want to use trains to move people, evil.
aside from the fact that it is basically uncontroversial in literature that political leaning has a strong genetical basic, and that incels are so because they can't find sex (in- is from "involuntary" afaik) , if I were to say that Ghana has worse outcomes than south Korea because Ghana residents made and make far worse choices every day of their lives (for whatever, unknown reasons) and that means Ghana residents are worse human beings that south Korea residents, I don't think this would be allowed on this forum, and would be called supremacism or other words used to define political ideas as inherently evil and worthy of censorship.
so no I don't think I am allowed to criticize GROUPS for their collective choices, not most groups.
do you think I am wrong? can the Ghana vs Korea comparison be used as an argument on this forum as to why to, say, refuse to donate to Ghana, or refuse to take in Ghana immigrants or any other corollary of the argument?
I am not even sure considering a group of human beings as objectively superior, better, preferable to another is allowed (again, with few exceptions, I don't think it would be a bannable offense to claim criminals are worse than other groups in society).
maybe I am just reading previous mod comments wrong, maybe the kind of stuff I am listing as examples (please, for mods, all of the above is just to give examples not actual arguments) is perfectly acceptable here.
what do you think?
