Woke and right wing have a common opponent.

When Islam polices people.

Tell the right wing, the way to go to dis-Islamise the West is primarily to get people like the homeless freedom and dignity (in that order, otherwise someone will pretend to dignity with loss of freedom so someone can be even more policed).

14:57 I know another discourse that worked very similar.

In Copenhagen, I was among homeless. One night people had thrown stones into the night shelter where I had slept on the floor.

The ones doing that were very clearly Muslims, who thought:

  • our lives will continue to suck
  • but we will at least be above those lazy and alcoholic and drug addicted homeless.


23:16 Is standpoint epistemology supposed to secure the status of the good? Or of the true?

There may be some cases where it is legitimate, but first there must be epistemology simpliciter.

Standpoint epistemology is pretty much the ad hominem that C. S. Lewis called Bulverism. Unless I've misunderstood what she means by it.
