Fuck politeness in their case. The word doesn’t bother me much at all. What kind of bugs me is fucking morons like you who seem to find it delightful. ---

Both of you can go ahead being nice and polite to the shit flingers on the Right. It won’t do a thing for you. Likewise, go ahead and get all upset at what they call you, and yammer about “the death of civility”. Or let THEM yammer about it to control you. But I won’t. Go ahead and give yourselves a heart attack over it, for all I care. But I… 1. Won’t get all butt hurt over being called a wypipo. 2. Won’t continue to be polite or respectful to people who don’t deserve it. It’s phony bullshit. Wypipo is the big bad butt hurt now? Oh good Gawd. Get over it. ---

Almost forgot, YES it’s true. I **DO** find “wypipo” to be amusing. ---

Yeah, I could tell. That’s why I said “fucking morons like you”. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > Yeah, I could tell. That’s why I said “fucking morons like you”. Look. We have a president who was not elected legitimately - he had massive Russian help and is a Russian asset. We have both houses of Congress and the White House being run by his corrupt enablers. We have real honest to goodness Nazis running for office. We have people arguing that we should get rid of the 14th Amendment - effectively saying that there should be no equal protection under the law or due process. We have babies being forcibly taken from their families and put in cages for their parents daring to try for a better life - including those requesting asylum - which is legal. And those same babies and toddlers “expected” to represent themselves in court. We have this illegitimate president doing his very best to destroy NATO, and all trade agreements. To the betterment of Putin. And while making sure his own and Ivanka’s deals are exempt from tariffs. We have people being put in place in the courts to overturn Roe vs Wade. We have a new “potential appointee” to the Supremes (Kavanaugh) who seems to believe that Trump is above the law. "We should not burden a sitting President with civil suits, criminal investigations, or criminal prosecutions,” (from a 2009 law review) NATO bashing, trade wars, having children locked up in cages, threatening other countries for trying to promote breast-feeding. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. And yet, you choose to get angry over “ **wypipo** ”??? **I have more important things to be angry about.** ---

This is a thread about the word “wypipo”. I have expressed my opinion on the use of “wypipo”. Why you think this should actually be a Trump thread is your own mental problem. ---

Heh, found this thread on Reddit today that seemed appropriate, about a mod who deliberately made satirical anti-white jokes and was inundated with outright racism (very long story, lots of links): [https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/8xqgkl/power\_mod\_makes\_a\_joke\_about\_the\_whites\_and/](https://old.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/8xqgkl/power_mod_makes_a_joke_about_the_whites_and/) ---

So “wypipo” might be contained in what the bit refers to as the “punching up” tactic … a tactic that I would say is more likely to drive many away from your position than to it. One link included there is I think better yet: [“Explaining White Privilege To A Broke White Person”](https://www.huffingtonpost.com/gina-crosleycorcoran/explaining-white-privilege-to-a-broke-white-person_b_5269255.html). I think it is easier for those of us who are privileged and thus secure in _many_ ways (especially by class as well as race) to be at most annoyed to (as some are here) outright amused by being called “wypipo” but it may rankle more those who are not so privileged across all dimensions and who may be feeling very insecure abut their futures. > [@](#): > > … I, maybe more than most people, can completely understand why broke white folks get pissed when the word “privilege” is thrown around. As a child I was constantly discriminated against because of my poverty, and those wounds still run very deep. But luckily my college education introduced me to a more nuanced concept of privilege: the term “intersectionality.” The concept of intersectionality recognizes that people can be privileged in some ways and definitely not privileged in others. There are many different types of privilege, not just skin-color privilege, that impact the way people can move through the world or are discriminated against. These are all things you are born into, not things you earned, that afford you opportunities that others may not have. … Even that writer though is speaking from a current position of security. Having come from poverty and economic insecurity she can have empathy for those who are not so privileged in other dimensions than race, but her current security is a luxury that does not _intersect_ with some of whom she talks about.
