Also, his style of arguing is very reminiscent of other people that When Fangirls Attack have linked to, whose style it is to talk down to people and to just keep talking, as though th deluge of words and logic is enough to drown counter-arguments in it.

He must also be acting from, at least, male privilege, although it surprised me to learn that he was black. I, a white male, could point out several examples over history where change was made because people who were oppressed and/or kicked around got very angry and stood up for themselves.

For example:

American Revolution? Got mad, stood up, kicked off British Rule.

Civil War? People got mad, kicked off slavery, united the whole country.

World War 2? People stoof up, and took down Hitler and his insane fascism.

Rosa Parks? She would not sit in the back of the bus, and it turned out to be one of the kicking off points for the Civil Rights Movement.

Apartheid in South Africa? The majourity of the population, all black people, got a hellavu pissed off and stood up, backed by the rest of the world, except for countries such as Britain, and got rid of it.

So yeah, sitting down, not doing anything? Does nothing.

I would write more, but I have an electrical program to go to, where one of the students is a woman, who probably would not be there if women before her hadn’t gotten pissed off and stood up, told people off, and made the government recognized them as people in the eyes of the law.
