Should we allow one, both, or none?

None.

Racism, as we all (should) know is skin shallow. That is enough. Not being of the “right” color establishes that an individual has no rights, no freedoms, and in extremes cases, not even humanity.

Classism is just a reviewed version of the cast system. Where you are born on the social pyramid dictates your fate. Born poor, die poor.

None are tolerable. All human beings are born equal.

I will absolutely judge people based on their class. You don’t come to obtain and maintain massive wealth without being an absolute shit person

What you are doing, by taking that position, is just subscribing to the current social model. That’s not even a criticism; it’s joining the band wagon.

Let’s say you have a big success tomorrow and you manage to amass a great fortune. Are you going to give it away? Are you going to do something with your newly found wealth to truly change something for better?

The top three wealth holders in the planet are there because people allowed it. Facebook was just so groudbreaking, so innovative, so useful to connect to people. Amazon is just so convenient, so easy to use. And electric cars never existed before.

They were enabled and still are by the same people that cry today against them. If the notion of true equality really existed, the moment those individuals started becoming too big, people would remove trust and start demanding them to do good, tangible good, for others.

Yes??? Of course I would?

Ohhhh, you’re a capitalist

That’s literally what myself and many others are doing? Except in my opinion they are evil until they intentionally drop their net worth to the single digit millions and transfer their companies to the workers who actually made them what they are today

Lmao, I’m an anarchist, not a liberal on a band wagon

Are people not racist based on accent as well though?

For example Irish people?

I’m not directly conected with english speaking countries so that example always evades me but you’re right.

The scottish also had it bad with the english as well. And some time back I read a news report on how a man had been insulted in a train for not speaking english, in London. He was speaking welsh…

Racism picks on any small thing to rise divergence, usually something the target of it can’t change. But anything works.

I wasn’t saying you were wrong, I was just wondering if I was. True about the Scot’s, and the Welsh too….and the Cornish. Basically any form of Celt.
