Jesus Christ, any time I cite any sort of theory about anything people immediately jump down my throat with this "appeal to authority" bullshit.
I referenced the blog not because it has any sort of "authority" but because it explains the concept quite well.
I'm sorry that, apparently unlike you, I'm capable of respecting insight regardless of whether it's written in the most proper, ideologically correct phrasing.
No. Message the author if you want a definition. I already told you I wouldn't use the term personally.
The overall point is quite clear regardless of that terminology. And you haven't said a single thing to contest that point, you're just whining about phrasing for no apparent reason.
What they mean is the proletariat of exploitative countries, those in the imperial core, who they see as having a distinct class character from the proletariat of exploited countries.
Does that satisfy your pointless pedantry? Of course not. Now you'll find another pointless detail to quibble over, or you'll nitpick my definition. Because the point being made seems to have struck a nerve with you, but you can't actually find anything to counter it so you focus on this nonsense.
If the shoe fits, wear it. I'm guessing you know it's true, at least on some level, and that's why you're doing this.
Literally just did.
Is this how I find out I have psychic powers? Who could've predicted this?
Yet again, completely ignoring the actual point so you can do this pointless nickpicking and pedantry. Not one word that you've said has actually been relevant to anything. Extremely predictable, again, it's because you know it's true and you're defensive about it.
I already told you it's not even my fucking term.
Seriously? You can fucking google it, dumbass. Everyone knows what a Westerner is.
I'm not playing your game.
What do you mean by, "your own words?" Can you define it? What does the word "what" mean? Can you define it?
You do this blatantly bad faith shit, I'm just gonna start throwing it back in your face. I don't care whether you call me a dumbass, I care if you're being intellectually dishonest, which you very clearly are.
Why didn't you answer my question? What does it mean to put something in "my own words?" Are you a dumbass? Why can't you answer that when you said it yourself? What's a "world view" by the way? Can you define that, or are you too dumb to?
Which the author is placing in their worldview. I have been abundantly clear that I do not agree with their terminology. You're just trying to attack me on complete and total bullshit because you know you can't address my actual point.
What's a viewpoint? Can you define it? What does it mean to refute something? Can you define it?
Why aren't you answering me? You must know what these words mean if you're using them. Are you a dumbass?
Say whatever you like. I've put up with your shit long enough and I'm just going to keep doing this.
Go ahead, say I'm acting in bad faith for doing exactly what you did.
We've already seen exactly how you respond when I do answer your bad faith questions, so expect that too.
Least obviously bad faith .worlder
Liberal's brain conveniently stopped working. All knowledge that could inconvenience them just magically disappeared.
Repeats "I am very stupid" ten times in a row, thinks repeating a lie often enough makes it true. Must have been a very painful hit to the liberal worldview.
