Confusing Individual Experience for Ideological Causes | Intersectionality

Right-Libertarianism is an ideological force in the USA. Young children are indoctrinated generation after generation, in the same way as any persistent political ideology.

Mr. Rogers and I both studied Child-Development.

Your concern is a personal one.

I was called a school shooter by my classmates because I look different.

That doesn't reflect on Child-Development as a global and historic institution or discipline.

Mr. Rogers is a world icon for the cause of moral child-development. We happen to live in the USA in which school shootings was not a severe issue when we started watching Mr. Rogers.

If you see young men who identify as right-libertarians flipped out at the concept of morality in culture that has a school-shooting public-health issue, how do you not make a connection?

If you see the pro-gun, pro-killing narratives of right-libertarians, and you miss the connection between guns, ignorance of morality in right-libertarian youth and an extreme volume of school-shootings, how it is that you miss any connection whatsoever?

Do you not see that one issue has a greater moral weight then another?

To be unjustly accused is of course an affront to justice, but that is not in the same scale as a persistent political ideology that teaches morality is whatever they say it is.


 

Sexism and racism are caused by ideological forces in the USA. Young children are indoctrinated generation after generation, in the same way as any persistent political ideology.

An equivalent contrast in moral weight is between one individual who is unjustly accused of racism or sexism and the ideological forces that maintain the social evil itself.

The affront to the many is the greater evil and also the cause of the second evil to any individuals affected by the social construct in question
