Subsidiary

Fine, then, YOU be subsidiary to ME. GET OVER HERE!!!
Hym "OR... Be subsidiary to your place of employment and say the fucking pronouns. You have a responsibility to do that, apparently. And I'm glad you brought this up again because it relates to a point I wanted to make about 'cancel-culture.' Cancel-Culture on the left often relates to the idea that people shouldn't have to be subsidiary to people who discriminate (arbitrarily) on the basis of immutable characteristics. Now, I still don't believe that the system you're talking about is 'systemically racist' but it does allow for positions that relate to hiring, promotion, and attribution of resources to be occupied (indefinitely) by racists (or sexists or homophobes). So, what do you do? You're against cancelation. You're against racial bias training. You refuse to let people circumvent the hierarchy. What now? What do you do about the meritorious racist? Let me guess 'Doesn't matter as long as it's not you.' Or 'We don't know so nothing.' Or 'Live with the tension.' Right wing cancel-culture (on the otherhand) relates to depriving resources from those who promote values that are incongruent with Judeo-Christian values. Which is literally just 'Not hiring, promoting, or attributing resources arbitrarily.' So, basically just doing the thing the leftists are accusing you of doing."

Hym "I think the word you're looking for is 'subsidiarity,' Chris. So you ARE seeing them whether I post them or not. Thats cool.
