Racism’s Awkward Rules

If the name Shiva Ayyadurai  sounds familiar, it’s likely because he sued Mike Masnick and Techdirt over its calling bullshit on Ayyadurai’s claim that he invented email.  He lost. But he’s running for Senate from Massachusetts and, well, see for yourself.

Try untwisting this mash of humanity and insanity, all under the cries of racism. This is the best a future of social justice can bring, warring tribes reduced to violence in the name of their personal flavor of justice.

Is the racist the white guy, violating the fundamental rule of social justice that white people can never challenge a person of color? Is the racist (or sexist) Ayyadurai for attacking Sen. Liz Warren? Are they all racists? Who decides?

The one thing that’s clear is that it ends up in violence, because no matter how much they want to wrap themselves in righteousness, they’re just brutish, ignorant thugs with a new religion wrapped up in lofty goals, backed by force.
