I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

I don't think that there's anything inherently wrong with discrimination if it's truly justified, I just think that most of the discrimination that people do *isn't* justified, because it's based on stupid, ignorant, often-hateful shit.

Take 'affirmative action' for instance - it's a type of institutionalized discrimination that's designed specifically to counter an older and uglier type of discrimination. I'm not personally a fan of affirmative action - I believe in giving positions to the person who's the most qualified, period. But if some people need to use one kind of racism/sexism to counter another kind of racism/sexism, then I don't think that it's such a bad thing, as long as it's not taken too far.

I discriminate heavily against sociopaths and narcissists, and really any one with a strongly character disordered psychological condition. I discriminate against abusers and bullies, and to an extent anyone who's an asshole. Some people don't - some people fight for the idea that destructive people should be thought of as being sick, and should be tolerated and accepted. On one level, I think that *most* people fight for the acceptance of any bully that's subtle enough about it. I think that that's naive and dangerous.

At the end of the day, I believe that taking no-matter-what acceptance and non-judgement too far can be just as dangerous and destructive as taking discrimination too far.
