Given that no one told him they want to make him a slave, what were you defending it from?

Any that come close to "Demonic pigskin talking about bringing back slavery. Fuck the 'norms' you deserve to killed fuck you cracker bitch" on their level of emotion? Any that you would personally defend like you're doing this one?

I'm not shoehorning you with anybody. I'm just bemused that these "group X should be able to react emotionally to your arguments" demands are seemingly only made of me, and literally never on my behalf. I couldn't care less which group you belong to, or if you don't belong to any group at all, I care about the dynamics.
I'm not asking you to prove your past track record, I'm asking if you can think of a similar argument from the other side that you would treat the same way.
No different than if your priest tells you to shut up and listen because you are a sinner…
Except that doesn't happen.
I’m not Christian but if your local priest decides you cant partake in eucharist, as punishment for certain actions, in certain denominations aren’t you no longer in good standing?
For one, these days, not really. But the bigger point is that's an entirely different thing. This is chastising someone for what they did, I'm talking about shutting someone up because of what they are. Even in the former scenario there's a difference between Christians and progressives, in that Christians give you, in this case, a literal path to redemption. You stop doing what you did, you confess, and you're good again. With progressives once you're cancelled, you're cooked. Public apologies only make things worse.

that it can only be viewed with amused dispassion.
Are there any left-wing arguments that right-wingers are allowed to have emotional spergouts about, and you will personally defend them if they do?
Arguing over semantics does you no good.
It's not semantics. "Implicitly" means a completely different thing than "explicitly", and your argument is nowhere near as strong if you meant the former.
The logic presented in his comment also justifies the mass disenfranchisement of blacks
It might, or it might not, depending on many other factors. Reacting aggressively before determining what he said was true, is actually giving more strength to that argument than he did.
is your barometer then absolutely what i said applies to prog spaces. I exist in prog spaces and the avg white man is absolutely accepted as long as they mutter the shibboleths.
...with the caveat that if a bunch of "underprivileged" people tell you you need to shut up and listen to them because you're privileged, that's what you have to do. That's not what I call "good standing".
If anything they don’t really require you to believe them so much as you don’t cause waves or have some plausible deniability.
Yeah, but they regularly put you in situations where it's hard to keep plausible deniability. Feminists thought that they have to say "trans women are women" just to be nice, and then they got told to wax feminine balls.

By "place of honor" I mean a place where you're a member of community in good standing. In Christianity that's going to church and confessing (+possibly making amends, depending on the nature of your sin), that's the "path to redemption", and if you're on it, no one will bother you unless you start bothering others.
Also, creepy megachurch pastors? Pedo Priests?
They exist, but their existence was overblown compared to literally any other human institution.
Allowing people in power to abuse that power is classic human dynamics. Cast not the first stone unless ye are free from sin.
I'm not talking about abuses of power. I'm talking about what the given worldview sees as a justified use of power.

The difference being that Christianity does have a place of honor for you, even if you're not a champion smiting the infidels. For the progressives it's the only route to honor and glory, and it will only last for as long as you're useful to them. It's very pagan, and I feel like that's insulting to vast swathes of pagans.

None of that actually gives you an honorable place in the feminist or progressive movement, just more derision. What you actually need to do is score wins for the tribe in the public arena, then they'll let you do the creepiest sexist shit you can think of, and will even sweep it under the rug for you.
It's actually as anti-Christian as anything can be.
There was one back on Reddit, because they prevented the blocked from replying to the blockee at all, rather than just hiding the response from them.
