I woke up today forgetting that it's pride month, and it feels sad because I know the reason why: I've distanced myself from LGBTQ+ spaces so much that it just didn't occur to me like it has for the past few years. Why? Because most of the LGBTQ+ spaces I've interacted with are overwhelmingly white, and the experiences with that, as you would expect, are

Why do racist White Americans adopt nonwhite kids as much as they do? I see this a lot from Guatemalan adoptees. They’re always very visibly mestizo or indigenous kids with Anglo names like Jason Smith who were raised by a racist straight or lesbian couple.
They come down here and talk about how thankful they were to be away from this hellhole (their own words) and will brag about their white spouses who tend to be just as racist as their parents. Their politics range from being far-right to neoliberal with the only leftists I’ve met being those with an estranged relationship with their parents.

the same reason enslavers wanted non-white bodies. as livestock or as pets.
they would probably treat their own bio children as pets too but squeezing out tiny humans doesn't stroke their ego like the social adulation of adopting or fostering.

::: spoiler Doomer [About the State of Hexbear When It Comes to POC]
I've been thinking on whether or not I should start limiting myself to c/em_poc and c/mutual_aid again, and I've been increasingly feeling like it's only right that I do so.
Interacting with white leftist ignorance is just too much of a chore and a toll on my mental health that I currently do not need right now. Hexbear isn't immune to it. In fact, I feel like too many crackers on this site are blinded by the "I'm one of the good ones" mentality to a point that they'd never take a step back in their life to sit and wonder if there's any way they can stop being so fucking upsetting to their EMPOC comrades.
Like I said in this comment,, white Hexbears are not some heightened level of better or less performative than your typical white leftist you'll find anywhere else.
I've been being more and more diligent with the job search and even went about ways of thinking outside the box to see if I can have a more solid chance at landing a gig. Once I actually get a job in the capacity to care for myself, the pattern will stay the same: I will only use this site for c/em_poc and c/mutual_aid, but in this case, I hope I can start using the latter more as a donor than a recipient. Unfortunately, the trans clinic job did not accept me.
It's really sad for me to sit here and reflect on the fact that, though I'm a newish user, I've heard of many past incidences of EMPOC Hexbears leaving this site because of this shit. It's really depressing, but it's not shocking, and it's not like it's any bit reasonable for me to expect this site to ever get any better about it.

Im wondering how it would be received if one points out that possibly the biggest reason next to hell maybe bigger than class , America doesn't have healthcare, public spending etc that resembles even socdem levels is because of racism both anti black and towards the latino population with all the border fear mongering (asian folks as well). Hell race and class intertwined a lot because America been kind of a caste system for a while.
People like Frederick Ludwig Hoffman justified African Americans being charged higher insurance premiums with race science and he is very influential since then in the industry and the zeitgeist. His works were part of what was used to argue against a single healthcare system. Teddy Roosevelt at a critical time was promoting social healthcare and Hoffman stepped in to oppose it. The insurance company he work with were critical in what stopped the idea of single healthcare system proliferating.
Hell several insurance companies still charged higher insurance premiums blatantly for black people until 1984. Hell education system too zip codes and all that. These are just a few examples
Its no coincidence why chuds hell even libs point to racial homogeneity as a reason for why Japan china norway etc have better healthcare etc. It ain't no coincidence even lib politicians are subtle about the replacement theory with immigration. I ain't gonna say no class because class will always be a constant struggle but in a society with damn near caste system where race and class are treated almost the same down to material conditions for a long time there with a few exceptions its hard to ignore this shit.

In the colonies the economic substructure is also a superstructure. The cause is the consequence; you are rich because you are white, yon are white because you are rich. This is why Marxist analysis should always be slightly stretched every time we have to do with the colonial problem.

Oh Americans definitely eat shit if it means someone they don't like has to smell it. Liberals become rabid fascists when you suggest open borders should be a thing.

I argue it would have a more potent racism, due to it functionally justifying their society and economic mode of production, built upon the basis of dispossessing indigenous people's land and livelihoods and expanding this further else upon their region. In essence, their identity, economy, society requires that racism live, more longer, compared to Palestine, which has lack of need for it.
I was assuming you're generalizing and equating Falastinis with Israelis, in terms of racism, but as much as a Falastini will be racist to you, Israelis would be worse, due to the material system that racism lives with, and is in fact, supported by.

I actually did advocacy for the city council hearing that Adam Friedland was trolling during the cold open of his new Ro Khanna episode.
If anyone is in NYC and interested, the NYPD runs an entirely secretive gang database which basically only registers Black and Latino young men. No italian mobsters, no Chinese street gangs. There have been kids as young as 12 added onto there and some people found themselves on there because they posted a selfie with a gang member or live in a public housing complex where gang activity occurs.
A specific case was when a graduate student in Connecticut got arrested for a RICO bust over Bronx gang activity because he featured people in his neighborhood in his amateur hip-hop videos. The federal prosecutor threatened him with the death penalty so he pled guilty to a weed trafficking charge and ended up getting kicked out of college right before graduation and lost his scholarship/financial aid. He’s delivery DoorDash right now.

I found myself indirectly involved with anti-migrant sentiment in Guatemala. Basically one of my old cars got stolen by a guy and used to kill an old man. The entire town spread a rumor that it was a migrant from El Salvador making his way to America and a lynch mob was formed. Then it was revealed that the guy who did it was a local repeat offender who last got arrested for beating up his girlfriend.
Police and a military official showed up at my place and interrogated me for four hours, one in person and the other through phone. It was mind-numbing to go through the same line of questioning over and over.
I wasn’t even aware the issue had gained much traction outside of my town until I saw it mentioned in a Facebook post about how violent the migrants are with lots of likes. This was in a group that covers the entire department (state, province, etc.) that I live in.

Same. Except, my nickname is based off my legal name but people who don't speak the language wouldn't know this. I've been told they thought I just decided to pick a totally different name because it sounded cooler. Haha
Fr my white friends here my legal name and can't connect the dots, my mom has a cooler one goes by Maria but for some reason her family call her kooka I think that's how you spell it
Kuka? Is she Puerto Rican? I knew an older Puerto Rican lady named Kuka.
Please feel free not to answer to avoid doxxing though.
cuca is also a nickname in mexico
Ah. It's a nickname for Maria?
i think so, but i seen it being used for concepcion
Funny, according to Wikitionary, Cuca refers to
That's it and nah she from mexico so idk why she has that she just said that's her family nickname
Extremely common to have several depending on context. My will tell stories about how can know someone for decades without knowing their govy.
Even in gamer(tm) spaces most ppl will just refer to each other by their tags.
Yeah for me most of my friends online know my name, like not legal name but familiar nickname. It feels nice I always wanted my irl friends to use it but I was too meek to get them to use it now when they call me it I feel happy.
New black panther in the comics is white and the vast majority of poc don't give a shit because we have real world problems. What a shock.

Have been sick for a while now. Started scrolling way too much again.
Reached the funny Islamic side, where people accuse eachother of being sufi, madhkalis, pseudo-salafis, kufr, munafiqeen, wahhabis, claims to be the Ahl al-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa’ah and all other crazy stuff like the hustle culture bros or the Ottoman Empire apologists.
I am tired. What a waste of time. Really need to touch some grass.
Hell yeah new empoc mega
Finally got it... procrastinated a lot. Gonna be the longest track on the album at 8 minutes and 10 seconds. Real proud of it! It's prog af.
The main riff for the next song laid out
I actually built this riff upon an older djoke comment I made here
After this track, I got one more to write, and it's just gonna be a very short instrumental, like no more than 2.5 minutes most likely.
There is new heist game about a group reclaiming back stuff stolen from colonizers and crackers are crying in the comments
What a fucking banger.
The stupidity on display is astounding
I structured an intro and a verse section.
The verse starts when the ambient guitar comes in at 0:27. I decided to make the ambient guitar and the chug guitar polyrhythmic.
I wrote this song to be a semitone flat, being in drop E♭₁ instead of drop E₁.
