Seeing the whole "Black Americans vs. Africans vs. Afro-Caribbeans" infighting thing online and looking at it like:

Discussions about colonialism should be put in the same level as discussion about the earth being flat or not, There's a clear scientific and real side and another one that is delusional but also racist.

Wow uh... Is it just me or is a certain mod being a total fucking cracker in this thread? https://hexbear.net/post/5878074

@Angel@hexbear.net I might be a bit slow on the uptake but I think I understand your "only c/em_poc" policy now

I don't want to wade into any drama but that was kind of disturbing

Repubs doing gerrymandering which is clearly racially motivated and many still treat this shit like a difference of opinion. The brainwashing is real.

Always the fucking lectures from white idiots who never picked up a book.

Sometimes I’ll read posts in anglo-left spaces and realize I’m much more socially conservative compared to them. You could say I’m a product of my culture having lived in a small rural town for as long as I have. I make an effort to educate myself more with sites like this but occasionally I do come across some posts that make me reflexively roll my eyes.

american film industry is slowly transitioning to the "we made a film about how sad we were abt the genocide" phase and ive some seen people adjacent here already eat it up

All the news of ICE and shit is worrying my mom more and more, told her we're gonna look after each other but damn living in is awful.

Trying to recognize all the races from disco elysium is kind of a challenge but I'm getting it. Definitely stealing the phrase "ham sandwich race" that shit is so on point for

I just saw an Instagram reel where a South Asian man, presumably one living in a Western country, spoke about the hardships of interracial dating, particularly being a POC dating a white person.

In the comments, a white woman responded to this post with something along the lines of, "I don't disagree, but, similarly, straight women experience all of these problems in the context of misogyny because men don't experience sexism, so they can't understand their struggles!", and it seemed like she was tokenizing WOC because she also added, "And Black women dating white men experience this twofold!" or some shit like that.

Here's the thing: the contents of her comment were not necessarily wrong, but I don't get good faith vibes from it. It seems like a typical derailment used by white women who cannot stand the thought of opposing oppression besides the ones they personally face. Her comment got over 200 likes or something around there, and there were 7 positive replies to it (usually just stuff like clapping emojis) before I had to be the 8th reply and the first to call it out. I got a fair amount of likes, but after I commented, I just muted notifications because I don't wish to engage further. It's not worth it.

But what I ultimately see as the beneficial takeaway of all of this is the validation of these key beliefs of mine:

1. My skepticism of most "leftists" is totally justified.
2. My skepticism of white people is totally justified.
3. My refusal to ever date out again is totally justified.

Sometimes, especially in this gaslighting white supremacist world, I feel like I'm being "dramatic" with said skepticism, but I'm beginning to know with more and more confidence that I'm really not.

::: spoiler Sent the aforementioned Black vegan queen a pic where I show off my arms

She really liked it, and I was shocked when she said "Hey hey 🥰" in response to it.

Damn, is this rizz? I guess I can be hawt.

She sent me a kiss too 😘 :::

Interesting after the last UFC how much Western racism is targeted to khamzat because of his religion. I mean hes literally from near the caucaus mountains. Shows how bigotry makes no sense

Me when a wh*te leftist tells me, "I hate my own race so much that I don't even date 'em!"

Is that supposed to be you expressing that you're an "ally" to me?

you think you've seen hitlerism until youve seen the diaspora of your country in america. they called them gusanos for a reason.

Here is a post for discussion about the israel emote https://hexbear.net/post/5887493

sang for a Black vegan queen today

it was nice

Think I'm going to post only here, badposting, traaaa and c/news

Zposter should be unbanned , don't know why mods are so reluctant to add the :isn'treal-cool: emote.

I doubt the referral for the job did me any good, so job hunting hell continues and continues and continues and continues...

They never got back to me or updated me in any capacity.

Even as I waited for a response from the job I had the referral from, I've been scrolling so many places to see if I can get hired, and it's honestly getting a depressive level of repetitive just looking at job boards over and over and over again.

I'm at a point where I'm hardly in any capacity to be picky anymore... I'm applying to places that are even around 2 hour walks if I must, and in this hot ass sun? Perhaps a death sentence, but I don't have the capacity to be picky about anything. However, it's not like that matters. Regardless of the job, getting hired seems not to be a possibility.

cw: cringe liberal enlightened centrism

No comments were critical, by the way. It's all people being like, "Wow, it's refreshing to see this kind of nuance!"

Nuance? You mean disturbingly undialectical takes?

Is it against the terms of use here to call other people on this platform "braindead"? Asking because I dont like being called braindead.

Thinking of my crushes so far and it's mostly been towards white people, especially on online spaces it's just hard enough finding people with my similar interests and political leanings. Idk how to feel on it sometimes it's like no matter how well I might click with someone I'm crushing on I do worry on them not quite getting a lot of stuff or having any real frame of reference where I'm coming from. I'm probably too immature to date anyway but it's something I think about from time to time.

First. Have a great week, Comrades!

So called least racist country

I like the banner of Ansarallah, but I disagree with some points, for example how the list of death isn't long enough.

I definitely have to ween my parents off the news, mom got saying how Mexico won't do anything about all the crime. Had to explain to her no the news has an agenda pls stop watching ot

لو واصل الغرب على هذا المنوال سيصبح مصطلح "دول العالم الأول" اهانة بدل العكس

been loving coconut milk lately

POC coworker casually saying people should be put in German concentration camps for bad work... Just, why?

reddit is so amazing. i open it once and see two highly upvoted r*pe iokes in near succession, and then another post comparing china to the KKK and nazi germany. i think thats a good divine sign to never set foot in these sites ever again.

Mainstream media reporting the gaza takeover as "expanding military operations". I truly hate how westerners talk out both sides of their mouths

I’m always a little suspicious when I see alleged poc leftists on Reddit who claim to be from the global south while ranting about Western-leftists nonstop and every AES country. All while propping up Anarchists as the leftists who actually get things done.

I have plenty of issues with leftists from the global north and do sometimes find the blind China optimism annoying, but these guys seem to realllly be bothered by it.

Chuds getting mad now that a video game removed the British colonial helmet, I was going to ask them if they'd feel the same if the game had a Nazi helmet, then I remembered they would.

Got another interview on Tuesday.... hope that goes well. A comrade told me that this nearby vegan bakery is hiring, too, so I went ahead and sent in my resume.

Post your politics in one map. I'll start

What do people think would be the safest areas to be in the US in the event of a nuclear attack, other than under your school desk?

I was thinking maybe some cities near the Canadian and Mexican borders since it's likely the other country wouldn't want to peripherally hit the other countries as well, but maybe once nukes start flying that type of calculation is off the table. I'm guessing midwest is fucked since they have silos in those areas, right? Hawaii and Puerto Rico are probably fine. Maybe some random places, National Parks and such?

Anyway, yeah, just some typical Monday doomsday hypotheticals!

Just started breaking bad and I hate this guy so much idk better call saul I definitely felt was better on the amount of slurs he keeps dropping is like damn aside this guy is just an asshole also the suburban white people are unbearable.

Idk if anyone follows Lacrosse but the Seneca Nation just acquired the Rochester Knighthawks. Pretty interesting development for them.

I probably couldn't tell the dif between clark kent and superman either but because white dudes look the same to me/I don't see any color

No crackas 🤭🤭

Thinking about how only white or rich people have the privilege of being doomers and resigning the faith of the world, because ultimately that allows them to easily give up trying to create a more equitable world, with the comfort of knowing they’ll ultimately be fine in the end as their privilege carries them through while the rest of the world burns, they no longer have to expend energy for the benefit of the undesirables. Yes I feel down about the state of the world but I have no choice but to fight to make it better for myself and others like me, I don’t get to just kick my feet up and hide away from the monstrosities

Other day was at the library and I come in to hear these old white women talking apparently one was ranting to the other about something, in response the other says "no it's totally normal to rant about things just you know ranting about immigration probably not. She says this as I'm 7 feet away drinking from the water fountain. Old white people istg

I half think trump is going extra authoritarian not just to drum up his base support and hide his Epstein ties, but to provoke the "libs" into doing 2020 style protest so they can start shooting

You know, you could pull up 1930s Nazi propaganda posters and show them to abled cis white people and they'll agree with it.

I found a suspicious behavior around the transfem YouTuber. She randomly bans everyone across her communities. Blind rages are horrible for both the banning person and the people around her communities.

I recently learned that the woman who sings the song All Around the World (Lisa Stansfield) is white, and the shock still hasn't worn off yet.

I've been enjoying carne de soya a lot recently, 4 dollars a largish bag basically textured vegetable protein if anyone interested. Go to is sauteed an onion, mushrooms, and some carrots. Add some sauces like BBQ and chilli into it and water and finally mix the stuff in. I make a solid amount and I add some ground flax seed in to thicken it up.

Taylor Lorenz went on a weird rant about how DSA were like Nazis because they didn’t enforce masking and then argued that the right-wing is more inviting to different people while the left is too abrasive. Whitest take I’ve seen in a while. Nazis are not friendly and inviting if you’re a poc lmao they can barely hide their contempt and condescension if at all.

Taylor Lorenz seemingly suffers from a case of being terminally online.

Figuring out some choice chisme and wanting to share it is so damn good, gives me something to look forward to. In retrospect it makes so much sense and I feel like a smarty pants for figuring it out it involves my friend group I'll only tell one of them tonight the rest can figure out on their own
