  • A lot of westerners take middle east’s casual racism, sexism and homophobia as a sign of Israel’s progressiveness, when in reality the zionist entity is a competitive player, putting gay people in prison is a rookie move when you can black mail them into doing terrorism and being informants [insert clever way to include how female IOF soldiers that are available for marriage are presented during birth right tour].

      A lot of westerners, unfortunately, really have fallen for the lie that the Global North is more “advanced” in terms of LGBTQ+ rights, women’s rights, etc. than the Global South. Pinkwashing would no longer be as handy for deception if more of them knew this wasn’t the case. The West is quite clearly still incredibly bigoted towards anyone who isn’t white, cishet, a man, etc.

    Glad Hulk Hogan dead but annoyed with all the white people on reddit-logo saying “I don’t agree with his views but you’re a piece of shit for celebrating his death” dear lord the amount of lmayo giving a shit about him is astounding. Like you’re clearly defending him if you keep asking for us to respect him after he died for his family like nah no dice.

        100% agree it’s such a coward move on top of the bigotry. I think the funniest comment was “he has a family” and people responding “hulk hogan didn’t give a shit about them when he was alive why should I now” civility politics means telling poc and minorities to take it on the chin and never the oppressors to act decent towards us.

    I hate how living in the “ghetto” is both something people will discriminate against while also wanting to act like they grew up in it. What sparked this thought was hearing two pasty foreign teens say, “why you lowkey ate with that?” I remember when talking like that would make whites think you were mentally deficient and now they do it all the time while acting like they grew up in the projects even though most of them live in the nicest suburbs.

      Eminem and his consequences have been a disaster for American culture.

      There were a lot of these white boys when I was in high school who would talk in AAVE and impersonate Eminem. They listened to no other hip hop and were complete posers. Our school was in one of the safest places in the city, yet these whities were acting like they bang.

      While we didn’t have many black people where I grew up, we did have a lot of Latine people. So of course these dumbfuck kids are also racist and classist while their parents buy them cars to sit around in and beat box in the parking lot. A lot of them played sports on top of that, which got them more leeway when they did stupid shit that would get other kids suspended.

      I don’t know what happened to all these preps after graduation. I imagine they inherented their dads’ boat dealerships. I’m ranting. You just unlocked a memory of people I loathed back in high school lol

      White people have no culture so they just pick from ones they like. It is funny hearing them talk like they knowing if they step foot in an area with a homeless person, they’ll freak out and swear they survived the projects

      Country that is the chief in exploiting poor countries and sanctions 60 percent or more of the poorest nations (my country included), has shit like monroe doctrine, has nationalist in office and white nationalists party, flags of confederates flown all over the place which would be seen as treason almost any other place in the world given the history but racist brainworms keep normalising it. Even with the layman’s how many convos or jokes with em eventually turn racial? Twitter is shite but the delusion is all over.

      Edit to add they’ve managed to demonise Muslims to an extreme degree despite their country being the one contributing to millions of their deaths. No one right now has the numbers they have (tho not for lack of trying)

        Don’t forget Manifest Destiny and the reservations concentration camps that they’ve made for the people who were living in the country before they set foot in this country.

      pretty much every minority i’ve ever known here has stockholm syndromed themselves into bootlicking just for a taste of adjacency to white people, or has been completely forgotten, abandoned, ostracized, hurt, or killed. not sure it gets more racist than that, it’s extremely sinister the way they’ve convinced people if you’re not getting called slurs just for stepping out the house then racism doesn’t exist. and the slurs come around anyways

    I hate the white cracker treat brain. “I come here to escape real-world problems.” Motherfucker, if you can turn that part of your brain off, it’s not really a problem for you, is it?

    I do not get the privilege of telling the cops “Yeah I don’t feel like doing a racist ableism right now. Can we reschedule this for Thursday?” with them responding all “Okay that works for us, too! We’ll be back to do our racial profiling then! Please meet us again right here.”

    If I can’t rely on the people in this space to not whine about how something happening is affecting their ability to consoom without thinking about the thing, it means I have to keep my guard up. You get to zone out, while I have to go through the effort of watching what I say in case some fuckwad thinks it’d be funny to send false reports to ICE/the FBI/local police/Social Security Admin/the IRS as the least harmful scenario that could play out.

      It gets even worse when you try to bring up politics in their favorite escapism, I’m in the weird case where I do like it and see a lot of potential in some lib media but I have to remind myself it’s still lib media. Racism is just here is usually some dumb fuck saying something and the heroes giving an epic clapback instead of anything systemic tear down of institutions that keep minorities down. Hereos can stop a world ending threat but “oh no don’t fight the cops they’re just doing their jobs” it’s only a few bad apples shit.

    Trying to decipher how much of my personality is appeasement mannerism come about from being big and brown and folx idk sometimes I feel bad for experiencing emotions that could be seen as threatening and it’s just exhausting. Definitely feels like I’m playing a stereotype for acceptance and a pessimistic part of me tells myself people just keep me around to feel better about themselves.

        Right, they’re good to feel and I do with my family but outside with white people I sometimes feel like I gotta keep a happy dopey mask on. I also tend to come off as very apologetic and it’s hard to turn off

          Sounds like we might have the opposite approach to the same problem and are both suffering because the problem itself isn’t one that can be fixed without fixing white people. It feels like a damned no matter what you do thing. I don’t have the capacity to mask anymore but then I keep getting in trouble with white people for being open and honest about being a human being and having feelings that aren’t just “I’m a bhoddisattva”. It’s frustrating, but the price of playing nice is frustrating too.

            yea it’s very much a white people in general thing but I’m not holding my breath on them changing anytime soon just getting worse. badeline-disgust I’ve grown sicken with how many of them might have only been kind to me because of a white savior complex I’m dead certain that’s the case to every white church I’ve frequented growing up with friends.

    why do so many people get away with being so vocally “pro-Palestinian” and “anti-genocide” but you work at IBM/Microsoft/PwC/insert other company that directly contributes to the genocide ??? how are you so SHAMELESS?

    I’m getting back on the plant based wagon after falling off for a long while. Feels really great. It’s been a work in progress for a while, but most of my meals are starting to be plant based and it makes me happy 😊

    I’m stressed about mass deportation, but still doing my best to get out there and resist ICE despite being part of their target demographic. I figure being out in front is safer since I can at least partially set the terms of engagement. I really don’t want to be blindsided, I’ve already accepted that bad shit will happen. I just don’t want it to be a surprised when it finally does.

      As an American, I agree. We have the absolute worst takes you’ll ever see and they’re posted all over social media, “news” outlets, etc. It’s a constant barrage of brainworms, liberalism, treatlerite, fascist word salad.

        Almost. It really started in February of last year. I’ve had a few pockets of grace, but they didn’t last long.

        One job I got terminated without explanation and the other was a temporary position which sucked anyway (especially due to issues like misgendering and microaggressions) so I left before it even ended but it was close to ending when I did.

        A few other jobs seemed like promising offers but ended up being misleading and deceptive.

        Since this is the only instance where I leveraged networking to increase my chances of getting a job, this one seems to be far more likely to land.
