      What a fucking banger.

      Would your platform allow a game about whites stealing from African museums?

      The stupidity on display is astoundingcolumbo-donk

    Had a bit of a scare, my mom feel earlier and she was in tears scared for a bit. Calmed her down and checked her leg, rn she’s resting and seems. Think she popped her knee out and back in place and is more focused on the bump on her shin. Doing RICE and put a novella on for her to keep her occupied and she’s chilling.

    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.

    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. doomer

      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.

        The Wretched of the Earth quote

        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.

    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.

    I casually said the line, “Heterosexuals are the white people of sexualities,” while talking to someone, and I don’t know why it goes so hard.
