Remember, EM POC only!
I finally got my internet back. It took them fucking long enough. I guess this means that I’m finally away from all of the outages that Milton gave me.
I’m still overall pissed off about… everything else that made this hurricane suck, but I’ll try to do positive vibes right now.
That aside, good day to all of my EM POC comrades!
i feel like every time racism is brought up on hexbear it’s some arcane instance of it, almost as if the entire concept of racism is reduced to some trope.
I don’t know, just don’t feel like it’s discussed in a real manner, i can’t seem to relate most of the times the topic comes up
yeah, I agree.
Are there any recent examples?
That thread about the topic of Trump chuddery boiling down to racial resentment didn’t really sit well with me.
oh my god that whole thing is a nightmare
Honestly, and I may be wrong, a lot (and by that I mean probably most )of people who leave the left, dirtbag or nazbol stupidpol types seem to come from people that have racial or lgbt animus. I just say this because if someone cracks on here thats most likely gonna be the reason. I ain’t saying its gonna be one of em but a lot of times its at the root. Intersectional things end up being the breaking point.
Oh that OP… yeah, looking through the modlog, @FearsomeJoeandmac@hexbear.net would’ve made a good Measurehead…
would’ve made a good Measurehead…
How so?
Everyone’s just screaming read theory at him but none of them seems to have read Fanon
having a crush on someone when you know it won’t work out is awful.
I relate, but it’s a relief when you do eventually move on. A few months ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about the coworker I mention in this comment, and now, I’m like “She’s all cool and good, but we can’t be together, and that’s okay.” She’s not vegan, and I only date vegans, so oftentimes, I can just alleviate the pain of a crush I don’t want if the person I’m crushing on is non-vegan. Reminding myself of their carnism will really turn me off with enough focus. She does seem like she has a “vegan heart,” in that she gives off the vibe that she wouldn’t be difficult to convince in theory, but yeah, you could never know for sure with this kind of stuff.
Reminder that queer cracKKKers are still cracKKKers
We don’t relax around CACs, het or queer. They’ll both sell you out to the same system.
hot take: individual acts of racism are morally wrong and should never be excused.
second hot take: REFUSING to use the colloquial version of a word when YOU KNOW what the other person is talking about and refusing to explain what you mean is the most annoying fucking Reddit ass behavior.
we just cant stop cooking!!
Maybe unrelated but this is how I feel about the word ‘removedy’. Someone found it used to be a racialized term and others caught on that they should modify their language. Except colloquially, this term is more attributed to horror and lost the original dictionary definition(if there was one). Meanwhile, I bet these people have no problem calling something ghetto, a term more modernly racialized.
I love how I was able to use my galaxy brain to fill in the removed with enough thought.
Holy crap, I didn’t even know it was part of the banned word list here. Kind of proves my point
message me off hexbear with the word im too tired to use my brain
Done!
Chances this guy learns from his mistake, realizes he was being a weapons grade piece of shit, and that that’s bad instead of blaming woke?
Me when someone complains about “anti-white racism”
Capitalism is bad enough, but now my front tooth is chipped and the system is a fuck 😡
stressors, misery though I'm working on it somewhat and reaching out for help IRL
Is it a migraine, an aneurysm, a nocebo, or the weight of racism and the collapsing empire, financial stressors and dysphoria/dysmorphia/depression?
Hell if I know
porque no los dos?
True, probably both. Probably will see a doctor about it end of the month
You and your whole race.
Look down upon the town in which you live
And be ashamed.
Look down upon white folks
And upon yourselves
And be ashamed
That such supine poverty exists there,
That such stupid ignorance breeds children there
Behind such humble shelters of despair—
That you yourselves have not the sense to care
Nor the manhood to stand up and say
I dare you to come one step nearer, evil world,
With your hands of greed seeking to touch my throat,
I dare you to come one step nearer me:
When you can say that
you will be free!

Day one of bus training
Holy mackerel I’m so clueless but I’m picking up concepts pretty fast!
What does EM stand for? I’m sorry you’ve been affected by Milton. Glad you got your internet back. I hope you’re able to get nice and cozy where you’re at.

Othello gone
damn i’ll miss Othello
Why did Othello leave, anyway?
no clue but there’s always opsec (recycle hexbear accs) also hexbear isn’t perfect so maybe Othello’s just distancing loveself from this site
either way, i hope loves in a better place now
othello will return at some point under a different name - trusted source
and the reason was stress and opsec
alright that makes more sense. hopefully love can find comfort in loves environment irl and on hexbear
I figured that was the case when the thread went from 40-something comments to 35. 😞
Damn. Othello was cool.
I find a brother struggling but was too busy trying to convert me to hear what im saying about academics. He’s cooked but he doesnt realise just how cooked he is yet
