    • That sounds like a more blatant version of democrat Ezra’s “abundance” ideology. Imagine looking at modern China’s successes and thinking the best way to achieve their goals is through further deregulation and neoliberalization.

  • nothing gives me more disappointment than seeing a poc believe the racist propaganda about them, “of course we get our student visa revoked so much! we commit crimes there”, how can victims feel guilt towards their victmizers?

      Not gonna defend it but will add that among immigrants there is a lot of mixed feelings just depending on what part of let’s say Mexico your from. According from my mom people from everywhere but Guerrero are stingy backstabbers. The lumping of immigrants together by whites does something on them old histories and when you start including different countries together only confuses the issue more. Still isn’t helped with how right wing Spanish speaking news networks are. That attitude also feels very pick me tbh

      • Wmill, I have a question. Does this, lack of a better term, orientalist or regional-chauvinist view apply also to migrants and refugees south of Mexico, for Mexicans? Also, I heard, whether chauvinistically, as a ‘joke’ or not, I heard Peru’s kind of a black sheep in Latin America.

          Think it deeps from what I hear from family they got more mixed feelings about people from Mexico since they from Mexico other countries they will spout what they heard but are also easier to sway. They tend to have a favorable outlook to white people here but mostly because of how badly other people of color treat them here no doubt reinforcing this kinda outlook. The self hating immigrant or poc rarely just stick to hating themselves.

          Yes. They fucking hate Guatemalans and never shut up about it. They’re all “We’re indigenous. Aztec pride!” And then in the next breath go “lol ugly ass Guatemalans with their indigenous features.”

          And you know what? We do it too with Salvi’s and Hondurans.

    I want white people to be liberated of their own whiteness. I feel bad for them. I think this is partially possible, but not completely possible.

    Once a white person got drunk and cried while talking to me about hating being white. They cannot escape the fact that their upbringing is sterilized of culture from far more ancient ancestors. They resent the fact that their later ancestors cut ties with their own ancestral culture, and made their deal about erasing other people. Still, they can try their best to learn about the side opposing imperialism and to respect everyone that their ancestors spun up race conspiracies about. To not perpetuate white supremacy propaganda.

    They may not be able to stop being white, but they can get rid of certain aspects of whiteness. Not just in behavior because that would just be acting nice, but at the roots in their belief system. They can stop downpunching in every way they spot it.

    • An essay on this matter, though I’d say it was too optimistic

      This is why “white genocide” actually does have a meaning beyond “racial integration.” If you take away a white person’s ability to live as the undisputed master of the universe—to take his own experience as normal and privileged, and to presume all others to be debased copies of his own primary existence—then you take away his whiteness. His heart will fall to the ground and he will not be able to lift it up again. After that, nothing will happen: whiteness will be dead.

      We should welcome this manifest destiny. White people will not be systematically murdered, after all; non-white people mainly want to live as full human beings in the societies in which they were born, and they don’t need to kill white people to do it. In the 18th century, they did: if enslaved Haitians wanted to live as full human beings in the societies in which they were born, they did have to kill white people to do it; the only thing to regret is that enslavers laid the seeds of their own misfortune.

      We do not live in the 18th or 19th or even the 20th century. Donald Trump’s generation can remember America before the civil rights movement, before California and Texas—and so many of our cities—became majority-minority, before their cause became a lost one. In a generation, Donald Trump’s generation will all be dead, and they’ll be replaced by the least white generation in American history. The arc of demographics is long, though: we’ll live the rest of our lives in a world where whiteness is backed in a corner, wounded and angry. We’ll live in a world where it has never been harder for a white person to live as the undisputed master of the universe, to take his own experience as normal and privileged, and to presume all others to be debased copies of his own primary existence, where whiteness is a plurality, still, but not a majority, where white people have dominance but no longer have hegemony. Because hegemony is dominance that doesn’t need violence to maintain itself, this is a dangerous world to live in: post-hegemonic white supremacy is organizing for war, and we will not be free of it for a long time. Because white supremacists see their morbid collectivity vanishing, they are willing to die for it, and to kill.

      We can live for it, I hope. My children, if I have them, will speak Spanish, and in their life they will assimilate me into the new world we can all dream of creating together. Whiteness needs to die, because it was only ever about death in the first place. We can dream of something better, and more to the point, we can live it. A term like “white genocide” will not help us do that. But it’s good to look at what they are against, what they fear, what they hate, and remember what it is that we can be unironically for. There is probably a word for it, and I hope we all live long enough to learn what it is.

    The workplace is majority Black.

    Haha, nice.

    If I get hired, they said I can start as early as 2 days from then, but it might take longer.

    I might see about getting a bus pass. This place is pretty far and a friend gave me some Uber money to get to and from the interview.

    Let us hope.

    Love this Haitian vegan queen, by the way, but I’mma try to chill.

  • libs consider jokes about 9/11 to be offensive but not jokes about tianamen square, they either think:

    1. they don’t believe it’s real so they don’t care.
    2. they believe it’s real but dgaf because it’s not white people.

    I’ve been hanging around a lot of white queer mostly T folk lately and it’s clear when talking with them that their only oppression is that they’re queer. I can’t put my finger on it but it’s like white gays who are only gay by chance and are still republican.

    I feel like it’s impossible to separate white people from imperialism, even white “leftists” are pro NATO and hate “shithole countries” and it’s people, they will mention their backwards culture, goverment, history, and yet claim to be not racist.

    Even if they denounce capitalism, they are still imperialists and perpetuate it.

        They aren’t as explicit with their eugenics when they’re talking about antinatalism in the Imperial Core. But they sure as shit go full-mask off when talking about the Global South. They’ll repeat the neo-nazi “Great Replacement” conspiracy nonsense verbatim, yet it’s okay because they’re talking about people in Africa and Latin America.

        On social media, I have seen this trend of white leftists talking about an “obligation” to reject procreation as a form of resistance against environmental damage and capitalist exploitation. I have seen white leftists endorse antinatalism from the more philosophical angle of “no one can consent to existence.” I have seen a smaller amount of, but still some, white leftists who uphold EFILism (the belief that all sentient life on Earth should be extinguished because suffering is inherent to life.)

        In case it isn’t clear, of course I’m not a diehard “pronatalist” who believes that calls to reproduce should be actively pushed onto people, but the belief that procreation is inherently unethical coming from white people especially rubs me the wrong way. Colonized peoples constantly have their existence denied, both via psychological mechanisms (i.e., having ideas that they are “less worthy” pushed onto them) and literal violence. Procreation is something I can only view as a radical act when it is coupled with a people’s desire to prevail even when imperialism and systemic oppression tells them otherwise.

    Made some carrot lox. Thankfully enough, I already had every ingredient on hand.

    It has to sit and marinate for at least 24 hours, though, so I won’t be having it until tomorrow, but I’ll post a pic with the carrot lox, tofu cream cheese, capers, cucumbers, and pickled red onions on a bagel. I also like to add some sriracha for a spicy kick.
