Because I recently had to crumple up a cracKKKa who wandered into this community, uhh, let me be clear:

EM POC ONLY

Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week’s featured EM POC thread.

How are all my comrades doing?

    randomly remembered my first interaction with an American, was during the first Trump presidency, I was in some game’s clan, I barely spoke English and didn’t know much about the U.S., a person in the clan said they were American and I instantly replied with something in the idea of “Trump bootlicking evil doer living in inequaly” it was a whole rant but I think I talked about Iraq and how the rich waste money on coke in the same country people die homeless, I got kicked and I stopped playing that game.

    Edit: my mom was talking to me and referred to MLK.Jr and Malcolm x as “those guys who did Jihad for Black people to have rights” because she forgot their names

      “those guys who did Jihad for Black people to have rights”

      That’s the most based way I’ve ever heard the Civil Rights Movement described; let your mother know she’s adored for that one

      European SSocdems do kinda be like that, before they fully realized that EU’s interests is linked with NATO

      Makes me wonder: How were you politically, before?

    Curious if any other trans people share this sentiment with me but the whole trans thing ended up being a lot less big of a deal than I thought

    It’s infinitely easier for me to find cis people who are cool with me being trans than Americans who aren’t weird about me being a minority

      Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I’m generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.

      I have less attachment to being transgender. I don’t really think of myself like that much. I’m just a woman and I’d like to be treated as one by the people around me. I have very little in common with almost every other trans person I have met in real life.

        One randomly decided to lie to me today and said “thousands of people have committed suicide” since the election.

        I looked it up in front of them and then they changed it to “it might have been attempts” then “the hotlines were overwhelmed”

        They literally get off on this shit, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been murdered and they don’t care but just make shit up about how they’re being oppressed when trump isn’t even president yet???

          Even if thousands of crackers necked themselves over Donald J. Trump, the same kind of white man they’ve ALWAYS been ruled by, it wouldn’t make up for a drop of Palestinian blood shed. Settler blood is staggeringly-high in quantity and so far below sea level in value that if we strapped a camera to it, we’d finally find out what was at the hadopelagic depths; you could bleed every cracker in Amerika and it wouldn’t even start making up for it.

    I have never participated in a war but I’m 100% convinced it’s not that hard to not accidentally shoot civilians, Amerikkkan movies make it seem like children and unarmed civilians will be running towards your iron site, not even explosive stuff or strikes, it’s not hard to like not fire a school full of children. the way I see it is manufacturing consent to war crimes, a war criminal admits to killing kids but has to act like he didn’t enjoy it.

      Liberals love to regurgitate leftist words so they can appear “”““enlightened, engaged, and informed””“” or whatever the fuck. The amount of times I’ve seen some libshit kkkkracker call someone a reactionary after getting called that themselves would make me rich. They love using mental health terminology, too.

    Whenever the audacity of global caucacity starts getting to me (read: right now, these past two weeks have been insufferable), I just stop and wonder. “How much fewer shitty redditor takes would I have to read in this day and age if John Brown was allowed to hole-punch more slave-exploiting crackers?”

    Like, how many lineages with shitty, rotten fruit would’ve been pruned at the branch if Brown’s plans went off without a hitch, and he took that rebellion on a colonial tour? Puts a smile on my face to think about, tbh.

    Just remember for this blaming minorities and gen z: both demographics came out in big numbers to the blm protests and vote against Trump. The numbers show that Trump didn’t really win any new converts. Majority just stayed home and the only demographics to vote for Trump as a majority were white men/women.

    You can bet which one is going to have articles giving them a lot more sympathy.

      I literally saw a post that showed Trump voter stats for race and gender, but they were completely separate, and white people and men as groups were roughly the same percentage, but this liberal white woman commented on the post, “Wow, men are not okay” or something to that effect. This is just reinforcing the theory that many Western white feminists do not care about ending oppression; they just want patriarchy to stop inconveniencing them personally. They’ll side with white supremacy if given the chance.

      And, of course, there’s this. This is not a first-time thing for me.

      This is why I often have a lot of hard time trusting mainstream feminists or even get wary when I see any “anti-male” stuff. On the surface, to a non-intersectional, close-minded cracKKKer who has never thought critically about feminism in their life, complaining about men collectively just comes off as women innocuously exercising their very much justified frustration with patriarchy, which isn’t false in many cases. However, such rhetoric has harmed men of color in particular, and trans people do get negatively impacted by the bioessentialist implications that sometimes are hidden within these kinds of complaints.

      Most Hexbears not being aware of the fact that this sentiment has been used in racist ways isn’t a shock to me because Hexbear absolutely can be mayo as fuck, but with how many trans users we have, I’m surprised at how many people on this site act like this kind of rhetoric is never used to hurt trans people. And by that, I mean, no, it doesn’t only hurt trans people in the case of mask-off Rowlingesque TERF rhetoric; mainstream liberal feminism is plagued with this shit too. I think I just found it easier to notice because, as a transfem of color, the reactionary stick of imperial feminists beats me twice as hard.

    Another thing against the generation shit: most of them are based on white western mostly anglo speakers of that generation, the definition of gen z fits mostly white middle class Americans, “the generation the grew up on phones” only in the west the rest of them in the third world didn’t, even when being critical of things some will say “most of gen z lingo is stolen from AAL” as in white people taking slang from African Americans, when people say gen z they don’t include black people born from 1995 to 2010. Boomers aren’t inherently racist Trump supporters, Xoomers aren’t inherently centrist edgelords, mellenials aren’t inherently Harry potter avocado hillary clinton, these are white features not generational features.

        Pretty much. I’ve heard younger Indians and Saudis refer to their older generations as “boomers.” Even Russian liberals call the generation nostalgic for the USSR “boomers.”

      A lot of black Boomers straight-up took bullets for civil rights or shot klansman and cops. It’s often overlooked in generational discourse.

      Something that really hit home for me listening to Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was that I’m around the same age as Kendrick Lamar and yet his experiences of the '90s were awful. I’ve known about the Rodney King riots because I was alive at the time, but GKmC put it into perspective there were people whose childhoods were affected by those same riots. Columbine was a shock, as well as the Oklahoma City Bombing, but it doesn’t compare living in a place at the height of the Blood-Crips feud.

      My point is how it’s utterly bizarre generations get lumped together while ignoring other factors. Kids who grew up in Compton in the '80s and '90s have more in common with kids who grew up in New York during the 1920s and '30s than they do with kids the same age who grew up in suburbs. Lumping generations together like this seems bad for even capitalists. They’re leaving money on the table when they market products towards a generation without considering how different experiences can be within that generation.

    I still love my people but they have lost their damn minds after Tuesday. Saying no one is there for us so they won’t be there for anybody else. I asked them, what have you done for people ? Crickets. Nevermind we had fantastic protest turnout in 2020 nevermind there is a literal genocide happening to another group that I know they’re ignoring. Anyway, we’re not free unless we’re all free
