Spent a lot of time around whitey this week and they’re completely shook over Trump winning (as though they’re the ones who will face any serious consequences). Not one mention of Palestine. They’ll list every reason under the sun except the elephant in the room. People didn’t show up to vote because the options were Tojo and Hitler. Genocide overseas or genocide at home.

A more generous (but naive) person would say they’re just ignorant of what’s been happening and are hyper-focused on Trump and Musk. But I think they do know and want to pretend it isn’t happening and the US isn’t complicit. They either agree with zionism or they think of the US as “the good guys.” They don’t want to say it out loud because then they’d have to acknowledge what we’re doing and the cognitive dissonance would physically manifest.

Related to this all, I went to a funeral for a guy I met once or twice, but was related to one of my mom’s lifelong friends. I was told everyone was vaxxed and they really wanted to see me there etc. etc. Lo and behold, this motherfucking whitey shows up and she’s got the coof. “She’s past the five days of being contagious and tested negative this morning and…” No, shut the fuck up. I have a compromised immune system. Nor do I want it. And of course people are hugging her and coming up to chat but it’s “fine because she’s wearing a mask” (that isn’t the right kind and she’s taking off to blow her nose as she cries over her dead relative). And of course she gets up and goes to stand by the drinks and cookies to chat with people and cry.

Luckily I already got my free shit so I was able to leave. Got into the car and immediately had a “Thanks for not saying ‘Another crackkker down unlimited genocide on the first world’ at Grandpa’s funeral, that took a lot of restraint,” play in my head. I was the only non-white person there out of like 100+ people. Maybe they’ll all get covid and I can gloat later, so that’s nice.
