My apologies but we cant call other poc white for being in defense of white supremacist tactics. We’ve had some issues with false accusations of whiteness in the past and we dont want that.

the user in question is Egyptian I believe

White Supremacist tactics? I think you have me confused. I’m the kind of hardliner anti-imperialist 3rd worldist who wants the complete and total destruction of the white supremacist west. I wouldn’t blink at any amount of terror inflicted upon the USA/Israel or its accomplices.

The context of these comments is discussion around Syrians or Sunni Muslims from the region posting about how relieved they and their families are Assad is overthrown and Sunni supremacists have taken power.

I’m Arab and have a family full of Arab shitlibs who also celebrated the defeat of Assad.

The defeat of Assad is the defeat of Gaza and Palestine, it’s the destruction of the axis of resistance. I am sick and tired of my fellow Arabs around me cheering on Zionist victories like idiots, and then to see that sentiment here too pushed me to being quite angry. People cheering for the genocide of Palestine essentially because they are too stupid to realize they have been duped, or possibly people abandoning Palestine and retreating into their own reactionary sectarian squabbles because it’s easier. Oh zionists appears to be winning against Palestine? Nevermind I don’t care about Palestine now I care about “sunni oppression” by the Alawite menace or whatever the fuck idiocy they’ve been sold by the turks and daesh, let’s ignore the massize Israeli invasion and landgrab and bombing campaigns and just imagine we don’t have to fight them - just like the other arab states delude themselves.

Frauddog walked into the middle of that vagueposting context, and perhaps didn’t understand what they were defending. Their argument in that context meant that people on the news mega should shut up and listen to comprador HTS softpeddling. That we were wrong to critically support Assad and should have listened to Al Qaeda Zionists instead.

You might see where my sentiment is coming from that I don’t think white communists here on this site should defer to the standard Arab position because the standard Arab position is a shitlib Zionist comprador one. The axis of resistance is the decolonial force in the region, and HTS are NATO-backed colonizers. The majority users on this site, at least in the news mega, have a better grasp on the situation in the Middle East than my family members do, and they have a more correct and decolonial analysis. They shouldn’t shut up and listen to compradors, they have a firm Marxist analysis why would they toss that away in favor of some Arab liberal views?

I come to this site to escape stupid muslim sectarian reactionary nonsense that surrounds me and find fellow decolonial marxists who would support pan-arabism. Maybe this context helps you put together why I don’t think the “stupid white commies of the news mega” should bow before the HTS apologists, and what I was talking about when I was speaking of “reactionary and imperialist narratives” pushed by compradors. Go into arab speaking social media around the fall of Assad to see the absolute shit show, 50% of those people really are brainwashed by zionists into believing in an alternate reality. UAE, Turks, Qatar, Saudis are all pushing this zionist anti-zionism. People with Palestine flags cheering on Hezbollah being surrounded by Israel, cheering American proxies taking power and Iran getting punched in the nose.

And let’s be honest. Outside of the em_poc mega, the news mega has the highest concentration of POC users. It’s extraordinary silly for the place with the highest percentage of POC users to go after the place with the second highest percentage of POC users. And not every POC newshead has ever participated in the em_poc mega. Honestly, most of them haven’t. If anything, there should be an alliance of sorts between the two megas. If the news mega somehow disappears or moves to a different instance, Hexbear will be even whiter with shittier politics to boot than it is right now.

while i think the intentions of this are good there is still soo much unchallenged bigotry (antiblackness specificly), toxicity, debate pervertism, in the news com. there is also a strange worshiping of whiteness and white men that goes on there that is unsettling. i dont think this “allience” would result in anything positive until such issues are addressed. lastly ive have TWO poc news mega users leaver yesterday and many more over the past 2 month and almost all the ones ive mannaged to talk to have mentioned the toxicity of the news mega being a main reason for them leaving. so yeah i dont think youre on the ball here.

Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Why is the title different?

We like to have fun here.

What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.

What are the basic rules of the community?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.

  3. Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m’kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.

  4. No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn’t the “one true leftism”. Take that to another place.

  5. Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is “not real” and that if you only thought like them you’d see what your “real” identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.

FAQ

I don’t look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don’t know if I can post here. Can I?

  • This place is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This includes those of mixed heritage and those who may be “white” but are of an ethnicity that is a minority in their area (i.e. Kurds, etc) If you’ve experienced oppression due to your identity that is not based on sexual / gender identification, you are welcome here.

  • Moreover, for our American audience, we have people from around the world who are “white” but are oppressed due to being a minority in their country. They are and should be welcomed here.

What can I post?

  • Anything you think is relevant to the mission of this community. Things will evolve over time.
  • Topics and things relevant to EM and POC.
