people are saying such shitty things about me. ill probably delete this, but can some of my comrades just give me a pep talk if your up to in. I know logically I love this place and this is a bad day, but I cant stop crying, i do so much work going out, doing mutual aid, supporting union drives, working with the dsa and psl ect and it doesn’t fucking matter because as soon as I vent about the class of people who are giving me a hard time IM somehow stopping racial solidarity from happening. it hurts so bad and makes everything feel so pointless. i feel so disposable. im not gonna debate anyone i just want to chat with nice comrades who care. im actually crying hard over internet shit maybe its my sign to leave.
edit: THANK YOU for the out pouring of love comrade, here, in my dms, and on cytube. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I will be staying. I will be taking a break after this sundays fanon post (its the last one and BEST chapter hope i can see you there) but I shall return even more powerful than before. you guys are amazing thank you again to everyone committed to making this a safe space for BIPOC people to express themselves.
im supposed to be reading and I cant even focus.
I’ve been reading through the last few days of posts. Fuck those fuckers Othello. You’re one of the coolest posters here, and I’m sorry you had to put up with such repeated caucasity without a single PPB to back you up.
ive personally really enjoyed seeing all of your contributions and i feel like you are genuinely trying to make this site a nicer place. idk what went down but id be sad to see you go
it’ll probably be good to take a break for bit, which is always nice in its own way. this should be a place where you enjoy spending your time and if that’s not happening you should be doing those things instead
idk what went down
I said i hate white people after reading some of the most heinous modern day nazi shit imaginable. and now people are saying things like (im paraphrasing so i dont have to unblock people)
“this person is probably white” they said that after someone told them I was not white. “othello is whats stopping racial solidarity” “Othello believes the same things that nazis believe” “why do you want to hurt white people othello” shit like that. like im actually being compared to the people who want me dead. why? because I check notes RECOGNIZE RACE AS A REAL THING THAT EFFECTS MY LIFE
i think youre right im gonna try to step back, maybe just hang out in cytube till i feel better.
Other “races” don’t need to have racial solidarity with us Cum Skins, its the other fucking way around. We gotta realize, even if we aren’t directly responsible with out own fucking hands, its not their job to support “white” people. Its the white’s duty to support them in their causes and liberation.
Any white who can’t handle the meager amount of criticism that is provided by you and this forum will fall in line with the fascists the moment they get pushback from libs. Just anti-communists in the making. Fuck them.
I haven’t seen anybody going at you so I’m sure I must have missed it. Every one of your posts and comments I’ve read I’ve found to be informative. Your perspective is cool and good and welcome, fuck the haters.
I can relate to that, some people here immediately turn into incredibly shitty giga libs when their privilege is being called out. As a white girl i lack firsthand experience with the racial side of that, so i’m not gonna judge how widespread that behavior is, but i know how various forms of reactionary liberalism go together and how super fucking fragile a few of the cishet dudes on here get when queer women dare to bring up their perspective in ways that question the role of straight men in the patriarchy. It’s not hard to imagine that they act the same way when confronted with their mayonaisity. As marginalized comrades, we’re only supposed to assure these libs that they are actual leftists completely innocent in systemic opression, not call out where they need to do self crit. It’s the usual shit where members of dominant society ask us for absolution instead of our honest opinion. I hope you stick around, i always enjoy reading your posts, i love that they make this site a little less painfully crackerish, and i think we just need to keep going and confront these people with uncomfortable truths, because this site is a place where that can actually gain traction and lead to people learning and improving.
thanks acidsmiley, i know youve sure as hell have been there. youre right, ive been working hard to decracker this place and i cant let the bastards get me down. i shall rest and recover and emerge stronger than ever.
Yep. Racists get out. Fuck white people doesn’t mean hate for individuals with white skin, it means hate for the society of racism that white people are in charge of. And even if is the first one, so fucking what? There’s no harm done by it. There’s no KKK or cops or Nazis enforcing black supremacy. It might be hurtful to hear “fuck white people” , but it isn’t harmful unlike white racism that gets people killed.
Dominant society always struggles to get that being systemically opressed isn’t the same as being bullied. Bullies who call them cracker or who want to guillotine all transphobes or who call for the immediate castration of all cishet men do not have the full force of a centuries-old system of violence that is seamlessly integrated into bourgeois rulership behind them to back us up. We’re just some person on the internet calling them names, names that have never been used in society-wide, decades-long campaigns of demonization, that have never been part of systematic ostracism from normal everyday life, that have never been used to drive campaigns of extermination against their kind, that do not have a lifetime of accumulating, society-wide, inescapable aggression and trauma behind them.
And they will never be able to understand that, because nothing they have experienced personally comes even close to that. Because their mere right to exist has never been called into doubt. You can tell them a thousand times “no, i’ve been bullied myself, discrimination is different” or “i’ve been attacked for a chosen identity like being a leftist or being vegan, and that’s gross and unfair, but it’s not the same as transphobia or racism because at least it’s a consequence of my actions and a part of a political struggle i’ve chosen to take a side in” or “i never had to fear for my life for being white, or for being German, or for being seen as a straight dude, these just aren’t marginalized indentities”, they never understand.
Because they’re fucking libs who have accepted the parts of liberalism that make it an inherently exclusionary, discriminatory, deeply violent system by pretending that it treats all humans as equals when it verifyably doesn’t. Liberal egalitarianism is a threat to my life, and to the lifes of all my black and brown comrades, and these fuckers go out of their way to prove me correct on this.
