holy shit, is this real or just a dream?

Oh no, not known sex pest, tea-partier and mask truther, Herman Cain!!!

the short answer is that people don’t like to think they are the bad guy so they don’t think they’re being racist is the short answer. They react defensively when you “insult” them by calling them racist from their pov.

The longer answer is that american culture is embedded with white supremacy, to the point where it’s not even immediately visible to white people to see how racist every single blood soaked part of the history and mechanics of this country is. People then justify their learned cultural racism as “everyone’s a little bit racist” or “but [stereotype] is true because [subjective experience]!” etc etc. There’s also the part where the libs did that fun little trick they did where they act like any past progress was amazing, great, should be celebrated (even though they hated it at the time) but it’s the maximum limit. So then you get the “but black people can vote/we had obama as president” like that solved structural racism. And of course there is 0 education on any sort of black history or issues in school so people literally just do not confront their racism and then get defensive when forced too.

Good question. I looked into it, they seem actually as of now, about as progressive in LGBT rights as Japan and better than most other Asian countries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Asia

Still not enough imho. Sidenote: pretty interesting that israel actually has the best gay rights in the region eh? Even though they’re doing hella imperialist colonizing and war crimes? really makes u thonk

I just want to be gay and dismantle the imperialist war machine, is that so much to ask for?

Yeah, that’s exactly it. My thoughts are that the western culture was accidentally forced into doing the right thing with gay rights when they can profit it off it (see: allowing gay marriage when it got popular, and putting on rainbows on all their products but still not paying for gender transitional care), and that equality has been mined to show how free we are. Just like with how MLK is celebrated in the US - streets named after him, it’s a holiday and so on - but then we still imprison black people by the millions and do nothing about police violence. Gay rights in a country seems to mostly just indicate the amount of gay rights and not much else. Obviously they are still very important! I’m gay nonbinary so i care pretty deeply about this lol.

Listen mack, things we do are good and things they do are bad even if they’re the same thing, get it through ur thick skull

i said both that China needs more LGBT rights and that Israel is doing war crimes, i’m not sure where you got “imperialism good” from my statement

literally just read 2 comments down fam, i explained how gay rights in capitalist countries are just the woke porky emoji and don’t indicate anything more than woke capitalism

Ah but you see the free market will provide the solution for all 30 million americans who have gone hungry in the last week - no need to give people food!
