The irony is their obsession with domination is killing the planet, and in turn will worsen their chances of survival.
I hate how they are dragging us all down with them
I fucking give up on these idiots. Too dumb to live.
The ukraine war makes me question if we live in the same reality sometimes. There's something so existentially horrifying about thousands of people pointlessly dying fighting over some village with 5000 residents in the middle of a bombed out wasteland and this just repeats month after month, but half the people around me talk abut it like it's an exciting sports game.
Its doubly fucked when you live in cities that are just like theirs,and your grandparents live in villages just like those
And then you move away from the border,and into the capital,and it's like you stepped into another reality,no alarms at night,no jets flying overhead,it's like the war is something on tv again (Not Ukrainian,but I live on the border with them)
There's something so existentially horrifying about thousands of people pointlessly dying fighting over some village with 5000
Well if it makes you feel better this isnt what they're fighting for. Russia is systemically dismantling the Ukrainian proxy state and removing US influence from the region. Weakening NATO as a whole. The world will be better at the end of it.
To the person who reported this thread because hmm it might make whitey feel bad, go look at ALL THE RACIST SHIT that is posted in dunk and dredj tank today for some reason and then go shut the fuck up for a while thanks
Just replace “cis white” with “muslim” and it’d be a top post on reddit
um, excuse me, but as a white man, this makes me feel empathy
UNACCEPTABLE!
Aaaand this is why I always go for an over the top title with these things, it weeds out the reactionaries (but also sorry for making your job harder)
One time I reported a badpost because I liked the song that they posted hoping to get called out like this but the mod didn't bite.
I went to argue with you as a cis white but i fat-fingered the ppb button instead and owned myself
Yeah, I think that was our comrade making a carve-out for themselves, as often happens with these kinds of posts.
My point wasn't that we need a more hardline position on the eradication of white people (as some in this thread express), my point was that this misanthropic bullshit is just a way of finding a convenient "out" for problems.
Oh yeah the "I'm white and think we're all* trash" bit from this site like never comes from someone that actually cares about unlearning racism, it's purely performative but a performance for other whites who also think the discussion about racism should center white feelings
I have only been here two months but it seems that performative self-flagellation is popular here
Marginalized mayos are still mayos in the end. A "normal" (cishet, NT, not disabled) POC is still overall better than some cracker of a marginalized identity (queer, ND, disabled). Let's be honest.
Not just cis whites, I got driven out of a Discord that was like 1/3 trans for saying that I wouldn't vote for the Democrats because they support genocide. I talked about this previously, but I've had similar experiences since then among people who were otherwise strongly left-leaning.
If you live in the imperial core, there is no faster or surer way to make an enemy of everyone around you than to stand by your conviction that those in the periphery are human.
Kind of your L here for being so focused on voting in bourgeois elections.
I'm not the one who's focused on it. Other people keep bringing it up. I just give my honest take when the subject arises.
Maybe I shouldn't think this way, but if all cis whites had to die (me with them), I wouldn't be that upset
Just imagine what it would do for the climate apocalypse and Global South if all cis whites died though. If it had real shot of happening I'd probably advocate for it.
Comrade this is a very misanthropic view. Many many cis whites are perfectly fine, delightful people, just with incredibly deeply bored brain worms.
Were you not once a liberal? If not you are in a lucky minority.
These people don't need to die they need to be reeducated. We are steadily making progress despite the resistance of the fiercest most well resourced reactionaries.
Look at the campus protests, how many of those people were cis whites?
It's a throw away comment, and not something I'd genuinely advocate for.
Edit: yes I used to be a huge liberal.
I know you wouldn't advocate for that seriously but you seemed down so I was hoping to cheer you up
Nah I'm good, but thank you comrade. I'm far from a perfect white ally or anything, but I've just been so damn disappointed with nearly all white people in my life, with the exception of hexbear. Thanks for looking out for me.
It's also deeply non-materialist. There is nothing inherent to one's skin tone or gender identity in terms of ideology, no one is born a imperialist. The reason most people in the global north support the current world order is because they are it's beneficiaries. That order is not going to change just because the racial or gender identity of those in charge or making up the empire changes. New cultural identities will form to justify the global capitalist-imperialist system in such a scenario. These ideologies adapt and change to suit what is required by the global capitalist system, and not the other way around. Look at the history of Liberia for example, where freed African American and Afro Caribbean people proceeded to form their own cultural identity and colonised a part of Africa. Communitarian ideologies based around race or gender identity cannot be a substitute for the absence of a socialist ideology in the working class. This is true for even the most radical of communities.
Thanos snapping white people from existence would just mean Japan is the new center of capital. The imperial core would still exist and most of the subimperialist parts like the UAE would just get "promoted" to imperialist.
Yeah as a fellow straight person of low melanin content I'm with you on this. Like it'd be better if the death was means tested not skin/sexuality based but pretty sure unlimited genocide on the white cissys would probably be a net benefit too good to say no to even if it takes a few good people with the bad.
Genocide of any kind would be bad, and the system would just be taken over by POC imperialists because nothing about the system itself changed. There would be a bit of a crisis, yeah, but I think Kamala would come out on top and set everything straight. The thing about whiteness being an artificial category made for the perpetuation of the bourgeois state is that there is no essentially "white" person and nothing that intrinsically separates them, as a bloc, from POC.
This is just the wrong way to look at the issue.
I don't know if crabs in a bucket mentality is the right term or what, but the sentiment of ”I'm willing to let everyone else suffer so I don't have to compromise even the littlest bit on my treats” is disgustingly strong.
like ButtBidet, I'm down for vanishing from the world to save it from the rest of our kind
Down With Cis
I've felt this way since I was like...12. Do not trust them one bit.
They are the vanguard of capitalism and imperialism because it benefits them the most.
