Remember, EM POC only!

I finally got my internet back. It took them fucking long enough. I guess this means that I'm finally away from all of the outages that Milton gave me.

I'm still overall pissed off about... everything else that made this hurricane suck, but I'll try to do positive vibes right now.

That aside, good day to all of my EM POC comrades!

    i feel like every time racism is brought up on hexbear it's some arcane instance of it, almost as if the entire concept of racism is reduced to some trope.

    I don't know, just don't feel like it's discussed in a real manner, i can't seem to relate most of the times the topic comes up

        That thread about the topic of Trump chuddery boiling down to racial resentment didn’t really sit well with me.

          Honestly, and I may be wrong, a lot (and by that I mean probably most )of people who leave the left, dirtbag or nazbol stupidpol types seem to come from people that have racial or lgbt animus. I just say this because if someone cracks on here thats most likely gonna be the reason. I ain't saying its gonna be one of em but a lot of times its at the root. Intersectional things end up being the breaking point.

    having a crush on someone when you know it won’t work out is awful.

      I relate, but it's a relief when you do eventually move on. A few months ago, I couldn't stop thinking about the coworker I mention in this comment, and now, I'm like "She's all cool and good, but we can't be together, and that's okay." She's not vegan, and I only date vegans, so oftentimes, I can just alleviate the pain of a crush I don't want if the person I'm crushing on is non-vegan. Reminding myself of their carnism will really turn me off with enough focus. She does seem like she has a "vegan heart," in that she gives off the vibe that she wouldn't be difficult to convince in theory, but yeah, you could never know for sure with this kind of stuff.

        Maybe unrelated but this is how I feel about the word 'removedy'. Someone found it used to be a racialized term and others caught on that they should modify their language. Except colloquially, this term is more attributed to horror and lost the original dictionary definition(if there was one). Meanwhile, I bet these people have no problem calling something ghetto, a term more modernly racialized.

          I love how I was able to use my galaxy brain to fill in the removed with enough thought.

            Holy crap, I didn't even know it was part of the banned word list here. Kind of proves my point

        here's the thing, their "correction" in that example is wrong.
        Article 1 of ILO Convention No. 169 contains a statement of coverage rather than a definition, indicating that the Convention applies to: “a) tribal peoples in independent countries whose social, cultural and economic conditions distinguish them from other sections of the national community and whose status is regulated wholly or partially by their own customs or traditions or by special laws or regulations; “b) peoples in independent countries who are regarded as indigenous on account of their descent from the populations which inhabited the country, or a geographical region to which the country belongs, at the time of conquest or colonization or the establishment of present state boundaries and who irrespective of their legal status, retain some or all of their own social, economic, cultural and political institutions.”

          Absolutely, this "scholar" was committing an equivocation fallacy by taking a comment that refers to Indigenous people in a sociopolitical sense and responding in a way that uses the term in a more generic, often biological sense, e.g., "Pandas are indigenous to China."

      Chances this guy learns from his mistake, realizes he was being a weapons grade piece of shit, and that that’s bad instead of blaming woke?

    stressors, misery though I'm working on it somewhat and reaching out for help IRL

    Is it a recurring migraine, an aneurysm, a nocebo, or the weight of racism and the collapsing empire, financial stressors and dysphoria/dysmorphia/depression?

    Hell if I know

    What does EM stand for? I'm sorry you've been affected by Milton. Glad you got your internet back. I hope you're able to get nice and cozy where you're at.
