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.

    I missed whatever happened earlier, but if anybody on this site has a problem with Fanon then they can fight me (and the same goes for George Jackson)

      it wasnt fanon they had a problem with it was me. i said that white people who weren't comrades were my enemy in reaction to libs calling for concentration camps. now im being compared to a nazi. the Fanon thing is because im in charge of posting the fanon threads in the theory comm. this sunday is the last one and I would never abscond my responsibility.. if not for me for fanon.

        That's an objectively correct position though, like materially, socially, spiritually, etc. James Cone said if God is white, we should kill him. He's right and so are you

        lowkey this is kinda how i feel about cis people, which is a far bigger group lmao

        cis liberals just like to keep trans people as pets. they dont want you to live life as you like it, they want you to be a martyr for their liberalism. they like bragging that you are their trans friend and love jerking off to the idea that theyre accepting while vehemently opposing anything that could materially benefit the trans community. this is just indirect violence with a smile.

        id even say i have a neutral to positive opinion of people that wont get in the way and are generally respectful, despite not giving a rats ass about putting their skin on the line. at least they know what theyre about and arent deceitful.

        honestly, kinda surprised there was any backlash to your sentiment at all. i was busy collecting grass seeds (yes i was literally touching grass) all day so i have no clue whats going on

          more on the grass seeds tho, im pretty hyped about it, i have been monitoring a lot of areas to see if anyone will mow / alter them in any way and no one has in months. gonna do some guerilla gardening and plant a ton of diverse wild grass seeds in areas near my apartment where i can keep an eye on them. might even try to get a permit from the fire department and state botany association to do a controlled burn on some of the public land that has a mono grass culture on it that is overgrown in order to get some of these somewhat endangered plants i identified a good home.

          What do these people oppose?

          Feels like improving your friend's life should supercede whatever notions they have, regardless.

            Its more just they nominally agree with things but refuse to actually change and question their beliefs or ideology after talking to them. it feels like im talking to a wall. they agree with something like 'healthcare for trans people' after a long talk explaining what that means. but then they seemingly completely forget that they ever said such a thing and never examined what that would require. its like they didnt care at all and were just humoring what i was saying.

            also its very frustrating to talk to someone about something repeatedly, have them agree many times, then just refuse to change any of their beliefs to accommodate what you both agreed on. then they turn around as using you as an example of being 'one of the good ones' that agrees with them or make transphobic jokes (one of these liberals prided themselves on their anti-racism but then immediately went around to making me-having-a-dick jokes after i revealed i was trans to them). they arent my friends anymore.
