        Guy that looks like the people he's representing, is actually a diversity hire. Go figure.

          Well in South Africa a similar tactic is used by rscists to complain about BEE (Black Economic Empowerment) and South Africa is 80% Black African.

          These people are so racist that they actually believe it's impossible for black people to hold positions of power, even in black majority cities and countries.

        DEI is going to lose its meaning much like woke has.

      doomer we're never getting socialism in the West™ at this rate. Culture war brainwashed morons control the discourse, political institutions, the media and most of the internet.

        I'm right there with you, but I just don't have it in me to stop. I will keep resisting and agitating until all of my friends hate me, join me, or I am dead. I can't function any other way.

        but it is very exhausting and doesn't really seem to be working here, yeah. It's going to be barbarism, huh?

          It's hard not to surrender to it, I keep trying but I can't help but desire to just move out of my country (I can't even afford it atm anyway)

            cw: trans slur

            To be completely honest if it is ever in the realm of possibility my plan is also to gtfo. I am several layers of priority target for these ongoing eugenics campaigns that are only accelerating in the West™️. No country wants disabled people, very few want the tr*nnies, but I have to believe I can thrive somewhere. It's just not happening in the US, and I don't want it to. I have no home here; the culture is toxic, hateful, it gives me no peace and it seeps into everything. Historically it doesn't really look good for people like me around this part of fascist development. As long as I'm here, though, even if it's forever, I'm not going out without giving them hell and doing what I can for the struggle and what little of my comrades in that struggle remain that I can cling to. There is no running from this...but in order to resist, I gotta stay alive.
