Remember, EM POC only!

Sleepy as hell again, comrades, but I might as well get this posted up before I go ahead and rest.

That aside, let's get those weekly EM POC vibes going!

    great point. had some time to think abt this:

    • every action has a level of validity so it, depending on your moral values. helping someone out is very valid, so is fighting back when bullied
    • wishing bad consequences on ppl may not sound like the right or ""correct"" thing to do, but as an expression of your emotions - sympathy, empathy, trauma, etc. - it is a very valid thing to do and should be welcomed
      • and not recognizing that validity - for example, sites that condemn "death to [...]", "violence against [...] is justified", etc. - tends to come from a privileged, white cis hetero perspective of what are and aren't valid emotions. quite a few lemmygrad.ml users and the lemmygrad.ml mod to me are engaging in this
    • so wishing COVID on someone is valid as a way to say "fuck you" to ppl who not only don't recognise the harmful consequences of COVID-minimalism but risk spreading COVID and its harmful consequences to other ppl
      • also i don't think wishing COVID can really be considered an actual threat because how tf can i give you COVID through a computer screen lol

      Why I said fuck it and made a clean break of it moving my account here. Hexbear might be a lot more shitposty and considered less serious as a result; but at least I don't see the same hypocritical actions here as I did there. If "serious" all of a sudden started meaning "hypocritical when it suits", then I don't want it. I'd rather fw shitposters than people who have all this supposed energy against optic politicking only to weaponize optics politics the minute someone they like is getting called to the front of the room. Idk. I have zero faith in lemmygrad anymore and I pray to every divinity with space on my altar those petri dish defenders aren't a part of the local IRL formations I organize with.

      They might get the whole org put up in a hospital wing otherwise. And while I'm thinking about it, I'm gonna address all the settler shitheads smugging in that thread like "you wouldn't say that shit to me IRL" "I got ten bucks you wouldn't"-- yes the fuck I would. Yes the fuck I would, I have been telling you western "leftists" for the last year I only consider maybe FIVE PERCENT of you peckerwood motherfuckers on any kind of motion AND SOMEHOW THESE CRACKERS THINK I WOULDN'T????

      Trick please, I'll walk a cracker down in the middle of the road if Ion't claim them. Nothing I hate more than smug-assed crackers.

        You were absolutely correct and I'm sorry y'all got hit so hard by covid. People don't want to face how lucky they are if they haven't gotten some horrible new health condition from covid of acknowledge that it could happen to them

          And like that, you landed on exactly why I said what I did. Because I know, full well that the settlers with their noses up about this matter never have.

          They haven't had their respiratory function cut by a third of its former efficiency. They haven't had their immune systems so wracked by this bullshit that so much as thinking about going to the grocer could give them a cold. They haven't had to live through only working for five hours of what used to be a ten to twelve hour work day and then getting absolutely doubled over by rapid-onset brainfog as a daily event. And maybe if they had to deal with a case that severe, they'd finally get it. I sure as shit did!

          But no, can't tell a settler-leftist what he needs to hear, otherwise you're the villain, especially when you're not white. I know what I'll do; I'll pay Matt Christman or Hasan Piker or some other treatbrain streamer to relay my words to them; that seems to be the only fuckin way they listen to shit.
