    Weird, I’ve never seen shit like this on that sub. It’s politics are typically pretty good besides the occasional sectarian dunk.

      That genzedong subreddit has always been bad like this. I was excited to find another user from Africa there, and then they started going on about "anti white racism" and yeah...

      This was months ago and I've not visited since

        The anti white racism in sa shit is all over Reddit, it’s out of control. If anyone mentions South Africa for any reason any where on Reddit at least one Redditor will show up like “too bad they’re just straight killing white people and taking their farms over there ⬆️4.6k”

        I mean the average poster there is what, 14? Not a valid excuse but definitely a plausible explanation.

          Nah this guy was complaining about how he "couldn't date local women without being judged because he's the only white person there" which immediately set off my nonce and sexpat radar. Just disgusting

            Big ole yike

            I hate to admit that this comes from personal exp, but that could just as easily be someone who looks up to older people and takes their wisdom as gospel. Very glad that behavior is behind me.

          i really don't think it is, but it definitely feels that way sometimes. a lot of people there are allergic to theory and just think china = good; us = bad; so they base their takes around that instead of an ounce of Marxism. that way you get dogshit takes like the sub celebrating that the Chinese justice system sentenced a foreigner drug trafficker to death. like for real guys?

                  You know, acab, but fair.

                  I have never seen a person have a healthy relationship with meth and whatever this man was doing wasn't gonna end up with that

            Makes sense. That kind of go s with what I was saying though: most of the posters are gen z (ostensibly), so even if the average age is more like 18, they don't have the life experience to develop the nuance in their worldview.

            Like, this board largely (and correctly) thinks china = good; us = bad, but the belief is much deeper than merely that, so we can deviate from it where is violates our deeper reasoning.

            It is a good rule of thumb. Yeah they got boomers there and stuff but them not being in a gentrocratic death cult kinda minimizes the number of times shit like that comes up.

        That’s weird, usually any mentions of anti white racism in genzedong are followed up by “good”

          This was during a big struggle session a few months ago so I haven't checked it since then. It could have improved by now

        Eh now that I mod I kind of get it. Unless you’re camping out it takes a while to catch stuff. Also, if you’re camping out then you probably have way too much invested in a fake internet job lol

          Brave of you to base your theory around the idea of spending one's life performing emotional labor for the people that cause problems instead of fixing the problems.

              That is just pushing it up a level. Appeasment is one of the oldest of jokes.

              Fair though, I didn't mean to come at you hot. Sorry. Still got twitter brain.

              For most people they turn to white nationaliem out of alienatoion same as we feel. So fixing things would do the lions share of the work in breaking the chain there. For those that are into it for the liberal reaons, regular therepy might help, but the loss off the community would be the biggest step towards help them out of it.

              At least, that's the proper theory. I can't saw for sure it will hold up since we havent tried making things better in a while.
