(If you are out of the loop, that’s okay! Kyle Rittenhouse is a chud kid who is on trial for murdering two protesters and injuring another in Kenosha, Wisconsin in the aftermath of protests over a police shooting that paralyzed Jacob Blake, a black man. There is a lot of news about the case circling around right now because the trial is ongoing.)

      Oh I know, the only thing worse to a fascist/white supremacist than a non white person is a white person advocating on their behalf. We saw that in the 60s and John Brown. I'm just saying I probably wouldn't be gunned down at the scene, maybe just a few days later.

      Yeah. This is an issue of intersectionality. It's not like the Nazis were any more merciful to non-Jewish "Aryan" communists or dissidents they came across (if anything, they hated "traitors" just as much).

      Conversely, Fascists and chuds have shown plenty of willingness to adopt minority collaborators as their own, since they're upholding their own oppression for them. It's why many of them celebrated David Clarke, or are as obsessed with identity politics as they think "the Left" is. If Rittenhouse were black, and the cops showed enough restraint to not immediately shoot him because "black man gun bad", it's likely we would have seen similar results for this trial.
