... courage and time to do so.
Thanks for being a communist.
Sending you all Valentines in 2 weeks.
A note to folks in this thread:
It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.
It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.
I think people here are predominantly the former and not the later. The later is just rank liberalism. Important distiction though

Ah but have you considered that I want to self deprecate in a way that aligns with my political values?
Hating yourself for being white aligns with your political values?
Did I miss something in State and Revolution?
I read settlers and Bscklash and now i wwnt to put a bullet in my head and one in ebery other white /s /uj /j /us /gen
It's terrible because if I wanted to be something other than white all the things I might have felt any associated with are claimed by white supremacy. Like, damn. Which is worse being proud white or proud of you british ancestry?
That's not entirely true. There's a lot of folk and other culture that's solidly left wing and associated with the working classes. It's just mostly more english/welsh/cornish/scottish than british specifically.
Even then if you want to enjoy 19th century sea shanties it's fine, there are people to be proud of if you look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.
look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.
Cant find anything about this on Google. Just fictional stuff like Star Wars and Warhammer. Can you drop a link or something?

They weren't particularly effective and they didn't get anywhere near enough support, but they were enthusiastic and the Kru People were also major participants, as were many released or escaped slaves. It just makes me feel good, thinking about Master and Commander, but they're hunting down slavers and not French Revolutionaries.
I've been trying to deprogram the whiteness out of myself. Like I resent the fucking concept of whiteness and what it has done to me personally and the world generally. Fuck racists for thinking I share any common bond with them based on some phrenology-ass category.
Maybe it sounds weird, but I've found it helps to focus on my actual ethnic "heritage".
That meme where it’s a woman labeled “cracker” shouting “cracker” daggers at a man labeled “cracker”
I have to wonder why "crackers" is printed on the bottom right 3 times
By my estimations there are 7 white people on here and I'm 2 of them.
The only thing better than the self-loathing cracker posting is the imminent threads by Posters of Color being absolutely weirded out by the self-flagellation of the self-loathing cracker posting. Tide goes in, tide goes out. Happens everytime.
I don't see this as black or white. All I see is red.
SOVIET ANTHEM INTENSIFIES
I don't see this as black or white. All I see is red.
Doom theme
Whites making everything about themselves, even mayocide.. smh my head
I'm a communist because the only way I'm ever going to see Europe is if I'm forcibly deported there.
As a white person we don't deserve the amount of hate we get.
We deserve more.
Hahaha fuck you! By the virtue of being Polish I'm the Schrodinger's White™! I'm white or not white depending on the mood fascists have! So most probably both at the same time! :sicko-yes:
Gonna top you.
I'm Iranian (American), so I'm more Aryan than all the fascists but somehow the filthy anglo Germanic creatures want me dead anyway
Jontron pleading that he's actually white as he's put in the gas chamber.
Look, King of Racists HP Lovecraft was racist against Poles so I feel comfortable saying y'all are POC and should fight on our side once the race war starts.
The Dutch were too non-white for him. I’ve seen the Welsh thing from other contemporary sources, but Lovecraft was Franklin levels of WASP only (who complained about the swarthy Swedes and Germans).
Somehow one of the only major founding fathers to not own slaves was actually on a higher tier of racism than the slave owning ones.
I'm glad my grandpa moved to America. That dude helped the allies in WWII. Needless to say, he likely wouldn't have been welcomed back, considering Poland's politics today.
Allies? The only group to have WMD on civilians? A little sus
we deserve love but only if we reject the ""European"" construct of whiteness and embrace the fact that we're northwest Asian
crackers when we internalize the fact we don't actually have our own continent:
our big beautiful comrades swooping in to cradle us in the embrace of love anyway:
Indians were jealous and decided to drive their plate straight into the Big beautiful Eurasian plate. But we welcome them to them as new members despite this.
the alternative was to stay huddled next to antarctica
it's an easy choice
doing the "we're all one race, the human race" thing but with the fact that tectonics-wise it's all just Afro-Eurasia
i feel like this was obviously a joke. if not, i want to clarify that i am not actually giving a shoutout to white people
you do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to white people
Many people have, historically, had to hand it to white people. That's the problem.
I mean... yeah.. you do... is not like we're gonna get up and do it ourselves, that's what the "help" is for...
I just fucking bought some of these, ain't gotta call me out like this.
honestly they slap and i will not be silenced. maybe it's because they're like manna when you're sick and can't keep anything else down
Im really weird because i like to eat them with (cw: dairy)
My grandma was always weirded out by this and said "i can get you some cheese you know? But i prefer Saltines with milk. Other crackers are good with cheese. spoiler
I consumed so fucking many of these when I was a kid. I am one with the cracker, I sweat cheap salt and get big ouchie ouchies from the sun
