Ngl it’s a real catch 22 situation for the mayos.

    It is almost like racism is a structure that can't be fully escaped from by just having the correct opinions

            My point is that doesn’t really seem to stop a lot of leftist from dragging “mayos” for moving to places.

            As a mayo myself, we can mostly ignore these people. This is a twitter take, nobody in an organization is gonna call you a gentrifier if you're participating in mutual aid and shit. If someone did call me a colonizer IRL, I'd be happy to discuss how the construction of the white race is detrimental to everyone and how economic decisions of the elite pit working class against each other.

                online stuff does leak into irl in subtle ways

                I think we underestimate how much online stuff leaks into the real world. Look at that post today (one of many similar posts) with some YouTuber shit written on a Ukranian shell.

                Think of how much time most people spend online. Think of how prevalent it is to share memes and such with real-life friends in group chats. Look at stuff like this. Look at all the merging of online media and traditional media (podcasts are a huge part of this). Do we really think most people wall all of that off from the rest of their brains?

        we say that but then turn around and give shit to individual white people

        Giving shit to individual people in a class is sort of a form of liberalism (so watch the "we" in that sentence ;) )

        Any white person who isn't a Maoist guerrilla (urban or rural, I don't mind) is a colonizing liberal.
