I see you out there. Posting. You should post here too. Why aren't you? Genuinely curious actually.

        This is what they're talking about.

        This is a hairs breadth away from "I'd vote for Obama a third time if I could"

        That "would if I could" is an awfully defeatist sentiment, isn't it? Wouldn't you rather think constructively of active steps you can take to improve the situation?

              Well given the dominant thought process of this instance, and the way comments are going, I thought it was obvious. But you asked and found out that way.

                You know, one day before you made your account, a three years' user of Hexbear made a post sincerely equating indigenous rights movements to anarcho-primitivism. So, clearly one cannot rely on people on a website with open registrations being fully aware of and well-read on racial issues, not even long-term users who up to that point had seemed to have consistently good and informed views.

                But even putting that aside, it's never a good idea to assume that sarcasm written in the same way as sincerity is obvious. Never ever ever. Sarcasm should always be distinguished in some way, through tone indicators or upside down smileys or trademark symbols or parentheses or nonstandard capitalization or even just recognizable phrases.

      Yeah, it's perfectly valid and fair to need some time away from people acting white as fuck sometimes, my soul needs some time away from my body whenever I catch myself acting white as fuck too

        100% real; sometimes you only catch it in hindsight and just "fuuuuuck..."

        Every morning is a process of killing the white man in your head
