      I don't get the point of your comment. Whiteness being a made up construct doesn't mean you can't talk about white people as a general entity, especially when that construct plays a huge role in society. And ethnicities are just as much social constructs as race

      I don't agree with OP, I feel like they're being edgy just for the sake of being edgy, but even though race is technically bullshit that doesn't mean we get to dismiss the fact being white actually matters and means something, changes the way you're treated in society, etc.

              You said white then you said Anglo. You understand they are different right?

              White isn't a race, it is a social class. We add or remove people from it as we see fit. We are going to start adding Mexicans to it so we can destroy their identity and pay them to oppress other groups. Just like we did to the Japanese or the Irish.

                    If you are okay with indirectly legitimizing the very racial hatred you are making an ironic parody of, keep at it.

                    It reminds me of the libs ironically implying their political rivals are 'gay' as a way to insult them. "Because they'd be uncomfortable with it".

                    They never fucking listened to me on that being wrong, either.

                      Calling trump gay to own him because being gay is bad. That is bad. That requires being gay to be bad. Which is not true.

                      Calling whiteness bad is not the same because whiteness is bad. Whiteness is a tool of capturing power and resources and it destroys other modes of thought. So by posting how whiteness a disease we are affirming those points. Clearly all posting is ultimately meaningless. However considering whiteness to be a paracitic psychic disease is at least correct. I fail to see how acknowledging it's existence empowers it. Of course it exists, we constructed it.

                        Whiteness is a social class. Why engage with it on racial terms? That is my hang up. It makes no sense to me.

                        When someone talks about genocide on whites, they are racializing a conversation. Talking about sterilization undeniably invokes racial context. To what end? It would seem to negate your point.

                        It’s very uncommon to say “genocide the rich” or “genocide the straights”.

                        Whiteness as an unjust social order can be attacked without racial irony. I would think making it racial would, in fact, defeat the point of it being a parasitic social relationship.

                          They don't have to be. Like, look at thr Irish specifically. They weren't white. Then we changed and and now they are. However there is still a memory of having a culture and lots of white people yern for it. That is why Irish kitch is a thing. Their souls yearn to escape whiteness. However, their ancestors gave up their culture to be white to get money to be part of the proper working classes of America.

                          The same guy that couldn't find Ireland on a map is just as susceptible to positive and negative anti-white propaganda. That little white voice in your head telling you to defend whiteness even here on thisnwebsite is a liar.

                            Condescending insinuations aside, just to be clear - what you are advocating is stronger ethnic identities over racial divides? As in, "I'm not white, I'm Irish/Swedish/German/Slavic" etc. I struggle to see how that would help foster class solidarity. Europe was torn apart by wars ostensibly fought over meaningless ethno-linguistic divides for centuries. Disagree with that point all you want, but dismissing it as "defending whiteness" is condescending (not to mention - abysmal optics, should you ever care about converting libs to the cause).

                              Realistically it wouldn't. It could be an improvement overall to general awareness of material conditions. Like, picture if every random two trucks fucking white person or disney adult could have some other set of thoughts. Instead of product consumption they might have thoughts of community and old ways. They would have people they had kinship with. All those would be Chances to break out of the American™️ mindset. You couldn't mace a homeless person if you had Irish hospitality you know. But it would help them not identify as white so it would keep them father away from from the white vs black narrative that divides us.

                              But my friend all the old little wars were fought by people with thr same ethnic identity. For the most part anyway. WW1? That was family drama. Diplomats tried to stop the fighting at family reunions of the nobility. All that was only ever fake and used to rule by the nobility. The bits that weren't were a technology of survival for poor people. Which does bear cinsidering.

                              I have zero intention of converting liberals on this website. I am not going to conform to liberal approved posting in this our ML safespace.

            1. Racism is a fascist belief.

            2. Countering a racist society with 'ironic' and insincere racism that doesn't contain real hatred is engaging with a fascist belief - even if from the opposite direction.

                        I specifically have a problem with the ironic shitflinging like 'mayocide now', 'I hate whites'.

                        I understand that whites are not a race. I understand it's not coming from a place of real hatred.

                        But that that sort of discourse is specifically meant to be an ironic version of racism, and that shit bothers me. Racism is so horrible even an ironic version of it is legitimizing the underlying ideology.

                        Discussion of racial issues such as they appear in a society dominated by racial ideologies is 100% kosher, and necessary to cope with an attack upon a racialized group of innocent people. In an ideal world none of that would be necessary, but this isn't an ideal world. It's a hateful, horrible one full of bigoted racists.

                            It’s partly an emotional reaction. When we are joking about genociding a group or sterilizing them, I have a visceral reaction like I’m reading a fascist website. The emotional side of me just doesn’t understand why we even want to talk like that. It’s horrific.

                            It’s also logical in part - engaging in that sort of speech implies that such things are acceptable or things to be joked about. That sort of suffering deserves respect from leftists. Would you joke about white genocide with a holocaust survivor?

                            Further it implies races are things to be divided up and are real on some level.

                            Personally I’m gay. I don’t engage in hating straight people.

                            I focus my hatred on bigots. I focus my hatred on conservatives.

                            Ultimately, I agree the harm is not that great. I’m not reporting comments or asking for that speech to be banned. But it’s not a viewpoint I have seen expressed before and I felt the need to share it.

                    I’m saying race theory as dividing people into arbitrary groups is wrong.

                    Races don’t exist - the very concept was invented by extremely bigoted and racist people to justify colonial oppression of innocent people.

                    Playing into racial divisions, even ironically is just something the left should refrain from. It legitimizes and reinforces that ideology.

                    Mind you, I DO think discussion of racial disparity is necessary and good In a society full of racists. I’m just attacking racially charged antagonism e.g “genocide the whites” or “sterilize whitey”. Whites may not be a race, but that sort of talk IS racially charged and contextualized.

                    Even coming from a place of irony, there is no reason to go there.

              Racism is a fascist belief.

              No, it is not lmao. Racism predated fascism by centuries. It is reactionary, but not fascist. Not all reactionary beliefs are fascist. Fascism is a particularly form of reaction that arose out of imperialist capitalism's attempt to crush labor while racism has largely been part of capitalism since the beginning, if not earlier.

              Countering a racist society with ‘ironic’ and insincere racism that doesn’t contain real hatred is engaging with a fascist belief - even if from the opposite direction.

              Racism has absolutely nothing to do with hatred, but with a particular ethnic group, (in the context of this thread, people of European descent) holding hegemonic power over everyone else. With this understanding, we can see how "combating hate" doesn't actually do anything because hatred is an ephemeral emotion, not a system of dominance. The white supremacist society must be dismantled regardless whether or not the people who hold power (ie white people) hate everyone else. If anything, the hatred of this white supremacist society, expressed vulgarly as "fuck whitey," can be harnessed towards its destruction with the understanding that as the struggle progresses, "fuck whitey" gets refined into "fuck this white supremacist power structure."

              Without hatred, you are wrestling in the mud with fascists. They love that shit. Just kill them instead.

              Nobody here is wrestling in the mud with fascists. What the fuck does that even mean? Actual fascists just get banned.
