full event video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnnKXuYcDU0
The event had celebrity guests such as Mark Hamill, Josh Groban, Bradley Whitford, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sean Astin, Paul Scheer, Jeff Bridges, J.J. Abrams, maybe more
Politicians who participated were Pete Buttigieg, Roy Cooper, JB Pritzer, and Tim Walz.
They had a twitter account but it is mysteriously banned.
“Throughout American history, when white men organized, it was often with pointy hats on,” said Rocketto before he added how proud he was of this group of white men, who he said are too rarely heard from.
Actor Jeff Bridges, who played "The Dude" in the cult classic "The Big Lebowski," was excited when he heard about the gathering of his fellow white dudes.
“I qualify, man! I’m white, I’m a dude, and I’m for Harris,” Bridges said. “A woman president, man, how exciting!”
The entire article is distilled cringe.
Two weeks ago they were all for white male war criminal, now they are all for black female war criminal.
Then they will call you "single issue voters"
how proud he was of this group of white men, who he said are too rarely heard from.
Yeah damn never hear enough from white men and white male celebrities

Fucking libs. Yeah, as a white man you can be a member of the Klan or do nothing except have 'the right opinions' of being slightly to the left of the Klan.
Naturally dividing the working class along racial lines is bullshit, but if you're gonna take that tack, then how about general strikes, worker rebellions, anti-fascist actions at home and abroad, fucking John Brown?

Unions: am I a joke to you?
I have and I agree with it.
My point isn't that a uniquely white proletariat is either a) real b) a radical force or c) not a labour aristocracy. I was venting my frustration that the white liberal sees two options and only two options: actively supporting the Klan or not. And that simply not doing the former is adequate is somehow noble and worth self-congratulation.
I suppose I should have written it in a less 'by your logic' way and been clearer.
I need to finish it myself. I packed it for a day trip Saturday and can't seem to find it this morning.
I have, and I'm not even white or American; I have no dog in this fight, and I certainly don't put my hopes for revolutionary potential on the imperial core proletariat. My only point is that saying the only time white men have organized to effect social change in us history was the kkk is intellectually dishonest to say the least.
“Throughout American history, when white men organized, it was often with pointy hats on,”
I know they mean klan robes, but the first thing that popped to mind was lawn gnome style hats.
what America actually means
What does mean? Genocide? Forever wars? Fascist empire?

what's with this weird whites-only thing they have going. seems off-putting.
strangely, every black person they approached hightailed it in the opposite direction
I joined the stream briefly for the jokes, they did have a black guy on it from the Working Families Party
They had "Black Women for Harris" and "Black Men for Harris" calls last week. (I heard about it on CounterPoints. Edit - pretty sure it was this one, certain it was one of the shows from yesterday.)

once again, thanking all White Men for saving our democracy this year🙏🏻
Embarrassed to say I got a text for this. Fuck you for selling these people my info, Bernie.
To be clear, I posted this in the dunk tank because I saw some clips from it and it was giving "white savior" vibes. I don't think that they're betas or whatever Fox News is saying. I was given the impression from clips that they think being a white dude means that they know what is best for everyone.
Oh yeah I just thought it was funny, I do not endorse Fox or using alpha/beta unironically lol
Sorry but these white dudes just voted for Trump by not voting for Biden.
I’m not bothered by this, but it’s funny that they’re using the trucker hat aesthetic when you know it’s 95% white dudes from the nyc metro and bay areas.
Also, presenting it as a word-of-mouth movement when it’s clearly for keeping the pile of gold the consultants sleep on flush, very cool.
Cringe things aside, the pure unadulterated racism the conservantes are doing in response to this is just wild.
Conservatives somehow always manage to be the most unhinged party, regardless of the company
$4 million is kinda embarrassing considering white dude earning privilege
Can't possibly dip into that intergenerational wealth. They earned it.
I saw Harris got something like $83M in one day last week? And now this gets $4M?? There has to be some laundering happening, right?
oh yeah, I had to listen to this. I know a "white dude for harris", and he was playing it quite loud.
