EM POC ONLY!!!

This is home for me.

I love all of my comrades on c/em_poc, but I wanna especially give a huge shoutout to @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net for doing a lot to help me keep my composure. I don't know if they quite realize how much I appreciate them!

Each and every single one of you makes me feel less alone through these struggles, though.

I hope all of you are well! sankara-bass

    I love how I'm seeing tons of white liberal women on social media constantly say "Kamala lost because of misogyny" while not bringing up white supremacy at all. It's strikingly funny to me how often they've avoided mentioning the racial aspect because they'd feel too complicit in contributing to not just Kamala's loss but the very racist institutions responsible for keeping POC oppressed themselves if they actually were to address these things.

    This reminds me of this comment of mine.

    I literally saw a post that showed Trump voter stats for race and gender, but they were completely separate, and white people and men as groups were roughly the same percentage, but this liberal white woman commented on the post, "Wow, men are not okay" or something to that effect. This is just reinforcing the theory that many Western white feminists do not care about ending oppression; they just want patriarchy to stop inconveniencing them personally. They'll side with white supremacy if given the chance.

    On top of that, all of these various scratched liberal moments have been excellent case studies on how little liberals care about oppression that doesn't personally impact them. Hell, they actually want to keep it flourishing! Any liberal who says otherwise is just doing the typical performative, bourgeois bullshit.

    And this isn't even me going into the obvious flaws of focusing so much on identity as the foremost reason why Kamala lost while neglecting a multitude of many other reasons.

      This is facts. And on that list number 23 is the dagger. They've been calling leftists the accelerationists yet the politicians they form weird parasocial relationships with accelerate the fuckery far more than any of us possibly could. What could be more accelerationist than deteriorating conditions and wages, exploitative healthcare, price gouging on prices not being addressed, pushing for catastrophic wars, worsening climatd collapse. If anything you could argue the "tankies" have been trying to save em from themselves. The politicians like biden etc who they have odd pet names for will herald their demise.
