i dont know, maybe im off base completely, but this is very reactionary, no? can someone in good faith argue something even remotely similar to this and be right?

    idk how to phrase this in a way that doesnt sound inherently fatalistic or accusatory but there's a portion of nonwhite communists or anarchists that aren't interested in organizing with white leftists or just other whites period and it just is what it is and this can only be shocking to you if you ignore the past 100 years of left organizing

      honestly thats why i posted it on here becuase as crazy as the takes were, i DO understand why they wouldn't be interested in organizing with white people, like completely. but then framing white homeless people as "settler colonizers" and saying you wouldn't give them yourmoney is really punching down and reactionary. it was a head scratcher.

            I think you and I are approaching this from similar standpoints actually, my point was that there's many ProBlack or nonwhite leftists that ultimately aren't interested in organizing with whites and the reaction in this thread stems mostly from primarily white/nonblack leftists that can't/are unwilling to grasp this
