You honestly shouldn't be allowed to post online until the age of like 25, imagine having all the dumb shit you said and did as a teenager tied to your name and immortalised for all to see
God, being a teenager now seems like it'd be horrible. So glad the cringiest stuff of mine was purged when obscure forums died off.
luckily i became a succdum at the same time I found reddit so I didnt have any cringe azz chud posting
now I deleted my reddit to hide any cringe azz succdem posting
Tbh when I was 17 I was probably feverishly defending "vote with your wallet"
Hey it's ok, everyone is cringe at some point. Just know that I'm cooler than you were at my age and I am also cooler than you now
all teenagers are fucking stupid and deserve to be dogpiled
12 year old says something dumb? oh well whatever i guess they should be stupid. but a SECOND PAST THEIR BIRTHDAY AND IT'S INTO THE DUNK TANK WITH THEM
At least my white guilt is channeled into useful things, like these posts
"May not want to interact with white people."
I mean I get the sentiment but: Yikes all the same.
working class needs to come together more than ever lately and i see "online-woke" shit like this?
good lord.
Proof that identity politics is a cancer and serves the purpose of dividing and conquering the left into an endless number of subgroups and divisions.
Ehhh, it's a bad take, but some of those replies are veering real close to stupidpol territory.
Sure, but some of the replies are overcorrecting and unironically saying shit like "Intersectionality is bad".
I wasn't mocking Star Wars itself, I'm a fan myself, it was because he shares the same name wi-
sigh
Nevermind.
I'm not coming to the defense of star wars. Just glass houses and stones
Proof that identity politics is a cancer and serves the purpose of dividing and conquering the left into an endless number of subgroups and divisions.
is the worst I can find, which, yeah isn't the best take in the world but I wouldn't necessarily assume they mean "intersectionality is bad and the only vector of oppression we should struggle against is class". I know that's how stupidpol uses it but some people aren't online enough to know that/use the rhetoric anyway. IT's kind of like how some people on twitter were calling out "working class" as a dogwhistle for white rural/suburbanites, because they'd only seen dogwhistling reactionaries use the term and were suspicious marxists were all dogwhistling reactionaries.
Absolutely understand if seeing that here could make you uncomfortable though.
Was that the one you were talking about or were there worse takes I missed?
I know that’s how stupidpol uses it
Honestly, I checked out stupidpol yesterday after another thread mentioned it, and there was nothing there resembling a class perspective on identity politics, literally just people whining about anti-white racism and trans people playing sports. You could switch out most stupidpol threats with the comment section of Joe Rogans’s YouTube and no one would notice.
"I'm gonna need a melanin count, particularly for biracials, because I need to, uhh... approximate the value of their tweets."
Just based on ppl's skin color? IDK I'm trying to fight for a society where ppl aren't using skin color to determine whether to interact with ppl or how to treat ppl.
I agree that race is more than skin color. When humans are born into this world we don't choose our skin color. But race is a construct foisted upon us without our consent to legitimize certain hierarchies, and to divide people who would otherwise find community with one another. Whom among us really chooses what race we are? Why should we cede soverignty over our own identity to a construct that uses it only for benign purposes. In the vision of utopia we are fighting for, why destroy the hierarchies but maintain the construct of race? What purposes does it serve that aren't malignant? Hearing that you would choose to hang out/not hang out with people just because of race also further convinces me it is a malignant construct, but because we are in disagreement i want to try to understand your thinking.
leftism is when you only think in terms of bodies and spaces, and the more you think in terms of bodies and spaces the more left it is
The hegemonic group doesn't mind either, so I'm glad everyone agrees.
I think it’s weird that so many of you seem triggered by this
Going straight here is :LIB: shit at best
More than anything it just seems like a useless gesture? I can't really comment on the notion of black-only/nonwhite spaces; I'm inclined to think that their benefits outweigh whatever issues they might pose to class solidarity across race but I haven't read anything on it. But Twitter is not really a platform that's conducive to carving out spaces like that. You kinda just have to deal with whatever mfs decide to get in your replies and mentions.
this isnt true btw its neither fine nor really a thing outside your weirdo circles
Solidarity is when you segregate by race, and the more that you segregate by race, the more solidarity you build!
