It's okay to kill nazis, terfs, racists, chuds, slave owners, and yt ppl.
Ten minutes to ban. We love our beautiful mods and admins, don't we folks?
How the fuck do they work so hard? I hope they're automating this shit.
We're civility fetish liberals round these parts and don't take kindly to this.
I get that it's a bit and all, but I'm white and my great grandfather was a jew killed in a Nazi concentration camp, and it doesn't really vibe with me when internet randos call me a Nazi because of immutable characteristics of my birth
Yeah my bad, I have a habit of only thinking of it as self deprecating humor but you're right it's got some really :cringe: implications
I feel it, there are a lot of really fucking cringe white people. I'm not personally hurt by it but I wanna look out for our more sensitive comrades or potential comrades who might have been born into racial privilege but are still game to :gui-better: some :capitalist:
They've done a lot of studies and it's pretty clearly a moral failing at this point.
It's okay to be Polish. It's okay to be German. It's okay to be Irish. It's even okay to be Italian.
But it is not okay to be White.
Im gonna put up a counterpoint here. Americans should not be identifying themselves according to what European country their ancestors supposedly came from (unless they arrived within the last couple of generations) because they have no real connection to the culture and it is, therefore, extremely cringe.
"Yea I'm Irish, Scottish, German, a little bit of Cherokee....", NO. No, you are not. shut the fuck up
This is so.
Almost all of the newspapers in different languages of European immigrants have been gone for the better part of a century. If you don't speak the language, and aren't in contact with your relatives in the "home country", and if your ethnic community doesn't really have barriers, you're just American.
Ethnicities aren't primordial axioms; they emerge as people live together. After 150-400 years of living together, depending on how you're measuring, the ethnogenesis of "American" is certainly complete.
I'm not sure if I want to go so far as to say that it's completely okay to be American though.
"Yeah, that's right, I identify as honky-american."
:vomit-barf-puke:
Believe it or not, this is a thing that people respond to surveys with: not having any sense of which settlers were in one's ancestry.

yeah i'm not going to break down what strains of white are in my genes, it's completely irrelevant to my upbringing
That's a surprisingly honest thing for someone to admit. Couple assholes I work with are like "yeah im irish" and don't know shit about irish culture.
My point is that having an ethnicity that encompasses an entire range of skin colors is stupid and is a terrible way to categorize people (aside from in dermatology).
No one should feel a group identity towards "white people", and anyone who does this is bad.
It’s okay to kill nazis, terfs, racists, chuds, and slave owners.
edit: thought "yt people" meant "youtube people" at first and I was like "that's a little harsh there's some good ones" then realized they meant "ywhite" lol
:kropotkin-shining: :lenin-pensive: :rosa-salute: :parenti: :snowden:
This is not a rank list, I just typed out good white ppl as I saw them in the emoji sicko shoppe
:thinky-felix: :amber: :matt: :will-fancy: :virgil-bb:
damn checks out
Look the Young Turks aren't as far left as many of us would like, but they were a pipeline for many of us too.
Lol some of the weirdo class reductionists on this site think these are vital white working class demographics we need to start catering to more and enjoy dunking on liberals, but not chuds. If you’re reading this and hold those beliefs, you ain’t left
