Angel [any]

Forty days and nights I've spent alone

The shadow hungry Angel inside of me grows cold

Bloodshed on my mind

A slave to these walls

Get away from the life sucking call

Set me free

    On Instagram, in regards to Sarah McBride being a reactionary, Zionist piece of libshit, I stated

    Reminder that a white person being a part of a marginalized group does NOT absolve them of their whiteness and KKKolonizer mentality

    Fittingly enough, a white trans woman responded, "People who unironically use Maoist Standard English need to be studied."

    I didn't even put up with it; I just straight-up blocked.

    It's pretty obvious what's going on here. Trans cracKKKer is upset that my very real and true statement struck a nerve, but SShe has no way of responding without taking the mask off and putting the hood on, so what SShe did instead was poke fun at me for using MSE. Basically, it's an ad hominem SShe used to KKKompenSSate for her being a SSalty KKKraKKKKKKer.

    What's even more telling about this is that MSE intends to sprinkle humor into statements regardless, but usage of it obviously doesn't lessen the accuracy of what I'm saying.

    I 100% agree with you because mainstream feminism is extremely liberal, non-intersectional, bioessentialist, and effectively amounts to "reactionary thought and white supremacy in heels" more than anything else.

    I may never label myself as a feminist again, but I take no shame and nothing but pride in calling myself a womanist.

    Even for forms of bigotry not directly related to race, marginalized white people in leftist spaces seem to seriously have far less skepticism than I do as an intersectional black person in leftist spaces.

    For instance, as a black trans person, not only do I expect white people in leftist spaces to have racist brainworms, but I expect cis people in leftist spaces to have transphobic brainworms as well.

    However, it seems like white trans people in leftist spaces, on the other hand, not only ignore their own racist brainworms, but it seems that so many of them just all willy-nilly assume that your average cisgender person in leftist spaces is going to be totally accepting of trans people and not have any strong transphobic brainworms whatsoever.

    I find that they don't have enough skepticism, but I do believe that I'm on the opposite end of this issue, in that I have too much skepticism. It's to a point where I feel that somebody being white and/or cis in and of itself is a major red flag for me.

    A kind-of-an-example-of-this-but-not-really I recall is when a user on Hexbear posted a thread about SSouth KKKorean gender troubles, and they referenced the 4B movement and praised it as some kind of "epic, based WAOW! feminist movement," and many trans users were commenting on this post praising 4B as well. After it came out that 4B is racist, bioessentialist, and just flat-out awful in so many ways, people were cringing at themselves.

    What's my point? Well, if I hear about any female separatist movement, especially in a place like Occupied KKKorea, my first thought isn't going to be, "Wow, this is epic girl power and a powerful middle finger to patriarchy!" Instead, my first thought is going to be, "Let me research this group and find out about all of the terrible shit that they support, and while I'm at it, let me acknowledge how undialectical their movement is, as it has no demands and it is rooted in zero feminist theory."

    The fact that womanists have pushed against white feminists doing this shit in the United States educates my skepticism very well here.

    There's something eerily depressing about the fact that even a "good and expected to be much better than average" leftist space like Hexbear is still incapable of being truly respectful to POC. sadness-abysmal

    It makes me wonder if there is truly any hope for the whites to be decent, even in leftist spaces.

    I've been quite depressed all morning, but definitely for more reasons than just Hexbear being this degree of racist that utterly shocked me. I think it's still getting to me because I'm in such a shock that, for the first time, a Hexbear post led me into a deep depression that made me cry and have to seek mental health support just to calm down enough to go to sleep.

    I never thought this would've happened.

    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.
