stuff like “Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you”
Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?
i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it
I’m calling them the scum of the earth because they already did hate me and I hate them back. We’ve been doing this shit back and forth since Bush Jr., I didn’t just emerge from the ether and instigate this by calling DeusVult69 a fucking dick out of nowhere in 2016
Annoying her dogshit takes live rent free in my head and have for some time. I think I could live with her being so annoyingly wrong if she wasn’t also so condescending
She reminds me of the type of other kid you meet in school who, for whatever reason, decides that you’re a dumbass and they need to be your straight talking older sibling. Also I know it’s not very substantive to go in on how someone sounds, but the way she also talks like a stereotypical “mean girl” during all this just rubs me the wrong way. Like why are you complaining about people being rude to the rudest fucks on earth when you yourself talk like everyone who isn’t them or you is stupid?
It seems like some kind of…I guess I’d call it “Reactionary Realism”, that noxious “well that’s just the way it is, toughen up buttercup” way of passively enabling shitty behavior and shitty systems. As if “that’s just the way it is” isn’t the most useless conclusion possible in almost any situation, one that would have kept humankind from harnessing fire if it had been left at that back then.
“Do these settler-colonial social norms deserve my contempt? No; it’s the misfits who are weak and contemptible.”
Im not speaking about her in particular. Shes just an easy example of a sect on the left who makes apologies for trash who wants to hurt our POC comrades.
This site is literally an offshoot of a subreddit about the pod she got notoriety off of.
I’ve never been able to satisfactorily sum up what is is exactly that kept me from fully liking her, can’t find the right word or phrase to encompass her specific blend of
Some of the people here have such a way with words that listening to them feels as clear and logical as looking at a photo, and I appreciate those people for helping me tease out the contours of my problem with her.
I hate that so much. “Leftists pushed me to the right.” No you were always a piece of shit but didn’t realize it until someone accurately called you out on it. Am I supposed to coddle people who are deliberately calling me the wrong pronoun? Am I supposed to be nice to my cousins who are active Klan members?
When I’ve unionized we’ve inevitably worked with reactionary people who have incorrect priorities. The best way to get them to shut up is show them they’re outnumbered and to tell them to shut the fuck up. Bullying works.
I don’t want the approval of fascists, I want them either dead or so afraid of speaking that they don’t.
