Hello nerds, hope you all have a good next week
Remember no crackers
Westerners finding every excuse to explain why they think Ethiopia wasn’t considered one of the three great powers alongside the Roman Empire and Han Dynasty China.
I once had a dream that the Aztecs had fighter jets and used them to sink the Spanish ships and destroy their forts lol
God-willing… god-willing
I was already fucking done with westerners, but the genocide and the bombing of Iran sealed it, there’s nothing to expect from them or any hope from them, lost cause not different than Germans in the 40s, there’s multiple concentration camps massacres happen every day, then your country bombs a random country’s NUCLEAR FACILITY FOR THE GOAL OF MAKING IT LEAK and they still act like it’s normal even better, they criticize us in our countries for being authoritarians or aggressors or whatever the fuck george orwell words they learned in 7th grade reading.
They act like hitler is some kinda messiah. Him dying washes away their sins or some shit and they have a clean slate to do more fuckeries and we’re supposed to turn a blind eye to it.
education is a frustrating matter, I want to shove book into people’s faces until they read, like damn you read about how your people got colonized ffs
Then you find many pocs reciting racist propaganda they got from youtube. Easier to absorb bite sized bullshit than read the several books about reality. Smh
it’s like a toddler, you can try all day to teach them “say thank you :)” “Say hi :)” and they don’t do that, but you hit your toe a lil hard and then bam that kid suddenly knows how to repeat what they were told
This site is still incredibly white and racist.
This site is actually my relief space because other places are so much worse.
what was it this time?
we gotta have a bingo at this point
Can be said week to week, to no change.
Today is the independence day of Vunzuela and Algeria
Social media can be so cringe. I had been following an indigenous rights group and over time I’ve come to realize its kind of a lib page even though they do some radical positions like land back. And I didn’t mind the fact that it is a lib page, but they posted some cringe shit about black people being colonizers and it like… ehhhh. If we’re going to label black people like that because there are those who enthusiastically support the US and white supremacy then you’re going down a slippery slope by labeling the entire group that way. Especially because there are groups of indigenous people who believe in assimilating with, or at least are ok with, colonizer culture. IDK, maybe I’m thinking about it too much, but I unfollowed the page. I have other indigenous rights pages that are much more intersectional.
The thing about U.S. media dominance is that you can’t escape its ideas even in places you consider to be apolitical or safe, I just saw a kitty page that I follow make a joke about the U.S. bombing Iran.
Its disturbing how gleefully sadistic they get too. You don’t go to far before you get people saying nuke a country

A friend of a friend who is a “pillar of the local queer community” calling me a dangerous Tankie that people shouldn’t associate with. lol 😂
“DUDE ARE YOU SERIOUSLY DEFENDING THE BARBARIAN SAVAGES OF AFRICA? THEY EAT HUMANS DUDE, I HAVE A COUSIN THERE AND THEY PUT HIM IN A BIG POT AND ATE HIM, CAN’T BELIEVE YOU LEFTISTS WILL SUPPORT EVEN BARBARIC CANNIBAL REGIMES IF IT MEANT IT’S AGAINST THE EMPIRE” - British man in the 1800s who I depict as the wojak.
The current struggle sess on twitter about wages in the imperial core showed the chauvinism of quite a few “leftists”, god forbid someone mentions that there is other ways to empowers the workers in the imperial core than just rising the minimun wage
You’d think that people would see that given how expensive it is to survive even in places that have raised the minimum wage. Like, yes its an important fight, but in the end its an extremely small part of a much larger class struggle. Its the same with free Healthcare. A lot of" leftists" trip over themselves to support any run of the mill socdem imperialist as soon as they say the support it.
I had to question my own politics because it seems so obvious that raising wage is no end goal for anybody. My salary basically doubled in the past 5 years, you know what else did ? My rent. I would gladly take half of my salary if it meant I had little to no rent.
I’m glad the left is starting to talk policy now in lieu of catchy slogans though.
Absurd question but I just realized I have no idea how do I make other bipoc friends? Because almost all my friends are white and there’s things they don’t get. I live in a very white place but it’s a city and there’s tons of normal (non-cracker) people around, but a lot of them seem siloed in their own communities. I’ve never felt like I could go to cultural events for my ethnic group and don’t even know if there are any here because my parents are pretty assimilationist, I don’t speak the language, I don’t have a shared cultural background because I was raised very American.
Replying to this for visibility because I feel the same way.
@vegeta1@hexbear.net I remember one time as a small kid that I had a tantrum in a souk because my parents didn’t want me to get a blanket of Vegeta screaming and instead bought me a blanket with rabbits on it.
They may have thought rabbits were safe but they aren’t. I watched watership down and thats far more gully than anything I’ve ever done
there are members of a DSA caucus that are legitimately mad at and talking about filing a grievance against another DSA member for calling them crackers on twitter. there’s no joke I could make that’s funnier then the situation itself
Nerds we are gonna get cancelled for saying the c-word
Don’t worry! If “cracker” isn’t your pick, I got more for you to select from! Are you down with “honky”? What about “bleach demon”? Does “no-purpose flour” fit your vibe?
why not cumskin?
Should double-down with “Okay, cracker.”
