    I know racism on its own is bad, but it’s always particularly galling to me when USians are like “these foreigners are coming into ‘our’ land and doing blah blah blah thing that supposedly inconveniences us” and I’m just like… YOUR ORIGIN STORY IS COMING OVER AS FOREIGNERS AND DOING GENOCIDE TO THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, HOW DOES YOUR HEAD NOT EXPLODE FROM THE AUDACITY.

    Like yeah, I know, I know, I’m looking at it from an anti-colonial perspective and some of them are probably proud of being colonizers. But fuck, the gall is something.

    Just more hysteria propaganda, like the “Cat litter in school bathrooms” and “Somalians eating cats and dogs”. Just bullshit, lol. Though, hearing it from my step father, mother, and uncles; with absolute faith in it already, was pretty disappointing.

    The username of that bottom commenter isn’t doing them any favors in making me think they are coming from an angle of good faith.

    Also, funny coincidence that bigotry towards Somali citizens suddenly happens at the same time that Somalia and Israel start butting heads over recognition of Somaliland.

    Alright what is the bullshit about Somalias? I just thought it was general racist islamaphobic trite making the rounds again but what have bigots specifically concocted this time for the sake of being mad at a marginalized group?

    Frankly I don’t see how the diaspora of one of the poorest countries on the planet is in any way a powerful force to be wary of but its not like the whites are known for their grasp on reality.

        I’m aware of the somaliland insurgency but I’m more asking what is being used to “sell” racism against somalis specifically right now. Is it just that Somaliliand is gaining more ground due to western support and Trumpers are suddenly taking a side in a conflict they’ve no interest in prior or is there domestic issue being exploited to try and make the concept of splitting Somalia appealing.

        Wow that was even more stupid than I expected some how.

        These Yakkubian freaks are lucky that no one from our communities (Muslim I mean) has just decided “fuck it, I’m going to make the world a better world today” in relation to these grifter’s existence on our earth.

        Billions of fraud done by Small businesses during Covid but of course they’re obsessed with Non-Profits spear headed by immigrants.

        I fucking despise “I’m not right wing I’m just presenting facts” grifters. Too cowardly to just say they’re genuine beliefs out loud so they hide behind this veneer of tilted statistics like vermin.

        Shit like this is why I was attracted to Marxism Leninism. Becuase only ML states have been successful in making fascists scuttle into the wretches of soceity where they belong.

    This is like something I’d expect to see on 4chan. Posts like this remind me of how much of a shithole reddit really is.
