i wish i could remember who exactly it was, but i remember a few accounts of black panthers leaving the united states - possibly on a trip to mecca, and being like “these white people aren’t really white” because they were “brothers in islam” and weren’t actually behaving like crackkkers in america do, and were instead being respectful and kind. So actually yeah, the black panthers did understand that whtieness is political and a social construct

Ah, looks it was literally Malcom X himself

“We were truly all the same (brothers)–because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude.”

i know you’re making a joke, but i want to point out that this thread is about white people joking about hurting white people is bad, but somehow a joke about black activists not understanding basic critical race theory and jumping to being violent to white people is okay. I don’t really get that. i feel like joking that black activists will hurt white people because they don’t understand their own theory is far more racist than white people saying “kill all mayos”

Hilarious. goading racist white people into being banned and dunked on is good to me, and it’s why i make “kill all whitey” posts or whatever. It is definitely not to win brownie points from POC members. I’m just a shit stirrer and hate racists, and it’s quite easy to troll them by just using the same language they use to be racist against the people in power instead. Suddenly they have a problem with language like that if it’s used to punch up instead of down.

IMO in a white supremacist culture you can’t even be racist to white people. Baised against maybe, but you can’t actually be structurally racist.

I guess i don’t see it much differently than calling for the genocide of colonizers or . Like it’s not that deep. It’s fun to dunk on people who take anti-whiteness seriously. But i’m sorry it makes you feel uncomfortable and like mayos are trying to absolve themselves of their mayoness. I guess i just see it as white people rejecting white supremacy and punching up at white people who believe in white supremacy or race “”“science”“”, which seems harmless to me. But thanks for sharing your point of view.

this might be terrible advice. Maybe since you have PTSD you are dealing with your body going into freeze mode when threatened, but you really need to get more fight mode. Practicing hitting for real and sparring will definitely help condition you to automatically respond when threatened, i have experienced this when i’ve been forced to self defend. It is automatic now.

I think just build up to making it feel safe to spar and feel angry. I feel like when i was stuck in feeling frozen from PTSD, i wouldn’t even let myself feel anger because it was too dangerous for me, so maybe you’re in the same place? Yeesh i’m terrible at this.

If you can’t imagine hurting them over self-defense, maybe try imagining hurting them over some imagined defense of others. When sparring, as long as you’ve got safety equipment on, you’re good to go. it’s great practice for learning. If it’s too real to think of it as real self defense, just think of it as a fun game like fencing to get yourself into it, that lets your body learn how to move and gets your brain time to warm up to the idea of actually hurting another person.

You could try reading some black panther’s theory about self defense and seeing if any sticks with you into why it’s good actually to be ready to hit back. I’m kicking myself because i don’t remember exactly the title i’m thinking of, but Black Against Empire is great, or maybe it was Against Civility. There’s also a citations needed about nonviolence somewhere, i’m sure it’s in the podcasts directory or here’s the transcript.

Anyway, here’s “In defense of self defense” by comrade Huey Newton

“the oppressor has no rights that the oppressed is bound to respect. Kill the slavemaster, destroy him utterly, move against him with implacable fortitude. Break his oppressive power by any means necessary.”

remember when trump got like two billion dollars in free coverage from the news and everyone was like damn, maybe we shouldn’t do that next time

Well, the news corps are at it again folks. More and more people are saying it. They’re gonna meme the big red boy into the white house again

Two one term fascists fighting over which gets to be the next full term war criminal in chief

Tiktok isn’t an app for kids, i don’t want to be ageist - it’s for all ages and everyone can have fun on there. But the way tiktoker’s talk on tiktok and other platforms with their cutesy little euphemisms for violence and sex does make me think every time “Ah, they’re used to the kiddie app”, because it’s making grown adults be afraid to talk about adult topics.

This is just the fault of censorship and not the app or the users, but it is literally sanitized kiddie language and feels very out of place and hard to take seriously on websites that don’t have that censorship.

so amerikkkans paid to have their own data stolen

honestly what’s the deal with kratom? I see it sold in sus looking stores here ?

All i know about kava is i stumbled upon a reddit thread about it and it had a bunch of comments of (presumably) white people who were like nooo it’s actually not cultural appropriation to take and sell indigenous plant used for ceremonies. I don’t know anything about that but if i was consuming kava i’d try to buy direct from indigenous people, same as coffee.

I feel like i’m sus of stoicism because it’s popular on reddit, but i don’t think it’s a red flag and people’s opinions who i respect had it work for them. I’ve done literally no research into the philosophy.

But anyway, focusing on the present moment and what you can control is pretty accepted brain doctor tactics, not a red flag. Sounds pretty similar to mindfulness stress reduction therapy.

80 thousand people actually wrote in joe biden. Are we sure this is real?

me for real

thinking about how i took a women’s health class back in uni and we discussed abortion and the entire class and teacher basically spent 1hr 45 min dunking on the few anti-abortion people in class and got them to agree it should be a choice

classist, but pro abortion

i was scheduled for a 9am meeting, so i woke up early. Got in "Oh we don’t need you for this :) "

Uhhhhh okay thanks for making me wake up early on a cold friday morning

Americans and their vassals are beginning to escort ships through the area

Yes, amerika loves spending a shit ton of money doing escort duty on long fucking trade voyages and is definitely sustainable forever

these fucking people i swear to fuck. That just makes the protest more likely to succeed because amerika is wasting far more money now lol. More barriers to profit = better protest.

i live in a jungle i work in a monkee tree i’m looking from an angle from a bird of a different breed, yeah

Tied to the rat race A big bird in a small cage you’re tied with a tightrope and you wiggle, but it won’t let go

i got some that has extra protein. Tasted like shit, but it’s fine if you want a healthy snacc. You can make pbish cookies or put in shakes and stuff like that

There was a downed line on my street and people are just… driving over it. This is your average amerikkkan car-cel and they will be choosing the next War Criminal President
