I’m sorry to hear about her experience, but sadly not surprised - it isn’t unique.

It’s almost as if people who have reached the most basic level of “progressive” (aka the level that benefits them and not a single step beyond) think they’re done, they can put their feet up and claim their cookies, but truth is that anti-racism, like anti-sexism and all the other anti-isms and -phobias, is an ongoing conscious effort that never stops, because oppression never stops (especially not once a single liberal has become “woke” - I despise the bastardisation of that word).

Privilege is a hell of a drug, no matter what side of the the political spectrum you fall on, and I agree - I wish more people paid attention.

Right, that’s me, doing my best to uphold that status quo… 👍😂

You, meanwhile…

I can’t help myself - someone proudly declaring themselves a lib as if that makes them progressive or something is absolutely laughable 😂😂

It’s almost as bad as someone proudly declaring themselves a republican.

Both parties support uphold and enable the status quo. You’re both literally playing for the same team. Not something I personally would be proud of.

So yeah, I laugh at you and then I block and move on because I know your egos are far too fragile to hear the reality, and I have better things to do with my time than waste it trying to open your eyes… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, no, you… Whataboutism is about trying to derail the conversation, adding other groups to the point to strengthen it isn’t it.

But hey, I guess we found the lib lmfao

I’ve blocked the wilfully (if not maliciously) ignorant sealions, but since I’m on 196 and not my own page I can’t fully ban them, so if you want to keep trying to educate them, be my guests more power to ya, but I’m out lol

So you’re claiming racism and sexism are what, an inevitable part of (white male) human nature we just have to put up with, while you get on with your oppressing? Yet if I said men are shit I guarantee you’d reply with “not all men”… Gtfoh you racist sexist ass.

Lmfao, of course *you * think you shouldn’t have to. But you do! You asked why, to explain it to you, I need to understand what you’re struggling with.

You refusing to say the quiet part out loud just confirms to me what I knew from that first comment - that you’re not genuinely interested, and that I have better things to waste my time on than on providing an education to someone who clearly doesn’t want it.

Lmfao, and I get called obtuse… How about do even the most superficial research in to racism and sexism and why they exist before you demand other people do the work for you, that you promptly disregard to continue pushing your own deliberate misunderstanding of the subject you clearly care so little about ? Sealions be sealioning, while those who can spot you miles away and refuse to feed your bullshit get called obtuse…

Do… Do you think Black women don’t exist?

Lmfao, I don’t think that word means what you think it means

Oh, you’re not even the same person lol

If you want to know my feelings feel free to scroll through my magazine.

Until then, get out of the way and let the person I was replying to explain to me why they see an issue with this post.

Lol I’m not being obtuse, I’m trying to get them to admit the quiet part of their objection out loud

💜

Lmfao, I’m just waiting for you (E: them) to explain to me how either feminism or anti-racism can succeed without the other.

Sadly not only republicans, libs and neolibs who still support capitalism are basically doing the same.

I wouldn’t know, but whatever the alternative to r/conspiracy is, might have some thoughts lol

Got kinda tired of posting there myself, feel free to crosspost though!

True, but like I replied to t he Picasso example - if there are enough red flags being thrown up, no name will save them…

And why is that?
