Remember, EM POC only!

Just brewed up the coffee, feeling like a doomer, but at least I'm about to be a caffeinated one.

How are all my fellow EM POC comrades doing?

my favourite activity is watching crackers make shit up and believe it, especially the more "left leaning" ones, end up seeing stuff like "of course some Haitians eat household pets, but that's not enough to justify racism against them and there's good ones that don't eat pets" from time to time

Picture of the average whitey when left alone with their thoughts:

It does seem like they're addicted to outrage. Conservatives are constantly finding things to get upset over, but even libs will glue themselves to the screen looking at Trump's antics. I don't understand it. It's too exhausting to constantly plug yourself into the outrage machine. Like go watch a movie or something.

I think the outrage culture probably exists among EMPOCs, though I'm struggling to think of any examples.

Like go watch a movie or something.

Can't even do that because now they'll even lose their minds for the most minimal repesentation of anything other than CIS white people.

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I remember the IMDB message board would always be filled with chuds losing their shit any time a movie had anything other than white cishet straight men.

There's a movie called "The Invitation" and it takes place in LA. A bunch of people were in the message boards complaining about diversity within the cast and I'm just like "That's a pretty typical friend group when you live in a city with over 1 million people?"

.......aaaaaaand I ate a ban from chapo for pointing out settler ideological fascist gun fantasies. Whitey got mad and used his mod powers to nuke my comments. Which admin do I talk to about that?

They were doing the thing where they made up a scenario, freaked out about the thing they just made up, then got mad when this was pointed out.

I've completely lost my motivation

Sometimes, it just happens to the best of us... deeper-sadness

But at one point or another, you will find respite!

[-] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

I haven't painted in months and I've been completely slacking on drawing. I just feel like there's not much point to what I make because late stage capitalism spoils everything. Coupled with depression, anxiety, and a disability, it's hard to get motivated. ๐Ÿ˜ช

I really hope the Alliance of Sahel States is successful and improves people's lives and conditions. The people in these regions deserve a win

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

Their situation is depressing, I can tell a massacre happened by seeing Africans from the Sahel in my area, just went through the border and haven't learned basic sentences or that [my province] isn't a good place to stay in.

Unfortunately the terrorism situation looks incredibly bad (France was already useless at tackling it though)

[-] Beetle_O_Rourke@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

tackling

More like promoting

[-] khizuo@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Ooh, I'm early! Well I guess late, because I'm up doing homework.

Doing okay, I guess. I've been better, I've been worse. This "college" thing is not really geared towards how my brain works, but I'm doing my best.

[-] Angel@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Every day leads to me distrusting cracKKKers more and more, no matter how "left" they paint themselves as.

[-] homhom9000@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Especially with how election season is going. Like I love joking around too but I have to side eye some of these jokes

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

I got on the subway with someone that had a dog and an old white guy, at the top of his lungs, asked the dog owner if anyone has asked to eat his dog. Just fucking make it stop with the forced pet jokesdisgost

got a stim toy yesterday. wow i should have been doing this earlier.

I like it when my makeup reflects how I feel inside (dead)

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Why even need makeup when ye can just be yerself?

That's how I normally roll

[-] khizuo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

tbh that's how I lived every day of most of my life, this makeup thing is still relatively new for me in the grand scheme of things.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

Oh okay, then... it must be a nice change from the usual, at least!

[-] khizuo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I know I sound like an emo teenager. Sometimes the emo teenagers are correct.

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago

"Hate" is feeling kinda light this morning. They don't make a word for how I feel about settler trash anymore, or a brief enough verbal encapsulation of everything I want to watch happen to them.

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

I guess even AM's speech couldn't even encapsulate yer hatred...

[-] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Nooooooo. That's not nearly neat enough. These motherfuckers make me wish for a Hell just to know that on a cosmic level, even if it's after death, that justice would be done. There is not a word neat enough to embody "I have to wish for an entire metaphysical plane of eternal agony and torment just to deal with your fuckery".

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I guess you can say... yer hate is pure!

[-] asante@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Official Title of this Community: Ethnic Minorities and People of Color

Why is the title different?

We like to have fun here.

What is this place? A safe space for underrepresented peoples and peoples of color to talk, chill, and vibe.

What are the basic rules of the community?

  1. Follow Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines. Non negotiable. This is the bedrock and mods will make decisions with this always in mind.

  2. This community is for ethnic minorities and people of color. This is a safe space where such people can freely discuss their struggles, insight, and thoughts without fear. If you are not, we respectfully ask you do not post or comment here. A future community will be established to allow for racial discussions with a mixed userbase. However, remember, comments here must still respect Lemmy TOS and Community Guidelines.

  3. Irony Racism is still racism. Racism is bad m'kay? We will treat irony racism and bad faith racist satire as racism. Will wield the ban hammer accordingly.

  4. No sectarianism: This is an identity channel not a channel for you all to complain about why XYZ isn't the "one true leftism". Take that to another place.

  5. Stupidpol is not allowed. Stupidpol is class reductionist. We are an identity community. Thinking like stupidpol ignores the struggles of the oppressed, their voices, and their need for unique support. Nothing says oppression more than someone saying that the identity you have is "not real" and that if you only thought like them you'd see what your "real" identity is. Mods reserve the right to ban users and content who promote stupidpol, stupidpol memes, and other class reductionist thinking.

FAQ

I don't look XYZ and/or sometimes I can pass as white so I don't know if I can post here. Can I?

What can I post?
