I need a coat but I only have 20 yards of linen and the clap of my commodity fetishism keeps alerting the instruments of production.

This was suggested to me by another user in the current big thread about this. I haven't finished watching it yet. It's from Poddy Mouth, a black creator. Apparently the video has perspectives from black people with Tourette's included. Might be valuable in this moment.

This is a (very short, < 5 minutes) video from a black elected official with Tourette's. He takes the position that an acknowledgement or apology is necessary. I think this was before the subsequent statement mentioned in the video linked in the post title was made (the following day), so I don't know if that statement would meet the standard this person had in mind for addressing the harm caused.

As I said in my other comments, I don't have the energy right now to really engage with this discussion further, and I don't want to accidentally cause harm by doing so. I just thought this video also belonged in this thread. Also as I said, if you have other such videos please do post them in this thread or in their own post.

Edit: this video, similar to the one linked in the post title, I got from a comment by another user in the previous thread.

I have been asked by another user to include the following info in the post body, which might be relevant to the discussion.

i think you should link this article directly from the guy with tourettes in the post: https://archive.is/GS647

this bit in particular would be helpful i think

Since the fallout, Davidson’s team shares that he’s reached out to the studio handling “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Jordan, Lindo and production designer Hannah Beachler.

It has been pointed out that the discussions that happened on this post can be hard to follow for people who did not see prior posts discussing this subject. I think I wanted to avoid encouraging directly transferring the arguments from prior posts, but that was probably ridiculous to think. I have added them below.

"Death to Germany because they say their reason for existing is to support 'Israel'^[Not a joke, they call this "Staatsräson".]? That's genocidal against Germans."

Sorry, but I don't care about your colonizer fragility.

Sorry Germans, but the zionists will be excluded.

Death to "Israel", death to Germany, and of course, death to AmeriKKKa.

Once a proud, intelligent Tankie asked a Sozialdemokrat how it came to be that six lived in fear of seven. the buffoonish German liberal grimaced and, zionistly, stammered out "six seven" while pretending to weigh his colonialism in his left hand against his fascist tendencies in his right. The Tankie dialectically reeducated the reactionary settler loving Sozialdemokrat before him, explaining that the fear stemmed from seven's consumption of nine's motherland. Still not understanding the Tankie stumbled before deciding to revise his answer (albeit not in a revisionist manner) and explained using a childish metaphor that "seven ate nine." Cackling in glee the Sozialdemokrat counted on his fingers, 7, 8, 9. It is for this reason that executing Sozialdemokraten is not a cruelty but a kindness.

Link to last week's reading group post.

Comrades who can't afford to buy the book should definitely not go to annas-archive (dot) org and find a digital copy there, since that would be wrong and we are all law-abiding, copyright-respecting citizens.

I really will try my best to post these weekly from now on.

As always (and unrelated), you don't hate AmeriKKKa enough.

If you do this, it's because you don't hate AmeriKKKa enough.

Sorry, but it's true.

It's also because you DON'T hate AmeriKKKa ENOUGH.
