Not to toot my own horn, but I think it's time to bust out this quote again:
White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable, but made apparent by how all of their other ideas orbit around it.

Where's this from?

Real talk, I hope that wherever AALewis is, he's doing well. Yeah, his infamous quote was extremely cringe, but he was 14 at the time, and 14 year olds can have a little cringe as a treat.
If y'all knew the kind of shit I was saying at 14 I'd be not only banned, I'd be first in the pit. That's probably true for many of us here. Kids grow and change fast if given the opportunity to
This so perfectly encapsulates what I have seen/felt since the terrorist pager attacks. Like, I always knew white folks were pretty racist towards Arab peoples. But man, the last month or so has really shone a light on it. The black hole analogy is spot on. There’s so much obvious racism and hatred in comments like “well sure a bunch of innocent hospital workers lost their hands/eyes but they deserved it for helping TERRORISTS!” type stuff. But the single greatest offense you can commit towards a white person is to accuse them of racism - even if it’s not conscious. So we all have to go along with their fiction that it’s not about racism but about FIGHTING TERRORISM.
I can not imagine writing this and not seeing the contradiction, what point does she even think she is making? Like, obviously the KKK is advocating for horrible unjust violence, no one could believe they aren't. To tolerate them because they do it politely, following social norms, but to not tolerate pro-Palestinian activism means you care more about politeness than violence.

That's cause they do! Well, I'm sure they don't see it that way, but to them violence is saying mean things that disturb them during their commute or besmirch the front page of the New York Times. If you do violence quietly and civilly such that they aren't forced to hear about it, you're in the clear.
you care more about politeness than violence.
That plus
"The white moderate"
Letter from Birmingham Jail is the most relevant document.
A great example of a scratched liberal moment
The KKK were CIVIL about lynching black people
"They never openly called for violence"
They're the bloody KKK, they do all the time. BTW you know Gamergaters aren't going to apologize to you, right? Oh yeah, Gamergate was a time when the actual KKK called for violence on YOU specifically, now you're all buddy-buddy with them?
She still sometimes says some things about Gamergate, and all of her newfound followers try to politely defend Gamergate to her when she does.
But also like, when have Pro-Palestine protest movements in the US called for violence?
Stone of them have probably made statements in support of liberatory violence against the apartheid regime. That cannot stand as it would disturb the status quo.
Don’t be silly, we all know that making the rich feel uncomfortable also counts as violence.
When they insisted on pretending that "From the river to the sea" or any other call for basic human dignity for palestinians was a call for genocide.
Right? Their mere existence is a call for violence, for the establishment of a white supremacist status quo. Ffs Brianna.
I prefer my calls for violence to be made using dogwhistles and will judge things completely devoid of any context
Riddle me this, fascist, what the fuck else was the literal klan advocating for?
In a just world, you would get taken out back and shot for saying this. I am shocked that I am saying this, but the gamergaters were right about this individual (derogatory).
Gamergate was never right about anything but with the benefit of hindsight
They were right about her for the absolute worst reasons
Brianna Wu has been locked up in a lab, and she can't leave until she has synthesized the world's purest worst take.
Does...does this person know what the KKK stands for?
Depending on which KKK you're referring to, either Philippine independence from Spain; Cypriot independence from Britain as a socialist state; or the violent maintenance of white supremacy throughout Anglo-America.
Only one of these groups was active in Mississippi in the 1990s.
Well she's a well off white woman from Mississippi so the answer is probably yes, but she's been trained in manners and social violence by some of the best monsters in the world so also no.
Does the KKK stand for anything that is not a direct call to violence?
It does if you are a white person working for a Republican, as Brianna Wu was at the time.
it would be illegal and a call to violence and terrorism for me to say 'brianna wu should be hanged'
Personally, I think she should be treated just like the Palestinians are being treated right now. She doesn't see anything wrong with how the Isntrealis and the US govt. are behaving after all, right? Surely everything will be fine and agreeable by her standards?
But if you add "... once the correct paperwork has been filed" it suddenly becomes much more acceptable to liberals.
The KKK? As in the Ku Klux Klan? The premier homegrown American as apple pie terrorist organization? Responsible for many murders, torture and terror?
Curious.
yeah the kkk just wants to kill the jews AND the palestinians. such a nuanced smart take
The collection of words in this tweet were formulated in a lab to make the worst possible pro Israeli appeal to morality of all time.
Crazy dumbass insect
More like Brianna Whew with that take.
brianna poo
Also the buried admission of "and we let them" among the on-the-face-bullshit nonsense this lady is spewing
They didn't have to openly talk about doing violence because they were openly doing violence.
Brianna what the fuck
KKKivility
Also, isn't this... kinda backhandedly acknowledging and supporting great replacement shit? Does she think the kkk was actually being massacred and driven off their land when they were marching around "Ole Miss" doing terrorist shit?
