"Israel" is not different from America, When Netenyahu calls Palestinians Amalek that need to be wiped out, Trump says that Iranian civilization needs to be wiped. Then the "progressives" of such entities claim that "we do not Agree with him, he's just a right wing fascist" yet they do nothing about him, they're not silent in fear of prosecution, they're silent in agreement.

And to those self proclaimed Muslims and leftists who shout and cheer at every missile like they were the ones firing it, yet refuse to talk about the demonization of a whole nation, a whole sect should figure out where they stand.

Saw some clip of Sabrina carpenter talking down an Arab woman while her fans cheer at calling the Zaghrouta weird.

NEVER PUT WHITES ON A PEDASTAL. This behavior is not shocking once you realize how many of these artists come from rich backgrounds and the only poc they interact with are whitewashed as hell

Thinking back to this time I worked as a barista and this taller, bigger Black man would come in every morning and say he wants his coffee "Black and strong" just like he is.

At the time, I thought it was so corny and goofy and it made me laugh, but looking back, I see him as nothing but an absolute legend.

Hope he's doing well today.

I need the overly neurotic, insecure people on various platforms including on this site to really stop analyzing global events through personal betrayal narratives and start treating reality with a level of sophistication and (yes unfortunately) level-headedness if you want to not only understand it but also to change it. But maybe that’s asking too much.

This has become increasingly clear the past few years. From Venezuela and Iran, to every other country that rarely gets the spotlight in the “international Left” media. After a certain point, reaction for the sake of reaction, critique for the sake of critique, leads to nowhere. Especially when legitimising imperialist aims (which is worse than nowhere of course, it actively harms the international movement).

Apologies for vague-posting but genuinely after a certain point, one should ask oneself - is showcasing your disapproval online affecting anything materially except satisfying your own ego - in which case it may be best to invest your time in non-political hobbies if it doesn’t go beyond the screen.

i finally finished wretched of the earth, still digesting and parsing through but man it’s incredible how much you can tell that a lot of thinkers were influenced by this book, shoutout franz fanon (i will say though the book is incredibly male centric :/ )

Fuck KKKontrapoints for her shitty ass Cuba “joke”. NATO leftists are convinced they’re the most intelligent in the room while saying the same dumb shit you’d see see on a Fox News segment.

Got a job interview tomorrow with a company that is

1. Big
2. One of those places that people say "hires everybody"
3. Is hiring multiple positions
4. Hires quickly
5. Pays pretty well

I hope I get it

Good lord, so ready to be a wagie

this is a comment with 0 likes on youtube, not worth my waste of time, but it's interesting to look at the mentality of a U.S. soldier, Trans or not, And they always preface it with the "I only held the nails, I wasn't the nailing them to the crucifix", it shows that they know what they've done they don't regret it they're clarifying it to trick themselves and anyone who didn't connect the two dots. "I did it to escape poverty" and they're talking about healthcare and college, you want to escape poverty? hold up a gun and break into random people's homes and steal all their valuable stuff just like you did in Iraq and Afghanistan atleast then you won't have to go overseas.

And a good April to you.

Happy birthday to the Al-Sarkha, may it continue to upset zionists and their allies for many more years to come!

I wish death upon Europeans who mald about immigrants and refugees "invading" Europe. People have to flee there in large numbers because of colonialism and empire, dipshits.

Something I find incredibly confusing about the term "biracial" is that it is strictly defined on a genetic basis but it is a term that exists in relation to a social construct.

Here's what I find so damn frustrating: By the "genetic" definition of "biracial," I am "biracial," but in relation to all the social baggage that the term comes with? Absolutely not. How is it that simply having a certain genetic makeup means that the term gets permanently marked on my existence, but then when I see people talk about biracial people, they're out there saying shit like, "Biracial people look different from Black people. They are racially ambiguous, have light skin, and have curly hair instead of coily hair. They can never truly understand the monoracial Black experience." when literally none of that applies to me.

The term "biracial" is a misnomer because this discrepancy between denotation and connotation is never acknowledged. When one is "biracial" by denotation but not by connotation (as am I), discourse on "biracial" people can look incredibly disorienting, especially when it's being conducted by people who believe in race science (and let's be honest, it often is).

The stereotype of pitbull owners being poc is a pretty dated one. Nowadays I’ve seen more poc with Chihuahuas and Yorkies while it’s middle class to rich white women who have pit bulls they can’t control.

This is the case in Guatemala as well.

All the Hasan Piker discourse in us politics makes me wonder if my joke about him becoming the 21st century Eugene Debs actually happens.

Ziohran Copdani chumming it up with Barrage Obomber should open up the eyes of anyone who still has them closed, unfortunately they’re sealed shut with superglue

American leftists outside of very specific leftist spaces are so predictable. They’re decent on domestic issues and idpol and then talk about how China is imperialist

My life and mental health only got better when I decided to permanently throw Reddit in the trash, and I will never forget that.

Just saw a post on here that makes me wish we had a hexbear equivalent of AAVE struggle tweets

I don't understand the thought behind "learning a language secularly", I don't know if other languages have this or if it's an Arabic/Persian thing where you'll often see learners want to speak a language without the involvement of religion and culture I do not think many people can learn English separated from anglo religion, culture and taboos. I wish I was better at explaining my point but I haven't learnt a single language I speak "secularly" , I didn't read the whole English translation of the bible to speak English, but I had to consequently learn many things about Anglo versions of christianity and many parts of western traditions even though I didn't like or believe in it.

I physically can not comprehend it and I'm not educated enough on linguistics to call out anything or if to know something's wrong, but it feels like wanting to learn a language to talk to yourself.

Reddit is weirdly illiterate for being a completely text-based platform.

I’ve had too many instances where I’ll be discussing something and someone reads the first sentence and dismisses the entire rest of my comment based on that. It’s like you have to constantly type in hooks and clickbait filled with epic one-liners to move the discussion forward.

So a while ago, the leftist tabletop game club near me went under and was bought out by another owner. Shit happens and the founder was a bit of an anarkiddy who was terrible at doing leftwing praxis. And by "terrible," I mean "Shouting at anyone who says something he doesn't agree with instead of explaining why their opinion is reactionary." He didn't want to educate and organize, he wanted to be the smartest person in the room. Needless to say, the club space made people feel unwelcome and a lot of baby leftists decided not to come back. Anyone not explicitly leftist got banned. Now no one is supporting him enough to keep the lights on and the rent paid.

New owner and his spouse buy the club and rebuild how things are done from the ground up, such as hosting regular events, setting up a community art space, and so on. They're both really friendly and welcoming. People who were wary of the previous owners come back and people from nearby cities are driving here to see what all the hullabaloo is about.

Despite this, I still felt something was off. I couldn't put my finger on it. Why was this new owner making me feel uneasy? He's not physically intimidating. He's always smiles and cultivating a family-friendly atmosphere. He's still maintained a lot of the same policies of no chud shit allowed. Why was I still bothered by him?

Then it hit me when I was looking at a wall. The BLM and Anti-fascist Action flags weren't there anymore. The Pride one was still there. I understand taking down the antifa flag. ICE is operating around and some chud sent a notice to a corporation over some other bullshit, so why wouldn't they also be willing to SWAT the place, too?

But the BLM flag? That tells me this guy sees skin color as "political" and "bad for business" (it's neither). It tells me he has no convictions, he'd rather make racists feel welcome than take a hit to his bottom line. He will rat me out to ICE once they start going after anyone who isn't white. He cannot be trusted. His leftism is performative.

I don't have this problem at another game shop nearby who has never been anything close to leftwing. The most they've done is LGBTQ+ friendly nights for kids. What's the difference? The owner of the shop is reliably in it for money. He doesn't want racism in the shop because it's leaving money on the table. He's always catered to non-white game communities not because he's anti-racist, but because it's good for business.

Neither he nor his employees would rat people out because they know doing so would make people feel unsafe and not spend money there. The gaming club on the other hand? I know I can't rely on them. Once scratched, fascists will bleed. They won't help if anyone there needs to throw down with the cops or ICE or the military or whoever.

I should've known better because it's always foxes and wolves with white people. I just couldn't figure out what was bothering me until I realized they took down a flag.

was really bored so I wrote an odd time jazz bass solo earlier

was how I passed time while waiting for this interview I had to go to... honestly, I don't think it went well but apparently I'll get an answer around Wednesday.

Frustrated by the colonized minds of so many Black Americans saying "I like natural hair!" when they actually mean they only like a particular kind of natural hair, and that is typically the kind that is loose curls.

I am too "nappy" for my natural hair to be considered in this performative praise of natural hair.

General Tso's made using soya chunks, sriracha "lo mein" (whole wheat spaghetti) on the side

Went ahead and filed a complaint over this gift card because they had two fucking delays... Based off of what I was informed, I should've already gotten this on the first of this month.

Just found this banger

On today's episode of "White people @belly_beanis@hexbear.net encounters IRL reveal their support is conditional"

a clip from years ago that lives in my head rent free was this couple (white gf black bf) getting approached by a racist guy talking about "intermixing is bad you will have worse babies" or something and the white girl responding with "actually scientific stuidies have shown that mixed children are smarter" and I keep dissecting the layers of wrong that short clip had.
