feels weird to have presentations through zoom. Most of us can't afford strong internet and the regular blackouts accompanied by Burmese teachers usually being pretty unforgiving towards a student's condition, situation, or accommodations makes me a little worried of how these factors will affect our grades when I'm seeing and experiencing regular internet instability. It's a lot more noticeable in group projects when one person being disconnected can really disturb the group's flow. Then there's also the fact that some of us aren't lucky enough to afford a soundproofed or private room, which I'm worried might penalize our grades too

man i hate being born here

part of being in the third world or poc is that anything you say will be ignored due to the current word for "you're a savage", it took almost 80 years for Palestinian resistance to be taken half seriously, before this phase of the genocide and before white people learning sympathy about Palestinian they used to call us Islamo-fascists and whatever else for being against the zionist occupation and supporting the resistance.

finished arranging and mixing this djent version of "Your Woman" by White Town in one sitting

I like how the solo and the chuggy section afterwards came out

I have something embarrassing to confess. Sometimes on Lemmy I comment my actual opinions in the most tankie way possible, hoping someone screenshots it and it lands on MeanwhileOnGrad just for the validation

Yeah...

Death to all the white trash scumbags who called that Yemeni kid who went on Hasan's channel a Houthi pirate terrorist. Death to all whites, especially white "leftists"

only peaceful measures should be done against death camps

Some in Latin America believe that a blue wave will prevent Rubio from destroying Latin America. My concern is that they’ll continue to aid him with destroying Cuba while also funding Ukronazis.

wtf they named a planet after me 🥺

"Progressive" white women around me irl at least aren't even pretending to care about any social issue besides anything that benefits white women as a group lmao as usual my history teacher being uber racist, today it was "cape verdeans are seen as the most desirable and physically attractive africans because they have one if not the highest % of european dna that distinguishes them from other africans" with 0 pushback from the 20+ white students present btw. Yes all whites, death to every single one.

Oh the concept of being third culture as my ethnic identity is permanently locked out from being accepted in my home culture and my ethnic identity i am locked out of because of my home culture is giving me a sense of homelessness

Baltic and Scandinavian Euros are the most Americanized by far. It’s always them I hear speaking AAVE and the n-word without a second thought.

I hope people find this as funny as I did.

Hanging out with anarchists and:

Cis white guy: I would rather we have another Obama than Trump

Me, brown trans woman with immigrant parents: idk how much that matters, I mean Obama set the stage for Trump, and was far more competent at running the empire. I'm enjoying watching the US empire own itself under Trump.

His cis white girlfriend turns to me: yeah, that's a pretty privileged position to have.

I was so surprised by her having the audacity to say that to my face (well, to my mask, everyone else wants to pretend Covid is over) that I couldn't even respond before the conversation had moved on. Yes, it's very privileged to recognize that no matter how bad I have it as a brown trans 2nd generation immigrant, people in the third world are more precarious and in more danger from the US Empire so what benefits them matters more. It's very privileged to be willing to take on worse adversity at home for the betterment of the world. It is not privileged to go "me me me what about me I'm so scared of what Trump will do to me, a cis white american woman, we have to center my safety here, it's really privileged to think about the third world"

American chauvinists cannot be trusted and cannot be considered leftists even if they say they are. Also why do anarchists who supposedly respect no nation keep defaulting to american chauvinism? Obviously it's plain selfishness but I don't see MLs doing that

White atheist/agnostic marxists on this site and outside would rather just shit on religious poc/3rd world comrades, who do more for communism globally than they ever will, than just admit humans are complex beings who can hold contradicting beliefs yet still commit to the cause huh

Norman Finkelstein is the Eminem of Palestinian activism, only reason his work is one of the most known is his skin color, if Norm was Arab you wouldn't even know his name.

Fuck the America worshippers. Keep praying to your gringo masters that see you as subhuman. Fucking idiots.

Nothing surprises me anymore, but it doesn't make it any less disgusting that people are angrier at genocide denier, Ethan Kline, for cheating on his IDF wife than they were for him being a genocide denier or his wife being a foot soldier for the genocidal entity.

I was talking to an American expat today who said he was a missionary in Brazil for 20 years and really supported Lula. He then went on to disparage Bolsonaro and his supporters, genuinely struggling to understand what made them so hateful. Keep in mind he was an evangelical missionary during his 20 years there.

There’s a term for people bemoaning the problem they helped create that escapes me.

I hope y'alls rest of the month is better than the absolute shitshow mine's been

LULA WON

So I’ve been watching the newest Avatar (Seven Havens), and some people call it too wokeTM. In my opinion, it’s not woke enough.

The core tension of the first season so far seems inspired by the classic dilemma between a free market and a planned economy that limits people’s choices. Since the writers are American, you can guess which path they’re going to take

Whites have a long history of torturing and killing innocents in the most brutal way and act like Aztec sacrifices were the same. They did it for religious purposes and didn’t derive pleasure out of impaling women like the Europeans often did.

The imperialist first world refuses to allow humane working conditions for people in the cobalt mines in the Congo, to keep down the prices of treats, of tablets of phones and computer parts, but are completely fine with tripling prices for the sake of data centers. So to my fellow third worlders out there: our lives are worth less than AI sexbots.

Where were you on Klein/11?

holy shit Lula is winning at over 70% votes counted pls omg
