why not both though? if a westoid can try to dismantle the imperial core then we can also have the understanding to view ourselves as below humanity, that way the global south is helped while we understand our place in the world

i apologize if i come off as rude, i'm genuinely curious as to why properly loathing one's existence as the entity is used to dissolve imperialism seems to be disliked

    but wouldn't that leave us unpunished for our parasitic acts towards the global south? even if we did proletarianize we still act as parasites, our history can't be changed and needs to be addressed before we can be allowed into socialist civilization, if at all

    like you said, the animal gets violent when cornered and that's how all of us are innately, it's just part of being westoid and that innate violence is what concerns me

    but given our parasitic relationship to the global south wouldn't we technically be enemies to the movement? or at least major hindrances, even if the west were to become socialist as well it'd still be stealing from the global south to my understanding

    to me it feels morally incorrect to see us as working class because we benefit from exploiting humans

    what it says on the title, we just violate and parasitize humanity and i don't even know if we should be kept around if a global revolution actually happens

    i honestly feel like our only use right now is sheer body count and to be harvested for resources in a post-rev world, the latter being punishment for what we've done to the world

    am i correct or just pessimistic? forgive me if my thoughts come off as off-putting but my frustrations toward my species leaves me wanting the global south to have a proper form of revenge
