transcription: literally any marginalized person: “wed like to have some rights"please.” cishet white men: “theyre gonna hung me for sport?”

    Yea, this hate for white men alone is weird. I’ve heard nastier shit from women in my many years.

    It’s almost like anyone can be a hateful piece of shit, and drawing these hard lines does nothing but help keep people separate.

      This is ABSOLUTELY correct but only half the equation. Assholes come from everywhere, but white male assholes from the colonial era engineered a system that pegs your ability to ACT on that horridness to your proximity to their racial and gender group. And the assholes in successive generations of said white men have made it their lives’ work to maintain those lines and stay powerful.

      Everyone has the capacity to be horrible, it’s just that this specific group set up extensive infrastructure for it.

        Ehhhhhh you’d be surprised to learn that white supremacy hasn’t been the only ‘supremacy’ to hit main stream throughout history…

          No, I would not. You can go to India and see them profile people based on their surname and neighborhood of birth, right now. Brahmans bitch about reverse casteism the same way Republicans bitch about reverse racism. In China, Han supremacy has them doing a genocide, right now. You could turn back the clock and look at old timey racism, which is a fundamentally different beast from modern racism as it cared about cultural mores and birthplace, skin color being tertiary. As the Romans famously put it, “you’re either a Roman or you’re a barbarian.”

          All of this misses the point I had made. White supremacy is an international political and cultural system that enables and encourages assholes. That’s not always how it’s been, it’s not the only system in the world, but right here right now, it sets them and anyone who abides the system that empowers them apart for scrutiny.

      I’d assume that women are more worried about being gang raped than about being hunted for sport. Big talking point for far righters, at least here in Europe (nevermind that actually, most rapes happen between people with personal connections).

        Do what I do, and never leave your house unless you have to.

        This is why I will be one of the last humans alive. I can sit and survive almost forever, in almost any conditions.

        I don’t want smoke, don’t care about being better than anyone, don’t care about dating, or any of that life stuff people want.

        I see everything I get from humans as only a bonus, and I try to avoid buying anything from humans if it can be helped. Meaning, if I grow food, or have stored food, I prefer to eat that first. If my device works, I will keep it on life support until it is a brick. If I do have to buy something new, I buy the highest quality possible. I kill debt as soon as I can, prioritizing it over food, luxuries, even healthcare and hygiene rn.
