Like I’m talking about a burning house in the US, and “but there are burning houses in other countries too you USAmerican centrist”.

Wonderful, thank you for your input, none of the burning houses were helped from this.

You are right, I was wrong, I should have said “all black Americans”.

You don’t have to deal with internalized racism because you could put out a good dunk instead.

I haven’t met Kamala Harris. If you use one establishment Democrat to inform your opinion of all black people, you’re probably going to end up inexcusably ignorant.

The cure is ignorance is fostering friendships with people on a personal level, listen with the intent of understanding their struggle. Leftist spaces are not doing a good enough job of giving black voices a space and y’all are using Kamala as your excuse to keep it that way.

That’s really weird, do you live in a super conservative area that happens to have black and indigenous people that talk foreign policy to people very quickly after meeting them?

I live in a very diverse, working class, mostly leftist area, all of my friendship circles are extremely critical of America’s foreign policy.

Why is your local community so pro-Imperialism?

I have not met a single BIPOC individual who supports America’s foreign policy, have you?

How did BIPOC do it to themselves when they were either here first and had their land stolen from them, or were forcibly shipped over against their will, and had little to no rights until very recently, and still have generations of oppression to overcome.

It’s already a less safe place for BIPOC in the US. I get it, status quo sucks, but it can and will get worse.

Yo this is pretty insanely racist. Most black men don’t have crypto investments, they just want to be allowed to walk and breathe without a trigger happy pig using them for target practice.

Fascists have for a while now been appropriating leftist talking points and aesthetics, which at best muddies the water, and at worst gives fascists outright control.

Reddit was already priming for that before the election.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Democrats won and still blamed Gaza protestors for the turnout not being higher.

It’s WAY worse than that, the implication is that “political correctness” is not actually correct, and the correct/natural/default position is to be racist/white supremacist/homophobic/transphobic, and these have to be disguised purely for the purpose of being politically savory.

So if you aren’t being racist you aren’t being correct - you’re being politically correct.

Yes it’s absolutely ghoulish.

I said it months ago here: establishment Dems love to lose. They still have all their power and privilege, none of the responsibilities, the GOP can make everything even more cushy and privileged for establishment like them, and they get to complain and blame everything on the GOP even while reaping the benefits.

Literally there are no downsides to establishment Dems losing to the GOP.

I found yours, yours is just like gibberish.

You are here presenting the situation as if it was a sudden development, rather than a known risk from the start. You are also presenting it as a definite certainty. Neither of these presentations are correct.

No, risk is a spectrum, like everything. The level of risk changes based on the situation. Jack found it to be an acceptable level of risk, the situation changed, the risk got higher, and it was no longer acceptable to him.

I was presenting a hypothetical situation where risk was the absolute maximum because I want people to use their heads and think about it, and maybe break out of the snearing circlejerk bubble for a second.

Like the anonymous Jane Doe lawsuit from the woman who wasremovedd by Trump when she was 14? She dropped it after numerous threats from Trump and her supporters and I don’t blame her at all. I don’t expect Jane Doe to put her and her families life on the line either.

This is the way.

I’m ignoring them because aren’t good faith? I didn’t say “Jack Smith is literally in this situation”, I’m just pointing out how easy it is for armchair revolutionaries to snear from the sidelines when it’s not their necks on the line.

You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn’t special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?

Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say “Well I at least stand firm in my ideals”?

The average Black and Indigenous person in America does not think this way. The average Muslim, Arab, or even Asians in general most likely do not think this way. Communists organize the most marginalized and oppressed, not fully invested liberals.

I agree 100%, I’ve been making a point of following BIPOC leftist content creators, because I’ve noticed leftists communities are still very white, the most followed leftist content creators are still mostly white, and it bothers me. I think we need more amplification of BIPOC voices within all leftist communities.

Trump has already threatened his family. It’s a privilege to fight for your ideals when you get to stay anonymous and not have your loved ones directly targeted by powerful people, you don’t have to face the same kind of consequences. I can’t really blame him for not wanting his wife and kids in immediate danger.
