hot take, feel free to dunk but holy shit, all the posts from white people being like "let's kill all the white people" is insufferable "i'm one of the good ones!" nonsense and it really should stop

saying something this edgy does not absolve you of bigotry
edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can't make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:
It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.
It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.
that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i'm not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.
You're viewing a single thread.
white people can't help but fantasize about genocide even when it's to themselves
but on a serious note I think for some users it crosses into suicidal ideation and that makes me very uncomfortable
Yeah cause if you say stuff like that around right wingers they'll just say you're doing reverse racism. And if you say it around liberals they'll say it's too violent and uncivil. It's an insult that only works on people who already agree with you.
And even if people understand rationally that it's jokes, it's not actually racist, etc., in their heart of hearts it feels like they're unwanted even in their own niche online political subculture that they've alienated everything else in life to fit into. And since most of us are in the west there's little actual movement to be a part of, so it is just alienating and lonely. That's the only reason this website exists.
If people don't fit in with normal people in their lives and they don't fit in even in the weird niche they have left, what's left? And the response is who cares about white tears, why prejudice the comfort of white people over liberation for oppressed minorities. Which makes sense...but it making sense doesn't make you not feel bad about it.
Obviously the real answer is to not care at all about anything anyone posts online. Because it's all fake and silly. I don't know anyone here. But if it's okay to make jokes about the mayocide, I should be allowed to joke about starting it locally on myself
Dang the alienating bit was rough, you hit a friendly on the way
