... courage and time to do so.
Thanks for being a communist.
Sending you all Valentines in 2 weeks.
A note to folks in this thread:
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.
I think people here are predominantly the former and not the later. The later is just rank liberalism. Important distiction though
Every one here is a liberal except me
The latter definitely exists
Ah but have you considered that I want to self deprecate in a way that aligns with my political values?
Hating yourself for being white aligns with your political values?
Did I miss something in State and Revolution?
Be a race traitor.
its okay you can name them
It's terrible because if I wanted to be something other than white all the things I might have felt any associated with are claimed by white supremacy. Like, damn. Which is worse being proud white or proud of you british ancestry?
That's not entirely true. There's a lot of folk and other culture that's solidly left wing and associated with the working classes. It's just mostly more english/welsh/cornish/scottish than british specifically.
Even then if you want to enjoy 19th century sea shanties it's fine, there are people to be proud of if you look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.
I've been trying to deprogram the whiteness out of myself. Like I resent the fucking concept of whiteness and what it has done to me personally and the world generally. Fuck racists for thinking I share any common bond with them based on some phrenology-ass category.
Maybe it sounds weird, but I've found it helps to focus on my actual ethnic "heritage".
