What I find most interesting here wrt to like marxism, and leftism, and even global south activism, is how a.) european voices have dominated these spaces and b.) european countries/people/etc., are not held accountable for any form of oppression, imperialism, etc.

Like some of the loudest voices in global south marxism here, are almost always white women from Australia, New Zealand England, Russia, Ukraine, Poland, France, etc (and it's usually the same group of white racists women and their non-white friends who just bend over for them and let them speak over them/on their issues). I just find tumblr leftism so funny, because you have people from countries known for islamaphobia, racism, imperialism, violence, etc., being given platforms of marxist spaces, global south spaces, etc., without ever having to acknowledge their own privilege, or their country's contribution to global violence, etc. There are literally English nationalists in these spaces, and activist from the global south on here platform them and listen to them above, let's say an indigenous american person for the united states.

I just find it interesting that a white Brit or Frenchman is seen as an acceptable voice for activism, equality, leftist, etc., over like an indigenous american or a black american. and let me reiterate, no activist from those european places i mentioned are ever held accountable for their own oppression, privilege or their country's imperialism.

Literally, one of the many ways disabled people are abused/forced into conservatorships.

no disabled person should have their parents be their only choice for support/caregivers. it’s not a privilege to be stuck with them and you don’t have to be grateful.

Want to help get aid to Palestinians? I have just the fundraiser for you!

Eyad Al-Anqar and his brother created the Ever Mile Foundation, which distributes aid and water specifically to Palestinians with YOUR generous donations. They have successfully distributed water multiple times thanks to ongoing help and donations, and you can help them do it!!

If you can't donate right this minute, we understand, but if you could share this post, that would be a BIG help too!

Eyad's vetting is underneath the gofundme link

like just making up random reasons to defend a contrary opinion does not make you smart, a visionary, or correct. ai is a labor issue, poverty issue, environmental issue, intellectual property issue, etc etc etc and trying to downplay that just makes u look dumb

i kind of feel like if you take "don't bomb iran" as an endorsement of the iranian government, you're not intellectually ready to engage in conversations about real-world politics. Go talk about steven's universe instead

there is a vast amount of white european lefitsts on here who think that their countires are a.) not imperial cores an b.) are some utopias who have no power, or who have not made a negative impact on the world around them.

nevermind the fact that acting like their countries are flawless, homogenous promised lands that allow them to scoff on americans, but so many european countires are racist, have colonized the world, were/are imperial cores, etc.

america is an english colony. and even then, parts of america are french and spanish colonies - each of those two countries have pillaged, raped and destroyed half of the world and are imperial cores in their own right. they all enabled america. and lbr, people from those countries are racist af.

they will say 'amerikkkan' and when you ask them to give you detailed history of the kkk, and why it was started, and who it went after, crickets. and sometimes they know but they don't care. they don't give a fuck about black people but take our lingo, our language, our activism, etc. truly fuck them and their dumb revolutionary movements.

putting amerikkkan on a shelf until nonblacks globally know how to act stop using that phrase on black people literally use any other phrase u cannot be using phrases we create to talk about the specific violence we face from our white peers here in a way to imply we were the perpetrators of our own destruction all along its tone deaf and unintelligent, callous too but yall dont rlly care if ur needlessly mean to black people bc that ofcourse is the intention when u misuse words like that

posts like this from white europeans are so funny, because you have people in replies who are indigenous, black, etc., telling you that in spite of this. the country is still diverse.

white leftists, esp those who aren't from the us (ESPECIALLY if they're european) have this thing where they bring up black and indigenous people as hypotheticals, as if we don't exist, while talking about our oppression, and speaking over us. there are indigenous people in this persons comments saying that america is still diverse; black people saying that america is diverse and we area all getting ignored.

Like we are TELLING you we exist, and you IGNORE us.

[ebondays]

You guys say stuff like this, and whenever black, indigenous or latin/chicano americans tell you that we are actually divided by culture, heritage, etc., you completely ignore us.

white europeans should never ever speak on american culture, or the continent, or whether or not it's homogenous or not. you just sound racist and like a white supremacist

americans really love pointing out that the US is big and like. im sorry you're talking about "cultural differences" that i'd experience by going to a different city in a different province except yours span like a quarter of a continent, im mocking the fact that your culture is uniquely homogenous *in spite* of its size

If a regional war breaks out between Iran and Israel, Gaza will be forgotten. We will continue to suffer this suffering and will not be mentioned in anything. We will be forgotten forever.

Obviously not expecting a (white) American site to gaf about today so lemme talk a bit more about Windrush Day and the Black British experience:

I feel like the Black British experience is constantly one of work and struggle. Our parents and grandparents lived through colonial and post colonial (using the term lightly) rule just to end up working and serving the imperial core, targeted by the same government that invited them here. A lot of the time its phrased as a choice but in reality what else could they have done? Ts and Cs apply bc for some West African Brits their parents were middle class back home but for me and others our families grew up in poverty in places still recovering from slavery and colonialism.

Britain whitewashes the history of Black immigrants, literally in the sense we're not taught our own history of Black people in Britain and metaphorically by applying British individualist myths; that as long as you work hard, don't complain about it and love Britain you can be British too. But it erases, ignores and distorts the truth that the British state used our community as nothing more than a labour force to rebuild after WWII and actively targeted Black British communities with police surveillance, brutality and systemic racism. All whilst denying it of course and turning their nose up at the very accusation. Very British.

Black British contributions, West African and West Indian to be more specific don't just apply in terms of work but in terms of shaping culture. 'Roadman' has become a meme and a caricature (including by some Americans on here ik u lot love 'chav') with barely any connection to its Black British roots, even when the term gets used as an insult to mainly Black working class men or used as a British version of 'thug'. The grime scene is undeniably a staple of Black Britain yet it is pathologised and judged, moral panics about Black people's violence and yet capitalised and profitted off of by non Black Brits as an aesthetic. Everybody wants the tracksuits, the tunes and the terminology innit. To be 'road' means to be Black British yet when its time to talk culture, nobody wants to credit it us. All of a sudden its 'London culture'.

But it isn't all doom and gloom. There's so much history and culture here in our spaces. I'd be lying if I said growing up where I did was easy. But it has shaped my outlook and made me and I'll carry that with me forever. Our grandparents and parents came here with so little and made so much out of nothing. And I'll always honour that. Justice for the Windrush generation.

Unfortunately, if you can stomach it, going through Iran tag is a free blocklist of any western idiot wailing ww3 as more minority deaths happen from the comfort of their homes. The blog will be home to resources for another cause now. There will be people displaced by this insidious turn of events. White people everywhere just aren't content with killing one kind of brown person at a time anymore. My heart goes out to anyone following me from Iran. May God save us all.

The number of whites that treat AAVE like simlish instead of an actual dialect with specific rules, etc. is maddening actually

[ebondays]

until you can start actually seeing the way that transmascs & men who were cafab are able to leverage common-held misogynistic ideas of female fragility & inherent victimhood to downplay their own sexism and potential for wrongdoing for what it is; a male privilege of its own right, just one that cis men can’t use; your gender politics are inevitably going to go to the shitter when you start trying to work transness into the fold

i need russian communists / marxists to never speak on black, indigenous or latino us americans

@kinuskikakku

You being amab has nothing to do with you benefiting from the partriarchy, and acting like you being AMAB is you inherently being dangerous or a threat, is very harmful and that is terf langauge. You guys need to stop equating asab to men, because that is transmisogynstic and bioessentialist. I'm sorry, is all I can say. Idk who told you in your queer journey, that your birth sex equated to you being inherently oppressive, or that you are somehow a threat to people who are not AMAB. I say this as someone who *is* afab (and I HATE using afab/amab but it's important for this convo). But whoever has been feeding you this, is a terf. Even if they are trans.

There are afab gay and enby men who also benefit from the patriarchy. There are afab gay and enby men who have made me, a trans gender queer person, feel very unsafe, and uncomfortable for my life, and they benefit from the patriarchy. Them suddenly being afab doesn't take away the fact that they are men. Likewise, you are a nonbinary gay person, you being AMAB shouldn't ever, at all, be a defining part of who you are as a person, and how you navigate your life. Why does what is between your legs, or your birth sex determine who you are? If people are making you feel bad for being AMAB and making you feel like you have to protect them, be careful around them or be mindful so you don't hurt/scare them, then DROP them. they are not your friends, they are abusing you, and they are exposing you to self hate waaay down the line.

It is very very harmful to assume that someone being amab makes them inherently misogynstic or benefitting from the patriarchy. Like, a femme gender queer person who is woman aligned, or woman who just so happens to be amab, does not benefit from the patriarchy by the sake of being amab.

AMAB =/= men. AMAB =/= male privilege.

If you are in groups where people are telling you that AMAB people are inherently misogynstic or that you as a QUEER NONBINARY amab person have some privilege over them, you need to get OUT of those groups, and fast. Becauase this is only going to lead you into a spiral of abuse, self hatred and gender confusion.

Trans fems, whether they are closeted or not, do not benefit from the patriarchy. Nonbinary feminine people, who are fully out as feminine/woman aligned do not benefit from the patriarchy.

In fact AMAB trans people are actually the most murdered, brutalized and abused in the trans community. The amount of black, latin and indigenous transfems world wide who have been murdered and have gone missing, far surpassed any other group in the trans community. They do not benefit from the patriarchy.

OP even goes up to bring up that TRANS MAN who are afab, benefit from the patriarchy.

It is not about what is in between your legs, and if people are telling you that, they are terfs. Especially if you are a nonbinary trans person, and they are making you think that you are somehow , someway, still connected to your birth sex, or that is somehow a defining, negative part of you.

This might sound harsh but i am REALLY REALLY trying to help you.

AND this is coming from an ex- furry. I know how BIG bio/gender language is in those communities. I know how whenever someone sexist/misogynstic happens, how quickly furry spaces are to pull the "protect AFABs", and those posts are very terfy because they exclude misogyny affected people who are not afab. and we are once again, basing everything on our birth sex.

Drop your friends, because you are being emotionally abused even if you don't realize it. If you are in a relationship with someone who is making you feel this way, break up with them, i'm so serious.

@kinuskikakku

we can't even get a basic "all men structurally benefit from a misogynist society" to pass on this website without a bunch of queer men shooting themselves into a panic cause they get too uncomfortable about the idea of being culpable to self reflect. "feminist" website
