@Jaden3@StillIRise1963@Callalily@rejinl Biden definitely wasn’t doing it for me I wasn’t gonna vote for him or encourage my friends to vote for him but if Kamala speaks out against Israel and listens and acts on progressive issues and low income issues and racial issues for the better she might win my vote and I might advocate to vote for her.personally want 2 wait & see what she campaigns on
would be nice 2 see libs put more pressure on #Biden rather than celebrating him & trying 2 frame him as something he’s not which is a “bold savior” He’s a bitchass lobster n power & he’s slightly less shit than Donald trump Libs should mayb consider the reality that a candidate framed as slightly less shit just isn’t enough 4 people who are tired of eating shit it should be remembered that joe has shown he’s ok with killing thousands & feeding people shit He made that his reputation on his own
#Biden keeps throwing money at the problem to help a privileged few who meet the requirements to get federal aid but that’s not gonna address the root causes of the disease that has plagued America since the settler colonies were established, natives were killed, and slaves were sold on this land. He practically ignores the idea of a wealth tax, reparations, and ending homelessness. But yet he will save “democracy”.
I wouldn’t underestimate student protesters like myself the system has been grinding all of our futures to destabilization.
Honestly we don’t know the future but I imagine my peers and I might be able to achieve goals that go above and beyond electoral politics or voting in the next war criminal -oops I mean president- into office
But if we don’t have a revolutionary imagination we will never be free
@anarchopunk_girl me personally as someone who also has criticism I speak in an open dialogue about what I don’t think is going to be a useful tool in keeping the marginalized communities on the fedi safe and I say do be loud about your disagreement but maybe also don’t be fast to say racism can’t be playing a part when it’s an undercurrent around everyone life on the globe and just try to navigate that criticism acknowledging that power dynamic & diverse experiences r at play
@anarchopunk_girl I hope people step back & reflect on different perspectives& what they might not be seeing as a white trans person that a black trans person can see.Cuz all white people r participants in racism whether they like it or not & racism has also been causing ongoing suffering on this planet like humans are gonna spread BS others won’t grasp they may recognize em as mistakes sometimes. But effort be made 2 rectify conflict by different responsibility & experiences
@anarchopunk_girl I just read your longer post & I mainly agree I was on mastodon.art but left cuz the admin blocking system seemed unfair to me I think my problem is the mainly white people dismissing the racism as a driving factor playing a role and manipulating how the fedi deals with criticism even behind real issues I take with fedi yes racism is playing a role in this dynamic even with the people in good faith cuz the scale of antiblackness and it’s effect is out of our control
@anarchopunk_girl not very fimilar with the situation but I feel i don’t have a problem if people don’t like the blocklist but like let people who do use it and they’re has been racist harrassment hurled at a black gender nonconforming programmer when the project is much larger than that and this is all conflict going on during a genocide that doesn’t negate the harm this conflict has caused or the genocide. A lot of harrassment has been directed at someone because their black
@anarchopunk_girl even if people want to reject that fact him being black and gender nonconforming still plays a big role on how he’s getting treated for the failings and mistakes of the code rather than other contributors and people reading so blindly into the intentions of why the blocklist looks as it does including structural mistakes without knowing what’s going on BTS when the reality is people get to block people for whatever reasons imagined narratives or not
