i feel like enough time as passed where we can be honest about this but maybe not

i think i have an idea of where the "trans girl nazi phase" trope came from, it probably had something to do with disq's open federation policy and how E. regularly interacted with say, the admin of shitposters.club, an open trump supporter and basic chud, and how them and similar instances like worm.pink were on this freespeech edgelord trip where they were constantly boosting and interacting with various reactionary instances that were blocked by everyone else, or tolerated right wing thinking in their midst, etc.

So maybe putting disq and other aligned instanced on TBS wasn't just part of a transphobic plot, maybe they had been flagged because of these associations. i thought disq were on some red-brown shit when i first encountered them, until i got to know them and realied they're really just lonely shit libs with no principles, they lack the self awareness to be rightist infiltrators.

idk maybe operating a literal grey zone and putting your own members in danger ( and disq worm.pink etc. were constantly being milked by kiwifarms types ) maybe that's a bad idea

the reason #Biden continues to fund and arm #Netanyahu 's genocide in #Gaza and Bombing / Occupation of #Lebanon is because he's a corporate puppet and companies like #Raytheon #Google and #Amazon are making a fuck ton of money making arms and services for Israel to commit genocide. Along with him being a racist islamohobe of course, but the structure of the US corporate state incentivizes genocide because it's extremely profitable.

@FinalOverdrive@kolektiva.social yeah it's tough, there is is a lot of psychological defenses and rationaliations built up specifically to deny, ignore, or justify whiteness, i think there is such a thing as tact or how we approach issues can vary greatly, because people are very different in their cognitive abilities or philosphies or whatever, and when we deal with people en mass you have to account for different perspectives, there's differences, for example, between what you might call the naive (young) white wealthy people who just taking the world they've lived for granted, there's also white people who are self-consciously racist but pretend not to be racist publicly, or people who have deep-seated racist prejudices and insecurities on varying levels of denial. Really an entire typology could be made of all the different degrees or categories of racist whites.

yes there is no way around but through as you say, but there's different ways to go through it. Like Malcolm X for example never mixed works about what he thought about hte white power structure, or the mass behavior of black folks. The Black Panthers made a very thorough study of white psychology and taylored their rhetoric a certain way.. there's similarities and differences, like Stokely Carmichael called on white radicals to have "Freedom Schools" in white neighborhoods, get the whites on their side. One splinter group of SDS, RAM2 ( revolutionary action movement) iirc tried moving into industrial neighborhoods, didn't really take off i think that's where the new communist thing started ( RCP etc. absolutely cursed timeline) Anyway, i can't blame this woman for not having the charisma of Malcolm X, and perhaps just having this conversation is important even if gone about in an imperfect way, maybe she thinks she has to make compromises for the people of confronting racism and justifies all the opportunism there. She's not wrong about everything, but imo a really revolutionary analysis that takes into account the history of resistance to white western colonial order and doesn't just hide behind milquetoast reformism, it's only going to do some demographic realignment, it does not address the colonial death machine of which institutional workplace discrimination is but a symptom. but that seems to be her entire concern.

So this question of how ( exuse the mao ) progressive / advanced whites should deal with intermediate and backwards white people isndamental to politics in the US and probably any settler colonial project, and usually the force of white reaction wins, partly by coopting any resistance, these days there's a non profit system that generates career seeking opportunist huksters competing with each other for funds and with organic working class organizers for attention. So i see this as aspect of NGO industrial non-profit soft counterinsurency psyop market

@FinalOverdrive@kolektiva.social the reason malcolm x or fred hampton or angela davis are imminently right is because they're are real, they are talking about truth and justice etc. proceeding from basic principles, DiAngelo is on her own careerist bullshit which is all just psychordrama, media theatre for her to deal with her own white racism, which is pretty common in philanthropic circles, it's just a bourgeois purity trip, and it has all the qualities of american which trail, purging white people of original sin etc.

like i saw this thing in 2020 of all these white people doing some kind of ritual where they collectively renounce their white privilege*, and that seems to be the whole idea here as a self help corpo marketing book tour kinda thing

* Reminded me of Godfather I "I do renounce them"

@FinalOverdrive@kolektiva.social yeah there's a real ally industrial complex with implicit corporate liberal assumptions, which is very much tied to corporate diversity HR and PR campaigns, not that i'm against companies having diversity programs, the problem is it's capitalistic in nature and imo kinda washing the hands of these corporations who are effectively organs of the white supremacist power structure even with POC C.E.O.'s

So what people like DiAngelo are selling is a way for (White) Managers to go thru the motions of performing anti-racism and maybe even relieve them of guilt. It is not coming from the perspective of "we have to instill in whites anti racist principles so that they can be allies against White Supremacist Imperialism" So really let's be critical of who's these folks are allied with?

@FinalOverdrive@kolektiva.social Yes, like fragility is a thing, but it's also like she see's fragility behind everything

A report she gives of a typical seminar is she gets up and says "All White People Are Racist, you white person, you're racist" And then when white people react like "I'm not racist" she's like "look how fragile you are" and it's like, no, you're just bad at communicating lol, i haven't seen much evidence she's very effective at actually opening the eyes of white people to realities of white supremacy,. Corporations just hire her say they can say 'look how anti racist we are"

and notice how white feelings are ultimately at the core of her approach, and it seems the goal is to basically make white people feel okay with the knowledge they are benefactors in white supremacy, and idk if that really helps, like she teaches white people to feign concern basically

@BrahmaBelarusian@todon.eu yeah, or just 'everyone who doesn't vote is a stupid piece of shit" it's just quite bizarre, okay bud, your job is actually to persuade people who might be on the fence lmao -- and doing this shit like insulting non voters or weird QAnon esque posts about Trump faking his assassination attempt, when no one even gives a shit anymore,

i guess when you have absolutely zero "theory* or understanding of how the power structure operates you operate on a pure fantasy level, that Biden is overseeeing unprecedented prosperity or that Harris will change anything for the better.

I think for most people, actively ignoring complicity in a genocide is psycologically damaging, it fucks you up, so there's an element of mass murder leading to general social irrationality/incoherence.

can ya'll just chill the fuck out?

@georgia@netzsphaere.xyz gotta clear the poo queue

i think web 2.0 was a big counter-revolution against the colorful and diverse amateur led internet up until then, see how facebook took over from myspace and myspace was bough by rupert murdoch or some other ghoul, everything become so corporate and flattened, like how reddit destroyed the php forum.

{ Just outside the DNC we are seeing Palestinian-Americans excluded from a platform they are actively trying to be a part of. The Democratic leadership is making the decision to exclude a part of its own base at a time when Trump's defeat is nowhere near a given. As the Muslim Women for Harris-Walz group pointed out, relatives of Israeli hostages that spoke on stage - because only Israelis are allowed the right to narrate what they're going through - showed more humanity to Palestinians than the Democrats whose current leader is the one funding and arming the genocide. Bend The Arc, "the organization that is home to the largest Jewish effort focused on US democracy", is also demanding that the DNC allow Palestinian-Americans just as they have allowed Jewish-Americans.

The Democrats are refusing to hear a vetted speech - one they already approved - by Abbas Alawieh, a Palestinian-American delegate, ie one that was voted by Democrats to attend the DNC. They are excluding the doctors at the DNC who have worked in Gaza and described it as hell on Earth. They are excluding the dozens of Jewish-American groups urging them to abandon Netanyahu and prioritize a permanent ceasefire instead. As Dan Berger pointed out, this comes sixty years after the Democratic Party refused to seat the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, the party that was co-lead by Fannie Lou Hamer, the same Fannie Lou Hamer that the Democrats at the 2024 DNC keep on bringing up and praising. In her speech, Hamer said “if the Freedom Democratic Party is not seated now, I question America.” The Democrats are making the same mistake today even as they praise the woman they previously excluded. }

you liberals are really full of shit, since I'm not a teenager anymore i can't be impressed by Obama's schtick with is just vague platitudes are clever witticisms, and broad gestures towards working class interests while their whole pitch is that they are more effective managers of capitalism and imperialism.

But yeah it is a time to celebrate now that you don't have a corpse as a candidate, wow, it turns out the democratic leadership aren't complete fucking inepts afterall, they've been choosing to act that way, which honestly is worse lmao

@abolisyonista@ni.hil.ist i'm guessing it's saying that the Corleone family has invested money in corrupting internal Italian politics. They have their fingers in every pie, as they say.

In Godfather II Michael actually sympathizes with the Cuban Revolution ( he sees a revolutionary martyr himself and later comments 'they can win' in a party with Cuban mafiosi) and his coup against Hyman Roth is also a move against the anti-castro gangsters.

So maybe Michael also low key sympathizes with the communists? but it's probably just 'well the commies are actually all controlled by the Mafia" dumb American take.

I never finished III because i can't get past that scene where there's a helicopter attack on The Commission... Coppola really jumps the shark there.

@AnthonyJK@mastodon.redgarterclub.com @ThatFemboy@tech.lgbt

I really try to ignore the motherfucker, and i generally advise people to do the same, just block and ignore, because he's obviously just a troll / grifter, and people forget the old internet adage *Don't Feed the Trolls*

but one thing i will say, which has long been obvious to me, is that his whole grift is about weaponizing white guilt, this is the base of his support, liberal whites who are terrified of being called racists, so by just blindly going along with him and his friends, so they can safely say that they're one of the good ones without having to think critically or change anything they do.

no i won't, i 'm scared

girl bosses do be gaslighting

been making these jpeg portraits in gimp, it's fun easy

i don't own these images, please tell me if you know the names of any of these models

listened to the 4 part behind the bastards of #RFKjr and wow, he's truly a monster and a fraud, a true Kennedy

It's not just that he's personally anti-vax he runs one of the biggest anti-vax propaganda orgs in the world. Also a serial rapist/abuser, and overall fucked up person, bad weird.

@kaia@brotka.st honestly, yeah, a nice little relaxing break from the noise sounds nice
