Everyday I find another reason to smile at her downfall. Settlers applies to POC as much as it does white people. (Some) Black Americans really think genocide isn’t something to withhold a vote over.

This in addition to the “how do I report my neighbor for being an illegal immigrant/ I want to report a lady I know for getting an abortion” posts on reddit really shows the reality of blue MAGA.

    I just learned these screenshots came from BlackPeopleTwitter

    In which case every single comment was made by a white person and 95% of the upvotes were from white people, folks don’t remember but back in 2018-19 BPT was outed as one of the most astroturfed and demographically deceptive subs on the website, it is without a doubt the largest digital blackface forum on the internet, aside from maybe r/hiphopheads

    The leaked polls back in 2019 revealed the sub is 90% white

    The revisionism on January 6th is still wild to see,

    January 6th didn’t succeed because it was done by a bunch of losers without a single coherent idea on why they were doing it and what to do after doing it,

    I believe a majority of the rioters were just moved by the energy of the mob around them and they weren’t about to ‘end democracy’ or whatever, it’s pretty tiring seeing it compared to the Beer Hall putsch

    One of the funniest things to me is that my position towards libs in real life was:

    I am an immigrant, who came here via asylum. I will not vote for anyone who prevents people from seeking asylum. The Biden administration has effectively destroyed asylum in the US, that is illegal under international law. Kamala Harris is campaigning on the Biden border policy.

    Nobody could actually fucking answer to that. It was glorious to watch the cogs turn, because I knew in the back of their mind was the racist thought of throwing me out of the country because I’m “disloyal” or “ungreatful”. They just could not say that out loud in polite company.

      Wish I coulda conversed with you. I think this type of logic and break down is what a lot of people need. Not so much cause of arrogance or anything of the sort. But more so cause of the cognitive dissonance in our society.

    “You don’t get it, I have to support or be tacitly complicit in genocide, otherwise I’ll be genocided” is a truly stellar argument. There’s even a poem about it:

    First they came for the communists, and I didn’t say anything because I voted strategically for Hitler
    Then nothing happened and that was that.

    Making sweeping proclamations about black americans being genocide apologists and settlersoff a couple reddit comments is just as insane as libs attacking latinos or other minorities for trump.

    Pretty sure the vast majority of black americans support palestine, more than any other demographic. But u/LeResist decided to make an opinion on behalf of all black americans so we have to jump the debate bro logic like excited dogs.

    I honestly think most people would highly benefit from reading A Workbook for Arguments: A Complete Course in Critical Thinking

    The amount of cognitive dissonance and logical fallacy among these chains of reasoning and “arguments” (and I am using the word argument very generously here) is astounding.

    Successive waves of immigration also played a role in reinforcing American ideology. The immigrants were certainly not responsible for the poverty and oppression that lay behind their departure for the United States. But their emigration led them to give up collective struggle to change the shared conditions of their classes or groups in their native countries, and adopt instead the ideology of individual success in their adopted home. Adopting such an ideology delayed the acquisition of class consciousness. Once it began to mature, this developing consciousness had to face a new wave of immigrants, resulting in renewed failure to achieve the requisite political consciousness. Simultaneously, this immigration encouraged the “communitarianization” of U.S. society. “Individual success” does not exclude inclusion in a community of origin, without which individual isolation might become insupportable. The reinforcement of this dimension of identity—which the U.S. system reclaims and encourages—is done to the detriment of class consciousness and the forming of citizens. Communitarian ideologies cannot be a substitute for the absence of a socialist ideology in the working class. This is true even of the most radical of them, that of the black community.

    The full piece is well worth a read, and not too long.

        The article is more of an overview/summary of Amin’s thoughts from 2017, it’s quite general and wider in scope than just that. But reading the full piece will place the quote in the appropriate context with regards to the US electoral system and structure.

      There’s an expose on the federalist (gross, I know) showing the harris campaign’s reddit brigade operation coordinated on discord.

    The thing these people need rubbing on their faces is that they endorsed genocide, a hard right immigration policy, zero commitment on reproductive rights AND STILL LOST. You fucking sold your soul for nothing, you fucking losers. All you achieved was adding your voices to the chorus of “more racist violence, please”.
