"Sir, Chief Malik hit the thread."

They know what it's like to have your human rights be taken away.

Haven't had them in like 500 years tbh

Proximity to whiteness.
Latinos, Asians, and so on will be (or already are) considered "white" before black people.

Depends on your understanding of whiteness. The very fabric of this country at the lowest fundamental level is built off of and operates off black oppression which is also whtie supremacy. From important aspects of an entire branch of the government (The police with the executive branch) and how presidential candidates are even elected(the electoral college only exists because africans wanted to increase their voting power). The entire concept of America itself is inseparable from African and indigenous oppression, not even as just the origin story but in practice, past or present that's just how it works. It's why the country can't really exist without pillaging the global south as well, how else do you expect a country that was built that way to work ?

Despite all of this, there is NO shortage of star spangled banner negroes(ESPECIALLY POST OBAMA), which is trying to be white. The africans that were enslaved on the continent have been in proximity to europeans and been shaped by them for literal centuries. Pretty much everything whites have done, Africans here have done in order to fit in. From owning slaves(here in the USA, not just the ones that sold them from Africa), participation in indigenous genocide(the buffalo soldiers that black people like to celebrate), to being the police(black police officers are no less racist towards black people than whites ones btw), to being front line in american imperialism with the military (even when you exclude the draft and the socioeconomic conditions that can cause a lot of black people to join).

Black people vote for dem without a second thought because that's who's marketing to them and according to a study I remember reading, peer pressure(a lot of black people are identical to white evangelicals of the open anti black racism).

To sum it all up, proximity to whiteness is debatable, especially if it are talking about people coming from non western aligned countries.

One last thing I will say is that the now constant framing of the likes of Andrew Tate as a "kind hand" and women as the meanies venting about their experiences with men is deeply concerning.

Terminally online progressives absolutely had a part in turning off young men, just men in general. Why was Trump able to run on idpol when Kamala didn't even campaign on it? She barely mentioned it! She focused on the working class! So why was that anti-LGBT ad from Trump the signature ad of this cycle? Because the majority of people now digest their information via the internet and social media. Cable news averages like 1 mlllion viewers and the average age is 65. The majority of people get their news online. And what's been most prevalent online the past several years?

Person #1: You have to agree with me on these 100 issues no matter what
Person #2: I'm totally with you on 99 of them but man I'm a little iffy on that last one
Person #1: You're an awful human being and should be shunned from society
Person #2: Alright peace ✌️

Kamala's campaign was on point. I'm so damn proud of what she pulled off given the circumstances. She focused on the right things that the vast majority of Americans care about but it didn't matter because the party's attached to the hip to a perpetually angry, toxic, all-or-nothing, virtue signaling hellscape that 90% of Americans, average everyday folks, can't relate to whatsoever.

I don't see any way out of this. We've lost an entire generation of men, probably multiple generations. We're completely fucked.

Every single time the term Latinx comes up, a bunch of Latinos (sorry, Latinx) people mention how they think it's a dumb term and don't like it. And every single time the yts around tell them to shut up and know their place.

Being fair, there are some weird and really stupid Latinos that would push for that term.

Real women should be seen but not heard energy in here.

Dawg all of society does that, men and women. This is a reckoning for how we all emotionally and intellectually neglect young boys and then expect them to be perfect and navigate an increasingly complex world that no longer caters to them and ignores them while the Andrew Tates and social media have monied interests to target and radicalize them.

There are 900 Andrew Tate posts so I'm not gonna paste them all..

They don't understand the most obvious shit.  Tate's grift works because he says there are things you can do to better yourself, here take my course.  Buy my workout supplements.  Read my books.  Do this, do that. You're poor?  You're bad with women?  Every problem has a solution, do what I tell you.  If your alternative is, "Men are inherently fragile, toxic, part of a culture that diminishes women" or whatever generalized, macro level, bullshit you use to take the individual and his effort out of the mix, you lose.  If you're tempted to characterize the behavior of men in relation to women as negative, you're going to lose them, because that generality has no bearing on the individual man that is voting.  It's that simple.  People don't want to be told that they are what the group they belong to generalizes to.   Men want to feel empowered, that they can change things.  It's emasculating to be told what to do and who you are, and to just accept a lot in life you're not satisfied with.  Masculine traits involve carving out a path for yourself, making decisions, etc not begging on Kofi for Lunchly meals.  Just ask a woman what she is attracted to and you'll know what masculinity is, in a general sense.  This is so simple.  All the Democratic party has to do is treat people like individuals and not assign negative characteristics to people based on the group they belong to, and let them be free to find and own their success, without hinging any conditions about how they got it on their identity instead of their efforts. We all are born with certain gifts and givens, some are truly unlucky and some have everything, but race is supposed to be an arbitrary meaningless characteristic.  If you want to make identity a focal point of your campaign, don't complain when latinos and blacks who couldn't care less about that shit are moving in a different direction.

All these comments are really enlightening why Kamala lost. Democrats hate themselves. Republicans don't give a shit about their candidate and vote regardless. Democrats would rather argue over bullshit. This same thread would be very different a month or even a week ago.

I'm going to take a break from politics for a while for my mental health.

My takeaways:

5) we used to be the cool party. We aren't. We're seen as the no fun allowed tipper gore cancel culture party by large swaths of young men. I don't know how to fix this without compromising our values. But it needs to be.

I mean, you literally can't.  

The founding fathers were wrong, freedom of speech sucks ass and we need to start being allowed to hold people accountable for being fucking morons.

So the progressive girls who would likely sleep with progressive guys more often are going to stop sleeping with the progressive guys to teach the chuds on the other side a lesson?

Let’s see how that plays out.

[railGUN]

I immediately said I'm not touching another man for the next four years at minimum upon the election being called. Ain't got time to die from an ectopic pregnancy. Too many conventions to attend.

Newsfeed plz.

[BananaBlast]

No wonder why a open bigot like Trump is more refreshing than the contempt barely hidden racism of sites like ERA:

“It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican!” Vs “Latinos and Asian can pass white, so they can vote whatever. ” 

Both are repugnant both at least Trump is “honest”.

It's the sheer hypocrisy that makes woke progressive racism so deplorable. No kind of racism is good, of course, but the act of becoming this delusional holier-than-thou woke crusader that sets insane standards for what's considered racist, and then doubling back to say something pretty racist is truly disgusting. Like don't say gypped or mexican standoff, or else you're racist. Don't you dare criticize anything this queer AFAB non-binary person for saying something insane, or else you're just a racist white dude.

And then a minority does something not approved by the woke hivemind, they'll sneak in the most backhanded racist shit you've ever heard. Like calling a black man a tap dancing knee-grow, or saying asians and latinos are white passing enough that they're just white trash with a little spice in them. Can't forget that one insane shitlib white woman that called Clarence Thomas the actual n-word just because he was made the poster child for rolling back abortion rights.

Also, there's no consistency to it either. One minute you can get banned for criticizing the CCP, the next minute you're allowed to call South Korea a misogynistic incel hellhole because of Stellar Blade. Then again, morrigan got banned for losing a mexican stand off against Gene Park, while Dice got a pass for implying the same thing. Again, no consistency.

The very act of collapsing literally thousands of ethnic groups and cultures under one "Black" race has had this communal effect where, no matter where you go on the planet, a Black person is very likely to relate to on some level with the political struggles of other Black peoples outside of their country, much less within it. And, given that we were never to be intended beneficiaries of these political structures, we are simply more likely to vote for the most viable leftward option by default or- failing to achieve satisfactory outcomes from that- to fall into organizing and activism instead.

There's also the fact that despite our colonization, we didn't get hit with the reservation treatment that Indigenous people suffered and shunned from society altogether. There were enough of us remaining after abolition for a multitude of reasons (funniest one being logistics; read up on how the Portuguese basically kidnapped too many Africans for them to wield physical power over them easily) that it was simply common sense to start trying to achieve some level of assimilation within the American framework.

You can tell Nepenthe hasn't met any recent immigrants from Africa. They can have harsher opinions on African American culture than all but the most racist white person. And they tend to maintain cultural ties.

[benji]

I'm just exasperated by this single sentence I need to go back to it:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/why-does-the-black-community-vote-better-than-everyone-else.1030320/page-2#post-131357013

Depends on your understanding of whiteness. The very fabric of this country at the lowest fundamental level is built off of and operates off black oppression which is also whtie supremacy. From important aspects of an entire branch of the government (The police with the executive branch) and how presidential candidates are even elected(the electoral college only exists because africans wanted to increase their voting power).

Just ignore the whole rest of this post that doesn't make sense (how is the global south being "pillaged" by benefiting from participating in global commerce?) and focus on this last sentence here.

The executive branch is literally the branch that enforces the law. Where else would the police go? What does this have to do with whiteness or white supremacy at all? What would the "executive" do in a non-white-supremacist "fabric"???

Why would the Electoral College increase "Africans" voting power? Does he mean "Africans" wanted to have more of a say in voting, so the whites created the Electoral College to stop this? Except "Africans" (aka slaves) didn't own property so wouldn't be able to vote anyway. They did vote in the North but there were barely any of them to matter to anything. And the Electoral College didn't favor either region back then, the middle states were the most populated. There was no conception of popular national voting for a national leader, this simply didn't exist as a thing anywhere in the world. Plus it wasn't possible! The states didn't hold their elections in the same month even! The EC reflects this, the states would hold their elections, then later the electors would send in who they thought should be President and Congress would count it when they finally met. Plus the Slave States were benefited by the Electoral College because of the 3/5ths compromise counting slaves towards representation, they got more House seats than they should have had, so they got more EC votes. The Northerners didn't want to count slaves at all, but this wasn't because they were on The Right Side of History, it's because they wanted a bigger share of House seats. You might as well say Congress only exists because "Africans" wanted to increase their voting power because the EC matches Congress exactly but meets for only a single purpose.

Totally a gibberish sentence with absolutely no understandable meaning and yet you know people there are just nodding at the radical wisdom "they" don't want you to know.

After all, your original cultural ties were destroyed. Whatever ethnic group you were in, you have no record of. You now all speak English. You're now all reading the white man's Bible. You're now all under the white man's laws. And you've got no hope of going back to Africa because where in Africa would you even go? All you've got in this world is other "Black" people right here. So you all stick together. You start forging ways to scrounge up a dignified existence. You start learning how to protect yourself because whites will literally will burn your town down because it existed too hard for their liking. You fundamentally understand you have fuck all to gain from trying to appeal to these crazy-ass folks. So voting patterns naturally follow and largely become part of a cultural milieu based upon survival and self-preservation.

Other groups like East Asians and non-Black Hispanics don't have that experience. Many believe proximity to whiteness is a valid goal to ascribe to, that the capitalism that continues to fuck over Black people is the best we can do, and thus are more likely to have political splits within American politics. Granted, don't think this means Biden was right and Black folks don't actually have a rich and varied political history and are this monolith. We've always fought with each other over culture. And we've always fought with each other on the best ways to attain freedom and liberation, and we've always been quite amenable to communalism, socialism, communism, and other alternative ways of organization. Some of the tenets of these political systems are actually ingrained in Black culture just as a matter of distributing resources better.

It's just that most of us know to keep it together when we're in front of the rest of y'all.

I can debunk this nonsense with a single sentence: Blacks switched to the Democratic Party when it was still the party of Jim Crow and remained the party of Massive Resistance.

[benji]

Completely meaningless sentences or tautologies about every group in human history.

edit: The other possibility is that it's a heinously racist statement about non-Black people.

ALSO  

This bitch is the one who wrote tons of posts about how Black people all over the globe are unified by their skin color and all love Lucio and Forspoken and so need to rise up to place yts and yt adjacents in slavery for a few centuries, now she's using Black to mean purely and solely Black Americans and describing them as uniquely special extra-Black Black people.

[benji]

Other groups like East Asians and non-Black Hispanics don't have that experience. Many believe proximity to whiteness is a valid goal to ascribe to, that the capitalism that continues to fuck over Black people is the best we can do, and thus are more likely to have political splits within American politics.

Actually, the reason is because East Asians and Hispanics have massively more first and second generation Americans, their lineage in America can be traced back to sometimes this same century. The lineage of Blacks goes back centuries like WASPs. And unlike whites there's been no comparable immigration from Africa as there has been the rest of Europe to be lumped into the same census group like all whites, Asians and Hispanics stupidly are.

It's remarkable how ignorant she is.

EDIT: AND FOR SOMEONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE A MASSIVE MATERIALIST ARGH     

Blacks voting patterns are easily explained for the same reason as Irish and Italians in the past, they vote Democratic because Democrats control the cities and that's where they live.

THIS IS WHY THEY SWITCHED PARTIES AFTER MOVING NORTH
