The idea that "we're either we're all free or none of us our free" is apt and a point worth repeating.

I've been seeing this around in a few places, as usual it's a meaningless platitude that they don't put any thought into

we're all free to the extent that we don't break the law, I don't want the ability to be free to stay here unlawfully forever, and if I wasn't here lawfully I would be seeking ways to make it lawful

they bring up how LGBT people are supposedly less free; I don't want the "freedom" to force others to refer to me by a specific pronoun under penalty of hate speech laws, or the "freedom" to identify as whatever I want in the moment to terrorize innocent women trying to take a piss

I am perfectly fine not having a variety of freedoms that infringe on others' rights

that said I also like the freedom not to be accosted and papers please'd, but I'm not sure I already had that freedom to begin with, cops were already able to randomly detain me on a whim, it's just that the chance of that happening was always incredibly low

Nobody who uses it uses a conception of freedom in which it's even possible.

This is surely the first time that YouTube has ever done anything that has pissed off mass numbers of users or forced changes on everyone. Why would AI do this?

Just like Microsoft, NVIDIA and others, doing stupid shit that piss off others before GenAI got hot… that still not make it right.  

And again, I’m using the same reasoning of “small changes that change quality of life” like using AI to write Emails.

[Snoopy]

Prison? Please. Nobody’s going to prison. Americans are literally being filmed shooting innocent women 3 times in the face, then going for hamburgers. As for not shooting mall cops because people support deporting illegal immigrants? Wut?  Stop trying to find excuses. 
If those dumb goons tried strutting around in Belfast like that they’d be set on fire within minutes. Do you know how finicky petrol bombs are? You have to get the right bottles. They have to be the right size and not too fragile but not too heavy so you don’t strain your shoulder. You have to fill them with the right amount of petrol. Then get cloth that doesn’t burn too quickly or too slowly. Then get a decent lighter, carry the bottles to the protests, find the right vantage point, light the cloth and throw them over the cop’s riot shields. It’s a whole thing. Meanwhile all you Americans have to do is pick up one of your guns, drive to an abandoned building across from the goon house, climb a few stairs, shoot goon, go back home for hamburgers. Literally the easiest thing in the world.

 You fetishists are so fucking weird.

And yes, if you publicly murder police, especially feds, the police will send you to prison if you manage to survive when they come for you.

More excuses. They’re not real police. They’re not real federal agents. They’re failed mall cops. They’re so untrained and so stupid they actually parade in front of protestors. They wouldn’t last 5 minutes in NI. Why are you so afraid of them? You’ve got guns. Away and sort them out you pussy

[benji]

ICE agents are in fact real federal agents and murdering one would be treated the same as murdering a FBI agent.

[Boredfrom]

ICE agents are in fact real federal agents

That is depressing.

[benji]

It shouldn't be, you guys seem to be confusing the mass quick staffing up by the Trump Administration where they took anyone willingly to apply for the institution that's existed for centuries and enforced immigration and customs law all that time with the regular police powers that comes with it.

This is the point of bringing up the support for enforcing immigration law. Americans want it done. Nobody's going to abolish ICE or start murdering federal agents for the same reason they aren't going to abolish or murder the FBI just because Trump currently orders them around. They don't oppose the mission.

[Boredfrom]

American foreign policy has always been terrifying and now we are all feeling the opening salvo of what the global south has felt for decades. Let's hope we don't experience the rest of what they have gone through. Everyone one of us American "allies" have had a hand in signing off on American crimes for so long and many times even helped them. All our ledgers are totally fucked. We all helped make this bed and we all need a severe ideological shift in our world view if and when the dust settles. If post Trump I see a single fucking person urge a regime change in the global south I will lose it.

All the Canuck’s self righteousness just to end with “pls don’t dispose Maduro”.

[Propagandhim]

Man, listen...he touched upon all of the frustrations that I felt in that other thread where the non Americans felt empowered while dunking on Americans over the Trump administration. Who the fck are you to try and scold me for this country's shortcomings when we have been struggling for hundreds of years just to be viewed as human beings? My God it's refreshing to hear someone actually try to relate to our struggle from a humanitarian perspective; come off of that high horse and actually put your self in the oppressed' shoes! I'm so tired; where are the real allies? This forum is full of bad actors.

and ultimately comes to the conclusion that a politic not rooted in the insights, contributions, and interests of Black liberation is ultimately a waste of time.

100%. It's just white people/imperialists naval gazing and reinventing the wheel so they can feel progressive without having to think about or interact with people who aren't white. Whether it's due to ignorance or not, it keeps real progress from happening.

This is one very important video that encapsulates a lot.

This forum is full of bad actors.

It's less bad actors and more like people are scared at the fact that being in the West, or being white, or being well off, was not going to save them from the fascism we could see coming from a mile away due to the degradation in conditions from neoliberalism running it's course. And the reason they were blindsided is because they have no space nor care for the people this shit was already happening to, because fascism against Black people is necessary for the comfort of the West to be maintained. Universal healthcare, basic infrastructure, work from home, access to frivolous technology- all this shit is maintained off the backs of Black people, and every country in the West is extremely complicit in this oppression.

That's why I'm not moved by Europeans calling for any action to stop fascism (although that does not mean we should not fight and organize). Because where the fuck where you all for the last 500 years?

The most salient point Sang makes is the one where he states non-black people who have attained the privileges of white adjacency/acceptance don't mind being beneath white people in the hierarchy - they care more about ensuring black people remain at the bottom. It's the thing that I constantly harp on because even on here people will see a non-black minority spew anti black rhetoric and say something along the lines of, "They trying to be white", or "Haven't you looked in the mirror? You're a minority too!", completely missing the fact that they kowtow to whiteness specifically to distance themselves from blackness.

And we saw this exact thing play out on fucking national television too, didn't we? The racist season of Big Brother saw an Asian and Jewish woman outright abandon the lone black woman to fend from Ms. Aryan HoH by herself the MOMENT she accepted them into the fold. And then non-black people wonder why a (growing) contingent of black people feel we truly have no allies.

That's why I'm not moved by Europeans calling for any action to stop fascism (although that does not mean we should not fight and organize). Because where the fuck where you all for the last 500 years?

Europeans acting like they didn't invent the seeds of white supremacy that is manifest destiny and colonialist imperialism will always come across as tone deaf.

It's basically "You weren't supposed to colonize us, you morons!" Seriously, that's all I hear on this forum.

Because let's be real. Say we overthrow Trump tomorrow and forcibly return to a neoliberal stasis where everything is like the "good ol'" Obama days or some shit.

What are France and Canada actually going to do for Africa? Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Belgium? What is Australia doing for its Indigenous?

Nothing. And none of these people finally realizing fascism is a problem will actually put their lives on the line for the colonized when we eventually get out of this mess. The unspoken implication is that Black people are supposed to die for a system meant to maintain Western supremacy. And if that's the case, fuck it all.

What is Australia doing for its Indigenous?

Serious answer: dilly-dallying on truth telling, reconciliation, treaty. Indigenous people in Australia have been incredibly gracious in holding out their hand for a way forward, only for the voting mass to shun them.

The country isnt mature enough to fully acknowledge the genocides that happened here.

Good video, nothing too groundbreaking from where I'm at on my ideological/political journey but still stuff for me to chew on.

Some good, salient points in lil bill's video as well. Wish his constant, repeated use of, "Suck my ****" and other fellatio references wasn't so triggering to my trauma. So, uh, content warning for anyone else that hasn't watched that video too.

Will watch in a bit but it's true as hell. The amount of ignoring black issues is prevalent heavy in all spectrums of American politics, even the left. White Americans just refuse to listen and now chickens have come home to roost because of it, nothing is ever a problem till it affects them personally.

Thank you for this.
I'm currently reading Black Reconstruction by WEB Dubois. We been going through the same shit for a long time. White people been leaving us out of conversations about morality and humanity for a long time. We been trying to tell white people the truth for a long time

It's overwhelming to know where to start, but I found this online and plan on reading it this weekend.

I think picking any book from Black leftist and revolutionaries is a start, and reading is absolutely fundamental to understanding (I'm in the throes of Fanon now). Like, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa is foundational.

But if people want to jump in to actual direct action, it's what I've been saying time, and time, and time again: join an organization.

It doesn't matter which organization. You don't have to find the one that's perfectly aligned and ready to blow up the system today, because you can always organizational hop (many activists do this throughout their lives.) But you need to be in community learning revolutionary theory and doing revolutionary work, and that's the easiest way to start: joining in with people already doing that work.

If you ain't got a membership to something, you already on the backfoot.

What's a good way to connect with a group in a given area? I'll admit that my ignorance extends so far that I don't even know how or what to search for.

Look up groups whose political work are within topics you're interested in: anti-racism, anti-imperialism, Indigenous rights, Pan-Africanism, mutual aid and community building, anarchism, etc. etc. Google and Reddit are your best friends in this regard, but if you've got politically active friends on Discord or whatever, they should have some suggestions. Some groups that were started by older civil rights figures are still around today or have branched off/merged with other groups. The one I'm in now is like 50-something years old at this point.

Once you find a group, go to their website. Most of the robust and long-running organizations have an official website with an initiation form you can fill out and, given that these groups tend to be relatively small operations and don't get a lot of internet traffic, you probably won't be waiting long for an email response back. I've been initiated within hours/a few days.

Once you've signed up, then show up to the next meeting. Relax, get a feel for the people and agenda there, be sociable, ask questions, and do the work in earnest. Sometimes it's just studying, sometimes you're doing grocery and supply runs, sometimes you'll be doing marketing, or maybe you'll be put on a project to build something like temporary shelter or a community garden. Whatever the group needs for you to do, step up to the plate. A lot of this stuff is actually pretty mundane work, no different from volunteering at a typical non-profit. You're not going to be given a gun and told to post up against cops or whatever (unless you join a militant organization which, hey, if you've got the spine for it, fair dues.) That's the thing. Most of the work regarding revolution is really about doing the menial, thankless labor, or doing a lot of reading lol.

Now, if you find you don't like the way the group runs, there's scheduling conflicts, it's not fulfilling to you, know you're not obligated to stay. Again, people organization hop all the time. Not every organization is one size fits all; you need to find your place in the movement towards liberation. But we all have a place in that movement. We just need to find it.

Nepenthe's advice is better than anything I could give but one thing they mentioned, that I wanted to stress, is the value in finding a space/group that aligns closest to your own values, time, energy, and sense of community. Joining a movement, or community, and contributing, can come with a lot of psychosocial stress given, you know, the nature of things, resulting in desperate sense unfulfilled urgency alongside feelings of failing to give/commit 'enough'. It leads to advocacy burnout and sometimes vicarious trauma for the persons (or people) involved.

It's okay to join a group and feel like the personalities and people aren't for you. It's okay to feel like the groups focus aren't aligned with your preferences and feelings, whether it's not doing enough or doing things in a way you feel are futile. The important piece is just being a part of a community, and contributing to that community, that aims for form community separate to the current way-of-things. So yeah, even shit like helping building shelters, doing some shopping runs, etc etc. It might seem pointless but this stuff is the bedrock of us looking out for each other, treating each other as equals, and elevating those who are subject to institutionalised persecution. And you can't know until you try!

As an example, in Australia one of the more vocal and active groups is the Socialist Alternative. They do a lot of really fantastic pro-Palestine work and protests, and a lot of great protests against industry and exploitation. They're full of really good people doing really good stuff. But, unfortunately, I don't really align with their interpretation of Trotskyism, I think their recruitment methodologies and means of engagement with the general public are ineffective and othering, and much of this stems from concerns I have for their leadership and direction which has, in the past, proven unstable at best and exploitive at worst. The ethos of their movement I support, and I wish them well, but I don't wish to commit my time to them specifically, and thus put my energy and time, where I can, into other First Nations advocacy and work. Something I need to do more of this year.

But the point is it's okay to try a community and not vibe with them, for whatever reasons. Because it's absolutely true; people will move around, shuffle, shift focus, etc. Such is the nature of it all.

Part of the reason why I've been so apathetic is because for basically my entire life, I have realized that anti-blackness is basically the root cause of all of societal issues. As long as marginalized communities continue to dunk on my people for the chance to promote to the white table, nothing is going to get better. Eventually, white people won't need the cover provided.

We told you that you'll be in the crosshairs one day. We told you that marginalized communities need to stick together rather than seek white approval. We told you to not make excuses of the Europeans rape of Africa and try to dunk on Americans for racism, because y'all are all the same in my eyes.

It's exhausting that people are crying out now when we told you what was going to happen for centuries.

Ngl, when someone posted this video in the newest Greenland thread and a poster just dismissed it as "it sounds like whining and dodging responsibility" I almost crashed the fuck out.

It is painfully clear that a lot of people here are absolutely not allies in any sense of the word

The idea that "we're either we're all free or none of us our free" is apt and a point worth repeating.

The most annoying thing about the 2024 election cycle was hearing white people complain about how Democrats focused too much on minorities and LGBT (and especially trans) people and not enough on the economy.

And it's like... the only reason we had to do that is that Republicans keep eroding basic freedoms by targeting these groups with punitive bullshit just for existing. They made it a thing that had to be fought against. And when we don't push back on that stuff and shore up the freedom wall, they keep pushing upriver until everyone suffers from the punitive bullshit.

That on top of it just being the right thing to do to liberate everyone and give them equal entitlement to self-determination.

nonsense

Sorry if sappy, but you reminded me of a poem for the times...



Still the idea to join teams, organizations, JOINING OTHERS PERIOD is a great bare minimum to help with so much of the work to do. The trajectory is for things to remain bad and get worse unless resistance is shown and known.

I didn't want to wade in because there are points being made about general American apathy, but it's also telling it's a bunch of white people mad at the injustice of colonialism possibly happening to them because they sure weren't going hard during America's other shenanigans. Were they screaming do something when their own governments were making shitty deals with the devil?

Great thread. Not even 50 posts but so much to make fun of.

NAH, LOL.  NAHHH.  Black Americans pay the taxes that fund the war machine and consume the cheap goods secured by that very global exploitation you're decrying. Black Americans are functionally integrated into the engine of empire, not separate from it.  A large portion of the US military is black, too.  They're not husks of skin passively observing, they have free will and they are the hands enforcing the foreign policy you condemn.  To a victim of a US drone strike or a coup in the Global South, all this arbitrary academia internal racial hierarchy bullshit of the aggressor nation you're writing up is totally fucking irrelevant. The boot on their neck is American, nobody cares about the color of the foot inside it. YOU MAD.  MAD CUZ BAD.   MAD CUZ CULPABLE TOO.

t's less bad actors and more like people are scared at the fact that being in the West, or being white, or being well off, was not going to save them from the fascism we could see coming from a mile away due to the degradation in conditions from neoliberalism running it's course.

[benji]

Being fair, people are starting to genuinely to loath the methods of the pools are anything to go by. I don’t think ICE have the same collective stature as “police”.

If Trump didn't want to see them in the streets, and ICE just rounded up and raided people like normal at an increased level, nobody would care. That's why nobody talked about abolishing or murdering ICE when Obama and Biden deported record setting numbers of people.

The US population has massively supported the War on Drugs the entire time, but some of them are upset that they have to see videos related to its enforcement.

[simiansmarts]

Let it be known that Trump turned ICE into a content farm organization and will be unable to beat Obama's record number of deportations. 
 


Maybe democrats were the real champions of meritocracy because they actually hired the right people for the jobs. Politics should be boring and unsexy but the reality tv show man doesn't like that so he's going to try to change it even if it's totally suboptimal.

[benji]

You need to count the jobs deportations created or saved.

Her argument is basically that nothing any white (or hell, any) people have ever done has produced anything at all except the four hundred year period in which they enslaved a fraction of the African population in limited agriculture export fields. That sole period and industry is the underlying source of all human wealth both before and after the enslaved ended and the industries shrank extensively as a share of the overall economy.

Ah, you might say, but the English textile industry only utilized cotton from African slavery for a brief period and relied more heavily on Indian imports and English innovation and that shows you don't understand theory. Because it did use African slavery for any period then all of it and all wealth and capital related to it for any period including before is permanently and forever morally tainted. Only accounting all of that wealth as resulting from the labor of Black people properly captures its historical value and proper ownership. Expand this across all industries and you can see that none are free of the taint. QED.

And if you even try to ask how did this backwards culture with no wealth conquer the superior ones in order to permanently extract their labor for centuries then I know y'all aren't serious. I already explained how the exploitation traveled backwards in time too.

ICE agents are in fact real federal agents and murdering one would be treated the same as murdering a FBI agent.

All I’m reading are weak excuses and it’s getting annoying. Especially as you people are always going on about not being tread on by the government and all that. Yet here you are. Frankly it’s embarrassing. You have uneducated, untrained gestapo wannabes shooting women and dragging innocent people out of their homes. Masked goons who have been given complete immunity to do whatever they like. Do you know who they remind me of? They remind me of ISIS.

you are biologically of the nature of someone who is born blonde and then has their hair change to brown, which is an immutable aspect of yourself

the fact that a body can change doesn't mean the change wasn't biologically programmed to happen (within tolerances partly dictated by environmental factors)

You've been out here snapping at Canadians who are mad at the US for weeks, while the moderating team bans half of us because we're hurting B-Dubs' feelings.
I know people have said this to you before but it's worth repeating. It may not be your fault for Trump — though something like 60-70% of the voting population is directly at fault, so, a pretty big majority — but fixing this is the responsibility of every single American. Period. Americans are going to continue to take heat until Trump is removed one way or another.
That's your reality now, just like the threat of being bombed and invaded by the US is now my reality.
I suggest exercising a little self restraint and walking away yourself. If you need a ban to stop, you've got bigger problems.

Yeah bro.  When people bully you it's your fault.  

Basallt just has to write, "I feel like you're dismissing of my concerns and being hostile," and he would have his first scalp.

I like how TV Tropes says that is Take That to cosplay harassers (because he harass Alan) while ignoring that is a male crossplayer harassing another male crossplayer.  

(How many people miss the point that Alan is a huge pervert? Or that Charlie is kind of a dick? Or that the boss is creepy? Or that… )
