I know I'm lucky. I mean I wasn't. Like really not lucky for 23 years. But I am now for the moment. And I love so much of it. You included. I hope you can feel it too. Even if it's just for a little bit. I'm glad I got to see things this way. Stay safe Era and keep your head up always. It might not be forever but embrace it tightly when you have it.

Post whatever you want here.

Right now I haven't been able to feel joy. Normally I'm fairly optimistic but not enjoying much, including video games which has almost never happened before, has left me questioning the point of life a lot. I hope getting off medication will fix at least that. I'm looking forward to it.

I'd rather be dead

I like knowing people are happy and enjoy life.
I wonder what's that's like.

I've never been happy or well, but im also very aware that we only get 1. Eventually the unwellness might well overtake the self preservation.

This racist dad and his hate crime that wouldn't have happened if the principal was white is yet again proof that until everything not mandatory is criminalized and punished to the harshest extent of the law we know the white cishets aren't serious about ending capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy.

[benji]

I have yet to see a single white cishet end racism. But they think they should be allowed to comment about events and rub it in our faces that they like being alive. Shutting the fuck up is free.

Get ready for the ResetEra cope train as Israel has just saved 4 hostages from the clutches of evil  

it took 8 months, 40'000 dead and killing other hostages, but we did it boys!!

I'm happy these hostages are safe but man... knowing so many people have been killed and them being used as a pretext, i would feel terrible if i was an hostage in that situation, fuck the israel governement

Fucking clown. I would feel great knowing my country would do everything to save me from evil despite the rest of the world abandoning me.
Very few countries would go to such lengths to rescue their citizens.

How long until someone on Resetera starts entertaining the theory that they are crisis actors planted by Israel instead of real hostages?

The whites took and monetized our Grippy Sippy dance for Fortnite.  They allowed the little block people in Roblox to have dreads and cornrows.  They're putting the Sticky Icky Fresh and Whippy in the new Harry Potter.  This is the hierarchy of capital that you're witnessing.  At the very top of the pyramid, it's a video game company and our stolen Shiddy Griddy Sticky Mississippi.

[Potato]

Another lesson that Era, and by extension the wider left, needs to learn.

Just because you are minoritized in some way doesn't inherently mean you're Black. If you aren't Black, then simply put you don't know and never will truly know what it's like to be Black. So maybe shut the fuck up in trying to equate experiences and stick to your lane.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/father-of-baraboo-high-school-graduate-blocks-superintendent-from-shaking-daughters-hand.890907/page-6?post=124053627#post-124053627

So her argument is that Black people aren't even human beings.

This is downright racist, that there is an essence to Black people from their skin color that only they have and can know. Ancient racist psuedoreligious nonsense and yet that entire forum will be just fine with it, with the fact that a person at the top of the pyramidal hierarchical framework spouts vile racist gibberish. The staff will be fine with one of their own saying this kind of stuff. And to let her not just say this, but to castigate others for not believing it, to dismiss their concerns because they don't believe it and to ban them for not believing it.

I know you're banned, and you deserve it, but I'm going to point out that you're talking over Black people in a topic where a Black man was assaulted, and a white person was embarrassed. And now, like white feminism, you're playing the victim when Black people want to talk about their humanity in the face of white supremacy. It doesn't matter that you're a minority and a woman. You're using those intersections of identity to uphold white supremacy and suppress Black people when they are advocating for their pain, existence, and humanity.

Absolute nonsense, not a single person in that thread experienced shit. They weren't this guy, they have nothing in common with him by the irrelevance of their skin color. Now they're accusing other members of "upholding white supremacy" because they refuse to prioritize what these assholes want.

Your take is wrong because it continues the notion that just because black people are frequent recipients of racism that means they are never the true victims in any case where a white individual is aggrieved in the same situation.

Or, in other words, you're pushing age-old racist rhetoric that somehow black individuals have a higher pain tolerance than other groups of people and thus deserve less empathy. It's completely fucked, and it shows how ingrained anti-black rhetoric is when you can openly admit to devaluing black people's humanity without seeing a problem with it.

More absurdity, they don't even see what they're doing. This guy gives it away by saying "the true victim" which invalidates this next post:

Where have people been attacking her? You really might want to stop while you are very behind here.

What are you on about? Who's attacking her?

Coming into the thread to lecture people that they've done something wrong because they ignored the "true victim" is frankly absurd for a forum that almost never shows any kind of empathy. Now an entire narrative has spun up that posts were "devaluing Black people's humanity" or ignoring Black people's pain or saying Black people need to take it because some posters were thinking about the embarrassment the student felt instead of the principal, an entirely valid empathetic choice.

To anyone not understanding why us black folks seem irritated at all the "poor girl" posts, just read this.

Now this thread is a racial incident because certain posters are demanding a pyramidal hierarchical framework to determine who receives focus in a situation. You are now not just required to have the correct views, you are also required to prioritize the correct person before sharing your correct views.

And the staff pile on:

...👀

Well, good morning! God is good!?

I want to touch on something that I've experienced a lot in real life, and that I'm also seeing in this thread. It goes along with the brilliant post Nepenthe made and that others have touched on about how people are systemically trained to overlook Black pain. Sometimes a worse thing happens, and people won't realize that racist aggression even translates into Black pain.

In essence, a lot of people think Black folks enjoy getting into racist confrontations and being the recipient of racist aggression. Like it's a good look for us. A lot of people really do believe that Black folks are going Aha! You've activated my trap card! whenever some racist decides to shit on our day. And like, yeah, Black folks make those jokes (and they're funny). But Black folks make those jokes because we know they're jokes; because we tend to not have an issue seeing our own humanity.

In reality, being the recipient of anti-Black racism is not a good look. It doesn't put us in a power position. We don't even have the guarantee that we'll be protected when it happens (just look at this thread!). Having to defend ourselves from racist aggression is incredibly embarrassing; it's incredibly mortifying. You're often terrified because your safety isn't guaranteed, and so you have to project a sense of strength or indifference that you often do not feel in that moment. Whenever it's happened to me, I feel like I have an explosion of emotions and fears go off in my brain and I have maybe two seconds to get my shit together and project something that won't make me feel compromised or make them feel emboldened. It's awful, and not only that but studies have indicated that it could be adding years to our lives:

African Americans who reported more experiences with racial discrimination are likely to age faster, adding to evidence that racism is not only a "social and moral dilemma" but also a "public health issue," according to an Auburn University study published last month.

And so it can be frustrating when you're on the receiving end of racist aggression and people don't treat you like you're hurt, but instead like a spotlight has been put on you. And you must be fine, since its because of you that we get to see how much of a racist asshole THAT guy is. You did a great thing, Black! Now lets focus on how embarrassed and scarred for life the poor white girl must be.

Rainey Briggs was embarrassed, too.
This was now a "big day" for Rainey Briggs.
And yeah, sure, he was incredibly brave. But he was also hurt and violated, and that's before we talk about the assault.

A total non-sequitur. But responding to something he perceived by projecting his own insecurities.

Yep.

If I have to hear one more white crow on about how "brave" and "dignified" a Black person is for not reacting to racism.

Like just fuck off. Do something about the racism.

Except this isn't something that's in the power of anyone you fucking goddamn moron.

That's too much work. Easier to just feign disappointment in a white eco chamber where you can feel good amongst other whites about how progressive you are. There should be an Oscar's-like show for white folks to lift up each other's opinions.

It's too much work because it's impossible.

I mean that's just it, it usually goes that way. People will see this excuse, if it's even true at all, and use it to handwave racism, again, but not stop to think that if this were a White man, this never would have happened. It was the racism that pushed the father to assault and a criminal record.

 

That poor kid. What an embarrassing experience.

....What about the poor man that was attacked?

I wonder if the reaction would be the same if a bear attacked a black person in and other people would be more worried about white people that saw the attack.

nah, they would be more worried about the bear.

Progressives and liberals alike already think of us as little more than politically expedient collateral whose sole purpose is to face the brunt of oppression just to protect their peace of mind. They're never going to think of, nor respect, our humanity.

I think the issue is everyone gets to see the woman's emotions so that is easier to sympathize with.

Plus also the fact most people, it has been shown, people of color are hardly ever treated the same when it comes to showing sympathy when we are in trouble or pain. People think we can tough through it or some shit.

Confused by all the concern for the daughter.

These people are absurd. They deserve their exhausting misery.

Nepenthe's first post in the thread was expressing sympathy for the girl. Then she goes on a banning spree for anyone expressing sympathy for the girl. She's just such a fucking hypocrite. It's glorious!!!

[Propagandhim]

Didn't she try to justify it by saying she knows colonial theory or some shit? 

Oh here it is

I know my initial post was about the daughter for the same reason another Black person already explained: the video largely focuses on her because it's a fixed camera. I posted in full knowledge of that because I am perpetually aware of omnipresence of white supremacy but I made the decision to talk about her regardless, hence why I didn't feel attacked by that remark.

Did she ask each banned person if they were perpetually aware of the omnipresence of white supremacy before they were banned, if that's the criteria that allows someone to express empathy for the daughter without getting banned?  Or is that just a special thing you get, you stupid twat?

Again, and without irony, the responses are just incel blackpill shit. Seems the moderation adds to it instead of doing right by the community.

This is exactly how Nepenthe and her followers treat asians, indigenous, and non-African American blacks.  They are otherwise the enemy but as soon as an event comes up she can exploit suddenly she supports them. Unless she can use those groups to portray white people as bad they are simply other crabs taking the limited supply of resource she needs for her grand plans. 

Why would people side with her when they know she capriciously decides who is "not a true ally."

Not all babies adjacents, just the white ones.

I'm happy these hostages are safe but man... knowing so many people have been killed and them being used as a pretext, i would feel terrible if i was an hostage in that situation, fuck the israel governement

Who are the real hostages here?  Partying on drugs at Coachella and then being asked to leave isn't exactly what I think of when I think of a "Hostage."

As an IT guy pretending to be a prison official I can say that they were not really hostages and you cannot find any UN report saying they were. Also as I'm posting with the full awareness of the omnipresence of white supremacy I need to point out that by focusing on the "hostages" we are ignoring the pain felt by Hamas and the families of Hamas members whose humanity we are denying by prioritizing the "safety" of white-adjacent "hostages" over the continued suffering of people of color both in Gaza and globally, especially America, due to capitalism.

[Nintex]

It's quite astonishing how Israel has been completely vindicated as they break out these hostages from a "refugee" camp. 
And keep in mind that most of these places have a UN presence as well as the "Gaza ministry of health". 

Now the anti-semites complain that they attacked the "refugee" camp too forcefully.

If the superintendent had 50 gallons of Nickelodeon Gak poured on his head while a white bitch was eating her tomato basil Sunchips, y'all would be like "durrrr hows the new Sunchips flavor, ma'am they look quite delectable durrrr" while the man suffered a Gak attack, fuckin cracka ass crackas

Sun chips doesn’t have a tomato basil flavor, the red bag is garden salsa which is fucking fantastic btw.

All the theories about Midori are getting really silly, it's not surprising that Midori would get more sources with how much her account has grown.

Midori probably sold her account after SEGA/Atlus started to inquire and she hopes she can say “I’m not Midori, look, someone else is posting in that account” if they catch her.

Nepenthe hasn't just found all the writings that agree with her that she is a victim but she's discounted the ones that give solutions that are too hard and devotes her time to pursuing a unreachable, far out, pie-in-the-sky, fantasy that is more terror than it is utopia.
