DOWNLOAD NOW: We just dropped a Black and Palestinian Solidarity Toolkit for our kinfolk tryna throw down for a #CEASEFIRENOW and a #FREEPALESTINE locally. https://t.co/xAd74C8tfU 🔗🇵🇸✊🏾
no fr are you "leftists" seriously gonna ignore the fact that nazis have joined y'all to chastise black people or will y'all continue to lie and say that we're the fascist reactionaries here
I find it funny yall think everyone who has the capacity to critique language usage doesn’t also organize irl?? Are yall so intellectually bankrupt that you can’t..do both..at the same time? Bc it’s actually really easy for me surprisingly idk
i know one thing...a few folks about to be unfollowed for reposting this disingenuous shit on my tl. y'all are actually so out of touch, it's embarrassing.
i do not believe in people "using their privilege" because all that results in is people not being able to see your humanity unless someone else co-signs it first. this is a paternalist politic and it does not build power— it gives it away.
because all this does is reaffirm hierarchy, it does nothing to challenge it. you should respect people directly and not because someone with more power told you to. if you can't do that your solidarity will never be real.
i've said this before many times too. i don't believe in men speaking for women on misogyny, i don't believe in people who aren't dark speaking for dark skinned people, thin people for fat people etc
@darxjerry i don't know how to tell you this but it's not a good thing tht the death of one white man potentially holds more weight than the deaths of countless colonized people worldwide and you should never validate that as a positive.
aaron bushnell said himself that his martyrdom would not mean more than what palestinians have endured and yet y'all still imbued more symbolic weight to his death because many of you accept yourselves as inferior to whiteness
The reason Aaron Bushnell's martyrdom strikes directly at the imperial core is because here is a white man who chose to burn himself alive rather than being complicit in doing so to others.
They do not want anyone thinking too long about what that implies.
@darxjerry that's what he said and that's what you're also saying. i suggest you read dubois because it seems like you think living life captive to the white gaze is a good thing. in reality we should never validate that white people don't see us as human because their beliefs don't matter
that's actually exactly what's happening 💀💀💀 but i think these people are still gunning for the hearts of the white "moderate" but who cares about them? we don't need them
@RileyHagen61887@HeadCasey2 he lived in power, hence his choice to kill himself to atone. rest in power is for our people who did not. you can't respect that because you don't respect us.
@milanaisms and i don't even wanna claim i have influence but to act like my stance on something is invalid just because u perceive me to be useless is loser behavior!
and i don't publicize it neither and won't mention this again but i just think it's foolish to act like what happens on here has no bearing on real life (and talk only act like this when it's convenient)
"all u do is tweet" 1st of all no that's not true and 2nd of all if only y'all knew the amount of ppl over the years who have come to thank me for helping them give words to oppressions they've faced & the strength to then challenge them. u can act like it's nothing but i don't
like the only reason why this tweet even ended up on my timeline was because a nonblack mutual (we are no longer mutuals) was positively engaging this thread so as much as y'all wanna act like it's "bad faith" to infer antiblackness from your words......
And I’m disgusted/frustrated that somehow even as we are literally being annihilated by the coalition of white supremacist western states we somehow still manage to be treated as what, beneficiaries? Having the most to gain from anti blackness? At this point just leave us alone
