@Mackewich @harukaawake The United States is the strongest nation in the world

In this brief, devastating exchange between a white mother and her son, we see the precise moment when the pedagogy of whiteness meets a child who has not yet learned to lie on its behalf. The boy begins in clarity: “The white killed him… He was a good man.” He grasps that the violence that murdered a Black man is not random but racial, that there were “a black and a white and they had different schools,” and that the division is not morally neutral but enforced by “the white.” His response is not confusion but moral alignment: if he sees “the white” again, he wants “payback on them,” which is to say, he understands that the proper object of his anger is the structure that kills good Black men, not the Black man who is killed. For an instant, whiteness appears to him not as an identity to be cherished, but as an enemy to be named.

The mother’s interventions are a nearly perfect transcript of how white supremacy repairs this kind of rupture. She calls him back to racial identification—“you’re mostly white”—and then immediately individualizes and sanitizes the structure he has rightly condemned: “it wasn’t just the white,” “not nice white people killed him.” Faced with this summons, the boy draws a line that *race traitor* must draw: “I didn’t kill him… I’m not the white person who did it… I’m going to get to the other people… I wasn’t born then.” In that refusal, he separates his emerging self from the historical project of whiteness and aligns, however inchoately, with those whom whiteness targets. This is the kind of critical break that figures like John Brown and Benjamin Lay represent in mature, fully conscious form: a rejection of whiteness as a political identity and a decision to cast one’s lot with its victims rather than its beneficiaries.

@DonnyDarces @MatteoMalvado @JulienHoez So what makes someone a settler and an immigrant? Because their players families easily could've been conquered, and settled in mainland France. Thereby making them settlers of Europe and France.

@Texalism @TheJakeneutron You cant dismantle institutionalized racism without recognizing it, and its role in suppressing the recognition of minority inventors, theres many times this has happened. Such as with women making a discovery and the recognition given to their male counterparts instead

@juleswrd @pamysie @ConnorNoro You know this is literally the exact rhetoric they use against homosexuals right? That you're not accepting yourselves as heterosexual and thereby must be psychologically or morally corrected? You're dividing yourselves to make it easier for the oppressors to stamp you both out

@RshdwWarCollege @odahaukaas @Suffragent_ Because society has conditioned them to not want those jobs. Don't pretend the ideals of the nuclear family and the 50s just go away at the signing of a law. You can't undo centuries of conditioning and social pressure to be a homemaker and let men work the "difficult" jobs

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@ThatBeardedGu20 @kylee7kylee @Suffragent_ Women weren't allowed in direct combat roles in the U.S military until 2013. That and a historical bias pushing women to serve the "homefront" and men to fight in wars. It very much isn't because they don't want those jobs, but because we told them they don't want those jobs.

@fixitjake @TheFarix @FLZoo @CompletedStreet If you want to talk about rail and gas prices. Electric and coal rail faced a upsurge in the 70s due to the oil crisis while cars and other forms of transportation shot up in price. So Highspeed electric rail is more robust in regards to price shocks from spefific fuel sources

@madisonbadger00 @MKENewYorker @kidjim25 Have you... Actually been in milwaukee in the past 20 years? It's having some of the best growth in years since the decline of manufacturing.

There's tons of new small businesses and major investments in the city. If you're interested I can give some cool places to see

@MarnerJoshua @JosephPolitano How the hell is this public works? He's actively working against higher education and access to higher education and railing against international students who pay significantly more than U.S students and are required to have a job.
None of this is in service to the US population

@darkw0kedexter @kansanexpat @ClaireOfRuralia If that was true workplace experience wouldn't be a requirement nor would project work be so highly valued

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@Hyhhuu7yhi @ClaireOfRuralia How are IQ tests supposed to help a business asses the qualifications of a hire?

@LoganCampbell69 @NicolasEdny So you're afraid of being treated how you treat everyone else. Crazy

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@HoodsGoodsGold @NewsWire_US They fought for alot more than just "America". And you saying that and the removal of the memorial erases that. Look up the Dobule Victory campaign and you'll see.

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@USAversusEU @flackospalace Dawg you just described an average dictatorship. Not an economic system, the same exact thing has happen under capitalism.

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@FuqsGivenZero @diettrade Dawg you can't say look at history and try to exonerate European crimes LMAO.

European companies from colonial charters to multinational corporations continue to abuse their land, foreign workers and skirt past regulations to the detriment to those around them. Don't even lol

[Prawn @lee67828352]

@briannalyman2 What is an American identity that excludes immigration lmao? Or is it just white supremacy and a victim complex
