Literally braver than the troops. That's admirable af.

I can't even imagine being told (and forced) by my government to either go help exterminate this ethno group we don't like, or go to jail.

It really is a nice touch

I got plenty of one of those things

Your experiences and opinions are completely justified. I'm white, and white people have a shit ton of unlearning to do by default, as others have mentioned. I'd like to believe that a lot of white leftists genuinely support and believe in progressive, socialist, or communist beliefs/movements, but it takes a lot of work to shift from always viewing everything from a white lens.

I'll admit that I was a bit of a shithead until about 7 years ago when I got introduced to new ideas and began to truly listen to other people's experiences. When you're growing up in a primarily white suburban bubble, that kind of curbs social development if there isn't a lot of exposure to other peoples' and cultures experiences.

Granted, it is a very common phenomenon that white leftists put on the air of revolutionary thought & rhetoric, but they're still more white than leftist. A lot of these folks never grow beyond just saying the right things, and the mask can slip off and they'll show their ass. That does make it difficult to sus out whether a white person is genuine or not, and I've run into it plenty of times myself.

Mf really went, "Ooh, free leg!"

He's so young to be having a stroke, that shit's scary af. I hope he's recovering okay, he seems like a really thoughtful and good dude.

This is one of the funniest responses in the thread:

Cool, thanks for taking the time to explain that! I haven't been active on Hexbear since before federation was a thing, so all of this is new to me.

Can I participate on Lemmygrad with the same login I use here? I'm not really an active user anymore, but I'm trying to get away from FB and still need a little bit of online interaction with other communists.

TikTok Tankies goes pretty hard, tbh.
