Hello nerds 
, hope you all have a good week 
Remember no crackers
i swear us americans treat travelling to different countries like going to another planet. a lot of “travel guides” especially to asian countries are lowkey racist and chauvinstic as fuck in a way i cant express clearly enough.
90 Day Fiancée I’m convinced exists solely to make my blood boil. I’ve only seen clips of it and it makes me want to slap the shit out of those scumbags.
I only watch the other way because I love seeing America’s being put in their place. It still has the weird “look [foreign country] is so foreign” feel to it but with the benefit of not being in America. The scariest thing is how they seem to never run out of participants.
You see the clip of Ed going to the Philippines and he says “I’m going to this place called ‘Manila.’ It’s a city somewhere. You heard of it?”
It’s only one of the largest cities in the world, Ed. Only recently has it left the top 10. It’s like that scene in Indiana Jones of the white British guy wandering around Egypt after Dr. Jones tells the bad guys his buddy will blend right in.
My favorite part is when the American wants to go back to the US because it’s too foreign to them but the non-American is like “what are you talking about this is paradise to me”. So suddenly leaving your home and everything you know isn’t fun huh?

What? Philippines is one of the Americanized countries in the world and he can’t stand it being foreign. I’d bet my ass he’d drown in 3 inches of water without trying.
Anglo America’s are weak af. They spend a day in a house without a water heater or half the water pressue and they would swear they spent a night in guantanamo.
There’s another couple where the groom-to-be is from Nigeria and his fiancee, a white woman, goes to meet him for the first time. He shows her how they bathe at his house, which is to fill a bucket with hot water, soap yourself up with that, then rinse off with the shower running, rather than letting the water run the whole time you’re in there. Makes sense, right? Especially when you’re in a house with like 4 adults and you’re on a limited budget with a small water tank.
With the look on her face, you’d think he told her to go bathe naked in the river using only a rock to scrub with and no soap.

It’s extremely frustrating how popular that show is with Guatemalan women. Tbf I think most see it as cheap entertainment and don’t actually want to end up like those women.

All the anti-ICE protests kicking off give me some hope if I’m being real. Seeing libs go “noo we have to this peacefully” please go get your
head broken by the police and the national guard then. As always it’s on the oppressed to be peaceful as the gestapo marches in 🙄The masses have been in the streets more frequently in the past 20 years and it’ll only get more frequent. I have no more room for fake pacifist and incrementalism.
6 months in can only imagine what it’s gonna be like in a year let alone for the rest of the term
When trump was inaugurated all my liberal friend’s were “woeing” and dooming; I kept mentioning I’m not worried because I believe in the people and they told me they didn’t so I knew we weren’t on the same side. But many things are causing people to be fed up: lesser job opportunities + corporate AI takeover + unknown tarrif things + general apathy to trump + all the other unresolved problems from previous administrations + weirdo rwingers who want to play military. Not much more is needed to tip people over, just time.
I feel this, honestly things needed to get much worse before they got better. I know people get mad at accerationist for this take but any of us barely have any power with shit going belly up it was gonna happen regardless. Democrats were already going hard right on immigration and you even had Bernie mention how necessary ICE is while back
I think so, too. The correct path forward is to not contribute to making things worse, but be ready to jump on it when they do. Russia, China, Korea, and Vietnam had to experience world wars coupled with colonialism before their revolutions were able to succeed. We aren’t at that point yet in the US, nor would we want to create such conditions deliberately. When things do get that bad will be the optimal moment to spread class consciousness and divert that energy into socialist revolution.
I think the BPP had it right when they said “Survival pending revolution.”
To be fair, I’m still worried because while I have hope in the people I also know that they need to be organized to be successful in their struggle for liberation. People are not organized, people are just angry. That’s not sufficient. As you mentioned, people have been taking it to the streets for a while with no great success to show for it. The riots haven’t even really consumed most of the city yet, much less any other cities.
That being said, they’re all braver than the troops. Wish them all and any Comrade here in the area the best. I also do think summer is only getting started, this will escalate further but I hope it does in a good way.
May Sheinbaum liberate the people of Alta California!
I think we need to modernize our approach. Orgs should be the ones ready to handle and deligate work towards liberation. We take in the people’s woes and channel their anger so they won’t need to explicitly join but sympathy or supportive trust is enough to keep the orgs afloat
That’s fine, except there aren’t any organizations that are even remotely prepared to take any form of power either. PSL doesn’t even hold any local offices or power and that’s the one people usually like to champion, and my favorite from the choices as well. So, when I say the people aren’t organized I also mean there is no effectively organized political vanguard.
That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t take actions, I’m not criticizing that, I just don’t see it leading anywhere so I’m still worried about seeing fascism ramp up domestically.
Ooh yes you’re right. Orgs are nowhere near stable enough to take this on. It’s a shame
Death to ICE, death to
Fr if afterwards this ain’t a abolished then idk
Sometimes you really do know some on here are too online, western(ized) and propagandized. It becomes immediately obvious through their mannerisms and speech patterns. Especially when it comes to anti-imperialist actors internationally.
I would like to type so much - but I know it won’t help so I am exhibiting some self-control.

There’s nothing left to explain, I don’t need to tell white people anything anymore, there’s genocides going on supported by their governments, it’s so obvious and so clear, you’re an enemy if you don’t recognize it.
White people when my freeform dreadlocks were in the earliest phases: “Have you considered combing your nappy ass hair?”
White people when my freeform dreadlocks are longer and mature: “OMG, WAOW. SO COOL! IT’S LIKE BOB MARLEY! THAT’S SO EXOTIC! OMG!”
I swear to fucking God.
Feel that hard. My hair is naturally curly and foreign whites, especially boomers, get very angry when it’s grown past a certain length.
I don’t know how many times I gotta say it, but something white leftists just can’t seem to get:
I’m Black before anything else.
Black liberation is 75% of my politics

one of the accounts that has been rising since the protests in LA is this Mexican chud that think only the anglos are capable of settler colonialism
evidence even latinos are capable of having brain worms
A lot of brown Latin Americans think being mestizo makes them exempt from settler colonialism. One of my biggest pet peeves.
think being mestizo makes them exempt from settler colonialism.
As a mestizo Filipino, lol. lmao, even. The one drop rule will always come into effect, sometimes sooner rather than later.
same. look, they didn’t even teach the philippine american war in filipino schools as my parents were growing up. (mom mestiza, dad mixed chinese)
i worry for our latin cousins sometimes

I think we all are, to some extent, due to how long Spain colonized the country. Then you have all the people from neighboring areas moving to the Philippines throughout history.
its a raza cosmica beliver, so it a unique type of latino chud, also he has been push up by the patsocs on twitter so its one of those people too
evidence even latinos are capable of having brain worms
Feel like latinos have the biggest, most insane brain worms out of anyone
What’s this chud’s point about that belief?
That iberians arent white people and poiting out spanish colonialism is a plot to divide people, probably some leyenda blanca believer, they also mention the raza cosmica which is an eugenist belief too
That iberians arent white people
Hmm…
poiting out panish colonialism is a plot to divide people, probably some leyenda blanca believer, they also mention the raza cosmica which is an eugenist belief too
:spain-cool: punitin ang sedula
White “leftists” be like, “No need to try to unlearn my white supremacist conditioning if I just act like POC don’t exist!”
I am very bias, please convince me that I’m wrong. So, I can’t view Vietnam veterans as heroes. They came to conquer, to massacre, and left behind starving pregnant women. Then they made a musical to romanticise that, justified the passport bro movement and returned to the land they had hurt to marry young, uneducated women who didn’t speak their language. I can’t take them seriously when they condemn the Red Army for invading Eastern European countries that were under fascist occupation. I can’t take them seriously when they vote against giving funds to agent orange cleanup and anything progressive. Why should any American veterans be considered heroes when the US started every other war they fought themselves anyway?
You’re speaking fax
I am back to restricting myself to c/em_poc and c/mutual_aid, and this time, I intend it to be permanent.
I can’t post an innocuous thread without having issues, and truthfully, I’ve been feeling a vibe to quit Hexbear entirely, but I still need support from c/mutual_aid, and even once I get more stability (whenever the fuck that’ll happen), I want to support users there as well. However, after I hang for some time (I don’t know how long) after having employment and financial stability and whatnot, I will delete my account and possibly stop using this site entirely.
It will never get fixed. I might, at the very least, remain on an alt to post on this comm again—I don’t know, but there’s no hope.
I know @CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net said she’d miss my posts, and I’m sorry, but I’m glad you seem able to understand.
Through all the bullshit I’ve gone through since I first started using this site, thanks for being there for me, all you beautiful EMPOC comrades.
That poster was being ridiculous. Sorry you won’t be posting as much, but I’m even sorrier you suffer so much when asses like that pop up. Do what you need to for your comfort <3
fucking hate libs. ‘‘peaceful protesting’’ is fine but the moment violence is used, that’s too far. ICE deports people FFS.
It really shows where their loyalties are. It’s always on us to not be violent or confrontational. It’s never the responsibility of racists to not be racist. I’ve had to deal with this a lot in my personal life with crackers letting other crackers say awful shit, but then when I argue with them about it I “ruined the holiday for everyone.” Just shows how ingrained white supremacy is in the minds of white people.

Always thinking back to the fact that someone who I’m on good terms with and still talk to these days posted this on social media:
CW: Whte Lberal Being a Whte Lberal
“Genuine anti-racism doesn’t make exceptions. If your anti-racism includes demonizing white people, it’s not anti-racism. It’s just racism.”
It’s just racism.
Systemic oppression of Whitey is a good thing, actually, and I’m tired of pretending it wouldn’t be fucking awesome.
I’m just starting to tell those crackers that there is indeed anti-White racism and I openly espouse it. There was a meme about that but I can’t find it.
We’re not going to get some of them on board so I don’t care anymore.
I made one a bit ago!
Yesss. That’s the one. Haha
That’s a good meme!!
loving this lol
the poor whites facing racism and genocide in south africa

I feel this too much,
In going through this job hell, it helps to know I’m not alone. A friend of mine who’s also QTPOC has been seeking jobs near us, and they said they’ll always be willing to text me what they find.
I applied to this vegan restaurant that has been hiring for a very long time. The first time, I was able to interview with them but got turned down. I tried again later, but they said they were only hiring for BOH at the time, so I recently tried to email again, but this time I asked specifically about FOH. So far, I haven’t gotten a response, but I don’t know if it’s a ghost. I might go there in person to inquire directly because if these people seriously need someone willing to work constant hours at a vegan joint, I have no issues.
I have been thinking far outside the box, even looking at pages that specifically show the most explicitly QTPOC-friendly jobs, and I still don’t have much luck. Many of them still require hefty experience, unfortunately.

Ngl sounds like racism
I hate this. I don’t know if it has a name, but it’s like this weird form of imposter syndrome. “Was I actually unqualified or are they just racist?” It happens with everything, from dating, to job hunting, to looking for places to live.
I appreciate it when racists are up-front with their bigotry and let me know they’re assholes versus the racists who never say it out loud yet let it inform their decision making. Foxes and wolves, as Malcolm used to say.
lmao it’s gotta be
been saying this
I mean: food industry, vegan restaurant, have been hiring for years but suddenly they don’t want workers let alone a vegan worker, wait ok we are hiring but actually only want BOF
They’re racist as fuck
A bit late, but Happy Juneteenth.
if you are not actively wishing for the USA to be nuked you are a loser
