    It may not be conscious on the part of the white woman in this example, but this type of compliment is doubling as a way for her to give herself a healthy lib pat on the back compliment for being an ally or whatever

      God those people are the WORST! It’s using an opportunity to be nice and decent to another person but you find a way to actually make it about yourself (the rhetorical yourself, not you you the commenter). I hate that shit, cause decency is sadly rare these days, and finding a way to present it to someone and then take it away is just vile and scummy.

        Going off a tangent but this arrogant self-centering and posturing is such a quintessentially westoid attitude

        Will the west declining cure them of this poisonous chauvinism?

          When the food runs short thore quintessential wertoids lack ability to share with others will likely cause some curing to happen.
