Remember, EM POC only!

Sleepy as hell again, comrades, but I might as well get this posted up before I go ahead and rest.

That aside, let’s get those weekly EM POC vibes going!

    still kinda confused on the actual differences between wishing death (eg. “death to […]”) on ppl and wishing COVID on them. couldn’t figure out an answer from the thread either

      Honestly its strange to treat wishing covid on people the same as a “kys” yet not having a hard policy to crackdown on people with anti-mask opinions or that minimise covid

        Alla sudden because the mod staff is cool with them, I’m going off on a comrade when that so-called ‘comrade’ wants to take up for plague rats.

        I’m pretty new to Hexbear. I’ve lurked for about two or three years and just made an account a few months ago. Twice now I’ve had to deal with cracker shit that results in said crackers whining to the mods and getting my posts removed.

        Absolutely no self-crit about how religion was tied to the colonization of my people and the effect that’s had on us. No consideration about gun culture in the US and how it results in people who look like me getting shot because they rang the wrong doorbell. Then I’m the asshole because I stop entertaining their settler brains and treat them like I would chuds.

        If I didn’t have this disability bullshit I’d leave the US and join some leftwing terrorist group in the global south somewhere (in WarCraft 2). I have zero faith in a leftist revolution happening in the US because even our “”““left””“” is in need of re-education. I think Black, Latine, Native American, LGBTQ+, and some Asian-American people are all ready to go. We want an end to the white patriarchal capitalist world order.

        But whites? They are incredibly difficult to work with. It’s even worse when you leave leftist spaces. Just look at how many of them bend over backwards to defend Israel or start foaming at the mouth when China is mentioned.

        great point. had some time to think abt this:

        • every action has a level of validity so it, depending on your moral values. helping someone out is very valid, so is fighting back when bullied
        • wishing bad consequences on ppl may not sound like the right or ““correct”” thing to do, but as an expression of your emotions - sympathy, empathy, trauma, etc. - it is a very valid thing to do and should be welcomed
          • and not recognizing that validity - for example, sites that condemn “death to […]”, “violence against […] is justified”, etc. - tends to come from a privileged, white cis hetero perspective of what are and aren’t valid emotions. quite a few lemmygrad.ml users and the lemmygrad.ml mod to me are engaging in this
        • so wishing COVID on someone is valid as a way to say “fuck you” to ppl who not only don’t recognise the harmful consequences of COVID-minimalism but risk spreading COVID and its harmful consequences to other ppl
          • also i don’t think wishing COVID can really be considered an actual threat because how tf can i give you COVID through a computer screen lol
