  • I don’t know, it’s quite simple when you view it from a race-perspective.

    White women in America do not want a black president, male or female.

    In 2008, when Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic primaries, do you think white women rallied behind Obama? Nope. They overwhelmingly switched their party to Republican, so “I can see Canada from my house” Sarah Palin, a white woman, could serve as VP to another old, decrepit white man.

    What about in 2016? I personally got shitted on for supporting Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton, and was called misogynistic by white liberal women.

    Oh, and the cherry on top. In 2024, a young, healthy, uncontroversial, educated black woman ran against a vile, bigoted, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic, capitalistic septuagenarian. EVERY demographic majority voted for him except black men and women.

    As I said, it’s really simple when you view it from a race-perspective.

    It’s not whataboutism when my entire ideology is anti-nationalism. You don’t get it, do you? I want all of the Western imperialist nations to collapse, including the European ones.

    Your rhetoric is weak and outdated, still viewing the world through borders. You think Musk gives a fuck about borders? Grow up.

    Right. But, I’m an American who strives to boycott goods produced by slave labor and/or colonization by my own government because I believe class solidarity transcends borders.

    The BuyEuropean movement is largely nationalistic and uninterested in class solidarity. Don’t get me wrong, I think the entire world should be boycotting American goods. Let the empire collapse, please.

    But, boycotting American goods while still exploiting the Global South for centuries is not a flex.

    I think the staring is a sign of curiosity. The problem is, our emotionally stunted parents did not teach us how to ask questions and show sympathy which could be a solution to that curiosity.

    I remember parents scolding their children for asking “out of pocket” questions about people that embarrassed the parents, and this resulted in them just suppressing their children’s curiosity about other people and their unique life paths.
