A note to folks in this thread:

It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

I think people here are predominantly the former and not the later. The later is just rank liberalism. Important distiction though

[-] HexbearGPT@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Every one here is a liberal except me liberalism

Ah but have you considered that I want to self deprecate in a way that aligns with my political values?

[-] RedQuestionAsker2@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Hating yourself for being white aligns with your political values?

Did I miss something in State and Revolution?

[-] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Be a race traitor.

its okay you can name them

It's terrible because if I wanted to be something other than white all the things I might have felt any associated with are claimed by white supremacy. Like, damn. Which is worse being proud white or proud of you british ancestry?

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That's not entirely true. There's a lot of folk and other culture that's solidly left wing and associated with the working classes. It's just mostly more english/welsh/cornish/scottish than british specifically.

Even then if you want to enjoy 19th century sea shanties it's fine, there are people to be proud of if you look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.

look, like the Reaver (anti slavery) squadron.

Cant find anything about this on Google. Just fictional stuff like Star Wars and Warhammer. Can you drop a link or something?

They weren't particularly effective and they didn't get anywhere near enough support, but they were enthusiastic and the Kru People were also major participants, as were many released or escaped slaves. It just makes me feel good, thinking about Master and Commander, but they're hunting down slavers and not French Revolutionaries.

I've been trying to deprogram the whiteness out of myself. Like I resent the fucking concept of whiteness and what it has done to me personally and the world generally. Fuck racists for thinking I share any common bond with them based on some phrenology-ass category.

Maybe it sounds weird, but I've found it helps to focus on my actual ethnic "heritage".
