I’m feeling a mixture of optimism and caution. This is the first time in my life, since the George Floyd protests and riots, that I’ve seen one of the “eternal” veils of propaganda stripped from so many people’s eyes. This is a good thing, but I feel incredibly cautious because this leads to wanton brutality upon the masses by the bourgeoise as they struggle to maintain control

I’m not even joking, one strategy I’ve told to some to “get informed” is to not watch the news and they’ve switched to a pro-palestine perspective within hours

To preface this, I believe I’m white facing, but I honestly have no idea to parse this. To preface this, I’m American. On my mom’s side of the family, my great grandfather was Chinese and my great grandmother was the children of people who were slaves. This is the extend of my geneologic knowledge.

I essentially have no knowledge of my family. As a result, when I tell people that my family is from China or from slave lineage, I got called slurs as a child, even as a white person. I constantly had to balance my privileged existence as a white-existing person with the reality of a predominantly large portion of my family. Im not trying to propose any unique “multiracial” experience that exists outside of the bounds of race. I’m just simply asking if anyone has experienced the same? Im sorry if this is wreckerjacketed unintentionally, it’s just something I cannot talk about with libs. I ask this somewhat assuredly, knowing that someone has experienced this

White supremacists/Zionists think the IDF are walking into a leisurely genocide I personally think they’re walking into a Grozny

It seems like we have a few users that are notionally for liberation and resistance but as soon as it materializes in it’s ugly form, they suddenly don’t want to

To anyone else living in America, do you ever become 1% more Maoist when you have to socialize with other Americans?

I just got called “Russian on the inside” as a response for calling someone a Nazi for enjoying watching soldiers die and NOT being a Russian.

Please, I prefer to be called “Soviet on the inside”.

You’re one of our most powerful posters

Maybe Redditors need to have this explained in meme terms to understand.

You, as a liberal, are like Lord Farquaad from Shrek. While you send Ukrainians to die for capital F Freedom (also known as Privatization and Profteering by those pesky RuZZian disinformation bots) you sit back here at your brunch spot saying “Some of you may die, but it is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.”

I would just like to be an anecdotal nuisance and say that I found this community without knowing or interacting with the chapotraphouse podcast or subreddit
