The only way I have been able to make sense of white people’s double standards when it comes to atrocities our governments commit domestically vs abroad is to conclude that the very root of their problem is many of them are fundamentally incapable of seeing nonwhite people as human beings.

Normal person when watching videos of people crying over the corpses of their family who was just murdered by a bomb because America decided to do foreignpolicy: I feel this pain like that were my aunt, and I hate the murderers on their behalf with the intensity I would hate someone who murdered my own family member.
White person watching videos of people crying over their murdered family members’ corpses: Ok we gotta plug this into a flow chart to decide whether we have empathy or not. What color are the victims? What religion are the victims? Who killed them? What color and religion are the people who killed them? Which political party is currently in charge and tentatively culpable? Can we come up with an excuse for why this was just an unfortunate accident and keep doing what we’re doing?
I can say this confidently because I have so frequently seen white people glazing politicians with the blood of millions on their hands. If they actually cared about other people, they would feel the hatred I feel anytime I see a “wholesome” picture of a smiling Bush, or a “wholesome” meme about who charming and folksy and unthreatening Biden is. If they actually cared, they would view this glazing as as distasteful and morally repugnant as if someone were sharing memes about how wholesome Hitler and Goebbels were.
This is facts. Or them having to give bush credit because of their distaste of trump. Act like Obamas only flaw was a tan suit. L The way they downplay these characters I’m telling you they will do the samw with trump mark my words. Especially as their politicians become more unhinged. Go to r/worldnews r/europe on any topic on muslims, trans hell africans… Thats how a lot of those neolibs feel.
Exactly. They were already gearing up to do it for Trump when he had General Qassem Soleimani assassinated, saying he was finally “presidential”. They will do it with Trump.
Fucking Ezra Klein was out praising Charlie Kirk. There is no fascist too monstrous for these liberals to cozy up to, because at the end of the day they’re all on the same western chauvinist white supremacist team.
For real. If trump succeeded in Iran causing untold misery for tens of millions there they would praise him on that. Even if he did that to mexico with the whole cartel angle how long till they whitewash that too?
hope you all have a good next week
I’m trying to figure this out… If this is what fascism is to white folks wtf is what poc and the imperial periphery have been going through called?
something that happened 400 years ago and is part of the past
Poc are getting the brunt of the fascism in America, not white people. This is just white centricism
