Yeah cause if you say stuff like that around right wingers they’ll just say you’re doing reverse racism. And if you say it around liberals they’ll say it’s too violent and uncivil. It’s an insult that only works on people who already agree with you.
And even if people understand rationally that it’s jokes, it’s not actually racist, etc., in their heart of hearts it feels like they’re unwanted even in their own niche online political subculture that they’ve alienated everything else in life to fit into. And since most of us are in the west there’s little actual movement to be a part of, so it is just alienating and lonely. That’s the only reason this website exists.
If people don’t fit in with normal people in their lives and they don’t fit in even in the weird niche they have left, what’s left? And the response is who cares about white tears, why prejudice the comfort of white people over liberation for oppressed minorities. Which makes sense…but it making sense doesn’t make you not feel bad about it.
Obviously the real answer is to not care at all about anything anyone posts online. Because it’s all fake and silly. I don’t know anyone here. But if it’s okay to make jokes about the mayocide, I should be allowed to joke about starting it locally on myself
