I love how some peeps are posting all over the board about reason and facts and the importance of ish like gratitude and kindness.
and then in the same fucking posts insult and debase each other. even in the 'nice' posts, all these digs at the other side.
and I love how peeps who probably don't really know many peeps who belong to 'special interest groups' (when it comes to marginalized communities, the corporate elite are not an interest group of course) don't really listen to what peeps have to say.
have such authoritative understanding of their experiences and dreams and needs.
not just referring to this thread btw, think it's awesome any time two peeps can converse without it becoming a flame war of assaults on personhood.
just this thread made me want to post this, that's all
back on topic
I also love when people find some sort of sick pleasure in the fact that working and middle class white males are starting to experience the same shit poor and racialized peeps have known all too well all along.
most peeps who voted trump aren't the enemy, neither are those who abhor him. working class white men have legitimate issues. what I personally find issue with is the sorts of ideologies that are currently being associated with -and encouraged by- those issues.
access to resources and power and wealth need not be a zero sum game and while we're all squabbling amongst ourselves the elite win and will continue to do so
you can't forge alliances with people who are different from you for mutual benefit while simultaneously dehumanizing and mocking and acting like one knows what the other person thinks and feels and has experienced.
lol as a species we'll never resolve the middle east issues at this point. y'all in the states can't seem to do it either
no disrespect to anyone intended by this, just gets kinda frustrating to me sometimes
