tyger | 24 | they/them | sheep in wolf's clothing | jan pali pi ma ali, o kama kulupu! | “No matter how bad a problem is, you can always make it worse. [...] people talk about expecting the best but preparing for the worst, but [...] there's a whole spectrum of bad possibilities. The only thing that would really qualify as the worst would be not having a plan for how to cope.”
thinkign about how out-of-context this panel looks like falin experiencing the worst post-nut clarity known to mankind after epic say gex with marcille
it's actually impossible to cynically leverage one's own status as a member of an oppressed group to deflect criticism and rally others from that group to you, because being oppressed is bad for you. anyway time to see what all the usamerican minorities are saying to latinoamericans online, or maybe look through today's news and see how many dead palestinian children have been added to the Antisemitism List
The discourse from Usamericans has gone from "it is antiblack of Latinoamericans to point out Usamericans benefit from imperialism because there's black people here" to "it is antiblack of Latinoamericans to protest the fact we're colonizing them because our vice-president is black". So cool. I hope the USA sinks into the sea.
We must not depict socialism as if socialists will bring it to us on a plate all nicely dressed. That will never happen. Not a single problem of the class struggle has ever been solved in history except by violence. When violence is exercised by the working people, by the mass of exploited against the exploiters—then we are for it! And we are not in the least disturbed by the howls of those people who consciously or unconsciously side with the bourgeoisie, or who are so frightened by them, so oppressed by their rule, that they have been flung into consternation at the sight of this unprecedentedly acute class struggle, have burst into tears, forgotten all their premises and demand that we perform the impossible, that we socialists achieve complete victory without fighting against the exploiters and without suppressing their resistance.
-V. I. Lenin, 1918
