#the skinny of it being that white women tend to impose the standards of white womenhood laid out by white patriarchy onto those who they ar

repeat after me: if you are the descendent of colonizers living on stolen land, you do not get to judge the methods of decolonial resistance movements.
#this isn’t in relation to the last reblog itself it just reminded me of something
#thoughts
#sarahofmagdelene has some good shorts about this on insta though
#like specifically abt how it relates to white feminism + patriarchal notions of (white) womanhood
#the skinny of it being that white women tend to impose the standards of white womenhood laid out by white patriarchy onto those who they ar
#*womanhood
#(sorry all over the place today)
#complicit in the oppression of with the added specifically racialized view of violent resistance through the lens of various savage tropes
#have to get a copy of her book after the strike tbh
#but yeah i think a lot about this in congruence with how authoritarianism is such a deeply engrained aspect of whiteness & how that itself
#contributes to the attitudes being discussed here being so prevalent even among my fellow white people who consider themselves leftist or
#progressive (& how that relates to how many white people are liberals/neoliberals posing as being farther left than they are)
#but if we were to relate this specifically to the last reblog i would like to point out that another part of that is the whiteness frames
#good & bad as an immutable either/or binary & the way super fucked up notions of purity play into whiteness
#which (not an excuse absolutely not acting like this is still 100000% white supremacist at its core) is what leads my fellow white people t
#be so fearful of having current or past wrong doings pointed out as such & why so many are more concerned with being seen as racist than w
#the actual racism they perpetuate/garner privilege from
#because that means being horrible with no chance of change (thoug oppressed ppl do 100% hold the right to view their oppressors as such
#the white guilt this often leads to when self imposed is what leads to attitudes like the article from the last post describes)
#(& so the difference of perspective in the oppressed feeling that way & the oppressor using it to self flagellate is v important here)
#& all of this is ultimately rooted in the carcerality inherent to whiteness as a social construct
#both in terms of the far worse tangible violence imposed upon poc (particularly black people & fn ppl here in canada) & the carceral view o
#morality white “culture” imposes upon those white people who are unwilling to fully do the work to divest from whiteness
#hope this is coherent
#also if any of this is out of line plz lmk
#but basically to cut to the chase power (& as a result empowerment of the oppressed) viewed through the lens whiteness has set for it will
#always be fucked up & lead to completely racist conclusions about liberation movements for poc
#& the reason i mention this in relation to decolonial movements specifically is due to whiteness being an inherently colonial construct it’
#*itself
#racism
