“Genocide is bad, but…”

There’s no “but”😐

There’s either engaging in active resistance to it

or choosing to pretend citizenship status & voting can serve as forms of protection

under a government that is massacring families in public view, with no regard for public outrage “We must protect our rights!”

The government is able to commit genocide right now precisely because we have no actual rights that are honored by the government or the monied ruling class that controls it

🌊🆘👋🏼🌊 💥☠️🧱☠️💥

“Help! Where are all the military planes?!” ... are we ready to confront how the ruling class intends to kill us all?

or how folks waste time & energy defending wealthy pedophiles instead of uniting in class solidarity against our common oppressors?

or…….?

“Unprecedented climate events” will only become more common 🤷🏾‍♀️

The unfolding assault on democracy & human rights is a “bipartisan” & “patriotic” agenda

It was true in 1865, 1877, 1912, 1945, 1965… 2024 🤷🏾‍♀️

This is the only relevant convo as far as I’m concerned And we can talk about green parties & blue parties & I love colors too

But until we deal in the reality of Black American enslavement & the ubiquity of antiBlackness we’re going in circles 🤷🏾‍♀️

Let me say this, then I’ll explain why I say it:

The 2024 POTUS election is a replay of pandemic denialism in this way— we’re continually told that it’s on individual voters to stop Trump when there’s a whole federal govt refusing to do its part… +

+… In this way Biden Admin, the Democratic Party & the federal govt more broadly avoids any real public accountability for its continued inaction & enablement of Trump

With Covid they turned a global pandemic into a personal problem if you’re too sick to work… +

“We”

We are not the white capitalist owners, friends.

We sell those weapons like we sold cotton, rice & sugar— all of the labor, none of the profits Weapons sales are up. Do you see it reflected in your bank account?

We’re in a day by day situation right now. Absolutely. Not to panic, but also not to deny reality. We knew it was coming, we also knew it would be highly unpredictable in terms of what systems/infrastructure would collapse & when

We see what’s happening with climate disaster + infrastructure failure in major cities + the govt becoming more fascist & militarized

The problem is the bipartisan power structure itself. That’s why the fight for democracy is within the resistance, not the Biden reelection campaign.

The Biden Admin has only enabled & empowered Trump because Biden isn’t a true opponent of Trump’s agenda We are being presented w/ an illusion of choice (though it’s increasingly difficult to maintain the illusion with such unpopular candidates).

The agenda is genocide, Jim Crow & an end to abortion rights. Period. If you don’t want that, you’ll need to get more radical than voting

It’s not, I’m sorry. There’s already been a massive trillion dollar wealth transfer from the working class to the capitalist owner class in the last 4 years alone.

What you’re experiencing is a feeling of being wealthy relative to other low-wealth people, which the vast majority of us are. I wanted to make sure I didn’t misunderstand before I made this point I feel we should all understand— we’re all collectively poorer than we were in 2020. More wealth continues to be taken from us than we are ever allowed to accumulate.

They are not replacing humans. They are replacing types of labor. There’s a difference. They don’t want to “replace humans”. They want to control & dominate humans through human trafficking in perpetuity

Right. But again, Palestinians aren’t “white” & the folks defending the US won’t admit that whiteness shapes their worldview And when I say “whiteness shapes their worldview” I mean a whole lot of nonwhite folks internalize white supremacist ideology too.

Again, the only way as a Black person to identify with the Israeli settlers more than the Palestinians is if your self-image is warped by whiteness

There is literally no daylight between the genocide against Palestine & the daily oppression of being Black in America. I really need folks to understand this. 1/ Our communities, schools, hospitals, libraries, futures…

EVERYTHING is being drained of money & resources—

OUR money & resources, mind you

—and taken by the US govt to murder other Black & brown people, steal their land & give their land to white people. 2/

“We can’t just burn it all down!”

The system we live under presently, colonial capitalism, is collapsing.

It’s an unsustainable economic & social system b/c it’s built on slave labor, past & now

We can sit here & do nothing about it & the system will still collapse around us “We can’t just burn it all down!”

Implies that civilians are the main ones destroying critical infrastructure when it’s clearly the ruling class.

What community is asking anyone to destroy their schools, water systems, public spaces, etc.?

These things are destroyed by policy.

We need more dialogue about the phenomenon of white people using whatever marginalized identity they can claim as a cover for their racist actions against Black, brown & Indigenous people.

A lot of the professed fear over rising antisemitism is exactly that & we must be honest. Even the idea that Israel is necessary b/c the USA isn’t a safe place for white Jewish people in 2023 is such a bald face lie.

Black, brown, Indigenous & Muslim people have never been granted the same proximity to whiteness as Jews of European descent.

Extreme gaslighting

The idea that white people & nations are the only ones with an inherent right to self-defense is yet another byproduct of white supremacy 🤷🏾‍♀️

Israel has been kidnapping Palestinians & holding them hostage all this time & the world barely batted an eye before Oct 7. Western white society is upset because they command us to treat the lives of white Europeans, Americans & Israelis with greater reverence than the lives of any Palestinian, Arab, Black, brown or Muslim people.

Literally all of this is about white domination & Black enslavement.

Again— note the use of terms like “war” & “invasion” to describe the Israeli military storming what is essentially a ghetto that they’ve forced people into. This is like the USA announcing it’s going to blockade & “invade” NYC because there are yet more “terrorists” there

& also that the millions of people who live in NYC with no way to flee may unfortunately be wiped out in the process.

It’s textbook genocide. No gray there.

Yes & also

The elimination of public facilities & amenities in the US is a direct response by the white elite to racial integration No social or political phenomena in the US can be analyzed, understood or explained without consideration of structural whiteness/antiBlack racism

…And this is why Black neoliberalism is only ever an acceleration of antiBlack violence administered & supervised by Black officials A Black mayor who polices Black people even more violently than his racist white predecessors… progress!

Again—there is no such thing as a democratic ethnoreligious nationalist state.

That is an inherent contradiction in terms.

The far right elements advocating for government-sponsored religious extremism—in US, India, Israel, etc—are squarely against democracy & human rights. None of this would even be up for mainstream debate in the USA…

except that it carries implications for structural whiteness & colonialism in 2023 America.

Whiteness isn’t politically neutral & neither are white-centered perspectives of history The problem is the idea that the classroom is politically neutral until people introduce Black or other nonwhite perspectives

5 to 10 years from now we’ll still be uncovering & managing various long term illnesses among people who got infected during these first three years The Covid denialism still blows my mind

Because the actual mainstream position is to not do anything that empowers working class Black communities The insistence on funding police goes hand in hand with the refusal to properly fund housing, schools & other public services.

That’s because this isn’t about public safety but about the ongoing Jim Crow-style racial oppression of Black communities by the government.
