  • To Blame the Victim

    I am a simple man. I wish only to live a simple life.

    But they push and they push. I read of white men in Europe and the Anglosphere, regurgitate non-sense about how they are being replaced. Many of these men are from Euro-Settler Colonial Societies, that have committed genocides and now claim to be victims.

    I read about how in the U.S. white males complain of no work, how the good jobs have left. Well maybe that is true, but that is capitalism. That is the ideology they applaud.

    These men, do not take account that B.I.P.O.C. in the U.S. also are struggling with job safety. We that do not have the same intergenerational wealth. We that are over-policed, and deal with overt and structural racism, and even lateral violence on the daily.

    Those privileged white males act like we have real political power.
    They act as if their countries economy was not enriched by the war industry, that kills brown people at will.

    They play victim of the same greedy evil capitalistic system that they applaud.

    Now I say to them “pull up your
    boot straps, whats up then, why you crying?”

    You are from the empire that has gotten
    rich off the suffering of others. The suffering of those students your government had murdered, world wide, that you never cared
    to learn their stories.

    The suffering of people tortured, that you never even bothered to
    read about it, or push so that evil would never again be done in your name.

    You play the victim, but you are the perpetrators who murder and dissappear indigenous women. You are from the empire that trains the death squads to do their dirty work.

    You voted an evil hate monger into office, who does not work to curve the carbon footprint of the country, he pushes to abolish enviromental protection laws. Who is the biggest polluter on the planet?

    A man was shot a few days ago, and you flew his body aboard a presidential plane. Why didn’t the bodies of Malcolm X, or Martin Luther King Jr. get the same treatment?

    They are threatening people who say anything about this white nationalist, who was probably killed by another white nationalist, and yet say nothing when Stephen Miller or Donald Trump dehumanize people. They say nothing of those dying in immigration detention, or the millions they starve worldwide with their economic policies.

    What Left?

    The Oligarchs with real power, keep talking about “The Left” What left? You have two PRO WAR, PRO GENOCIDE, PRO BIG BUSINESS parties.

    It is simple people that ask for you to stop killing and funding and arming genocides that you label the enemy. People that want peace and a more just world are what you consider your enemy.

    You do not fool anyone, you just throw labels around, so you can kill B.I.P.O.C. and continue your evil class war.

  • They Don’t Even Hide It Anymore

    I have Worked as a tour guide in Berlin for 11 years. I have met many white supremacists. I have met many from the United States alone. I always found it weird how infatuated many were with the nazis. They liked the uniforms and seemed really way too interested in the subject, and for wrong reasons, I would say.

    This is why when this whole Donald Trump wave started, I could see how these racists were being catered to by something that had always intrigued and fascinated them. This is why racist presidents and their racist minions who do nazi salutes at the presidential inauguration do not really surprise me.

    Genocidal History

    It is well known that United States has always been carrying out nazi policies, even before the term “nazi” was created. If you study their history of genocide and slavery. Study their history of convict leasing, read about the Homestead Strike, the Haymarket Affair, and about the Palmer Raids, and their infatuation on crushing labor and the left. Read up on redlining, segregation, white citizen councils, Bombingham, study their history of forced sterilizations, study their racist immigration policies and quotas, and their continual wars against BIPOC.

    The New Age of Fascism

    Disgusting racist politicians that would say anything to get elected even if it endangered BIPOC by emboldening racists are not an anomaly. They are the people that racist society produce. They are reflections of the society. They reflect the majority thinking in the society, products of their environment. Just look at the people that elected them. Just look at other politicians in the background, seeing that the road has been laid out for them and jumping at the opportunity to say what is on their mind.

    A country whose majority of people could care less about the hierarchy system, that systemic racism has in place. Where some are treated as second class citizens and looked down upon. Where the majority of its people could care less who is dying as long as the price of their gasoline is cheap. A country where the majority of its people never seem to question, why their governments are always bombing BIPOC, and instead say evil things like, “why don’t we just nuke them” knowing full well they wouldn’t feel the same if the country they are at war with had a population that was majority white. just study at the disparities in how South East Asia was bombed, compared to Nazi Germany.

    So don’t be shocked by these opportunistic, dishonest,nationalist, xenophobic, greedy, obnoxiously racist, entitled, priviledged, arrogant, selfish people. The are just reflections of your society.
