the fact that there are white people going "omg they're just like us" about people in south, south east, south west asia and africa and south america like it's some huge revelation that we're all human is so fucking dismal to me. what do you mean you never considered the personhood of the people who don't look like you or don't have your culture? why do you think that you're unique in your suffering? why do you think you deserve praise for realizing that we're all human?
people sometimes ask if I'd ever consider becoming a university professor and I'm like yeah sure I'd love to do a shit-tonne of unpaid busywork in the sexual harassment factory just so some cis guy can plagiarise my work while my debt-crushed students get arrested for daring to question why their fees are being invested in weapons companies
