There’s a troubling train of thought I see some places online- some people think Kanye is being cancelled because he pissed off the “wrong people” (Jews.) That kind of thinking, though often unintentional, still furthers the antisemitic lie that the Jews are the ones “in charge” in some way. In reality, brands are dropping Kanye for a combination of the white lives matter shirt ordeal, his antisemitic comments, and his lies about George Floyd. He is being cancelled for *both* his antisemitism and antiblackness

The way nonblack leftists speak about Black leftists is interesting, to say the least. Yall know nothing about Black liberation or self-determination politics or pretty much ANY Black leftist thought but you feel secure enough to call us overly identitarian and dismiss our concerns about how pervasive antiblackness is within yall spaces (online AND offline) as idpol nonsense. You don't even hold community with Black people. The single drip of knowledge yall possess of Black leftist theory has been run through a filter of at least 15 white and nb breadtube discord voice call conversations and at least one vaush stream before it got to your ears and yet, STILL, you have the gall to tell Black people that WE are the ones who don't read. Okay

#thotty speaks #thotty rants #I do not believe in class analysis without factoring in race because the society we live in is a white supremacist one. #if you need a permanent underclass in order to uphold and maintain capitalism who in a white supremacist society would be the most likely #to be cast as the underclass? #If I told you that all of the tent poles of bigotry work in-service to uphold capitalism too? Antiblackness literally serves to uphold #capitalism and has been used to do so for years #Whiteness as a power structure is literally used to uphold capitalism like yall would know this if you actually read any theory from #Black leftists instead of bitching and moaning because a Black person called you racist on the internet.

Ex-CNN Anchor Presses Billionaire On Claims About Lower Standards For Female And Minority Pilots

Former CNN anchor and now ex-X talk host Don Lemon, released yet another segment of his sit-down interview with X owner Elon Musk today, with the clip showing Lemon pressing Musk about the latter’s claim that the airline industry has lower standards for female and minority pilots than for white male pilots.

Appearing on ABC’s The View today to tout his upcoming, now-YouTube series The Don Lemon Show, Lemon brought along the new interview clip that features a persistent Lemon questioning a seemingly flustered Musk about the pilot issue.

Lemon points out that, after a door-sized panel blew off of an Alaska Airlines/Boeing jet mid-flight, the female pilot landed the plane safely and without further incident.

Musk has repeatedly tweeted and amplified others’ tweets that “DEI” – Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – is being prioritized by the airline industry over safety.

In the clip of the show, set to debut Monday on YouTube and other platforms, Lemon asks Musk, “Do you believe that women and minority pilots are inherently less intelligent and less skilled than white male pilots?”

“No,” Musk replies, “I’m just saying we should not lower standards for them.”

“But,” says Lemon, “there’s no evidence that the standards are being lowered when it comes to the airlines…”

“Ok, you’ve repeatedly said that there’s no evidence that the standards are being lowered,” replies Musk. “Then watch the replies showing all evidence that it is.”

“Replies on social media and twitter are not necessarily fact and evidence,” Lemon says.

something i’ve been thinking about is the intersection of racism & fascism with conspiracy theories/pseudoscience and the supernatural in disco elysium. it’s a well-documented phenomenon irl and i think the game is very good at easing you into the “levels” of how these things are inherently related.

on the surface you have the racist lorry driver, who literally has “racist” in his epithet and is the most out-and-proud racist-fascist you could possibly meet, and measurehead, another open racist and fascist whose nickname is given to him by his belief in phrenology. here we see these people as pretty much cartoonishly racist and very vocal about *why* they believe these things: it all comes down to pseudoscience. these are people who have been convinced that racism is just a fact, justified by science that others are just too “soft” to recognize. we all know about measurehead and his phrenology and such but the RLD also espouses pseudoscience to justify his racism:

and, in addition to this “supporting” his racist beliefs, on top of this he believes in conspiracy theories like an immigrant *Invasion* and an anti-Occidental (anti-white) “cultural victory”, which sounds suspiciously like real-life “white eradication” conspiracy theories:

okay, this is some obviously deeply racist and fascist shit. but it’s not just this. measurehead goes beyond this and believes in other conspiracy theories unrelated to race supremacy, like his thing with semen retention, which is also a real-life conspiracy thing:

i’ll tie this all up at the end, so let’s move on to the next layer. gary is explicitly identified as a cryptofascist by his epithet. a cryptofascist, for those unfamiliar, is someone whose beliefs and ideals align with fascism but who doesn’t openly identify as such because they’re aware of the social unacceptability of it. if you play the fascist route, you’ll have to play as a cryptofascist in order to maintain positive relationships with NPCs and not take constant morale damage from saying fascist things. gary also says blatantly racist things, and here’s where it gets a little deeper than RLD and measurehead: the very basics of what he says are factually true-- that seol exports microtechnology, for example, which ties them to a lot of global governments-- but these actual facts have been spun by fear and *conspiracy theory* into a load of racist bullshit:

and you can actually see in that half light line at the bottom how the fear leverages belief in this stuff! you can argue against gary this whole time and still, an appeal to *fear* can start to slip in through the cracks. gary opens with facts and logic, devolves into fear and conspiracy spinning, and we get another layer of how racist rhetoric and belief spreads. then, to add another layer to the fear angle, you have plaisance. it’s not fear of immigrants with her, though. she’s afraid of this curse-- the supernatural-- that she thinks will be responsible for ending her business, and in her fear she turned to racist caricature and stereotypes:

it’s not the same as the direct “you’re seolite, fuck you” that RLD directs at kim or the “non-occidentals are inferior” he and measurehead parrot or “immigrants are trying to take over the world” that they and gary all buy into. it’s a far more insidious thing: this is something she takes as fact, so deeply that she doesn’t even *question* it. these nonwhite people are special mystical people with magic and that’s just how it is! while it’s not quite conspiracy theory, it’s supernatural, which functions the same as conspiracy when you talk about how racism is rooted in some fundamental disconnect from reality. and this brings us to our final subject, lena. lena comes in from the same angle, a belief in the supernatural (cryptozoology) that ultimately results in racism. (the juxtaposition of cryptozoology/cryptofascism with morell and gary was not an accident!) she seems like a regular sweet old lady who likes cryptids, until you’re randomly slapped across the face with this:

she believes that seolites are a different *species*, and that’s just a fact to her. you point out the racism and she just doubles down-- no, she’s not trying to be offensive, it can be a good thing actually! that’s just nature, just like the cryptids she loves! it’s just fact! and we see this echoed by plaisance and even gary, where they’ll say something deeply racist and follow it up with “but [x group] is very intelligent/crafty/etc as well!” as though saying this somehow cancels out the racism (when in actuality, these “good traits” are part of what they use to fearmonger about these “other” groups they’re so afraid of).

in general this group of characters serves really well to demonstrate how people who are out of touch with reality in other ways (conspiracy, magic, the supernatural, and some extreme forms of spiritualism) are frequently deeply racist as well, and some of them aren’t even aware or doing it intentionally. it really just comes with the territory, and some people choose to lean into it while others aren’t even aware of it, which is why the process of recognition and unlearning is so important when considering the latter population.

#i see lots of people surprised by lena but i don't think i've ever seen anyone acknowledge what plaisance says #i'm set to do an internship with a linguistics team studying conspiracy theory so i was thinking about this in the game #and wanted to compile a post #because i think the interplay of the racists & their *paranatural* beliefs was a good way of addressing these things #while having limited space in the narrative to actually work with it #this isn't fully comprehensive i know but i think i have the basics covered #unfortunately seol is handled very badly by the writers in general though and i've talked about that before #the racism shit goes all the way down #kiwipost #disco elysium #disco elysium meta #gen meta

this may be a misworded take but: watching (white) conservatives cover the current israel/palestine conflict happening and act as though they’ve always cared about jewish people antisemitism yadda yadda is so fucking (un)funny like. no. no. no. you don’t care about any of that shit. you don’t give the slightest fuck about jewish people, you’re only pretending to care about them because right now the people in israel are currently bombing and genociding the one group of people you hate more

#free palestine #palestine #israel #yesterday I saw a clip of some fuckers on fox news the so called “unbiased news service” #say they wanted the people protesting for palestine’s freedom “in strait jackets” and “locked in a psyche ward” #hope every one of those ableist racist pieces of shit get hit by cars I’m not joking. fucking despicable #news #politics #israel hamas war #*calls ppl wanting palestine’s freedom antisemitic* #*will then proceed to regurgitate the “there is a secret group controlling the world the economy etc” conspiracy theory like its nothing* #again this may be misworded. but idk. just all this shit makes me soo mad #hamas #current events #genocide mention #gaza

convincing the graduate chair that it’s fine to give me an extra month to study for my comprehensive exams by giving me the comps list early by explaining that there’s no way in hell im studying with any of the other phd students in my cohort

#the moment I discovered the phrase little eichmanns it permanently etched itself into my vocabulary #because that’s what all of them are #they’re all fucking rich white progressive racist types who think they’re above reading theory. fucking ghoulish human beings #and I know they’re gonna beg me to give them all my notes and teach them how to read marx #because that’s what they’ve been doing all semester #you’re a PhD social science student the fact that you don’t like theory isn’t my problem! Drop out if it’s that hard #go work at your dad’s firm or whatever

[nerves-nebula]

maybe its just me but it does actually kinda piss me off when ppl respond to others posts about like theory or politics or something with "name 3 black scholars without looking it up" or "name the black woman who wrote about this without looking her up" cuz like. shut the fuck up.

as if memorizing people's names is more important than the ideas that are represented. i've got a shit memory dickhead i don't remember most of my classmates names and i see them in real life!

but more importantly than that- black people aren't fucking political pokemon for you to prove your superiority about by spouting off more of our names than your opponent. christ.

#nnstuff #rambling #i get the point when black ppl do this cuz its like #about how you prolly dont even listen to black ppls issues #it still annoys me but i GET IT #but when nonblack ppl do this about black scholars and educators and activists it makes me soooo annoyed #its on par with just telling someone to 'read theory' except more racist

Some fucking psychopath saw the story about a six year old shooting his teacher and was trying to “inform me” that children in New Mexico are being “trained” to carry out school shootings in America, based on how many minority students of that district are there.`

Because of course gun nuts are going to go straight to racism every chance they get.

And course they’re going to ignore the fact that most mass shooters in America are white and have been born in America. (Y’know, because that’s how statistics works.) The one time the child could be Hispanic they’re going to jump on it.

People were calling for a total ban of immigrants crossing the border (specifically the brown ones) as soon as they found out that the Uvalde shooter from North Dakota has a Hispanic-sounding last name.

All gun nuts really are are bigots who hopes to have the opportunity to kill people and call it “self defense.”

Edit: I guess I misread what they were saying. I was thinking that they were saying a new Mexico compound, like it’s been recently made. Not that people are training children to commit school shootings in New Mexico, the state.

not to vague post, but the fact that the loz lore community is made up of mostly white american men (not on tumblr) makes me wanna scream

I swear to god they'll see some random detail about these games and then write an 80 page dissertation on race theory or some lore about savage and barbaric tribes who regressed from their advanced society of godly superiors.

please can u at least pretend to be able to think of anything creative and nice? worlds ur oyster, hyperfocus on something constructive.

#turning reblogs off b/c i don't like to make posts like this #but man i really get frustrated w/ the lore side of the fandom #idk they just irk me so bad #its mainly the zonai ppl #i cannot stand the zonai dudes #shut up about the zonai #at the very least can u pretend to have any respect for like idk the ancient human cultures instead of reducing them to fucking #indigenous stereotypes circa 1700 PLEASE #you could weave a pretty interesting story about imperialism or colonialism (well they couldn't) that doesn't reduce it to like #a LITERALLY nordic ass fucking racist conspiracy theory for peabrains #sorry im going off here #im probably gonna delete this #but ahhhh

my how to write a short story video hitting the algorithm and gaining 4.5k views in a month is soooo important to me like that “formula” is one of my best pieces of writing theory I’ve put out!!!

#that video FLOPPPPEEEDDD when it came out which I didn’t rlly care abt but I kinda did cuz I put a lot of effort into it LOL #BUUUUT goes to show how random algorithms are! #it randomly hit the algorithm in May and TOOK off in august! I think I posted it in December !! #like what’s most exciting isn’t the views to be clear lol BUT the fact that more ppl know this writing theory #I’m so passionate about it I shared it with my workshop & my prof asked if he could share it with the intro writing class LOLLL #Rachel really should be a prof but I hate academia bc the institution is racist and ableist etc & I would die <3333 #I EXPANDED on what was in the video ACTUALLY I should post the updated memo here!

im gonna keep it real w you. "all prejudice is actually rooted in class and if you think there's any element of xenophobia in any of it you're actually a fascist" is a really stupid and unhelpful take

#red rambles #you need to be able to understand the enemy (fascists racists bougies etc) to understand how to fight them #dont do . this shit and cut yourself off from the understanding in order to justify a view of the world that suits your theory better' #its unuseful. idc how nice it sounds. ending the concept of class will help a lot yes but god pretending there's no reason that The Other #is the one being oppressed in almost all cases of oppression is fucking. Its stupid. its shortsighted #people are xenophobic and this xenophobia is reinforced constantly in society #racism is an outgrowth of the fear of difference. so is a lot of other shit. classism isnt necessarily but cultural stereotypes about lower #classes promote it and it's useful to keep people divided #augh.
