being patient like that definitely a skill that is not always easy to get right, and certainly takes practice.

What it mostly takes is mountains of privilege.

Not to mention that tone policing and demanding faux civility (but only from one side, the other gets to openly support oppressive constructs and still be seen as "well meaning" while those defending their humanity and fighting for survival get framed as the problem) are tools that serve to further oppress already marginalise voices, not uplift them.

Do better.

When it comes to social justice, "friendly debate" usually means "unpaidemotional labor in which you are pressured to be super patient and kind to me while I invalidate your humanity and the humanity of people you love." People's lives are not a thought experiment.

Why do I have to watch my language for fear of alienating allies, when they can watch us die without fear of anything?

He’s propaganda for American exceptionalism sure, but also embodies it in an old school New Deal way. The character has been consistently anti-facist over the years.

Pretending that America isn't only already fascist, but inspired the fascists they are supposedly against is American exceptionalism, and you're eating it right up.

stickers that I don’t want to waste

Permanently sticking it somewhere? That is a tattoo-level commitment, I ain’t doing that.

I have found my people and feel validated 😂

He also wouldn't have made it to this point alive were he Black, nor would he have the same kind of support had he previously spoken out about Black liberation or the Land Back movement for example, rather than how "wokeism" is the cause of racism.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - him shooting a CEO was good and inspiring, putting anyone up on a pedestal, starting a cult of personality, and ignoring some or all of the different systems of oppression at play, is definitely not.

But they're not lying. It's pretty reasonable to believe both that his parents were working class, and that him becoming a class traitor on such a level does make him a hero in capitalist eyes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lol, yeah, the billionaire owned main stream media is completely benign an neutral in its coverage. 🙄

Honestly, what will it take for some of you to stop taking the world at the face value those in power are selling you as reality?

You’re still allowed to have a billion

Why? Why do you feel the need to hold on to this "aspiration"?

You will never become a billionaire, stop defending your exploiters.

A system is what it does.
