This is why the brushing aside of colonization because “well that was my ancestors not me” doesn’t work. You still benefit from it. You still perpetuate the effects of it. If white people weren’t like their ancestors? They would give these people their land back and let them decide how to move forward. 

Denying them housing on their own land? Being in a position to do that? Is certainly as colonizer as it gets. You are living your ancestors dreams.

Idk how to explain to people that the US isn't declining into fascism, it's been a fascist state since the moment it started with genocide and slavery.

[nonbinary-hawke-deactivated2021]

People on this post keep insisting that it's not fascism because of lack of authoritarianism and not realizing that that's the fucking point.

There was a lack of authoritarianism for most people, most notably white people.

But what about the Native people who were forced into reservations that they weren't allowed to leave without permission? Who weren't allowed to speak their languages or sing their songs or dance their dances?

What about the black people who were forced into slavery and then into segregation? Who were separated from their families and weren't allowed to read or write?

What about the brown immigrants who were paid next to nothing for backbreaking work building a country that they weren't considered a part of? Who were forced to live in controlled housing where their every movement was monitored in case they tried to leave?

The US is and has always been a fascist state. Some people just have the privilege to ignore it.

The Nuremberg Laws disenfranchising Jews and other people under the Nazis were directly inspired by (with credit by Hitler!) America's Jim Crow Laws, to give just one example.

We are starting to call it this because it now affects us, and by us I mean white people.

I honestly never thought of this before. Says a lot about how good public school indoctrination is that I am 32 years old and it just hit me that “a free country but with racist flaws” isn’t free and doesn’t have flaws, it has fascism.

And I’m Jewish. Which, well, see the commenter above me.

This has given me something to really think about.

sometimes i get a little stressed out because i’m living in a part of history that’ll one day be talked about and discussed and papers written and what am i doing? what have i done? laundry, barely

[catgirlcaliphate]

Sometimes I used to wonder what regular folks were doing during eventful periods in history.

Now I’m living in one and yeah, it turns out the answer is laundry, barely.

[fail-boat]

It’s okay to exist in a time of historical change doing laundry, barely.

sorry I cried in front of you I’m still hot though right? <3
