Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao
It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"
Passed the White Pharaoh on the freeway
I often forgot the impact I have on others lives
It’s hard to believe I truly matter to anyone
I give so much and rarely feel it matched
And then I see it
A memory of me in their smile
And I remember why I’m here
When the CEO of the company that didn't turn away Nazi business says "this isn't going to work" you know it's bad.
404 has been knocking it out of the park since they started. Please support their original reporting on this! If you subscribe to nothing else I highly recommend them. Their podcast is great too.
Planning documents for "Scout" say the plan is to "make people addicted" to the tool before adding new features.
with the fact that the uk race riots are happening in belfast too perhaps white usamericans/canadians can stop pretending that being irish or having irish ancestry inherently makes someone progressive or anti racist lol idk why they became convinced of this but it does my head in
transsexual summer
this morning i got a spam call that just played clown waiting music for a few seconds and then hung up on me. which really pissed me off a lot
I'm imagining a world where RPGMaker somehow made it as the de facto codebase for software and you have to navigate your banking app by walking around in a huge room full of NPCs named "make deposit" and "make withdrawal" etc and there's loud as fuck stock music playing
rest in peace george michael you would’ve done numbers on here
Cool, and I'm so very glad that they figured this out!
Maybe next they can figure out an open and democratic election!
My little pony themed anti communist lol
i think what confuses me the most about how white liberals have knee jerk reactions to poc not tolerating fascist is if the fascist just didnt exist we would not have these issues like the world would quite literally be a better place if everyone was in lockstep and agreed “anyone who thinks xyz minority is subhuman is not allowed among us in any capacity” like it is not a hard ask, that is the lowest bar in the world u would think we are asking them to split a atom or something, they just dont see how believing other people are not people based on race is inherently violent like there is no way for that belief to be held without you being a danger to other people
literally like its crazy it’s crazy to be constantly told you have to shake hands and move on about people who are saying to your face they see no difference between you and a monkey deserving of being put in a cage. Over Skin Color.
this was written 100 years ago but it reads like a post i would make on my tumblr blog in 2026
abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
Brown eyes are so iconic and beautiful
Green eyes are even more iconic and beautiful.
If i met a white person irl I’d beat the shit out of them and mug them just because of this post. Because of you. Maybe even kill them. Because of you. You had to say this and now some random cracker bitch is gonna die. Are you happy? Was it worth it?
these are getting weird
Im sorry but there is a significant sector of the "pro palestinian" movement that move and act like liberal Zionists and we need to address this. People think that this is in opposition to addressing the right wing grift but I dont think it is. Call out the nazi accounts using nazi language online but theyre not significamt enough and not shifting the goalposts. The people diluting the militant politics of the palestinian movement are the ones tone policing palestinians who lived in palestine, the ones who are saying "you dont have to support hamas" which as a palestinian sounds to me like "you dont have to support the largest armed resistance against zionist invasion," the ones prioritizing mamdani and other "progressive" candidates, alot of the people who call themselves former zionist have not unlearned their zionism and should never have been accepted into antizionist circles. It is exhausting witnessing it and no one addressing the very real and damaging liberal grift
The Palestinian liberation movement will always primarily located be on the front lines of the Palestinian resistance. You either support our resistance, or you don't. That is the litmus test. There is no place for handwringing, there is no normalization acceptable. Do not mince words, do not compromise.
You have all watched some of the worst crimes against humanity be livestreamed to you for years. Do not compromise with this.
Show your unabashed support for the people fighting it: our resistance.
We’ve grown up in a deeply anti-social society that has abolished and punished existing in public for youth and the oppressed and priced out the poor from leisure but if you’re going to call yourself a communist you can’t be promoting social isolation and alienation as “understandable” via identity politics.
That’s how we lose and we all get killed. YOU need to be social if you consider yourself a revolutionary and not merely a sympathizer. How are you going to organize the masses without leaving your house and encouraging others to do the same, because it’s discomforting, potentially risky and won’t be easy? Revolution is risk. If you wanted to avoid risky social interactions, you wouldn’t go down the path of being a black sheep by calling yourself a communist revolutionary.
There’s risk in socializing, there’s also risk in organizing and you can’t organize if you can’t socialize! Socializing with your coworkers and neighbors, building connections past alienation, and discussing shared conditions and grievances as workers and tenants is the practice and your homework for organizing a union, a vanguard party or a people’s army.
I’ve had to overcome social anxiety in order to achieve goals greater than myself. This is a skill, not an inborn talent. Challenge yourself because ultimately what we need is to build the conditions to meet the moment, those final series of crises, and that includes at a very basic level that doesn’t exist in places like the United States is community.
You as a communist should be someone who (if able) can be relied upon by your peers. You should be concerned and investigative. You should genuinely care about the lives and the conditions of those around you, because people can smell a salesman.
As a communist you’re not trying to sell somebody on an advertisement for your lifestyle brand, you’re trying to organize people to realize their own capacity for creating social change and leadership. You need to at least attempt to be charming, charismatic, educated, humble and selfless.
Combat your own anti-social tendencies. The ruling class wants you isolated, alone and alienated not only from labor but from humanity itself.
We are trying to win a new future for global humanity in the face of our ongoing climate change induced mass extinction event and the resurgence in fascist and far right politics globally. Take it seriously. Engage with what the masses around you are experiencing, immerse yourself amongst their ranks.
You already are a proletarian and a tenant likely, you’re around workers and tenants all the time, but you haven’t broken the capitalist programming that has told you to resent other people for wasting your valuable time and peace which is money lost, to fear social risk and failure so much you avoid socializing altogether, and prevents you from gathering in too large a mass of your class comrades in the explicit interest of the bourgeoisie’s counterinsurgency efforts.
Stop listening to tumblr’s glorification of the loser and why it’s okay if you just bedrot forever. If the only thing keeping you from leaving the house is fear of socializing and not a disability, I’m sorry but communism is a philosophy of action and as a fellow traveler you have a responsibility and obligation to protect the people around you by collectivizing into a unified mass movement. You also have to do it for the people who genuinely cannot leave their homes. They also deserve protection from a worsening fascist government.
