Ngl the split between Twitter and tumblr/bsky in terms of transmisogyny/transmisogynoir and white supremacy feels almost identical to how it felt racially to move from Montana to DC.
Like yeag Iâm a lot less likely to be called a slur because theyâre so caught up in Looking Right, but itâs replaced by near omnipresent gaslighting, intensification of the panopticon for Identified Targets, and using âsocial justiceâ language to say the same damn things while Looking Right because they just canât get *caught* upholding white supremacy.
Meanwhile both cohorts have a vested interest in lynching me, just in one the KKK directly threatens to set my parents house on fire, the other white âLeftistsâ either try to find a justification to ârightfullyâ lynch you, or try to make existence so hellish you do the job for them.
Like, yâall ainât all that different beyond the language/playacting you do, the difference is mainly in which tactics. Both groups of whites and their collaborators believe theyâre good people just trying to save their community from a Threat. Theyâre âdoing the right thing!â Just one is consciously upholding white supremacy and the other is unconsciously doing it bc they was raised in, and live in, a white supremacist society.
Theyâre trying to âfixâ white supremacy so theyâre included as âproperly whiteâ to the former group when theyâre an otherwise marginalized white, not abolish whiteness.
Theyâre out here Queering White Supremacy(tm)
And the collaborators will be just as bad because they think if they sacrifice enough marginalized folks, theyâll get given an honorary white card, without realizing that sometimes the whites will lynch âthe good onesâ to make a point.
You cannot escape white supremacy, you canât fix it, you can only fight for its abolishment. Anything else is just upholding it.
