can my fellow white gays stop acting like mitski is white? half the criticism or mockery i see of her is just straight-up racism. those posts where white tumblr users call her “micky” or whatever, like. how can you not see how that’s racist? you’re making fun of a japanese woman for her japanese name?

and like when nat leftatlondon and other funny internet white gays parody her music they’re like ~its all about kissing and men its basically lana drl ray~ except shes Not lana del ray and you’re purposefully being ignorant to all of her content? yr best american girl is about assimilation and white american men’s racism. so is strawberry blonde. nobody is about being isolated, overworked, and depressed. townie is about her experiences as a woman of color with strict roles imposed on her. these r all obvious to the listener and she talks about them in interviews so can you please think before u speak? if u don’t like her music just say so. focus on real issues u have with her music instead of how u dont understand herself & her experiences of a bisexual woman of color

Like honestly as someone who grew up on a farm run by a man who didn’t understand why he shouldn’t fly a confederate flag off the farmhouse (even though he was from fuckin’ MAINE), I can tell you that rural conservatives are more eager to listen to socialist ideas than you think. They’ve just been extremely conditioned to think of “socialism” as a dirty word.

If you talk to folks about how their bosses are dickheads and makin’ good friends with their neighbors to get their proper due from the boss and the government, they’ll overwhelmingly want to listen to you.

Rural poor folks fuckin’ hate big money and big business more often than not, they’re just terrified of the word “socialism” because they’ve lived their whole lives being told that the socialists want to take their family home from them and steal all their crops that they’ve lovingly raised from seeds.

The confederate flag is literally a white supremacist symbol. The fact that this post uses it as an example of someone’s general ignorance of *socialism* yet never acknowledges the extremely specific, racist meaning of the confederate flag is incredible. A white person who flies a confederate flag is making a conscious choice to signal their agreement with white supremacist ideology, they’re not doing it because nobody has ever sat down with them and explained what socialism means using one syllable words. They might share your anger at bosses and the government, but whatever potential class consciousness they might have is never gonna extend beyond people who look just like them.

the queen could literally intervene and stop british children from being so malnourished that there has been a widespread return of rickets in the country but she won’t. kate and baldy could do something about this instead of going to various ex-colonies of britain and lecturing locals about the dangers of having too many children whilst they are expecting their third inbred freeloader but they won’t. megan markle and ginger are going on a £120,000 honeymoon. whilst children forced into poverty by the tories fill their pockets with food at school just to get through the weekend. the lifestyle and entitlement of the royal family remains absolutely and completely morally indefensible.
