you could also organize, help organize, or join a movement for change. and none of the pussy hat industrial complex bullshit. direct action. go show up, en masse, and make demands. make the powers that be hear you. we cant just run and hide or it will get worse.

imagine being upset that xenophobia, racism and hate are palpable in this country and then shitting on and othering a group of people with sweeping generalizations and absolutes. chill. the people of which you speak have been fooled. feel free to take pity on them but try to think about what got them there. this country, its leaders, and the ruling class have failed us all equally. it just so happens that some people started worse off than others before they were failed. they were not educated in critical thinking enough to resist the rhetoric that has them fooled into believing a billionaire gives one shit about them. i have chosen pity and i have chosen light. i will feel sorry for anyone whos been fooled but they are my countrymen and they are human. i will hope that they come around and i will try to help them understand whats befallen us all, but i will not hate them or drag them. the people that deserve my ire are all in places of power and wealth, and they are people who do not want to share their power or wealth. so fuck em. we are not going to get through this if we are splintered and bitter. we have a lot of work to do and well need to do it together. and while i seriously doubt you will soften on this, and as well i expect to be downvoted for saying this, i do not care. love and light, fam.

99% of us are on the same team. we need to start acting like it. cultural differences aside, we have the same interests. staying alive, housed, and fed chiefly among them.

It indicates where you land on a scale biased in favor of white people.
u/TooFartTooFurious

IQ has a strong racial and cultural bias toward white middle class folks I wouldnt sweat it.

My guess is that they came from households where the adults didn’t watch the news or have a newspaper subscription.

You’re smelling pheromones, and that’s why you like it.
