We all know the saying: scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds...
I expected to see a bunch of random strangers on social media complaining about the election and suddenly pretending to care about human dignity.
But it hurts to see family, friends, and trusted content creators going down pipelines not dissimilar to Red MAGA pipelines. For as much as they hate Trump supporters, liberals are becoming just like them.
There is one creator on TikTok named Seema R (@artlust) who I occasionally watched. I guess she has a career and education as an art museum curator. Occasionally she dips into political topics, and I never had any major issue with her thoughts on those.
I was going to share a specific video of hers from today, but it has been deleted in the past hour or two. She was practically foaming at the mouth about nonvoters, calling them anti-semites and mocking them for complaining about "gEnOcIdE" as if that is some childish complaint.
(Edit: Here's a video with a similar vibe as the deleted one: https://www.tiktok.com/@artlust/video/7435258288767290654)
The shock of this video gave me a huge sense of dread. I think the election of Trump finally set in, but more than that, I finally let go of some silly hope I had that Trump's re-election would wake up liberals and realize the commies were right. But from all appearances, the exact opposite is happening. Liberals are so fuckin mad about Trump that they're taking it out on the commies. It's going to be a nightmare for the next four years and I fear that America is far more defenseless to rabid fascism than I thought.
'See, Black people can be racist too!!!'
That's you right now
I was one questioning your generalizations. I'm a 3rd world immigrant Burger citizen, who grew up in an American colony. You're handling this matter very indelicately.
Taking some rabidly online redditor here, deranged TikToker there to sully any sort of solidarity between races that usually tend to have solidarity isn't helpful at all. This TikToker herself is demonizing other South Asians for prioritizing the Palestinian issue and here you are using her to broadly brush BIPOC as majority racist (insane), anti-immigrant (insane), and anti-Palestinian.
Pretty sure 140 million people voted for all of those things and only a minority of them were PoC.
Your arguments either go in thousand degrees of abstraction or massive generalizations. There is literally zero difference between the libs making racist complaints about latino voters voting for Trump and you complaining about dark people not voting for him.
Either acknowledge that the entirety of America and its voting citizenry are complicit in the subjugation of the third world or don’t single out PoC voters.
lectures are for libs
