Because I recently had to crumple up a cracKKKa who wandered into this community, uhh, let me be clear:
EM POC ONLY
Thank you. With that aside, welcome to this week’s featured EM POC thread.
How are all my comrades doing?

Another thing against the generation shit: most of them are based on white western mostly anglo speakers of that generation, the definition of gen z fits mostly white middle class Americans, “the generation the grew up on phones” only in the west the rest of them in the third world didn’t, even when being critical of things some will say “most of gen z lingo is stolen from AAL” as in white people taking slang from African Americans, when people say gen z they don’t include black people born from 1995 to 2010. Boomers aren’t inherently racist Trump supporters, Xoomers aren’t inherently centrist edgelords, mellenials aren’t inherently Harry potter avocado hillary clinton, these are white features not generational features.
A lot of black Boomers straight-up took bullets for civil rights or shot klansman and cops. It’s often overlooked in generational discourse.
Something that really hit home for me listening to Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City was that I’m around the same age as Kendrick Lamar and yet his experiences of the '90s were awful. I’ve known about the Rodney King riots because I was alive at the time, but GKmC put it into perspective there were people whose childhoods were affected by those same riots. Columbine was a shock, as well as the Oklahoma City Bombing, but it doesn’t compare living in a place at the height of the Blood-Crips feud.
My point is how it’s utterly bizarre generations get lumped together while ignoring other factors. Kids who grew up in Compton in the '80s and '90s have more in common with kids who grew up in New York during the 1920s and '30s than they do with kids the same age who grew up in suburbs. Lumping generations together like this seems bad for even capitalists. They’re leaving money on the table when they market products towards a generation without considering how different experiences can be within that generation.

this is what me think of this.

Too bad, because who’s got the media infrastructure and English language to dominate the Anglophone conversation, the
Pretty much. I’ve heard younger Indians and Saudis refer to their older generations as “boomers.” Even Russian liberals call the generation nostalgic for the USSR “boomers.”
dang i really would despise most of the people on this site irl but this empoc comm is nice
This is the only comm on Hexbear where I can expect it to be pretty much completely free of garbage. Some things may fall through the cracKKKs every now and then, but, y’know, I fix it real quick.
Did something happen on here?
people typed
That would do it
Just saw the phrase “no n word November”
I think we’re in actual hell
Are the
s okay?The implication that they’re only doing it for the month…
Perhaps they’d like No noggin November better
okay okay okay my last rant, I remember sometime when I was a kid, idk how old I was, but I remember seeing a post talking about the myth of camel spiders in Iraqi and how Americans used it to gain sympathy for their soldiers, and the first thing I thought of was “Iraqis and by extension we aren’t humans to these people”, they show this hoax of a big ass spider that apparently eats people or something in Iraq and they used it to say “oooh our poor wittle twoops” instead of having sympathy towards the Iraqi people for dealing with them, or idk better yet THE AMERICAN SOLDIERS MURDERING RAPING AND TORTURING THEM.
okay okay okay my last rant
no, keep ranting, NOW!
i agree, always get some good insight from a Rania comment
no rant, only love, everyday I grow more love and appreciation towards y’all that I didn’t know was possible, like I don’t know how but it keeps happening, love y’all moah moah

Going to the clinic soon because I hit my head
Thanks
Ow… good well, soon, Compy
Oh nooo, hopefully it turns out alright
I do not want to go to class tomorrow…
I’m way too cool for school
Good luck, comrade
I have similar vibes too as well
Me too, but i have a presentation
Don’t worry, if you can set up one of those Indigenous megathreads, you can prolly do it…
Nah, sadly i have to talk about the interworking of the secretary of culture of México, no fun indigenous culture facts
Although one proyect is a cientific article about sichuan pre and post the introduction of chili peppers and it should be fun
Well they already normalise killing brown people abroad. May as well normalize kkk outfits. There’s barely any black people in canada and they’re going absolutely stupid over indian immigrants there.

holy shit death to kkkanada
KKKlanada, as of de rigeur…
Instead of New Afrikans and East-Asians, they have mainly refined hate against South-Asians, and Indigenous Peoples…
I did a 40km day hike last week, a personal record.
Wasn’t even intentional, but the path I was supposed to take was closed because of a landslip and had to take a detour and just decided to walk back instead of using the bus.
Pretty happy about that.
And I have been managing my anxiety quite well lately too so can’t complain.
How are all my comrades doing?
Alhamdulillah things are looking up in my life.
stressed. but i went to a ren fair yesterday.
Honestly, I feel like with how doomery everything has been as of late, I needed to hear this. Glad for you.
First, UlyssesT, now sneak100… Ah crud…
What happened
Their accounts are gone… deleted
UlyssesT is gone? Did they say why?

Strange. Nobody cares about lemmy, let alone hexbear.
Could be somethin’ else… the closest thing I’ve heard of anyone public caring of Lemmy’s politics was this niche study on extreme left rhetoric, focusing on Lemmygrad, that we dunked upon…
😮😮😮😮😮
Curious if any other trans people share this sentiment with me but the whole trans thing ended up being a lot less big of a deal than I thought
It’s infinitely easier for me to find cis people who are cool with me being trans than Americans who aren’t weird about me being a minority
I have less attachment to being transgender. I don’t really think of myself like that much. I’m just a woman and I’d like to be treated as one by the people around me. I have very little in common with almost every other trans person I have met in real life.
Due to the nature of intersectionality, I feel as if discrimination against my blackness and my transness are already usually meshed together as one thing anyway. Sometimes, it just seems like one side of the two is emphasized far more than the other, but ultimately, to answer your question to the best of my ability: I’m generally far more comfortable hanging out with black cishet people than I am doing so with white trans/queer people.
White trans / queer people stop obsessing over my race and tokenizening me in the most ignorant way possible… I feel you so much
