  • My friend was stunned at his nazi solute. I was just happy it jolted her awake to the reality I already knew. Who these people hate, who ALL these people hate, is us. The working classes. @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world and I are both Jewish (him moreso than me, I’m just an inheritor of many cultural traditions, but not the religious traditions), but that’s just… A convenient difference we have from most of the people around us that they can use to pin the world’s problems on us. Once we’re gone, it will be someone else after that. This time they’re not starting with the Jews. They’re starting with the Latin Americans. But just like last time they’re starting with the queer folk first, too. But once the queers and the Latin Americans are no longer available to scapegoat, it will be someone else. Muslims, Jews, Asians, someone. It doesn’t really matter. Not to them anyway. And not to you, or at least it shouldn’t. Start making the biggest coalition you can to stand against all this. It’s a race against time. It’s a race to build the biggest group of people to stand against this, to refuse to squeeze the triggers and refuse to launch the missiles at the orange fuhrer’s command before the order comes.

    Please. PLEASE. PLEASE put in the work for this. It’s worth doing. Don’t just do nothing.

    that’s the thing with hegemony. it’s so pervasive in how it programs you that you don’t even see it. you’re not even aware there are alternatives until someone jostles you awake. we live in a patriarchal white supremacist christofascist society. the enforcers of this status quo don’t all even understand that these are not genetically imparted truths inherent to our living situations, but rather social constructs enforced on us.

    and i’m sure i have hegemonic blind spots too. i try my best to see out into the world and hear perspectives that aren’t my own so i can have access to the full truth. i fall short sometimes. none of us can see all things everywhere. the best you can do is have patience with sleep walkers who are non violent threats, protect people from violent threats, and be open to the idea that you can be wrong, and hope that by living with kindness and compassion you can do your part to create the enlightened society we all dream of, even the christofascist followers, where all are free.
