Some of the nihilism I'm seeing on the skyline is why Black people say y'all wouldn't last an hour as us, btw.

Because they are ppl that never had to struggle. Or are coming to the conclusion that the illusion was to cover their eyes to reality of others.

These yt people are giving up after something small like the Supreme Court saying the criminal president can do whatever he wants; imagine what they’d do if the Court ruled that they weren’t citizens! Twice!

I tried that + denial during the last US election (I'm Canadian) + surprisingly it didn't work too well (i'm dumb). We have a lot to learn from Black people in the Americas, esp as a trans person I'm now understanding how important it is to watch, observe, protect yourself but keep going/resisting.

The north remembers how they wailed after 2 weeks of discussing racism and state violence for 2 weeks in 2020.

As a white person, I agree with this. If I were black, I would get shot the first time I interacted with a cop.

Oh absolutely. We are soft. We are all belly and no backbone. We’ve been raised to believe everything will work out in our favor because… usually it does. And then like a spoilt child being told “no” for the first time, we break at any inconvenience. Myself included.

You’re absolutely right. I was telling my husband the other day that black women won the last election and they will win the next one so let’s do our best to get in line with them. Seeing my fellow pale folk talking about moving to Europe and getting really pissed at their attitudes.

I'm white, so I see SO MUCH of it on the day to day. People who just fall over helpless at the slightest setback. The preponderance leans white, male, cishet. I have a phrase for it: "He has the handicap of being a white guy." No emotional fortitude AT ALL.

It’s so irritating that people become nihilistic like that because having that mindset ENSURES that things don’t get better and you don’t continue the fight for progress. White moderate liberals doing what they do best imo
