exactly, @naefool.
Freud and Einstein wrote about it in letters to each other:
“There is but one sure way of ending war and that is the establishment, by common consent, of a central control which shall have the last word in every conflict of interests.”

@naefool likewise!
in my humble, but considerable, opinion we ought to focus on a mass education campaign around the theory behind equal rights for all
Einstein and Freud exchanged letters making it clear that a lack of equal rights and the lack of an effective international court for conflict resolution were the key causes of war
the fight to educate others about human rights is the fight against war

My favorite hot sauce is Heinz. #WhiteMastodon
A room full of white people with different interests is not “diverse.” Please stop referring to #WhiteMastodon as being “diverse.”
Dear #WhiteMastodon: you’re mostly incapable of understanding why many of us do not want to federate with #Meta. Stop trying to explain to us that we will somehow hurt ourselves by not associating with people using a service run by a soulless man who couldn’t care less about net safety. If they really want to join the fediverse, they can do so the same way we did. Meta is like the cruise ship of social media. It’s gross, and the folks on it really don’t care about the scenery.
A #bot from toot.community attempted a #TargetedAttack against me. I’ve now blocked the entire instance as a result. Instances that allow such things to occur are NOT run by good admins/mods.
This is an attempt to silence #MuslimVoices.
#IslamophobiaIsBigotry #WhiteMastodon
@muslimdon @islamophobia
#Receipts. Nothing more, nothing less.
Because #WhiteMastodon doesn’t think there’s an #Islamophobia problem here. It’s. Fucking. Everywhere.
And I will NOT be hiding the names of these bigots any longer.
Don’t tell minorities to simply mute and block. #WhiteMastodon needs to do better. If you’re an instance #admin or #mod, do your damn job.
@goodthinking @Hey_Beth Nope. You started by claiming that ethnicity (or race, as you called it) doesn’t exist.
You then proceeded to attempt to tell a white American citizen that the term “white” is only used by white supremacists.
Obviously, you don’t like being called white, but that’s on you. You don’t get to police my words.
@goodthinking @Hey_Beth I see. Another white guy who wants to claim that ethnicity doesn’t matter.
Tell that to all the folks who aren’t white.
Btw, I may have immigrated to NZ, but I spent the first 46.5yrs of my life in the US. My roots on that continent pre-date the USA. I know what terms mean in “the States.”
I also know that the term “white” is NOT only used by WSs.
Nice try, though. I’m keeping the hashtag. #WhiteMastodon
Dear #WhiteMastodon:
Please read the thoughts and experiences of Mastodon that ethnic and religious minorities are sharing. Don’t discredit us. Don’t blame us (calling us names, or telling us that we don’t understand the fediverse). Step up and do more to protect minorities. Extend the same love and support to us that you’re showing trans people (we love you for that! Trans people need love!).
Help us build our safe space, too. Be a #RealAlly
So there are what, over 11K Mastodon instances & less than 20 BIPOC-owned instances?!?
Correct me if these numbers are wrong. This is totally unscientific, just a perception of North America.
Update: It would be interesting to see estimates for non-North American instances & BIPOC-ownership.
I guess there is no need for a #WhiteMastodon hashtag, the whole #Fediverse is almost all white dominated.
66 years of accumulating wisdom & I am still not finished.
I'm #Native & #Jewish. I'm outside the dominant white Christian European-American colonizer culture to a large degree. My 2nd class status is made apparent to me every day.
Still, by the time I was 30 years old, I was nearly fully assimilated. I was mostly erased with only token acknowledgement of my cultures.
If I can start the journey, you can too.
The white Christian European-American colonizer culture is so strong and deeply embedded, even atheists and socialists are filled up with it over their heads.
You have to say yeah I'm racist, I'm an enslaver, I'm a colonizer, I benefit from these systems and I like it... before you can even begin to strip yourself and your life of these messed up ideologies.
