It's wild to me that ppl actually defend colonizers and say criticizing them is low hanging fruit.

Y'all invite white supremacy into your lives because ur afraid to tell a colonizer when they're acting like a colonizer.

@XoGloomnrainbows @Tzipporah Speaking as a colonizer, I would appreciate someone telling me when I’m behaving like a colonizer.

@GuyDudeman

this might be a weird case of *don't* kill the cop in your head?
or maybe imagining what a social worker or trauma-informed therapist would say?

@XoGloomnrainbows @Tzipporah

@MxVerda @XoGloomnrainbows @Tzipporah I’ll have to lookup that phrase “kill the cop in your head”.

@GuyDudeman

damn, that's awesome dude! Thank you. I gotta get up and stretch but I look forward to finishing reading this later. :D

"While state planning can accelerate economic growth no one from Lenin, to Mao, to Green himself has truly dealt with the power relationship between the working class and the middle-class "revolutionaries" who seize state power "on the behalf" of the latter.
How can one use the organizing methods of the European bourgeoisie, "[hierarchial] party building" and "seizing state power" and not expect this method of organizing people to not take on the reactionary characteristics of what it supposedly seeks to eliminate?
Then there's the question of asserting ones authoritarian will upon others (the usual recruitment tactics of the white left attemping to attract Black members)."

(here, have a funny picture in further thanks.)

@XoGloomnrainbows

criticizing them is low hanging fruit.


But surely you pick the low hanging fruit first? Otherwise you're making it needlessly hard on yourself.
