Someone’s being all spiritual and transcendent on a thread about Kwame Ture’s quote on liberalism.

Slaves fighting for their freedom shouldn’t use violence because they’re just going to become slavers themselves (THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT THEY THINK)

What were those people before being enslaved,

What do you think they are implying here?

    I hate this particular type of person so much

    At least the chuds will tell me they hate me to my face

    People like this will see us burn and go, “how brave, they’re so much better than the people burning them”

      This user seems to genuinely believe that slaves should never fight back and I can’t help but see “what were they like before being enslaved” as anything but INCREDIBLY FUCKING SUS

        I wouldn’t even distinguish them as cowards, most of these people actively do not like black and brown people because we mess with the vibes or we cause a scene

        These are the people who will call the cops on kids playing in the street and when the cops traumatize or kill those kids, they go “Oh, i never would have thought this could happen!”

        They’re the quiet racists, the ones who will gladly stab people in the back and pretend like they didn’t know

        But when it comes time to pick a side, they always manage to pick the wrong one

          That’s because they’re not picking a side, they’re dropping the pretense of not having been on that side all along.

    • One of my best friends (god I need to make new ones) got this way lately. Painting himself as a massive pacifist but supporting Germany in buying a shit ton of weaponry right now and in the coming years. Ohh he is so opposed to violence “but akkkchually we NEED the US hegemony because else the cHiNeSe and RuShiaAAanS ( bad bad bad!!) would do”… Well what would they do? Huh? Of course much worse or if they would be honest they just FEAR we would be treated like we treat the global south.

      They want to profit from violence while feeling like saints. DISGUSTING.
