@denikombucha @sourcookie If it's cool, I'm gonna give yall the biggest hug.
Christ, I can't even imagine this.

@phoe I get it. I do the same just not online.
So I understand. Writing it down helps to organize it so it doesn't feel so... overwhelming.
@Shamar No. I don't believe your intentions are good after you've spent the last couple of hours calling me hateful, opportunistic and shallow.
You have gone out of your way to demean and insult me unprovoked based on the simple fact you did not like how I answered one of your questions.
I have no reason to believe your intentions are anything but disingenuous and malicious based on your continued awful behavior.
@phoe Ha, you're definitely not wrong about that.
@meena LOL, you're biased, ma'am.
(And also thank you. That's very kind)
@phoe Yeah, it's probably a lot of that but all that emotion doesn't always come from nefarious places.
A lot do, sure. But in my experience with bigots, quite a few have told me my words about white culture led them to believe I wouldn't like them, so they came in quite negative.
It happens more often than one would think.
@Shamar If that was the case you'd just take the time doing whatever it is you're doing here and just go look.
Ha, you're subsequent commentary after I told you go look shows your intentions where off from the start.
You can believe whatever you want about me. The fact remains the data you seek is available of you look.
It's that simple.

You know, I have a sneaking suspicion a lot of these bigots that come at me with so much, uhm, let's call it aggression actually kind of dig me.
I mean, they keep coming back despite my never saying anything to them. They keep sharing their feelings with over and over again. It's like the want me to care.
Yeah, most of them are just jerks, but I bet quite a few of them just want my attention but don't know how to do it.
It's cute. Very annoying... but in it's own way... cute.
@denikombucha Hey. It takes a village.
@Reyaughi Ha, that's surprisingly close to how I envision it, to be honest...
@romariorios Hm, I'm not that cynical and DDG has good track record, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt for now.
@Gargron The fact is Eugen would crumble if he had to endure the sick, twisted and dehumanizing constant abuse and harassment that Black and Brown folks go through. That gay people go through. That trans people go through. Hell, that women go through everyday.
This is not to say what he goes through doesn't matter, because it does. I do feel he is treated unfairly in some cases.
But the idea that he receives the worst of it is utter bullshit. If anything, he gets off very, very light.
The internet is not the domain of white sensibilities. It is not the property of the most awful people humanity has to offer.
It is for all of us. There is space for everyone to have healthy community that actually edifies and brightens our lives rather than make it worse.
Many people who just so happen to be white do not believe that and they specifically target people like me to ruin our experience and sour the well.
But they cannot stop what I'm doing. They can't stop what we are building
"We tend to define racism in a way that will not implicate our own views or ideas. “I think people define racism in a way that exonerates them. If they can narrow [the definition of racism] as much as possible to things they are not saying or doing or are about, that leaves them off the hook,”
“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” Minton told Mazzei. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
White Americans keep telling us they don't give a shit about a healthy nation. They just want to hurt people they don't like. That has been most prominent motivation for the white vote since the country was founded.

@fathermcgruder @Are0h @amydentata who needs propaganda when you have the objective superiority of living outside a cage vs living in one?
Your's truly *NEVER* has to go to the DMV 😉
@Ricardus Does it have to be either or?
Raise your hand if you were also raised by books
@amydentata @somarasu It's wild how many social opinions many Americans hold are born from marketing campaigns.
Most people 'patriotism' is something a handful of old white guys thought up to sell more car batteries. Literally.
