Maybe I shouldn't think this way, but if all cis whites had to die (me with them), I wouldn't be that upset
Just imagine what it would do for the climate apocalypse and Global South if all cis whites died though. If it had real shot of happening I'd probably advocate for it.
Comrade this is a very misanthropic view. Many many cis whites are perfectly fine, delightful people, just with incredibly deeply bored brain worms.
Were you not once a liberal? If not you are in a lucky minority.
These people don't need to die they need to be reeducated. We are steadily making progress despite the resistance of the fiercest most well resourced reactionaries.
Look at the campus protests, how many of those people were cis whites?
It's a throw away comment, and not something I'd genuinely advocate for.
Edit: yes I used to be a huge liberal.
I know you wouldn't advocate for that seriously but you seemed down so I was hoping to cheer you up
Nah I'm good, but thank you comrade. I'm far from a perfect white ally or anything, but I've just been so damn disappointed with nearly all white people in my life, with the exception of hexbear. Thanks for looking out for me.
It's also deeply non-materialist. There is nothing inherent to one's skin tone or gender identity in terms of ideology, no one is born a imperialist. The reason most people in the global north support the current world order is because they are it's beneficiaries. That order is not going to change just because the racial or gender identity of those in charge or making up the empire changes. New cultural identities will form to justify the global capitalist-imperialist system in such a scenario. These ideologies adapt and change to suit what is required by the global capitalist system, and not the other way around. Look at the history of Liberia for example, where freed African American and Afro Caribbean people proceeded to form their own cultural identity and colonised a part of Africa. Communitarian ideologies based around race or gender identity cannot be a substitute for the absence of a socialist ideology in the working class. This is true for even the most radical of communities.
Thanos snapping white people from existence would just mean Japan is the new center of capital. The imperial core would still exist and most of the subimperialist parts like the UAE would just get "promoted" to imperialist.
Yeah as a fellow straight person of low melanin content I'm with you on this. Like it'd be better if the death was means tested not skin/sexuality based but pretty sure unlimited genocide on the white cissys would probably be a net benefit too good to say no to even if it takes a few good people with the bad.
Genocide of any kind would be bad, and the system would just be taken over by POC imperialists because nothing about the system itself changed. There would be a bit of a crisis, yeah, but I think Kamala would come out on top and set everything straight. The thing about whiteness being an artificial category made for the perpetuation of the bourgeois state is that there is no essentially "white" person and nothing that intrinsically separates them, as a bloc, from POC.
This is just the wrong way to look at the issue.
