The ukraine war makes me question if we live in the same reality sometimes. There's something so existentially horrifying about thousands of people pointlessly dying fighting over some village with 5000 residents in the middle of a bombed out wasteland and this just repeats month after month, but half the people around me talk abut it like it's an exciting sports game.

What is Doomer? :(
It is a nebulous thing that may include but is not limited to Climate Change posts or Collapse posts.
Include sources when applicable for doomer posts, consider checking out !bloomer@www.hexbear.net once in awhile.
Its doubly fucked when you live in cities that are just like theirs,and your grandparents live in villages just like those
And then you move away from the border,and into the capital,and it's like you stepped into another reality,no alarms at night,no jets flying overhead,it's like the war is something on tv again (Not Ukrainian,but I live on the border with them)

Well if it makes you feel better this isnt what they're fighting for. Russia is systemically dismantling the Ukrainian proxy state and removing US influence from the region. Weakening NATO as a whole. The world will be better at the end of it.
To the person who reported this thread because hmm it might make whitey feel bad, go look at ALL THE RACIST SHIT that is posted in dunk and dredj tank today for some reason and then go shut the fuck up for a while thanks
um, excuse me, but as a white man, this makes me feel empathy
UNACCEPTABLE!
One time I reported a badpost because I liked the song that they posted hoping to get called out like this but the mod didn't bite.
If it was me I woulda done it. I always commit to the bit
Some of them, I assume, are good people
Very fine people on both sides,I say
In no way is it just the cis ones lmfao
Yeah, I think that was our comrade making a carve-out for themselves, as often happens with these kinds of posts.
Whites are gonna white no matter what marginalization they may have
My point wasn't that we need a more hardline position on the eradication of white people (as some in this thread express), my point was that this misanthropic bullshit is just a way of finding a convenient "out" for problems.
Oh yeah the "I'm white and think we're all* trash" bit from this site like never comes from someone that actually cares about unlearning racism, it's purely performative but a performance for other whites who also think the discussion about racism should center white feelings
I have only been here two months but it seems that performative self-flagellation is popular here
Marginalized mayos are still mayos in the end. A "normal" (cishet, NT, not disabled) POC is still overall better than some cracker of a marginalized identity (queer, ND, disabled). Let's be honest.
Not just cis whites, I got driven out of a Discord that was like 1/3 trans for saying that I wouldn't vote for the Democrats because they support genocide. I talked about this previously, but I've had similar experiences since then among people who were otherwise strongly left-leaning.
If you live in the imperial core, there is no faster or surer way to make an enemy of everyone around you than to stand by your conviction that those in the periphery are human.
Time to start up the "Down with Cis" bus for real
But I am not a white cis
Maybe I shouldn't think this way, but if all cis whites had to die (me with them), I wouldn't be that upset
I don't know if crabs in a bucket mentality is the right term or what, but the sentiment of ”I'm willing to let everyone else suffer so I don't have to compromise even the littlest bit on my treats” is disgustingly strong.
like ButtBidet, I'm down for vanishing from the world to save it from the rest of our kind
Down With Cis
I've felt this way since I was like...12. Do not trust them one bit.
I do kinda hate myself...
You are more than the color of your skin
They are the vanguard of capitalism and imperialism because it benefits them the most.
