Just look up “post-apartheid racism”. White people are facing violence, and property loss, and politicians are getting elected on anti-white rhetoric. The anti-black racism is still there, but that doesn’t excuse anything. And anti-whiteness is culturally acceptable there.

Oh wow, so anger against centuries of brutal pillage by European settlers is the same thing as institutionalized racism against Africans! 😂 And misandry and reverse racism are real, no doubt. That doesn’t mean I approve of populist rhetoric designed to keep corrupt politicians in power, especially when the politicians doing this are using people’s justified anger to cover up their own misrule. But painting “anti-white racism” to be the same thing as institutionalized antiblack racism is disingenuous equivocation.

Trump isn’t Hitler, let’s be clear on that. But if Hitler were Republican and supported Trump, Trump would endorse him if he ran for governor. Then when it was discovered the Hitler was turning state prisons into concentration camps, Trump would defend him because Trump endorsed him and Trump is never wrong. Trump’s not evil, he’s amoral. Amoral people are not malicious, but they have no problem enabling evil people. For example, a certain Supreme Court nominee who’s proven himself untrustworthy

But on the bright side, if Hitler were a Democrat Trump would
tear into him endlessly… and the Democrats would defend him because
they don’t care how lousy their candidates are. (At this point,
Republicans don’t either, which is how Trump got elected in the first
place.) And because Trump’s outbursts are… less than credible… he’d
probably end up making Hitler look better and turn him into a martyr.

When Trump was elected, he was called a white supremacist. I
scoffed. Trump has no idea what that even means! Today, I still honestly
believe that… but now it’s the opposite of reassuring.

These anons seem to be from the same anon or are at least on the same theme, so I’ll consolidate them. I don’t see a lot of daylight between Trump being a cynical opportunist and him being a white supremacist. Supporting white supremacism for the sake of gaining power makes him a white supremacist. I know he’s been liberal on some issues, but white supremacism isn’t actually a right-left divide. Cosmetic differences aside, it’s a fundamental edifice of the political and social system of the U.S. and worldwide.

Holy CRAP the DHS is hiding a FOURTEEN FORTY-EIGHT in an official document? Now I’m properly frightened.

I’d like to trade in this timeline for a better one, please.

Decided to give a random Google search and the first result for “Is Rey” is “Is Rey Luke’s daughter”. Good job on solving the parentage debate Rian! On a side note, although “Is Finn” conjures a broader search due to the popularity of the name, the search for it still brings up “Is Finn a jedi” within the top ten results.

I mean I like Rey Random but way to have a trustworthy and reliable source on that, eh? And pls let that second question be answered in the affirmative 🙏

Why do you have a hatedom… on Twitter?

There’s quite a bit of exchange between different platforms, and reylows have screenshotted my posts to mock them on Twitter. On the flip side I also saw some of my posts being shared positively, or at least with interest, on Twitter.

I don’t know if you know this but the First Order were based on Nazis! JJ said it in an interview. I can’t remember which one, it’s really obscure, but isn’t that cool? Makes you think a whole lot.

Yeah, one of those little-known but interesting facts!

Episode III is that much sadder if you headcanon that R2 and R4 were in love and the humans never even noticed

Droid romances are always shortcharged 😦

Me: I wish I had a girlfriend, someone who likes me back and helps me get through rigors of college. Also me: I swear, I’d better not get a crush on ONE MORE PERSON before I turn 21 or I’m going to–

–one-shot a vodka on turning 21?

Most people’s definition of whiteness doesn’t hold up in South Africa. I know with apartheid whites used to be oppressors, but now you see them facing pretty much the exact same problems black people face in the US. So yeah, whiteness is not defined by privilege. Totally agree that Jews aren’t white though. They deserve to take pride in their own ethnoreligious identity. I mean, if a Jewish person wants to call themselves white, that’s fine too.

There’s so much to unpack here, starting with what the fuck planet are you even from? Here are some statistics:

All of these are just a Google search away, so maybe you could have tried that before opening your ignorant trap about white people in South Africa facing the same problems as Black people. What the fuck.

And like, if you think white people don’t have ethnicity or that Jewish people who are white lose their ethnicity, idek where to start except to say that misconception is exactly how privilege works–treating a privileged identity as the invisible default.

Even with the downright racist bait and switch, The Force Awakens established Finn as the literary foil of Kylo Ren but The Last Jedi not only completely ignored that, but it went out of its way to establish Rey as the literary foil of Kylo Ren; Rey’s parents were nobody while Kylo Ren is the son of Han and Leia, etc. No matter how good or bad the sequel trilogy turns out, never forget how terrible it treated Finn.

Yeah. TLJ was particularly egregious but TFA isn’t off the hook, either.
