Or, to put it another way, as long as white Americans take refuge in their whiteness— for so long as they are unable to walk out of this most monstrous of traps-they will allow millions of people to be slaughtered in their name, and will be manipulated into and surrender themselves to what they will think of-and justify—as a racial war. They will never, so long as their whiteness puts so sinister a distance between themselves and their own experience and the experience of others, feel themselves sufficiently human, sufficiently worthwhile, to become responsible for themselves, their leaders, their country, their children, or their fate. They will perish (as we once put it in our black church) in their sins—that is, in their delusions. And this is happening, needless to say, already, all around us.

Really cool learning opportunity tonight with Black Men Build with special guest Chris Smalla

HBCU's arent perfect. But the fact that Tennessee state just bumrushed these clowns off their campus instead of just "debating" their bullshit is exactly why I plan for my kids to go to an HBCU in the future.

You're joking but... yes Trump is in office because moderate white men stayed home

did Microsoft Word just tried to sneak get me to use AI to write my script or am i being paranoid cause... wtf is this?

The online left which for me is everything from Blue Maga moving left. I've rarely had bad interactions with white leftists offline

I will always be on yall neck about this cause the history of the left is the west has proven it's a requirement. You can be salty that keep calling out white leftists, OR... here's a thought, stop repeating the same behavior. Im already nicer than I need to be about this, dont expect much else.

Imagine having room for improvement...

Im reminded of this old but goody from years ago that talks on how vulnerable populations end up as pawns in white proxy wars.

One reason I dont watch a lot of normal political content from liberals is because it's clear that so much of their political project is just "owning the right wingers" for likes and clicks.

The thing im focusing on is the "Donald Trump" alias

Suspected Kirk Shooter’s Gaming History Probed by Secret Service Suspected Charlie Kirk shooter Tyler Robinson used Donald Trump’s name as a pseudonym on Valve Corp.’s Steam video-game platform, a fact that’s become part of a profile US law enforcement is building ...

Groyper narrative not dead yet in my book

Just sat down at a save point and it was a trap... ive had enough of "hard" games 🫠

It's all circumstantial but very convincing if you know the lore. Highly online, deep fried meme references written on the bullets, hatred for Kirk, etc. Some googled will break the current evidence down.

Im not sure. They haven't actually said their a trans woman. They havent proven any transness at all

It's funny watching right wing twitter celebrate that the shooter allegedly has a trans boyfriend as if that eliminates the possibility of him being a groyper

Wheels turning on a longer assessment of this but I got other things on my mind

Ironically because of the right wing leaning of the media they will end up being thr most targeted, although people like AOC, Gavin Newsome etc should def up their security.

Not saying its apolitical, far from. This is and has always been a right wing straight white male problem first. But the motives here are not fully political. Its spectacle driven

But you cant ignore a political assassination. So thats the new meta especially considering the social Shockwaves this has created. The next spree shooter will want this attention.

Sadly/ironically the spree shooting has gotten too passe' and the media has learned that broadcasting the actions of shooters only helps spread them and give the shooters what they want. Literally the day Kirk got shot there was a spree shooting but it got 0 attention by comparison

Spree shootings have almost always really been about masculinity and dominance frameworks. Its ways for disaffected men to reclaim their masculinity via spectacle violence

My take is whether or not he was a groyper is missing the point a bit. What is really happening is the evolution of the spree shooter.

However the right is clearly invested in making him antifa to push forward their fascist agenda. So we will see how much actual reporting happens.

Been observing twitter about the Charlie Kirk shooter. Its interesting to see how this plays out. From everything I can see its clear that Tyler Robinson is a groyper or at least in that general category of highly online, irony poisoned, male loneliness epidemic victims.

Ok the shooter likely being a Groyper has sadly activated the gremlins in my brain so ill probably have a video by November...
