people are saying such shitty things about me. ill probably delete this, but can some of my comrades just give me a pep talk if your up to in. I know logically I love this place and this is a bad day, but I cant stop crying, i do so much work going out, doing mutual aid, supporting union drives, working with the dsa and psl ect and it doesn’t fucking matter because as soon as I vent about the class of people who are giving me a hard time IM somehow stopping racial solidarity from happening. it hurts so bad and makes everything feel so pointless. i feel so disposable. im not gonna debate anyone i just want to chat with nice comrades who care. im actually crying hard over internet shit maybe its my sign to leave.

edit: THANK YOU for the out pouring of love comrade, here, in my dms, and on cytube. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. I will be staying. I will be taking a break after this sundays fanon post (its the last one and BEST chapter hope i can see you there) but I shall return even more powerful than before. you guys are amazing thank you again to everyone committed to making this a safe space for BIPOC people to express themselves.

        Nah I haven’t seen the movie, though there was a popular racism awareness campaign in South Africa when I was a kid, where’d they do short PSAs/ads with the racial role reversal thing (such as white people working as maids and gardeners, taking minibus taxis, while black people were the rich home owners) to try get racist white people to have some compassion.

        Looking at the state of our society, I don’t think the awareness campaign worked.

        But yeah hexbear is mostly made up of white westerners so they probably didn’t take any criticism well.
