Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Exclusion is all about love. Didn't you know? I love you so much that I don't want you near me.
The only people who don't care if they're called racist are racists. I care if I'm called racist. I know that much.
Let's ask him if he knows or if he cares if the term pedophile is applied to him and see how he reacts. Bet he won't care one bit!
I bet they do feel loving if you're straight, white, christian, and uncomfortable being around anyone who isn't.
there are also white people love to call other POC more racist than they are too.
To be fair, when have CIS white men ever had power in this country? They're just fighting to get a fair shot, which they've never had. /s
The Lovings are turning in their graves. This is more of a Virginia movement.
I want an America that makes them proud, not these fucknuggets
We should just call all right-wingers pedophiles. And whenever they voice an opinion, just say "shut the fuck up, pedophile!"
I mean aren't they already? pedophiles and/or sex fiends? it's almost a daily thing where you read a story where "such and such conservative found with computer full of child porn or was found rubbing one out in their church/state office"
if someone tells you who they are, believe them. If someone's entire personality/live is based around "fighting" this stuff be it anti-gay, anti-porn, anti-abortion chances are they've already and routinely do it all.
Now we should tell it to their faces. Break them down, and crush them. Let them know you have zero respect or regard for them.
I could see someone trying to spin black etc. only community as "excluding the oppressors" or saying that people are rightfully threatened and stuff like that. And that it isn't racist since it targets whites and racism is only when white people do it.
I've seen some of that in a more wacky communities but would be pretty bold to try that out irl instead of some online community
angry white people have been attacking communities of color for a long time in this country

Right but what does that have to do with what I said
you mentioned it would be bold for a Black-only community to try to exist IRL, and that's accurate - those communities even when just majority Black without exclusion policies have historically been oppressed and met with physical violence... Same with indigenous communities and so on, turns out white settler-colonial culture is intolerant and violent.
No I mentioned it would be bold to try to excuse the racism with the mentioned stuff
ah, didn't realize you meant "racism" as meaning anti-white. To be honest I do think the relevant aspect of what makes something racist is the direction of the flow of power.
When a marginalized group is persecuted or oppressed by a dominant group, it's the oppression and power difference that is relevant even more than the narrow sense in which group categories are used to make decisions. This is why affirmative action is not racist, for example.
Oof, called this in my first comment
yes, I'm somewhat reiterating a view you were originally criticizing - though I'm doing that because you pointed it out, not sure a "yes, actually" is really a "called it" moment, but sure - let's go with that anyway, it's almost Friday 😄
Racism is racism, no matter how anyone tries to dress it up.
Do you think affirmative action is racist?
The article itself mentions "positive discrimination" and "reverse racism" but the overall thing is a poor comparison since the community in this case would be "no whites" which would absolutely be racist since it's excluding people because of their race.
