It may be too early to tell, but there appears to be a massive grassroots social media backlash against liberals developing, in response to the last four days of unrestrained racism and blame shifting
The liberal left hand doesn’t seem to know what it’s right hand is doing, one faction of liberals want to primarily blame Arabs/Muslims, another wants to go after Black men, others think posting pro-deportation posts in somehow gonna result in sympathy for their politics
The end result seems to be a lot of rightly pissed off POCs and racist republicans and democrats using this as an opportunity to launder their racism, straight up this could have a snowball effect that permanently sees the democratic base fall apart
Racism isn’t one of those bigotries you can just dip in and then dip back out, in 4 years these racist liberal posts are gonna be plastered everywhere and in the meanwhile the resentment is gonna solidify
Like how do they not see that argument can and will be applied to them by every other cracker with a pulse, that’s the whole point of solidarity, to do away with zero-sum mentalities like that
“And the reality is America is a country with 331 million people. There’s over 221 million white people in America. It’s pretty selfish to choose black people over us” It’s so easy to weaponize this shit
In light of Carcosa’s statement it’s clear my reaction in the megathread was based on a misunderstanding concerning Carcosa’s doomed but valiant effort to instill some human values into the rest of lemmy, it unfortunately backfired and me and others uncharitably assumed the worst, so I publicly apologize for that
Paranoia and a lack of trust clearly won the day and to my shame I aided in that, but I hope Carcosa rethinks their decision and once more takes their rightful place at the helm of this experiment in leftist forum-building
