First they came for the alphabet gang, and I did not speak out—
Because I was from Harlem.

Then they came for the passport brehs, and I did not speak out—
Because I had better luck with women.

Then they came for the JBO gang, and I did not speak out—
Because I go outside.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


I've created this thread because enough of you voted for it. Whether the mods sticky it or put it in another forum is up to them.


Unless you live under a rock, you know that white America has once again, allowed itself to be seduced by nostalgia and its own hatred into thinking that it's a reasonable idea to hurt themselves if they think others will get it worse. There are of course many reasons for this, but the top 3 reasons that seem to make the most sense to me are below.
1. The failure of reconstruction and the empowering of white people who felt resentful that their path to the middle and upper class was closed now that the entire economy built upon slavery was effectively made illegal. In modern terms, that's the equivalent of being told that you cannot buy stocks, cryptocurrency or lottery tickets. This of course led to an increased hatred of black people, and segregation.

2. A decline in America's educational standards. Families who could not afford to pack up and leave and pay for private schools had to "tolerate" black children going to the same schools as their own children and run the risk of them learning that black people are in fact, human beings. Naturally, republicans have continued to cut funding in education and increase the costs of post-secondary education to the point where 21% of the population is illiterate and OVER HALF read BELOW a 6th grade level
Simply put, the American public is literally too stupid to know when they are being conned so naturally, they vote for a con man.

3. The failure of the democratic party to stand up to the growing oligarchy. Whether it was repealing the glass steagle act(look up why it existed) or doing nothing to overturn the citizens united ruling when they had the power to do so. The establishment democrats who are literally millionaires or aspiring millionaires refused to change these things because it was good for business. As a result, we now have a news media owned by billionaires. Social media platforms owned by billionaires. Bankers who have sold 401ks to the public as alternatives to traditional retirement funds. The 401ks are of course invested in the market which the billionaires control. So they will of course clap back with "what about the millions of people whose retirements are tied up in funds which include our company stock? you regulate us, and you hurt them".

So now we have an open white supremacist who has said that Hitler did some things right
That immigrants are poisoning the blood of the country, a statement that more than a quarter of respondents on a poll agreed with
Posted a video describing a 'unified reich' if he won the 2024 election
and of course, is being bankrolled by the world's richest Nazi who has still not apologized for an obvious nazi salute because why would he? who will check him when he's the richest man alive?

He's already begun to roll back civil rights legislation and has began attempting to deport people. This is of course, a mirror of what nazis did when they took power in Germany. There is no longer a need for plausible deniability because he has the mainstream media on his side who are terrified of two things:
1. Losing access
2. Being sued
And it helps that they are owned by billionaires who have now bent the knee

States will start enacting laws infringing on your privacy, your rights, and will double and triple down on teaching children that your humanity is a topic which is up for debate. Your intelligence will be questioned as you're told that you must have been a "DEI hire" and that any discussion about historical FACTS that occured in this country are examples of "critical race theory". Every day you will be assaulted with news showing the latest cruel or stupid thing that his administration and those alligned with it are doing. The media will of course minimize just how bad it is and monetize your outrage for more money. It is ragebait, a classic tool pioneered by fox news and deployed now across the media spectrum and on social media too.

Key context, opposing viewpoints, and additional facts are purposefully left out of reporting in order to manufacture consent.

So now lets look at how you can peacefully navigate all of this.
1. Stop giving these billionaires money. Easier said than done, I know. That's literally the point. They want to have embedded themselves so deeply in your life that you MUST give them money whether you want to or not.
2. Cut down the amount of time you spend on their platforms. They can control what is seen and not seen on their platforms. They can promote nazism on their platforms while actively suppressing any sort of pro-black narrative as 'divisive'. They've been caught doing this multiple times and they won't stop.
3. Protect your privacy because you will be surveilled.
4. Use worker owned media to get your news. They aren't accountable to billionaire owners, they're accountable to subscribers--aka YOU.
5. Get activated locally and focus on specific issues that are happening in your city and town and support any local politician or non-profit who wants to be accountable to YOU and not donors. Look at the voting records of your state representatives and support any challengers who want to unseat them if they are not acting in your interests.

You can divest intelligently by seeing what holdings your current ETF or mutual fund has. You can search for those details on websites like fintel or vettafi
You can shop online directly from retailers, or from the makers of specific products through etsy.com, overstock, or lightinthebox. They are some of amazon's biggest competitors
And of course, there's still the OG: Ebay. Who has not pussed out on DEI like Amazon has

And @RamsayBolton has already created a thread keeping track on who is standing ten toes down on their DEI policies vs who is pussing out

Next Saturday will be the start of BHM, we'll see who is really about it and who never was. Keep an eye on his thread.
Of course you can find local black businesses to support through BHM and beyond. No, the white man's ice is not colder.

You can use a number of alternatives to existing social media platforms. These are decentralized. @bnew might know of some that I don't but I made this thread about them:

If you've watched more than 5 youtube channels that feature discussion on news, you probably then already know about ground news

Ken Klippenstein is one of the best reporters out right now and his blog is a great source of info
There's current affairs
and for tech news 404media is worker owned
51st covers local DC news but other things too
Hell gate does the same for NY
and there's flaming hydra
And Poynter is a fantastic source for news about the journalism business itself. For those of you with children who want to teach them media literacy, it's a great source.

When it comes to protecting your data, turning on your computer and connecting to the Internet without a VPN is like going swimming in a lake butt naked. You can do it, but you only have yourself to blame if you catch something while you're in there :hubie: A VPN is worth the cost. Compare the different providers below and choose one that works for you.
When you're texting, use signal for added safety. Don't assume apple or google aren't accessing your text messages.
When you're using email, don't assume google isn't scraping your email. There are alternatives like protonmail and Thunderbird. If a service is free, YOU are the product. Your data will be taken and used to train AI models or handed over to the government if they demand it. As I said, the mask is off and they've bent the knee. The CEOs of google and Apple showed up for the inauguration to kiss the ring.
DEI in the tech space only means Deny Everyone but Indians.

And of course you can keep track of local mutual aid and legal aid societies

I'll add more if I can find them and I invite others to put up links to their local aid chapters. I'll keep this all as an offline document. The USA was founded AS an oligarchy run by slave owning millionaires. The goal of the republican party is to return America to that status quo. We have been in chains longer than we've been free. We have been under segregation longer than we haven't. That's apparently a problem for over 78 million white people. The good news about oligarchies is that they aren't built to last. See videos below for more info on oligarchy and how people escape it.
