Woke means you hate all white people and think they're all from England and had slaves.

It means you're too stupid to realize people like me, have ancestors that were under foreign occupation from 1500-1913 and had absolutely nothing to do with colonization and didn't benefit from oppressing non-Europeans in any way sort or form but think we deserve punishment.

You aren't a decent human being if you're woke.

I'm a Yugoslav ethnically. Yugo means south, slav being the root word for the word slave because we were taken as slaves by the Arabs and Ottoman Turks.

We also suffered a similar fate that natives in Canada did, the Ottomans took the first born son of every Christian family and sent them to be part of the Ottoman army and forcefully converted us to islam.

Took out daughters as sex slaves in harems.

Taxed us stealing our labour and wealth for 500+ years.

Then we were booted out of Greece to make room for Turkish-Greeks and had our land stolen in the 1940s, happened to my Grandparents.

We were under the same empire that the Palestinians were under, and what happened to them happened to us, but woke people want me to suffer because I have white skin.

Woke people are evil scum. They aren't decent people in any shape or form, they are basically nazis spreading lies about me just like the Germans did about the Jews.

I know this because woke people like to throw slavery and other things in my face just because I am European without realizing the word SLAVE is derived from my ethnicity.

Hitler hated us just as much as he hated the Jews and we were part of the holocaust, but woke people don't care,

I'm white, I'm European, I must be a colonizer worthy of punishment for the actions of some people in England who speak a different language, use a different alphabet, practice a different religion and lived 2000 km away.

That's what woke people are. They're fucked in the head.

My country is currently teaching our children to hate me based on my skin colour and they think I deserve it. Again, just like the Nazis did to the Jews.

I assume you are Indian, imagine you were randomly getting blamed for shit Pakistani people did 300 years ago and your country was teaching kids that you are a bastard for what Afghani people did just cause you have similar skin colour.

That's wokeness. It's a disease.

None of my ancestors subjugated other people groups to any form of discrimination and didn't colonize anywhere else. But woke people think they did. I've interacted with enough of them that hate me just for being European, most of them are British themselves which is insane.

It is 100% the same thing that the Nazis did to the Jews and the Slavs, spread lies and propaganda about them. Woke people would have fit in Nazi Germany.

I've yet to meet a woke person who will acknowledge Muslim occupation and oppression against south eastern Europeans.

My last name isn't a Persian word because I'm Persian. It was assigned to my family by foreign occupiers.

We don't eat middle eastern influenced food because we are middle eastern, it is a result of foreign occupation and subjugation.

Our music isn't middle eastern influenced because we are middle eastern, it is a result of foreign occupation and subjugation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQTZQxmZF20 <-- We don't make this randomly. It's a direct result of our history.

Macedonian wedding song played at every wedding is called Mashallah. Christian people there aren't singing for random, it's a result of colonization by the middle east

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbxmwrUpvj4

Woke people refuse to acknowledge any of this.

I'm white, I'm from London, England to them, I must be punished and shamed for my ancestry to all woke people.

Do you even live in the West to have a practical understanding of wokeness and how it plays out in real life? Or is your understanding of it totally technical, based on what you've read about it on Twitter while residing in India?

I'm Indian, but I was born in the US, raised in Hong Kong, went to university in the UK, and spent some time in Canada too. I currently live in the UK. Your assertion that wokeness has anything to do with being a decent human being is very misguided. If racism is present, it's present in all areas of society and in all people. I've known some of the wokest people out there. They were as racist, if not more so, than non-woke people. The only difference was that they were more subtle in their racism.

Being in India and reading stuff on Twitter can make you think that it's about being decent, but that's not true. Most of my friends of color say the same. It's just a well-known fact here. Woke people are more creative in their racism and are some of the rudest people you can find in the UK. Sure, they'll pretend to support LGBT rights and the rights of black people, but the second they're alone in a room, they'll say the most vile and racist things ever. To your face.

So yeah, come here and live here for a bit, and then make that statement. You won't end up making it. As I live in London, most of my white friends are woke as hell. I love them to bits, but they're pretty much more obsessed with race and being subtly racist in the guise of wokeness than my white friends from the North of England, which is a very non-woke area of England.

I literally in the same day had two people tell me that because I am white I am a colonizer. Either person could explain in detail to me why. They just got angry and said if I don’t know then it’s not worth explaining or something to that effect.

My main point is that I did not colonize anything, I did not have slaves. So why are you angry with me?

I get that it's frustrating when people don't elaborate on it. It's one of the reasons smug Tumblr "leftism" that came with no theory was frustrating and alienating. However there is a lot of stuff about colonialism, neo-colonialism, and how it intersects with leftist theory and why it's important to know it. It's easy to find material. Also it's not the end of the world to be called something that research would confirm the best thing to do is accept it and work to make the world better in spite of your station. It starts with theory and moves toward praxis. I understand, especially if you reflexively know colonization is bad, a bad thing. It makes you feel bad. But part of that is a call to action instead of lettingit get under your skin. It's what you do with the information that is important. "Everybody is a little bit racist" isn't an excuse to be indifferent it's a reminder to be vigilant. I know I got some latent sexism from my youth so I just gotta try to stay aware and think before I react, to use a personal example. Does it sting a little when somebody says "all men are.." sure it does. But instead of letting it bother me I stop, consider where the criticism is coming from, and remind myself that the patriarchy is a complex and nefarious reality that is experienced more harshly by people that don't look like me. It's not a nuanced statement but there is enough truth to it, and legitimate grievance behind it, that my job is not to pop off with a "not all men" but to be considerate of these factors and use material history and intersectional theory to apply that nuance.

And I thought I had a problem with making BMF-tier rants. New copypasta just dropped.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
