its kinda sad that imperialism and neocolonialism created a positive feedback loop wherein third worlders move to western countries for better opportunities and pay with most becoming frothing reactionaries (due to basic class interest) who would kill every single one of their own just for the chance to be accepted as white

not saying your diaspora are like that, obviously. but a lot are.

thats the thing, dragon ball shares a lot of elements with superheroes yes, but it was first heavily inspired by journey to the west first and foremost. goku is exceptional but not in the ways thats totally inherent to his birthright. among the saiyans he was a destined low class warrior. half of the time he’s sparring with forces matching him or even beyond him. most of the time the struggle against antagonists in each arc is a group effort that doesnt necessarily rely solely on his individual role.

its these elements that i think is how goku managed to resonate with so much with people in the global south. it aint just a meme

i dont think ill ever get into superhero media in a way a lot of people are. its like greek mythology/percy jackson-esque fandoms. theres just very little for me to identify with. the exceptionalism of it all. yes im sure its easy to be a “good person” when you literally cant lose because youre that much better than anyone else. pretty much no stakes either because of that. its just masturbatory.

read something like journey to the west or watch the 1986 show instead.

did they? my goodness, i was here on october 7 and i don’t think i ever noticed. supporting hamas should have been a baseline.

you ever see a meme online about “funny language miscommunication” or whatever and you look at the meme and you can 100% tell it was written by a white native english speaker

i had a two paragraph rant written with spite and vitriol before deciding not to post it and keep it in my notes app. ill save that for a fucking rainy day.

one cant subsist on anger every hour alone. i wish i had more love in my days.

the ability of usamericans to be so confident in completely wrong statements is something that psychologists will study for years

seems like a very confused man indeed. you cant play into “white guilt” while simultaneously thinking that being racist to white people is a phenomenon that exists lol.

what did they get banned for?

reddit is so amazing. i open it once and see two highly upvoted r*pe iokes in near succession, and then another post comparing china to the KKK and nazi germany. i think thats a good divine sign to never set foot in these sites ever again.

out of all people whites should be keeping to themselves instead of travelling to become sexpats on every non white country they go to

you think you’ve seen hitlerism until youve seen the diaspora of your country in america. they called them gusanos for a reason.

white people who do fake jokey racism would be publicly racist if it was more socially acceptable

american film industry is slowly transitioning to the “we made a film about how sad we were abt the genocide” phase and ive some seen people adjacent here already eat it up

it wasnt just aoc back then, the original subreddit was founded on bernie memes. i remember it all. i would like to be proven wrong, but the western left are long time winners of the “fell for it again” award, ive never seen a more consistent and impressive streak. back then people were debating abt the “ugyhur genocide” before 2023…

tangentially related but the idea of someone asking your race like that is so fucking rude, especially if its a stranger doing it. no one does that here. no one outside america and perhaps some european countries do that. absurd.

just when i thought i’d seen everything, i see this tweet. how do you americans all feel about this.

nothing wrong with wanting to leave tbh. youre living in the great satan for goodness sake.

there are so so many stupid people who think they know so much
