I often see mentions of the disunity in the left and it being a real show stopper for achieving anything meaningful. Whats your take on that and also do you have any reasons(experiences, arguments etc) for that?

    Great, so a second person complaining about someone calling themselves white without suggestion as to what souls be changed.

    I think you’re just racist against white people.

      because that is really dependend on your context and location. whiteness is differently constructed and maintained in different places and what you should / can do also is different.

      One starting point for inspiration might be !landback@slrpnk.net, another one might be just talking with someone irl about this

      I think you’re just racist against white people.

      I dont think this is helpful for anyone and I dont get why you would say that to someone, especially someone who from my perspective tried to engage with you in good faith

        “I am a person who racists claim to be white”.

        This can’t be a real suggestion.

        Is a little frustrating talking about this as so far, people have either said that in a colonizer or not tell me how this issue can be resolved.

        So far it just sounds like complaining about something with offering a solution.
