#firebomb your local weapons manufacturer instead. THAT is how he would probably like to be mourned

Hey guess what making numerous posts about why every black person who may reasonably be uncomfortable with using Rest In Power for a white man in the armed forces is overreacting, is actually far more of "fed posting" than the other side is. YOU'RE the one being distracted by verbiage in order to correct them with the weird "☝️🤓 um ackshually Webster's dictionary of racism says the term originated...", when you can just agree or disagree & use whatever terms you're going to use, accepting the consequences either way-- I've seen great points made by many black comrades on both sides of it, and while I do think the context of Aaron's death is different than other "controversial" uses, I am also a big boy with many words to use and it's not that big a deal to use slightly different language to ensure that I'm not lazily co-opting & being disrespectful in that way, so I simply don't use it for fellow ranchskins for the low low cost of $0 and 0 involvement in discourse.
But sure, keep making (or reblogging) posts about how black people are the ones who "don't get it" and are obstructing international solidarity & movement building 🤨
#a user has made no less than 3 paragraphs long posts that a few blogs i follow (thin fucking ice) have shared#like.... idk that persons life but yeah calling black people feds for very middling reasons is defintion fed shit#its not like they're giving analysis for actual western liberal idpol. theyre just mad that some black comrades have different opinions#idk my impression of aaron is that he probably would not like how some people are more focused on words to mourn him#than actions that respond to his message#firebomb your local weapons manufacturer instead. THAT is how he would probably like to be mourned#as someone on birdhell put it: aaron was a white cishet dude in the military. he lived in power#doesn't mean he wasnt a good guy. doesnt mean he didn't do the best he could & if any u.s. military personnel is redeemed its him#but the facts are simply the facts & people bitching sound like theyre one bad day away from believing white genocide is real
