this is partially a critique on my part but even more of a critique on other online leftists' part since i notice a complete lack of attempts at putting oneself in others shoes- it shouldn't quite literally take learning you have x minority ethnicity in you to have sympathy and understanding for them.

#i started understanding native people more when even the possibility of me having ntv american in me was presented to me #heres an idea: ACTUALLY TRY TO VISUALIZE WHAT SHIT WOULD BE LIKE IF YOU WERE IN STEAD OF DOING NOTHING #yes. yes. you will 'never fully comprehend' blah blah blah but im sure you've had enough experiences being treated lesser than #to be able to put yourself in other peoples shoes long enough to understand the complex ways of how shit negatively effects people #pretend that you are jewish (in your brain not irl if you're not. this is a thought exercise.) and now tell me what you think should #happen to jewish ppl in israel. and wait- i mean ACTUALLY think about it. dont shit out the most buzzwordsy shit you can think of #to make yourself feel and Look Cool to your followers. basically im asking you to do method acting here. i want you to go THAT far #to understand bc its apparently what needs to be done for you to understand.#bc if you're actually doing this thought exercise and you're actually educated on why theres jewish ppl in israel to begin with #(hint: they were forced out of other countries) you're not going to then be like 'yeah its fine to kill all jewish ppl in israel' you just #WONT come to that conclusion if you're being honest.#also i bet plenty a yall havent even gotten dna tests so far all you know you COULD have ashkenazi in you!#so you need to internalize that and try to act the way you think someone put in that situation would act to understand better.#also obviously all the while listening to jewish people while you're at it.
