#if you've already lost hope in Palestine then you should not be speaking

[brick-van-dyke]

Was gonna just say it in the tags, but nah I'm saying it here because I'm tired for the Palestinians and indigenous people I know screaming that both sides kill them. That is not fucking privilege, a Palestinian person saying over and over and over again that "we are dying under Biden" is not them telling you to not vote and you yelling back "don't be privileged" is the sheer definition OF privilege and white guilt.

Sorry but no. Not a single soul is saying "Trump is better". No one is saying that. No one is saying Trump isn't as bad. What we ARE saying is that people ARE CURRENTLY dying under Biden, Haris has allowed this and every other Democrat has continually been racist, genocidal pigs for over 76+ years. Having a pig of a man as a cop chief doesn't suddenly mean ACAP no longer applies. It means "this is exactly why the system is broken" and we shouldn't let any of these pigs speak for us and continue with their bullshit. Vote, sure, but if that's all you think you can do to stop this then please? Respectfully? Shut up.

It wasn't a white democrat or even a black democrat who "gave" an indigenous person the right to vote. Yes. Voting is important. It's a human right that MUST be upheld.

But that doesn't erase the capability and the necessity of holding these people accountable for the deaths that ARE on their hands as we speak. Biden isn't just "the lesser evil", he is a man who has directly caused the death of black and brown children. He isn't just a moderate who at least isn't going to introduce the horrors of Project 2025, he is a man who advocates for policies that CURRENTLY force black and brown Americans to LIVE that project 2025 while everyone else doesn't have to.

That is why it is privileged to be able to say "it's worse if Trump gets in". Yeah, it will be. But you can only say that because you haven't been living the constant "worse case" your entire life anyway regardless. We, as white people, can be scared of a "what if". We don't have to be afraid of a "right now". That's why it isn't even a question of "the lesser evil" because it actually doesn't matter if it's true or not, if you're not privileged enough to avoid it, you're already gonna be dead before Trump gets in.

That's why I'm so fucking tired of hearing you all whine. Yeah, project 2025 is terrifying and blatantly genocidal to many many different people. People will die because of that. Yeah, we should avoid it.

But not at "all costs" meaning "even he black and brown people already dying and suffering from what I'm scared to die and suffer from". Because it's now. It's not a "what if" for them. That is why, sure, vote. But you'd BETTER be doing more than that or YOU are the privileged idealistic brat here for expecting the black, brown and indigenous fight to be one THEY have to deal with and not you until it affects you personally. "But it'll be worse" yeah, but it's not better either way and the current is death, torture and rape. That's not a standard I want any of you to have for your siblings who are suffering as we speak. That is a standard you ought to refuse to have for any human being. Get it together and actually start organising, moving and doing something besides expecting someone else to save you. Get up and act, don't just vote; do more.

"You're so privileged for caring about genocide" is not a take actually.
