    Would’ve been easier to convince them to come back if we didn’t spend the better part of last decade “calling out” white savior complex.

    Why did we make such an effort to make sure white men realize how pathetic everyone thinks they are, again?

    Seems people aren’t that worried about what Trump’s potential presidency and lasting legacy could lead to.

    I don’t think I’ve seen genuine fear much at all, except for that one black guy who was threatened with hanging in some old sundown town around Nevada/California some weeks ago. Everyone around seemed perfectly fine with it, maybe even willing to help, should the old man want to seize him and actually hang him.

    I don’t think Americans really imagine it getting there. They think the white boys with still be holding eachother back, but the reality is that the bleeding heart kind will be sitting at home or something, he won’t be your pathetic white savior standing between the psychos and their catch.

    If Harris wins, there won’t be much more of that, but if Trump wins it’ll start happening a lot more, and the decades coming after will be blown wide open in terms of how bad things can get. People are wrong if they think the modern crop of white boys is less dangerous than their great great grandpa. I know the mentality, they’re a bit hyena-like, they’re fucking clowns about it. With a love for long range rifles, occasionally a disturbing habit of entertaining themselves with gore, I wouldn’t want to see them win the government’s approval/tolerance.

      Oh FFS, no one thinks white men are pathetic. We think people who consider themselves special little snowflakes because they are white men to be pathetic for that specific reason.

      White men are no more and no less important than everyone else, and for those who have been accustomed to the privilege of being a white male, the equality of being the same as everyone else feels like oppression.
