    The fact that c/em_poc is the only place on this site where I and other POC Hexbears (not speaking for everybody here) can feel like we don’t have to overwhelmingly worry that we’re going to see some disappointing bullshit really tells you about the state of white leftists.

    no arguments are stupider than when third worlders and first world poc argue, because of them are used to arguing with white people so you get shit like calling a black person a colonizer or calling a person from Myanmar a krakkker.

        it happens too many times, there’s not hope, only the fact that everyone no matter how privileged or underprivileged they are must learn about other people’s history and the complexity of hierachies and whatever else there is, and it’s not about struggle olympics or who has it worse, like one fears being pulled over by U.S. cops and shot the other fears being killed by U.S. soldiers, it isn’t hard or impossible to stop, just learn about others.

    I think I might have to refuse to use Hexbear besides this mega and mutual_aid again.

    I actually am constantly feeling extremely terrible. I am crying right now, and I was crying last night before I slept.

    I am losing my ability to function because I am honestly still extremely distressed by that comment that sided with my brother when I posted that rant on c/chat.

    It is affecting me to the point of avoidance and I feel deeply scared of interacting with anybody because of how it’s influencing me.

    I’m horrified, constantly shaking, and panicking, and some would say I’m being dramatic, but that comment was the most upbeared out of any other comment on that thread. The worst part is that I can never forget it. If I had known this would make me unable to function, I would’ve never made that post to begin with, but now my mental health is in a state of being extremely fucked because I made that mistake, and I can’t risk this happening on Hexbear again.

    This site already has enough triggering shit as is, but none of the users on this site would ever realize it because they have too many white blindspots, but seeing a comment that leaves me in a state of constant panic is genuinely making me worried to unhealthy levels. I have had constant moments where I’ve had to put down a task just to cry and stress out over this, and it makes me feel utterly hopeless… I get horrified because my mind is like, “I can’t keep living being like this,” but also I do see some reasons to try to carry on… What sucks is that I’m scared to the point where I’m thinking of avoiding my new friend and everyone else I interact with, online or otherwise. The uncertainty is scary… I say to myself, “I genuinely cannot live because of this. It’s too painful.”

      Ugh it has been whitey hot takes all over these last few days, it seems. A few days ago I mentioned earlier in the thread about some cracker shit I saw. I don’t want to stir up e-drama, but it’s a person I’ve had “encounters” with before and I ate a temp ban for it.

      The thread about your brother is so obnoxious people sided against you. Like if you don’t want people texting you while you’re sleeping, change the settings in your phone. It’s not hard lmao. Seeing all these so-called “allies” pearl clutching makes me think more and more the Third World Maoists are onto something.

        I genuinely cannot stop beating myself up, feeling torment, and living life in avoidance and constant fear because of this. It’s one thing to have people disagree with you on a maybe less-than-optimal take. It’s another thing altogether when multiple people say you’re the villain in a serious conflict and you have to live every single day not knowing how true that is, and this is exacerbated by the way my mind works.

        How does my mind work? If I can make two assumptions: a positive one and a negative one, I always assume the negative one is more likely to be true unless I get proven otherwise.

        I’m honestly not certain if I’m the bad one in this situation… even my therapist flat-out said, “Your brother seriously is just not a critical thinker,” but I am still thinking to isolate myself from people just because I am scared of hurting them the same way. My therapist also said this could be due to the fact that my parents were quick to always assume bad faith with me, and if I ever fucked something up, they’d assume it’s because of malice or deliberate sabotage rather than ignorance.

        I can’t calm down, and I literally might go to my clinic to see if I can get a quick emergency session because of the amount of anguish I feel because of this. It’s bad. I’ve had anxiety because of people’s comments before, but literally none have made me this broken. I have to go to the pharmacy to refill a medication anyway, and the clinic is right next to it, so I might as well…

        I also would be horrified to cause any sadness to my friend. She literally texts me good night texts or will randomly send me a text saying things like

        Hey I really am grateful for your friendship, thank you for being such a caring person ☀️

        She also told me that she cannot relate to most people, so me and her husband would be her only friends.

        I don’t wanna take that away from someone if they genuinely mean it, but it’s hard because I also cannot bring myself to further a relationship if I’m 99.99% confident I will say or do something to harm this person at some point.

        And, quite obviously, I respect her far too much to ghost her, so that’s not an option either.

    I see a post with 200+ replies, refuse to look inside, and instead ask the only normal people (the person reading this post 🙂) on this site for a rundown on who’s right and who’s being stupid.

    Boxing rant. I despise the fans of boxing. How do you make a term called Mexican style and it isn’t insulting? Legitimately? Its a catch all term for rock em sock em robots. Just taking shots to the head no skill. Even elite pressure fighters aren’t moving like that all the time. How do people think this is a compliment? Do people look at the great Mexican fighters and think they didn’t have immense skill?

    Cesar chavez sr had elite head movement and defense in and out the pocket. He wouldn’t go 80-0 without it. Salvador Sanchez movement was so effortless he mat as well have been floating. He had one of the highest boxing IQs ever seen. Juan Manuel Marquez is one of the greatest counter punchers period. Finito lopez had almost no technical weakness. Mfs don’t know shit about boxing vegeta-stare

    On one hand, I agree letting in Boers is dumb but on the other hand, it’ll be funny and good if south africa becomes decolonized. That said it’s only like 50 people so it’s not enough to make an impact. I look forward to seeing boers get rocked in the meantime

    It’s lentil time…

    (The lentils don’t look very saucy, but there is a glaze on them. I really just threw together a bunch of ingredients that I do have to make them taste good.)
