And then making some assumptions about my feelings on fascism that surely I must be sad too! I’m not sad that fascism and white supremacy is deeply rooted in Western society. I’m angry for the BIPOC, but especially Black and Indigenous people who have had to live with this

And to see the police respond in this manner so different to the BLM protests, and all these people acting surprised as if you haven’t been warned.

No I don’t cry over some fascist weeping because they “hoped for a better world” (a quote from this person) and I don’t think that should be anyone’s public response to this even if you ARE crying.

exactly what I said. But this person never clarified or acknowledged the problems in their original tweet and acted like I was attacking an ally or something. It was pretty bs if you ask me.

for protesting for their right to not be killed and attacked by the police? I mean I don't think white people should be publicizing tears over that either because it centers white grief again but like...I'm not sad about fascism. I'm pissed and scared for my friends.

This. Like, I see more people being generally displeased/shocked about fascism as this New Bad Conceptual Thing In Our Politics, rather than the culmination of policies that routinely hurt and dehumanize PoC and other marginalized groups...
