      Historically speaking, successful social change for the better, eg revolutions, has almost always come only when certain middle class/privileged people joined with underprivileged people.

      Attacking anyone who is richer or whiter than yourself, when they are on the same side as you, is stupid.

        Successful for whom? You do see the problem, right?

        To add to this: You do see the irony in replying to a post about white activism and its hypocrisy with “well, activism works better when white people get involved”? Right? RIGHT?

              I’m a white dude, and this reads like you’re just pissy, but I’m open to the idea I might be wrong or blinded due to my privilege.

              Please explain what you’re getting at? If I’m in the wrong about this, I would love to know and become better.

                Why yes, I’m am pissy at white people. You thinking that pointing it out is some kind of “ah-ha” moment just showcases obliviousness. I do believe you’re at least curious to understand, though. Unfortunately, explaining it would require a longer response than I’m willing to type right now so I’ll leave you with some links:

                https://www.healthline.com/health/white-saviorism

                https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/09670106211024419

                https://www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/the-politics-of-representation-in-the-climate-movement/

                Basically, white people getting involved into the problems of non-white societies very often leads to erasure and colonialism.

          Successful in their aims.

          What on earth makes you think I was referring to “white people” getting involved in non-white struggle??? Modern American race politics is meaningless in the context of the last thousand years of historical change.

          I recommend you get yourself a copy of, say, The People’s History of the World and read up on social change in ancient Rome, the French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, the Caliphates etc.

          What I am talking about is simply a matter of historical record.

          A specifically non-white non-western example I can give you off the top of my head is the importance of the involvement of warrior caste people like Adbaraya Toya in the Haitian revolution.

            Leave it to the white man to dismiss the impact of their parasitic race on the entirety of the world as “modern American race politics”. Oh, how I would love to have the privilege to afford to be as uneducated as you. Do you just namedrop shit you have no knowledge of or have you looked at the fallout of your stupid examples? Hint: Oligarchy.

                Take a stroll through the posts on this community and tell how many of the “World News” are actually White News. Keep in mind white people make less than 10% of the population.

                  World News is not Lemmy, and looking at posts doesn’t determine the population make-up of Lemmy users. Neither does posts about White News, whatever that means, determine the race of then poster.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
