Something that the Americnas of this site wont even comprehend. Shit like this happens everyday in europe and we get used to it because the alternative is some yanke bullcrab

genuinely have no more patience or understanding left. if you won't stand up for jews, get the fuck away from me. the hatred and pogroms and murders won't stop until the rest of you decide it might possibly be time to deal with the rampant antisemitism in your communities.

actually I hate the term "mutual aid" it reeks of white exceptionalism. what you think is "cool counterculture never been done before sooo leftist" is considered normal adult mature people behavior in most cultures. like you are pretending you invented something soooo new and different but not crediting the people for whom this is normal and expected behavior, and then backwardly superimposing your Eurocentric term onto cultures which do not think this is anything special and often don't have a term for it or it is just called "generosity". like is it soso radical for me to hand my shirt to someone who asked for it? no because that is expected behavior in Senegal. You are supposed to literally give someone the shirt off of your back if they ask for it. "mutual aid" is not a thing when everyone is expected to share. people do not seek praise and recognition over it, they just share their food with everyone all the time. like my friend who is Haitian bought a full size pizza for everyone and carried it around today asking everyone in different rooms if they wanted some. that is normal people behavior. and its not just the african diaspora. in China the standard way of asking after someone politely is "have you eaten?". If the person being asked says no, the asker must feed them no matter what even if they are a total stranger. the famous Lakota chief and medicine man Tatanka Iyotake (Buffalo-Bull-Sitting-Down, more commonly known by whites as "Sitting Bull") was appalled at the existence of street urchins during his travels across the eastern seaboard and used to hand all of his earnings penny by penny to the nearest starving child, while apparently muttering to himself in Lakota "white men think they are so great, but really they cannot even feed their children and behave like them" or something to that effect (this anecdote is from Lakota oral history). Cultures as disparate as Apache and Japanese have noted their confusion and disgust at the selfishness, irrationality, lack of emotional restraint, and unwillingness to share of the Europeans they encountered. So like..... idk be a normal person and get out of your bubble?

they're also xenophobic toward the entire idea of diaspora and basically pro assimilation. I edited an article that buried the heritage of someone with a similar family background o mine to read (countryian)-american and they edited it back with criticism and buried it again.

the obsession both the left and the right have right now with erasing historical reality when it comes to the Americas should be an alarm for everyone "these are just Asians Siberians" "they produced nothing and were in the Stone Age" "they migrated over from Asia, black Americans are the real natives" and "they all slaughtered each other and we won the war so be grateful you have technology" "all people suffer, they need to get over it" and "they are central Asians/entirely white" "why would they be real authentic natives? they are wearing polyester". I am alternating left right left right with these comments, could you tell? no. This is EXTREMELY worrying for the cultures here. anyway current science says they were in mexico 30-60,000 years ago. 50 million died due to European colonization. brain surgery with an 80% survival rate (quechua), corn (everyone), potatoes (quechua), cocaine (everybody in the south of central america to the western edge of south America), snowshoes (anishinaabe), portable biodegradable soup pots (plains peoples), anti-tornado dwellings (plains peoples), beans (idk who invented this), strawberries (anishinaabe), lacrosse (6 Nations - Haudenosaunee Confederacy), canoes (woodland peoples + northwest peoples), most hallucinogenic plants (everyone), cement less stone walls that hold up better than European ones but have no adhesive at all (central and south American peoples), tacos (central American peoples), chilis (everyone), guacamole (Caribbean island peoples), tamales (Maya), etc etc etc, etc etc.
