We can and should joke about “white” culture but I’ve thought about this, and how european-americans really don’t have cultures because of capitalism and, ironically, white supremacy. If traditions had stayed and people not made to mold themselves into essentially the culture of bourgeois English settlers, there’d actually be a culture to be part of. You kind of see it with new immigrant communities, at least up to a century ago with European migrants. Sure it’d all be like dumb clothes, silly dances, and questionable food on strange holidays, but hey, there’s a community with historical roots and connections, which I’m guessing white folks would not mind right now.

Of course maybe being colonizers and being divorced from a cultures native geography would mean it’s death regardless.

America is a settler colonial state, that was primarily settled by people from settler colonialist states (Ulster Scots and Barbados plantation owners)! We never had a chance.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
