Alright...so...your COC brought you in to see me. I asked what was the problem and they said fucked up. I looked over the test results and yeah. They are pretty bad.

So I am going to go beat by beat about how you fucked up 1/ https://twitter.com/HumansAreLoco/status/1334579542854410242
And how to avoid this in the future.
*she looks down at your chart*
So your comrade made a mild yet accurate criticism about white people in general, and you were offended. You then strawmaned his point by saying ALL white people, when people came to explain your error...

*flips page*
you then accused them of putting words in your mouth after you literally just did the same thing.
And then you took the rightwing talking point of reverse racism. 3/
*flips another page*
...And then, you made the weirdest class reductionist argument I have ever seen.

Ok. Lets start where you fucked up, if you were to respond to a future tweet or a tweet thats similar in nature. What you could say...is "Too many white people" or..."Yeah."

If you don't get it still.

It would be like a socialist saying, "Billionaries are leeches in society."

And then you chime in and say, "Not all billionaries are leeches Bill Gates has done real work in africa with his vaccine initiative." And then proceed to double down.

So...
This is what I recommend. Actually talk to a COC and take a backseat. Look, listen and learn. This isn't about you, its not about me. This is their struggle in which we are being given the opportunity to show solidarity and participate in. Whenever you have doubt...

Ask yourself what would John Brown do?

Would he rush to defend white people or would he align himself with his COC?

or copy the link and send it to a COC and get their take.

You have options.
