It doesn’t have the connotation of a slur, but it’s undeniably “a derogatory race-based term.” I don’t see how an in-person organization in the U.S. could be successful while allowing that, so it’s always struck me as extremely online that we do.
This is a case of “page of reactionary screed that includes one decent point made poorly,” and us being reflexively contrarian, which is 90% right when dealing with reactionaries but still leaves some considerable blind spots.
Arguing that cracker is a slur is very “all lives matter” energy.
A good measure of “not all men” energy too. White people need to learn to not identify with the construct of whiteness that makes white supremecy possible, just like men need to learn to not identify with the patriarchy.
yeah good point, don’t think i’ve seen femme presenting people take issue with it. tbh the woman or femme specific slurs are like at least an order of magnitude worse.
I think he was arguing that “everyone” (
) thinks that they are that and therefore because “everyone” believes something that makes it true, which means hexbear are just trolls pretending to like the evil baddies just to mess with people.
It’s kind of interesting how they always seem to default to that kind of defence when they meet a radically different viewpoint to their own. They are so insular that they can’t even imagine a person disagreeing with them honestly, all disagreement must be lies and trickery.
I whined about cracker being a slur and those mean ol Hexbears just called me a cracker more instead of debating me

Also who here thinks that USSR or China are fascist pretending to be communist? Like what the fuck even is that?
socialism TERF
Assigned socialist at birth.
just like the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei was socialist…

Nah. This guy already knows the counter argument and is itching to debatebro. Calling him a cracker and banning him is objectively correct
we should ban all crackers
So much for the tolerant left
I’m all for unceremoniously banning obvious reactionaries who are here in bad faith, but that’s not what I’m getting at.
Kwame Ture was calling crackers for what they are every other day.

ya’ll just want to stick things together that don’t stick…
all lives matter is so far away from that
