edit: for anyone stumbling into the drama, i probably should have elaborated on this post. I am not saying you can't make fun of white people not being able to eat spicy food or anything, but at some point it becomes self-flagellating. to quote comrade RedQuestionAsker:

It's good to challenge white supremacy in all of its incarnations at all time. It's certainly good to refuse to be proud to be white considering what the concept of whiteness is.

It's another thing to performatively hate yourself in a cocktail of millennial self-deprecation and liberal white guilt. It's not revolutionary, and it's probably not good for you.

that is all. comrades just know i dont hate any of you. i'm not trying to start a slapfight. i just saw this as weird performative behavior and wanted to call it out.

But what if I’m actively trying to be the most off putting person physically possible to deter possible right wingers from interacting with me (and torment the ones that persist), Drama

Someone here had a great take along the lines of:

Indulging in graphic revenge fantasies and dressing like Nathan J. Robinson are both aesthetic choices a leftist can make. We only rip on one of these, and it's not the one that makes normal people think you're some bitter weirdo.
