I don't know why everyone's so adamant that this can't happen. I don't see it that often, but at least in online spaces, I've definitely seen others being targeted for having the wrong genetics and not knowing enough about what life is like for those who look different from them. If you don't encounter any of this, then that's great. That's what we want, and there's probably nothing you can do differently to meaningfully change anything. But if we do see it, then it's our responsibility to curb this kind of behaviour.

    because it violates their black and white world view that one one side is good and the other side is bad.

    and when their sides doe shitty things, they start saying it can't be bad, it must be the victim of the shitty thing that is bad.

    or put more simply, it's the view that anyone who doesn't agree with me is a Nazi.

    It's because you specifically are very obviously a liar. You didn't spend three years being shouted at in university, it's a crazy claim.

    Are there shitty leftists, yes, leftists are people and people have flaws. The idea that the entire community is just people telling at white guys is a fabrication. It's a fabrication pushed by people who want to excite hate on the internet. That's why the conversation only ever happens on the internet. Make community and find help.

    Except when you join communities and they tell you to fuck off for having a penis and how you have 'stolen' your position from someone more deserving than you. Or how your very presence, going about your business bothering nobody, is 'problematic'. Because you don't count towards their diversity quota, even though you do because you're poor. But admitting poor people isn't something good... you have to be poor and queer so we can market you on social media and score virtue signal points.

    The funny thing about the entire discourse about white guys is that they assume you are rich, and they want you if you are rich because they want your money. But as soon as anyone finds out you aren't going to join their community and donate all your money, they expect you to fuck off because you are worthless to them. You are a drain on the system if you need help, and that 'help' only has worth if you are non-male and non-white. Poor white guys are basically told to fuck off and die because they only want to only help non-men and non-white people.
