Comic Strips

What's funny about that is the "difficulty slider" doesn't actually affect gameplay.

In true genie fashion, the only change in their life is that now, a single occasion where a racist person decided not to hold a door open for them, changes so that they do.

Genies are all about malicious compliance.

Not if he wants to be taken seriously

Yeah, because being objectified and sexualised from before you even hit puberty, having fewer rights (including those to your own body), getting paid less for the same work and not at all for all the work that isn't considered work by men like raising kids and running a home, wondering if we're one of the women who WILL statistically get murdered by their partner on any given week, being subjected to near constant rape threats and almost certainly (again, statistically it's pretty much all women) surviving sexual harassment and abuse if not rape too and then facing an entire system dedicated to discrediting and blaming you while protecting the abusers ("wouldn't want to ruin his life over a bit of fun"), as well as having to deal with misogynistic asshats such as yourself who convince themselves that because men buy us drinks at bars (in an expectation of sex, of course) we've got it easy, and pretend none of the other things are happening because it's easier to gaslight your victims than it is to accept that you're a massive and active part of the problem, on a daily basis, is a real fucking treat..

Ass.

Well as long as racism exists and is prevalent, we got it "not as hard".

Easier

Although I'd love to see more class-conscious memes and activism.

Yes, it's harder to be black/hispanic/asian in many places. Yes, it's harder to be a woman. Yes, it's harder to be LGBT, especially T. But what really sucks so hard and hits almost all of us (and minorities often get it even worse due to workplace discrimination and lower rates of ownership!) is the oppression of the working class.

Our most unscrupulous and evil oppressors don't lose all that much from retranslating slogans about equality between people of all genders, races, sexual orientations etc.; in fact, they will play chameleon and pretend to support any dominant rhetoric - except the one that can actually make a giant change, but at their expense - the rhetoric of a class war. Combine this with corporate power and reach, and you'll see how we got to addressing literally anything but not the elephant in the room.

Worker-led societies generally promote equal access to jobs, education and services to people of all ethnicities, genders and other traits, bolster a culture of global friendship and cooperation, and promote sustainable development that puts people - all people - first.

It's in our common interest to put class war as our very first priority - for the greater good of us all.

Such a strawman, lol. The comic clearly says 'eas_ier_'

To be fair black people have been forcibly kept in lower class by wealthy white people

We can't deny systematic racism. It's totally baked in.

Racism itself is promoted and maintained by the ruling class because white supremacy serves to undermine class consciousness. The same playbook is uses for other forms of marginalization, but race is the most strongly maintained in the United States due to chattel slavery and the ruling class' investment in it.

What this means is that while class is the major material dividing line that societal forces follow, racism is also a potent force. Just because it gets the oxygen it needs to survive from the continued class war does not mean that racism itself does not exist and make the lives of black people, brown people, etc harder. And white people do have it easier just because they're white. So if you say otherwise, those who know better will not listen to you.

So, instead of going the route that dismisses the impact of racism, instead acknowledge that class and race oppressions are intertwined and that the former drives the latter, so we need to end capitalism in order to undo marginalization. And to do so in solidarity means you also need to take an anti-racist line and stand in solidarity with marginalized people.

I think you need to look at prison sentencing disparities if you don't think white people have it easier than black people.

Then why did you even comment? What was the point?

Make the joke, receive the potential backlash or just dint say anything.

I'd say shoot your shot, you miss a 100% of the ones you don't take

And will also inherit white fragility, it seems.

What do you mean?
