In 2011 too. That's pre-BLM. I can't think of anything out of the ordinary where white people were getting called out or felt under threat. I think this is just good old fashion, "Momma says" racism.

Although, in both cases, it's the DHS. Why is FEMA part of that? There was, and is obviously, legitimate concern of the DHS being used to oppress people. They were just lied to about who was planning on doing it. Structurally the critique was, at least in part, valid.

hansolo@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 169d

As usual, for entirely batshit crazy irrational reasons. These are the same people who prior to 9/11 worried about the "New World Oder" and UN Agenda 21 meaning that French troops in blue helmets would go door to door and take guns away from Americans. If there was a Polymarket back then, how many of these people would have bet their life savings every year on that outcome and been wrong every. single. time. And kept on betting on it year after year.

Then after the Patriot Act created DHS, FEMA became the boogeyman because it would be the conduit for executing emergency powers, and 9/11 was the first national emergency in the lives of most conspiracy nuts. Sort of like how ICE is the specific agency under DHS murdering people, DHS, other than PuppyKiller herself, is largely removed from the day-to-day operations of sub-agencies. I imagine there was also a certain racist stripe of "yes, we want homeland security....from brown people. Keep doing anything you want to them, that's fine." Then the discordant wish to not let FEMA get some Deep State cancer and Obama put all the Good Ol' Boys in camps. Functionally, it makes no sense, but the same people think the President is a King or God, so who fucking knows.

Structurally, there was a basis in fact only so far as "this agency does things during emergencies." Past that, it's all to sell newsletters and books and tacticool powdered eggs. Combined with the fact that any new agency created in the US government immediately gets populated by idiots that wouldn't get promoted if they stayed somewhere else, DHS and FEMA have consistently demonstrated significant ineptitude and being too slow-moving to do much in the way of dealing with an actual emergency. Under DHS, maaaybe CISA and the Coast Guard are/were competent and that's about it. Meaning that anyone seriously fearing conspiracy-style "FEMA camps" for their NWO national roundup would have 6-18 months of lead time to know the camps are being built (poorly by the highest bidder) and maybe never even get done due to cost overruns.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk about Classic Conspiracy Nuts and you.

1900 Wikipedia (citing historical demographers) states areas populated by European-descent people were 36% of world pop (~594M of 1.65B).

Today (2025, world ~8.2B) No UN global race data exists. Estimates for European-ancestry population: 800M–1.3B (10–16%), with ~8–12% common in stricter counts excluding mixes/immigrants.

I exaggerated a bit but the math checks out

Back in 1900, it wasn't just European-descent that lived in Europe either. We were as multicultural back then as we are now. Travel has existed for a long time.

So what if other parts of the world had a bigger population growth? This isn't a competition.

There is only one race you should care about: the HUMAN race.

Everything thing else are variations that aren't relevant.

Lol no you're not getting the short end of the stick. Yes, DEI shouldn't be a thing in an ideal world, but we don't live in an ideal world and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.

Lol no you're not getting the short end of the stick.

I had more I now have less because what I used to have is being reallocated to other people who are less skilled/capable than myself.

Yes, DEI shouldn't be a thing in an ideal world

Glad we agree

but we don't live in an ideal world

So ur idea to fight systemaric bias is to introduce more systematic bias? That's like saying the best way to defeat the systematic bias by the Nazis is to become a fascist regime and send all German citizens to concentration camps. That's fucking insane.

and white privilege is still a thing basically anywhere in the world.

I'm not privileged cos I'm white I'm privileged cos my parents are well off and they got me highly educated, are involved in my life, care about me, love me, and I was born in Australia. None of that has anything to do with the colour of my skin. Unless ur implying that nonwhite people are poor, uneducated, and have unloving parents because of the colour of their skin. That's racist as fuck bro.

No problem addressed by dei is caused by identity. I have no problem with socialised services for those who got unlucky. I have a problem with that being allocated based upon identity.

I think the libertarian way of thinking of liberty applies very effectively here: you should have the liberty to do whatever u want on the condition it does not reduce the net total liberty of society. Giving poor people food, water, housing, education, etc (essentially general necessities to produce productive members of society) does not reduce total net liberty it increases it. Taking an opportunity away from me and giving it to someone else based on the colour of their skin does not increase liberty. The number of opportunities remain the same, it causes less qualified people to have positions despite more qualified alternatives being willing and available. It also has a byproduct of enforcing racist/sexist/homophobic grouping and thinking.

ammonium@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 169d

You talk as if DEI has tipped the scales in the other direction because you experienced a few inconveniences, but in reality it's not enough to balance them. You're only talking about what you experience, but you have no thought for others. Which I actually can understand, it's hard to relate to things you don't experience and probably not even see (I don't), but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

Explain to us how you've been fucked by DEI and immigration, we're all ears.

muntedcrocodile@hilariouschaos.com · -5 pts · 170d

Sure thing.

Dei: Their is a set quantity (with minor variations) of jobs, opportunities, wealth, etc. Those resources should be offered to the person most qualified ie egalitarianism. Dei by definition fails at doing this it reallocates resources from those who are most qualified to other people based on their identity (race, religion, sexuality etc) dei requires and thus enforces racism, sexism, homophobia etc, etc.

Immigration: Economics 101 outlines the laws of supply demand. Immigration increases the supply of labour and increases the demand on goods and services. Thus the value of labour drops and the value of goods and services increases. The end result of this is lower wages and higher cost of living. This is exactly what u want if you are part of the bourgeois ownership class and the opposite to what everyone else wants.

We have statistics to prove that immigrants commit higher levels of crime and cost more in terms of welfare.

That's not to say I dislike all immigration as we can very easily tell from the statistics that certain classes of immigrants actually commit less crime and contribute more to economic prosperity.

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 169d

The reason your argument is fascist brainwashing propaganda is because it ignores the hundreds of years of discrimination and disenfranchisement that groups of people have suffered under the racial caste system of settler colonialist capitalism with white working class men acting as the enforcers of oppression. This system was created by the capitalist class but we are all oppressed by this system. The capitalist class wants you to feel anger and rage towards the people below you in the heirarchy and your rage reinforces the oppressive system keeping us all down. What the pedofile parasite capitalist class doesn’t want you to do is punch up so just keep punching down while they rob us blind and steal our future for the pedofile parasite class because it’s a class war and billions are being spent to radicalize young men to uphold their system of oppression on the working class

Contentedness@lemmy.nz · 18 pts · 171d (8 replies)

If I remember rightly in the UK in the 70s there was a subculture called Skinheads. It was similar to early Punk with big boots and leather jackets but having a shaved head was a big part of it. So was reggae music. They loved the reggae.

Gradually, however, Skinhead culture became political in a way that has nothing to do with reggae music. Before long Skinheads were violent white supremacists.

Point is I assume at some stage in that transition there must have been Skinheads that were far enough along politically to be White Nationalists but still retain the original love for the reggae. So I don't think it would be that far fetched to assume some of them might have had a go at making a song or two.

Would it be any good? Probably not. Will I be looking for it? No. If it was on the radio right now would I listen to it? Again, no. But does it exist somewhere out there? I believe it probably does!

SHARPs are Skin Heads Against Racist People. they want to get back to the origins of the skinhead movement, which ironically has its roots in acting in solidarity with Black coworkers on a labor force against racism. back in the late 60s and early 70s, bosses would make their Black employees shave their heads as "a safety measure" either agailst lice or getting caught in factory equipment. meanwhile their white counterparts were allowed to maintain their hairstyles. if you know anything about the history of genocide, you know shaving heads is part of dehumanization. so some white working people started shaving their heads to communicate with their black coworkers "i am you, and you are me. we are human, and we are together"

this became such a common act of labor solidarity that the racist origins of the bosses shaving heads was lost. so by the late 70s you had white people shaving their heads in solidarity with labor, but without any notion that this solidarity extended across racial bounds. it wasn't long after that you see the british Labour party shift from being a leftist party to being a fascist-lite party

Built something like an overripe pear, he’d worn the once-famous face of Christian White for twenty years—Christian White of the Aryan Reggae Band. Sony Mao to his generation, and final champion of race rock. I’m a whiz at trivia. Christian White: classic pop face with a singer’s high-definition muscles, chiseled cheekbones. Angelic in one light, handsomely depraved in another. But Ralfi’s eyes lived behind that face, and they were small and cold and black.

Infinitesunrise is wrong to place the emphasis on the Jewish part and not the Zionist part, but I will say this: in Israel there is economic inequality between Ashkenazim and Mizrahim. Ashkenazim come from Europe and have paler skin. Mizrahim come from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, and often have darker skin. If you compare the income of Ashkenazim and Mizrahim in modern day Israel, Ashkenazim control much of the country's wealth. Which is the same pattern you see in the rest of the world with white privilege.

Now, why does Israel want to compete in Eurovision? Israel isn't in Europe, it's in Asia, so how does that make sense? Well, the big clue is Australia. Australia isn't in Europe either, but it has a very European cultural identity, mainly represented in the fact that it was founded as a racist colonial project and it has a European king. So what Israel is culturally signalling through its investment in competing in Eurovision is "we are culturally European." And we can see that in the fact that Israel is a colonialist state, just like Australia. Israel is performing whiteness. They're trying to tell the western world "we are colonisers like you". And that's why a lot of people object to Israel's participation in Eurovision. Because it's a piece in their plan to colonise Palestine. They're using it to gain political legitimacy and maintain alliances.

So, are Jewish people white? No. But, are there Jewish people who benefit from white privilege and seek to use white privilege to further colonialism? Yes, but not because they're Jewish. It's because they're bourgeois racists.

I wrote jewish zionist only because I had just written rastafari zionist, so needed differentiation. Nothing I wrote was incorrect, but there are so many potentially triggering words in my comment that I think people's brains just took off running without reading carefully. Read my other reply to the comment above, too.
