Also continuously going "hmmmm it SURE IS SUSPICIOUS that nobody likes these three specific politicians, I WONDER WHY" ad nauseam instead of just coming out and accusing actual people of actual racism is so chickenshit that Glenn Greenwald was able to call it out and he's right

Racism isn't "against" anyone, it's a personal moral failing predicated on hating people for things they can't control, i.e. skin color.

You are racist zegermans, either own up, or grow up.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

actually by the particular definition of racism that me and my Twitter followers adhere to, it is literally impossible to be racist against white people. you can't prove me wrong

Ah, I see the problem with this then. The issue is that if a politician keeps a bunch of relatively un-challenging and uncontroversial promises, they'll still count as having kept most of their promises. So this data doesn't necessarily validate the idea that politicians can be relied upon to keep any particular promise, since they generally make a bunch of other promises that are relatively easy to keep.

Hot take: whether it's possible to be racist against white people is a dumb semantics argument that doesn't have any actual application IRL except making people v mad on the Internet

It isn't just institutional or political power, but any power to influence the world around the actor.

Every person holds power in their actions and speech. Interacting with society is a method of enacting agency within the world. Agent actions are expressions of personal power. With no agency, no change can be influenced by the actor, which means the actor has no power/cannot exert power.


There's more to agency than established societal structures.

Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me.
It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you.
I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm ... damned for all time.
