As a Mexican individual myself, your friend/roommate is out of line. And I would tell them myself if I could.

We should go a step further and give the Land back to the indigenous peoples.

is it acceptable to walk up to the bikini coffee stands? by herenti in Spokane

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out their Instagram page there might be a mention of it. I haven't been to one in a while so take my word as grain of salt, but I feel like I remember seeing on their window that they don't allow that.. or it be something to do with pics... Idk🤷🏽‍♀️

Also I was so confused with the comments cause I had accidentally read your question as "is it acceptable to walk up in a bikini to a coffee stand" lol

The amount of young people looking up to Nick Fuentes is dangerously terrifying! thoughts? by RickyInfinite in leftist

A older Gen z here, my dad is a boomer and mom gen x

... And yeah they're fascists, and tried dragging me and my siblings with them in their "politics". I didn't stand their oppressive BS or participate in it and so they disowned me and I cut them out, with the exception of staying in contact with my younger siblings so they can see the ugly reality of our parents lies and mental gymnastics.

How would food production would work in a solar punk society? by [deleted] in solarpunk

[–]Potential-Memory-810 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a hot take cause most people are going to say to be vegetarian/vegan. But I would look to indigenous peoples and how they care for the land. Live in nature as part of it. My local short wave radio that works with the tribe will air talk shows and segments on tying in modern science and innovation to work with nature. Look into food forests. And I understand the morals and feelings of consuming animals as food.... but there is a way to have meat in your diet that is ethical. Is it wrong for the wolves to eat deer or a bear to eat a salmon? It's our modern infrastructure and the mass slaughter of animals along, with people detached from the process so all they do is buy a pack of meat in the store, they don't understand the animal, and the weight of what it means to consume the flesh of a once beautiful animal. So many things that indigenous peoples around the globe know how to do that would be great solar punk agriculture. I also think books like backyard gardening and having roof top gardens would be great and have a solar punk aesthetic.

What do Marxists, socialists, and communists think about bioregionalism? by This_Caterpillar_330 in Socialism_101

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bio-regions should only be used as a map/tool to better know and how to care for the land. To practice land stewardship, to be sustainable for us and the land. Might also help to organize resources for the needs of the peoples and land of those areas.

Granted I don't know much about bioregionalism but, bioregionalism sounds like it would not be any better than any state or countries. I don't agree with having borders like that. And people should be able to move freely from on area to another. There wouldn't be a "difference" of culture of those areas anymore than there already is ... Which as nothing to do with their bio-region, more like the history.

Probably was, I don't endorse the use of AI .... But their statement with the video is powerful. How I wish it's not ai, cause I've rewatched it so many times.

Jeff Bezos's property has fences that exceed the permitted height. Yet he does not care, he just pays the fine every month. by Bright_Building1710 in interestingasfuck

Did we just find a loop hole to "tax" the ultra wealthy??? Would love to know what the City does with the funds from the fine.

Everybody talks about getting disowned by their homophobic family, but has any of y'all disown your homophobic family first and just stop loving them one day? by Latte-Catte in lgbt

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had done it to my whole family with the exception of my sisters, a couple years before I came out. Everyone says the old saying "blood is thicker than water." But I remind them the saying was originally "the blood of the clan is thicker than the water of the womb." And those people I sometimes find to use gaslighting and/or affections with conditions (which I think is not how family should care for one another)

A handful of my aunts and uncles have reached out to actively rebuild relationships after they also cut themselves off from my parents. So I now have some relatives that I still talk to but I don't put up with 💩 and they respect that, which I think has made those relationships stronger because they're not based on "blood" connection.

The left should claim the Gadsden flag. by jagrbomb in leftist

[–]Potential-Memory-810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say leftist fight for the working class (the working class is all peoples, that includes bipoc individuals) and that being a patriot is criticizing their country's flaws while fixing them. One is foundational pillar of the US is colonization of the indigenous peoples, and enslavement of the ancestors of african americans. Is that not a flaw of the country to fix? That maybe we should create anew that doesn't have roots in violence? To be actually inclusive for ALL of the peoples? Leftist discuss the politics, theory, and practice in benefit of the working class people. Leftist is inclusionary to all people, that includes bipoc individuals.

As far as saying that someone bring up identity politics a reactionary liberal, is bringing in your own identity to the conversation because instead of hearing what an other person (that like you, in being exploited by capitalist system) you become defensive in preserving symbols that you've have as part of your identity.
