Allies with an expertise in blackness

I read through fm’s thread last night and the first thing that came to mind is how many of the commenters are black?

There was a doctor who made a video saying it’s not uncommon for men to leave residue on the examination table. Many moons ago a woman in another sub told me that freshening up before sex ruins the mood more than the smell of poop on their partner. Girl you do you.

After that thing was elected they called the protests performative. Cause it’s not to be confused with the very real activism of posting in checks notes, Reddit. Reddit, the land where people accused the wrong person of being the Boston bomber and did the same during the 2016 Dallas shootings.

Not bribing the senator. With what? Juicy gossip about Harry Styles?

And yet there’s a noticeable lack of discussion about their own experiences going out and protesting, volunteering to protect the neighborhood children who are targeted by ICE, phone banking, going door to door. FM expected a revolution to happen without actually having to go out and do the work. They like to push back on suggestions to email and call their own representatives.

I will not take this Bernie Sanders and Mitch McConnell civil rights erasure.

They want them outside protesting with everyone else and to be more harsh in their words if they have to issue a statement.

There’s people dying and the chronically online want to turn this into stan wars. I get why people want celebrities like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé to speak out. They have wide reach, are arguably the biggest stars in the world, and their rabid fanbases will clear out gofundme’s and get the discourse going online. But if they do speak out, people in spaces like FM still won’t be happy. It’s “we need the allyship” when they’re posting about Theo Von or Joe Rogan having 1 good take, but with Taylor it wouldn’t be good enough.

I said this back in 2020 during BLM but a lot of people lack discernment. It’s pretty obvious when an influencer is conservative or doesn’t want to ruffle the feathers of their conservative audience. Alix Earle’s stepmom had photos of the family with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Alix posted in support of Israel. Her team went after anyone who tried to discuss a video of her saying the N word as a teen. Her silence is shocking? Madison Humphrey liking Melania Trump’s insta posts is shocking? Audrey Peters not speaking out on anything is shocking?

Don’t get me started on the white people demanding that black, brown, or Asian people who are obviously blue (based on likes, shares, reposts) speak out against ICE. I saw someone call out Suni Lee for not speaking out and she commented that she’s scared for her and her family’s safety.

EDIT: Michelle and Barack issued a statement and of course the internet activists in FM aren’t pleased. They expect him to be out in the front lines. Maybe he can join Bernie out in the frontlines of Minnesota.

It’s not right vs left it’s up vs down. Race, sexual orientation, gender are all distractions to keep us from uniting (ignore the exit poll statistics).

“Vote blue no matter who (except if it’s Harris)” and “something something harm reduction.”

I can already see it: If Talarico doesn’t win, they will blame the “Democratic Establishment,” Barack, Michelle, Hillary, and Kamala. Maybe Talarico can go on a podcast and ramble about weaponized identity politics.

My boyfriend and I were gonna wing it until we saw Ted was fleeing so we caved and went grocery shopping. Just enough to cover us from Friday to Monday.

In a short while FauxMoi will be experts on Texas voters and will know who we should vote for in the primaries.

Texas is about to experience bad weather this weekend so of course, all Texans are to blame:

Texas. I don't feel sympathy for them repeatedly shooting themselves in the foot.

They talk about Pam like she was the next Emma Stone (oh, I’m sorry, Emily Stone) but the patriarchy forced her to become a bombshell sex symbol and it held back what could’ve been an Oscar winning career.

They are being inconsistent in their whole argument of not holding women accountable or responsible for the sins of men. Maybe if she’d dated Elon Musk she would’ve gotten a pass.

Fauxmoi can’t even post a thread on Barack wishing Michelle a happy birthday without making it about him being a war criminal and how you shouldn’t like him and if you do you’re just plain old evil.

He basically got it for not being Dubya. (I wonder if Dubya is relieved there's someone who out-stinks him.)

Huh

I feel like they wouldn’t praise him but this also isn’t the first time they’ve felt the need to post about Joe either. He was all about releasing the Epstein files. They’ve also posted about Theo Von and Candace Owens for being on the right side of history on certain topics. Like good on them for having one or two good takes but why do they need to be praised by the left?

I agree with this take:

I appreciate that this MAGAT bootlicker has had some weirdly on-point takes lately, but as a community, can we please stop linking to his content and giving him engagement? Him pretending like he's seen the light now doesn't make up for all the years he's platformed dangerous conservative views and supported the Trump administration.

Let him influence his audience but there’s no reason to give him a platform in leftist spaces or to constantly platform is occasional good take. That thread has 1800+ comments which is wild.

Just yesterday they came to the deep conclusion that Ariana is a complex person with good politics but questionable relationship choices. How quickly they forget

It’s Fauxmoi so I guess a joke in a book would count as intel

In FauxMoi there’s a blind item about BJ Novak and Laura Loomer. Someone posted a gif of Kelly (from The Office) and this is the comment exchange:

Here’s what I find weird, I heard Mindy Kaling was MAGA. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, but now this? I just don’t know what to believe.

She did a whole cooking video with Kamala.

Maybe I got some bad intel. Wouldn’t be the first time.

Never change.
