Its really driving me nuts today. I understand the rage about the settlers around the world doing genocide and I froth at the mouth regularly but shitting on workers of the US, germany or any other state is just chauvinism in a different outfit.

The immigrant in germany who makes rap music does not have no culture, tupac who was an american communist did not have no culture, these people are human same as us and it is shocking to me that this huge contradiction is allowed to go unaddressed on a marxist-leninist instance.

Haui claims he was once a millionaire and that he even joined mensa:

I have a very long and complicated history. From “weird” child with lots of problems, to “prodigy”, to high school dropout, to prodigy, loosing many jobs in short succession, going self employed and making millions, to full system crash during covid with near miss on a long prison sentence. I thought something has to be amiss. “I dont think my life is like that of the others.” I got a lot of " giftedness" stuff recommended on youtube back then. Turns out i am. Joined mensa. But there i had the same issues (no idea of chauvinism at that time), got active in supporting, was able to help in every department, not only my own. Got in trouble with the chairpeople for threatening their reign with my capacity and got told to toe the line. No can do! In hindsight i have a chauvinism trigger. If i encounter someone oppressing others for no reason i explode.

His idea of chauvinism doesn't even make any sense...

I see it differently. I see it as someone who shared their journey through their lens. I don't see chauvinism here. I see someone with real pain in need of real, deep healing, and who is a human learning the best they can, while dealing with a lot of pain and disillusionment. I wish our sibling the best on their healing and learning journey.
