The stupid motherfucker that tried to evict me went so far as to illegally record me through my bedroom door. I confronted him with the threat of literal prison time (something I did not want to do and would not have gone through with) an he was literally trembling before me. It's done, it is finally over and in the process I get a friend a place to live.

White people on this site say comprador because they don’t feel comfortable saying coon or Uncle Tom lmaoooooo . You cant be a comprador in America that’s not what that word means. Edit. Not saying they should go around saying coon or Uncle Tom. Those are words for someone betraying their own community. But there’s this weird idea that all people of color have this duty to the (white) working class in a way that white people don’t it’s weird. its weird that hexbears feel the need to invent an insult for people of color, most of the time someone says comprador on hexbear they just mean "poc that I don't like or is reactionary".

I just thought it meant class collaborator. I would've called him comprador in this case if he was white too.

I would love to know what to use in its place though and I meant it in no such way as you described which is definitely not cool.

Bootlicker? And yeah no worries I think Hexbear has like twisted the word so far from it’s original meaning it’s a site wide problem.

Then call them western worshippers...

Comprador indicates capitalist status of that being described as such...
