I always knew the Liberal academia was white-centric but this level of ignorance is astounding!

Can Americans stop using the word "latino"? Shit's meaningless

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 7 hours ago

As a mexican, it makes perfect sense. There is nothing worse than migra with a latino last name, it doesn't surprise me that they're ICE's best goons.

whoa it turns out if you spend your time ignoring social class, you end up with an inconsistent slurry of identity politics

seems like it's her education that was woefully inadequate

*conveniently woefully inadequate.

On a level plain, simple mounds look like hills; and the insipid flatness of our present bourgeoisie is to be measured by the altitude of its great intellects.

fanon liberalism being unable to contend with neocolonialism moment. genuinely embarrassing that this person is ordained as a "serious academic" by an institution.

[–] MarxMadness@hexbear.net 31 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Even more embarrassing: she obviously hasn't seen Avatar 3

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 30 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Nor listened to "Fuck Tha Police"

And on the other hand without a gun, they can't get none
But don't let it be a black and a white one

she definitely hasn't heard KRS-One

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 26 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

She deleted this by the looks of it.

It IS embarrassing. Someone in "ethnic politics" with such a race theory ass take, she's nazi-adjacent in her mentality and doesn't even realise it.

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 8 hours ago

The consequences prioritizing identity politics over class struggle.

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 38 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

our theories are woefully inadequate

They should've realised that when majority of Latino men voted for Trump... Over a year ago.

Yeah they do, when bad things happen it’s because of communism, when good things happen it’s because of the DNC

[–] TheSpectreOfGay@hexbear.net 36 points 15 hours ago

everything that happens is randomness and cruelty but fortunately they are comfortable enough for it not to affect them most of the time so it's just "wow that's so sad". if it ever does affect them i think they explode

Love when my liberal "political scientists" are working on bizarre racial ideologies.

Reminds me of the army using Indian scouts from tribe A to hunt tribe B. Something that has done for at least 500 years now

Didn’t the Romans use Barbarians to fight other Barbarians too?

[–] machiabelly@hexbear.net 10 points 10 hours ago

Every empire ever has exploited local political tensions to expand their borders, especially in areas that are remote to the heartland. The Aztec and Incan empires were conquered by exploiting ongoing civil wars. The Romans achieved their initial gains into Britain, and probably other places, by playing into political rivalries.

I've read so many police brutality cases where the officer has a hispanic last names. Hispanics are the fastest growing police ethnicity, but are still under represented as a portion of population. and while having a Hispanic last name doesn't mean they self identify that way, it does seem like poc cops try to prove themselves to their colleagues by brutality. When was the last nationally reported police murder that was exclusively white officers? Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, and Freddie Gray all included multiple poc murderers.

Research suggests that more black officers in a white dominated police force actually increases fatal encounters, and only once there is a near majority do fatalities decline again. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/02/04/513218656/does-having-more-black-officers-reduce-police-violence

Wait until she learns about Los Angeles and the policing there.

Some people just never made it out of the 2010s

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 30 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

If I'm being really generous, I'd say "political scientists" after the 1510s should probably understand this concept, but really this kind of thing has literally happened for as long as there has been any kind of persecution of any group so I'm really confused by her confusion.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

You don't have to be bright to have an advanced degree. Hell, you don't even have to be especially gifted in your own field to hold an advanced degree, you mostly just need to be capable of rote memorization/recall.

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 6 points 12 hours ago

I feel like outside observers usually understand the concept of compradors naturally when they see it in action as long as they understand that people of other "races" are not fundamentally different from them. Which probably says something about this "political scientist".

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago (7 children)

Ngl I like, generally understand the concept and I’m aware that compradors exist in every persecution but I do also definitely feel the “How the fuck could you do this, and how stupid are you to think this will save you?”

We’re not talking about people in concentration camps who’re getting extra food or something for being a snitch, these people could simply not join ICE or CBP. Go work for McDonald’s or something dude, the pay is barely less and it’s way easier on the conscience.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 21 points 14 hours ago

As the Spanish empire was less hung up on the idea of avoiding intermarriage with the natives than the English were, there’s much more of a spectrum of latinos from an ethnic standpoint. There’s some that are entirely or nearly entirely indigenous, likewise with Spaniard ethnicity, a whole bunch of in-between, plus afro-latinos. This creates a dynamic where some latinos think they prove their “good one”/European status by showing sufficient fealty and service to the nation, especially in the form of expelling the “bad”/indigneous latinos.

"Every colonized people - in other words, every people in whose soul an inferiority complex has been created by the death and burial of its local cultural originality - finds itself face to face with the language of the civilizing nation; that is, with the culture of the mother country. The colonized is elevated above his jungle status in pro- portion to his adoption of the mother country's cultural standards. He becomes whiter as he renounces his blackness, his jungle." - Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Mask.

ICE advertised a signing bonus that is way higher than anything McDonald's would give you.

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 20 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

And ICE agents have been bitching on Reddit that the money they were promised is nowhere to be seen lmao

[–] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

McDonald's doesn't have $50k signing bonuses, nor does it give you a gun and make you feel "tough."

[–] ClimateStalin@hexbear.net 14 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

ICE doesn’t give $50k signing bonuses either, going by the complaints of the goons in question

CBP doesn’t do that, never has, and never claimed to, and yet 50% of their staff are fucking kapos

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago (3 children)

i.e. people who only found out after they took the job and are probably still being strung along that they'll get it eventually if they don't quit.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago

The clause in their contract actually says they have to pay the bonus back if they quit before a couple of years

And that's the full bonus, pre-tax

Which, lol, hope you have some good savings
