First, let me clarify. The concept of someone being a "race traitor" is inherently a fascist concept. It was used by the Nazis to call Germans who fought against the Nazis as traitors to the "Ayran race" and it is still used today by neo-Nazi groups and groups such as the Ku Klux Klan to call out white leftists as traitors to the "white race." Biological race does not exist. The genetic diversity between humans is far lower than the average genetic diversity of other mammals. The differences control arbitrary things like the shape of your eyes, the colour of your skin, and your resistance to tropical diseases. Biological race does not exist. Race is a social construct created for racists and fascists to justify their oppression. So when I hear leftists on GenZedong calling some asian guy an "honorary white" or "race traitor" (although the person who did that got called out and apologised/edited their comment) it frankly disgusts me. People do not owe a duty to their race. The idea that they do is literally a fascist concept. The minute people start accusing others of being "race traitors," they are spouting fascist bullshit. Because again, **people do not inherently owe a duty to their race.** r/GenZedong, despite me generally liking it, delves too close time and time again to fascist racial bullshit. One person is talking about the concept of a Hanjian as betraying "the Han State" which is is just Han chauvinism supported by a bunch of sinophiles. People are confusing fights for emancipation with chauvinist fascist bullshit. This is what happens when people entirely ignore the class character of this sort of shit in favour of race reductionist bullshit. When people are too concerned with crackers and not enough about the class conflict and its enforcement of systematic racism and imperialism, preferring instead to blame it on "crackers" as though the average Joe the Miner is supporting the War on Terror because it's part of his evil plan to destroy Muslims and not because he's been fed bullshit by racist right-wing media. This isn't to say racism and imperialism aren't issues, but that they are part of the greater class conflict. Is Barack Obama an "Uncle Tom" or a "Race Traitor?" No, because he doesn't owe servitude to his "race." He serves his class, the bourgeoisie. Candace Owens isn't a race traitor, because she doesn't owe servitude to her race, she serves as a token black lady who's job is to give right-wing outlets like TPUSA and Pragur U credibility. Race reductionism is fucking stupid. The concept of people "betraying their race" is fucking stupid. It's an argument made by skinheads for skinheads and the fact people are so caught up in their rabid anti-cracker campaigning to realise they're gobbling down literal fascist arguments is fucking astounding to me.

Regarding the Mass Ban Wave on r/CoolAmericaFacts

Appears the creator is an anarchist and is going full authoritarianism and banning "tankies" and people active on r/GenZedong, so I just wanted to remind everyone that this sub (community, or whatever they're called on Lemmy) isn't in anyway affiliated with the mod team from Reddit and from the start I intended to keep it that way, in fact, the only reason I know about the ban wave is because I just got hit by it. The reason I made this "thing" is because I disagreed with some of their policies and had a suspicion that they would soon start purging MLs like myself. Not much else to add. Enjoy your cool America maymays here on Lemmygrad.

Welcome!

Cool America Facts is a place to learn about imperialism and capitalist atrocities not often talked about, but in meme format! I really liked r/coolamericafacts, and since there wasn't one on here I figured I'd make it. I'll start by posting a bunch of the memes I myself made, but everyone should feel free to post their memes too!
