@ohmellyeah: Dean and Parker are not Malcolm and Martin bro. Be careful what you allow these people to put in your head and heart. You can’t follow everybody. #fypシ゚viral #fypシ
I think you nailed it. We white people have a hollow epigenetic background in this area because of what many of our ancestors did.

Facts on facts on facts. I’m the first liberal/leftist in my family. A lot of my yt friends are also the first in their families. As for Dean, you hit the nail on the head. It’s all about the gotcha. That’s why whenever we’re in the streets marching, he and Parker are on live debating. They haven’t put any skin in the game.

As a first generation liberal white person and blue dot, I agree with much of what you said. And I agree that Dean and Parker are not the leaders we need right now. But personally, I don’t see them as leaders, I see them as kids trying to reach other kids in their age group with similar backgrounds, modeling themselves (somewhat) after Kirk. Dean also knew Kirk personally, and Parker was present at the Kirk event. I think it’s fair to have some kind of response when you know the individual personally. And since (whether they want to admit it or not) they probably see themselves becoming the liberal versions of Kirk over the next decade, seeing Kirk get shot makes them think - what if? So a reaction of some kind is fair for kids to have. That said - even before yesterday - I agree they aren’t the leaders we need right now. I also don’t think they’re being followed the way you seem to. They’re entertaining, but I certainly don’t take my lead from them…

White liberal checking in to say YES MAAM! I don’t have the fire in my belly like others. I want to do the work but I know that I cannot be the face, I’m just the support system. I wish I had that fire but I don’t have the history or life experience that would create that flame.

They cannot understand how deep this runs. Dean basically crumbled because so many of his followers are not mourning.

I truly hope we’re heading towards the end of debate culture from here, cause all they did was waste everyone’s time while chasing that bag.

We are unproven, have no resilience. We have not built generational community to be our support structures and our mentors. Intentions: 10. Experience: 3. Stamina: 1.

White liberal female here, I really like your message! I hate all this fear based society and how they aim to control us through it. Wolves hide in sheep clothing EVERYWHERE!

They’re more focused on their future political careers when they hit the age than they are being actual movement makers. Where’s the starting foundations? Types of legislation that they want to create? Where’s the action of the debates?. All the money gathering, the “gotcha”, the making sure to show empathy, recognizable face, being young men capable of showing emotion which gets many women to support etc. it’s to be “palatable” across the board.

One of the worst thing the democratic party did was align with rich white liberals. They are so far removed from reality and they hijack every movement and event and make it about themselves. This is white supremacy also. In many if not most cases these issues are a matter of life and death for working class and poor people

I thought this same thing about Ezra Klein’s mask off op-Ed on Kirk. It was all just word games for him. Ezra lost a debate partner. And he’s sad about it. He doesn’t love anyone who he sees as being affected by the stochastic terrorism Kirk spread. It was an intellectual exercise all along. No one “real” to Klein was ever being hurt. Just game pieces on the board of his favorite game of “public intellectual.”

We are constantly deconstructing. The lifelong indoctrination takes so much time and effort. You are correct. Also, it is comforting to fall back on our yt privilege

Yes. My parents are maga, I had to stop talking to them. A lot of us white folks are struggling to break ties with family and friends. There could be some leaders but it’s going to be more rare because we’ve been raised to be quiet, keep the peace, let grandma have her views, we can agree to disagree and so on. Some of us are done with that crap and need to get mad and break ties. White people are in crisis honestly. That anger is where a lot of us need to be so that we start a new and get away from racism. So many of us were born in it and didint have someone to tell us we had privilege. Keep working with white folks trying to get away from this crap, some of us are going it without family now.
