It's still crazy to me that reactionaries think democrats were on BLM's side when many democrats somehow felt the need to speak up against BLM rather than do the easier thing of just shutting up
Ugh. There's two of those in the lemmygrad mirror of this post and god it's too early in the morning for me to be explaining to cacs why their stance is untrustworthy at best
This pyramid is...strange. I'm probably reading it wrong, but it seems to imply that assault and injury cause less lost work and "time injury(??)" than things like bullying. Is this some kind of cost/benefit analysis, where they've worked out it is more efficient for an employee to just break their leg and be out of work for a month than lose an hour or two of work every day due to poor morale from bullying?
I think it's "these things lead to lost work", but idk for certain. See below for the actual matrix, which isn't preoccupied for lost work hours and instead illustrates how violence exists/escalates within a community
Can anyone educate me on what Spiritual Bypassing is, and how it relates to White Supremacy? I'm from a quite secular place, so I can't say that I often experience people even being spiritual at all, so this is a blind spot for me. I Googled it, but could only find vague explanations on using Spiritualism to dismiss things. I'm aware of all the other concepts, so figure I might as well educate myself on the one I'm not aware of.
One example is plastic shamans, white people appropriating deep shamanistic/indigenous belief systems into a typically grifting and very shallow new age style framework. Another good example is what's happened with ayahuasca spiritual practices becoming mere vision tourism.
I'd add one more thing I've learned from Asian twitter accounts:
When intervening in an altercation between an Asian person and someone who isn't (usually white), the white person restrains the Asian person (even as they're still in the middle of being attacked) or only intervenes when the Asian person stands up for themselves.
I wasn't sure if I should mention this as it sounds close to white silence, but in the event of a fight where an Asian person is being restrained while they're still being attacked this is worse than merely being silent.
For a second I thought that you were talking about an actual physical altercation.
I am talking about a physical altercation; there are videos uploaded of white people supposedly trying to break up fights but only holding back the Asian person while they're (the Asian person) being physically attacked.
