Seriously, all this fucking thinking in and of one's race and race to the bottom who's more a victim because of their ancestry - it's so damn absurd, so distorted, and at the same time it's more Third Reich ideology than anything ever seen before in the modern days outside of newer reincarnations of Social Darwinism.

I don't think I put it together in that way, that having a racial identity, even if it is a minority racial identity, is exactly as bad as the Third Reich or White Supremacy - same for ethnic or nationalist identity - for the Left to embrace minority identities is simply the mirror image of the Right embracing the majority identity.

It's that what I think of regarding this modern mumbo jumbo where everyone is pissed at everyone just for "wrongs" (imagined and factual ones) that they associate to their "racial" identity. - The only kind of people that talks about "race" all day long, why one "race" supposedly is less worth than another or deserves whatever kind of treatment, and which even fights with other people over this aspect to begin with, that's the brownshirts. No-one else.

It's a big reason why I get my strong doubts about the Western "leftists" even be allowed to call themselves like that.
Because this has nothing to do with the core thinking of leftism.
(Rather with a perverted version of what leftsm supposedly "is" that Westerners were made to believe in.)
