I often see mentions of the disunity in the left and it being a real show stopper for achieving anything meaningful. Whats your take on that and also do you have any reasons(experiences, arguments etc) for that?

What I don’t understand is what some people would want me to do about it.
I understand what you’re saying now, but I’m not sure what the call to action is.
Change the lens with which you frame your position in the world from “I am a white person” to “I am a person who racists claim to be white”.
It’s a very subtle and subjective change and I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve already done it.
Great, so a second person complaining about someone calling themselves white without suggestion as to what souls be changed.
I think you’re just racist against white people.
because that is really dependend on your context and location. whiteness is differently constructed and maintained in different places and what you should / can do also is different.
One starting point for inspiration might be [email protected], another one might be just talking with someone irl about this
I dont think this is helpful for anyone and I dont get why you would say that to someone, especially someone who from my perspective tried to engage with you in good faith
This can’t be a real suggestion.
Is a little frustrating talking about this as so far, people have either said that in a colonizer or not tell me how this issue can be resolved.
So far it just sounds like complaining about something with offering a solution.
