What I'm about to say may seem abnormal for this environment, but compared to the rest of the journals I've seen, it's in no way out of line of what's accepted on this website.

You're not special because you cling to political groups and ideology. We all need to eat and drink, we all love and laugh, and we all cry and fear things. Everyone is human, no matter what they believe in. In a perfect world, we'd all hold hands in a land of plenty. It's normal to have disagreements, minor ones such as favorite food or song, or extreme ones such as tax policy or nationality. However, it's important we all remain civil when we do disagree, because nobody likes feeling bad or being hurt. This being said, I have much disagreement with the general viewpoints the vocal minority hold here on FA.

All week I've been seeing other artists and users make posts demanding me to support BLM and/or Antifa, or unfollow them because that makes me "racist" to not support them.

If learning I don't believe in the same things as you ruins your echo chamber, then feel free to block me since you can't handle reality. You probably should stop eating since eating anything other than your mom's breast milk is cultural appropriation.


Now, if you haven't just blocked me, let me explain why I despise these groups:

I hate antifa because they're a terrorist organization, they've even been federally declared so by the US government. Everyone has the right to an opinion, including fascists. If you believe it's okay to kill someone for what they believe in, then they're justified in killing you first in self defense. While they claim to hate fascists, the majority of the people harmed by them have been from every other spectrum, including Andy Ngo the gay journalist. Killing people over ideology is an evil thing to do, and the only reason antifa hasn't killed more people despite dozens of terrorist attacks is due to sheer incompetence. Those who associate with this group support terrorism, and if you're willing to kill innocent people for an ideology, then understand you'd best be willing to die for it too.

I don't like the group "Black Lives Matter" on an egalitarian basis. BLM holds many double standards, firstly that they don't care about black on black crime. If black lives DO matter to BLM, then they'd try to stop gang violence and domestic abuse that runs rampant in the black community, and kills far more yearly than any cop or imaginary lynch mob that's out to kill african americans. Secondly, the police do absolutely abuse their power and get away with murder. However, BLM only cares when it's black people that are murdered to police, and often defend people that were justly shot in self defense. Police do murder tons of people, but statistics show it's because they like killing, not because they're racist. Lastly, and the reason most personal to me, is that they're racially supremacist (which is racist). I don't know how many times I've heard "kill all white people" and other phrases that are obviously genocidal in nature. If you're white and you hear black people say that, and you're not taking them seriously because you think they can't, that's just your own bigotry of low expectations at play, and you need to stop seeing black people as inferior. Blacks are just as capable as any other race, and not taking them seriously is both dehumanizing to them, but also making them see themselves as less because you're not taking them seriously. Racial supremacy is evil and dangerous, no matter whether it's white supremacy or black supremacy. They're both just as capable at murdering innocent people.

Furthermore, these protests have turned into riots where innocent people from every ideological faction are being hurt and killed. From business owners and onlookers, to activists and police. Once people start killing each other for a revolution, there's no going back. There is justification for protesting the establishment, but once you're okay with hurting people who have nothing to do with any of this, then you're automatically the villain, and should be stopped.

Most of the black people I know hate BLM because of this ideology, and the only way to true equality is by caring for one another.
