racism analysis 

this is also one of the things that Pisses Me Off when americans dismiss all of western europe out of hand as basically the same colonialist powers nonsense

anecdotally: i am (among other things) finnish. finland today has....a lot of good things going on, according to outside observers. an overwhelming majority of americans will claim this is because finns, being white, benefited from imperialism

finns were never even Included in the definition of whiteness, in europe

racism analysis? 

one of the obvious ones (to me) is how racism/whiteness is fundamentally different things in different places. in the us it's primarily a skin colour thing, whereas in many european countries it tends to be more of a nationalism thing

this is, of course, because the concept of 'whiteness' is used in the same way in both places, but in western europe the oppressors and the oppressed often have....about the same skin colour

thinkin about the concept of kyriarchy n how it's a v useful term but doesn't actually account for regional variance in terms of how axes of oppression intersect different (and sometimes are just different axes) in different places

@fluxom_alt hey ur pretty rad urself don't undervalue ur own inherent awesomeness

@fluxom_alt look the core premise is there's a bunch of humanoid-ish monsters who literally engage in lethal combat with people in order to acquire their cool hats ok

lethal combat that's not actually all that lethal bc they're p much impossible to kill and honestly tend to just be too nice to actually murder folks
