As a white man, I have never been attacked for my identity by fellow leftists. If anything, right wingers have attacked me for it more when they cry and call me a race traitor.

I think there is some merit to young white boys hearing all this hatred toward white men without knowing why it’s occurring. I feel like a lot of teenage boys problems with feminism is monkey brain “you hate me specifically for no reason” knee-jerk response to “i hate all men” statements. They then grow into adults who refuse to learn better. It’s important to try to intercept them at rhe “i hate all men” statements

I will note that as a leftist formerly very involved in activist spaces I have actually been excluded because I am a white man. A girl who had beef with me decided to start a rumor about me and that got me kicked out of all my orgs and my gf left me even though there wasn’t a lick of evidence whatsoever. I doubt that would’ve happened if I wasn’t white.

Good for you. I on the other hand, have been attacked and shot at. I don’t care what your politics are, judging people by their gender or skin color doesn’t help your case.

However, I do 100% still believe that white ppl befit from systemic racism and my experience and others like it are not excuses to support fascism. I’m still a leftist I just don’t engage in the same spaces I used to. Just a word of warning.
