I am just gonna say it, everyone who has been a member of Kiwifarms, or any other reactionary subculture posing as atrocity tourism has either been a part of the owner class, or a maladjusted child of those types.

The pattern of moral myopia, selective misanthropy, and extreme discompassion for anyone who aren't immediately related to them is most likely tied to the white attitude of colonizing everything they touch, and attempting to create dynastic power structures out of it.

It's always interesting to see how far they will go to scrutinize "the other" for being offended by toxic behaviour, and yet the queer people they so hate and constantly talk about as if we're the worst things in the world for a proper society, live rent free in their heads.

They frequently scrutinize queer folk for always needing financial aid to survive, and yet they subsist on the welfare of their families, or have devised surreptitious ways to extract capital from their interactions. They call it parasitism when we ask for help, but when they ask for help, it's "free speech"

They often accuse us of stealing their wealth when we unionize or campaign for social benefits, all while they/their parents make their fortunes off of the blood sweat and tears of the people they oppress. Either that or they worship those who do.

They amplify our missteps, hold us collectively responsible for every single mistake one of our own individuals make, while diminishing or even raging at our achievements and triumphs. Meanwhile, they fight amongst each other for scraps of recognition, while they constantly and cowardly evade responsibility for the mistakes their own makes.

I could go on.

The point is though, the entire idea of atrocity tourism and cringe culture is an expression of white supremacy. And it is white supremacy, because it ultimately teaches people to create and enforce hierarchies, all while blocking any feelings of sympathy and compassion forming towards anyone who happens to fall on their crosshairs. Pretty much like what you see in white boomer culture everywhere.

And if you are having any doubts about the connection between atrocity tourism and white supremacy? Guess who often ends up being targeted by it. That's right, autistic, queer and PoC folk, people who white people have historically been known to oppress and teach other cultures to oppress.

If you wanna know why I think most white "allies" like a certain pink baloon, are fake as hell and untrustworthy, this is why. I caught them and people like them mocking BIPOC folk whenever they defend themselves from the racism on the fediverse, all while treating the altercation and heated discussions like their personal circus.
