    One of my biggest “epiphany” moments that led me to becoming a communist was realising that the “white man’s burden” rhetoric never went away, it just got cleaned up and modernised.

        It is really frustrating to see it everywhere and have everyone around you just…not notice. Politicians will say the most blatantly racist shit, but because they say it in a “civil” way, no one notices.

      The parallels between “DPRK must be invaded to give its people freedom” and the traditional white man’s burden hit me like a train once I became a communist.
