When a person of color, especially if they're black like me, affirms their support for causes such as queer liberation, feminism, animal rights, or socialism, I immediately feel that I can believe, with minimal doubt, that they're truly convicted and principled in what they're advocating for.

However, when a white person claims to support leftism, until my skepticism is proven wrong, I immediately assume they're a dishonest and performative libshit. I then proceed to interact with them with hefty amounts of caution. If my assumptions are proven true, I'm never shocked.

Correct. Plantation owner will not let them see that the west is evil. Imperialism is abstract without this. They still think of their country, western country, Japan as «good». The western countries and the western system will always be defended. The views change when it affected them. They will not destroy it.

I think also that they like to believe something to be seen. It is an imitation of the liberal politician. Views do not have meaning because the system does not change.

I do not know any white people, but this is what I have seen on the internet.
