    eightyprovinces asked: White, yes but I resent it. Cishet, yes but I resent it. Able, debatable. And yet I know many Canadians who see their nation as a utopia and Americans as akin to abused puppies who are oppresed and treated like objects.


    Answer:

    What the fuck are you even talking about?  Why would you resent being white and cishet?  And don’t fucking get “debatable” about disability with me, a bitch in a wheelchair and in poverty, close to eviction.  Either identify, or don’t.  Your language has been highly ableist, so I’m skeptical of your bullshit already.  Don’t cry white tears, USE YOUR PRIVILEGE TO HELP OTHERS.  EDUCATE YOURSELF.  FUCKING GOOGLE.  Christ.

    Utopia literally means no where.  It doesn’t exist.  The term was coined by an English Catholic who wrote a shitty book about a shitty society with slavery on a shitty little island.  Stay away from the word.  Get off this white theoretical crack.  I guarantee you the people who sing Canada’s praises as you claim are fucking white cishet ableds.  Because a few people love it, Native children being ripped from their home and Natives beaten up by the RCMP is okay?  It’s okay that people can’t get the treatment  or medicines they need?  It’s okay that brown kids get stabbed on university campuses?  Fuck you.  You’re here to stir up shit, and you’re not doing very well.  You are spitting in the faces of people in both countries who are being oppressed.  Come back here again, and I’ll verbally eviscerate you for every person of colour, disabled person, person facing religious discrimination, LGBTQIA individual, and woman you’ve been a dick to.
