1. La Apatía como Pilar de la Supremacía Blanca y el Fascismo.
La apatía es descrita no como una simple falta de interés, sino como una manifestación de privilegio y un regalo para el racismo, permitiendo que las estructuras de opresión sistémica se mantengan y fortalezcan sin oposición.
- Apathy has always been racisms best gift. Knowing something is wrong and doing nothing to stop it or even sound an alarm to protest it. This is what jim crow was and is again.
- Apathy is part of white supremacy and fascism. The privilege of people who didnt feel the issues affected them are a part of white supremacy.
- White apathy is one of the worst privileges in my opinion. The way people can just not care while other people actively oppress is just vile.
- In a systemically racist nation, apathy is a luxury black people cannot afford. Its a luxury that no one of good conscience can afford.
2. Consecuencias Políticas y el Bloque Apatético.
La indiferencia de una gran parte de la población, particularmente la blanca, es identificada como el factor clave que permite a los grupos racistas y extremistas ejercer poder, llevando al país hacia un régimen autoritario y a la pérdida de derechos.
- Without the apathetic bloc, the racist bloc would just quietly seethe instead of wield power.
- White apathy in the face of bigotry and violence resulted in america becoming an authoritarian regime.
- White people primarily voted for this, its time we fix the problems weve made. Especially since black people have already taught us how to do it with actions, words, and history.
- The apathy of the world towards black america is why nothing will ever go right for the human species. Just constant turmoil.
3. Apatía como Supervivencia vs. Apatía como Complicidad.
Se establece una distinción crucial: mientras que la apatía de la mayoría es vista como complicidad, para las comunidades oprimidas, la retirada o el cinismo pueden ser mecanismos de supervivencia o formas de protesta ante el agotamiento y la falta de apoyo.
- In this case, apathy is a survival mechanism against a system that was always stacked against black ppl. We have to examine the causes so we can correct it.
- On april 5th, protests broke out but many black americans chose to stay home. This wasnt apathy. It was a response to being unheard in movements that claim to see us. This was protest, too.
- Apathy is a bad look. It can also easily be seen as a quiet endorsement, as you might agree with the bigotry in question, but dont want the heat for vocalizing it. Kinda spineless either way.
- Nothing can be more detrimentalthan for liberals to sink into a state of apathy indifference. -mlk.
