I think I said a few years ago, maybe in 2018 or 2019, that the west has gone too much in the direction of anti-racism. I can't believe how worse it got now!!!

Is it racist to be proud of your Heritage? Maybe... Is it bad? No!!

Is it racist to avoid being around people of certain race/culture? Maybe... Is it bad? No!!

Is it racist to treat "your people" differently compared to others? Yes... Is it bad? Not always!

Is it racist to throw slurs at certain people! Yes... Is it bad? ...Yeah, yeah it is... Can't defend this one... But still, pointing it out all the time won't stop racist people from using them, it'll just create more divide between normal people!!

Come on, being so anti-racist is removing most things that makes culture differences beautiful. Being unapologetically themselves!

I definitely feel something strong about how the west has become so divisive... while trying to be empathetic I guess. But too much is too much.

Have you heard the term Revolutionary Empathy? Look into it and you will see the west is going through it right now

According to an LLM I asked, here's what is said about it:

"Revolutionary Empathy" is a concept that extends beyond traditional empathy—understanding and sharing another's feelings—by applying it as a transformative, collective force for social change. It involves deeply recognizing systemic injustices, historical trauma, and structural inequalities, not just on an individual level, but as a catalyst for challenging and reshaping oppressive systems.

Rooted in social justice movements, Revolutionary Empathy calls for:

  1. Listening to marginalized voices with humility and openness.
  2. Acknowledging one’s own position within systems of power and privilege.
  3. Moving beyond passive sympathy to active solidarity and action.
  4. Building connections across differences to foster collective liberation.

The term has been used by activists, educators, and scholars to describe an empathetic stance that is politically aware, historically informed, and committed to equity. It emphasizes that true empathy in an unjust world must be radical and action-oriented—hence, "revolutionary."

Nice find. In the end it usually turns violent... and that's where we're at today it seems.
