William Frank Jr., born on this day in 1931, was an indigenous environmental leader and treaty rights activist known for his use of the “fish-in”, a civil disobedience tactic used to win indigenous rights to natural resources.
A Nisqually tribal member, Frank is particularly known for his grassroots campaign for fishing rights on the tribe’s Nisqually River. Frank was arrested more than 50 times in the “Fish Wars” of the 1960s and 1970s because of his intense dedication to the treaty fishing rights cause.
The tribal struggle was taken to the courts in “U.S. v. Washington”, with federal judge George Hugo Boldt issuing a ruling in favor of the native tribes in 1974. The “Boldt Decision” established the 20 treaty Indian tribes in western Washington as co-managers of the salmon resource with the State of Washington, and re-affirmed tribal rights to half of the harvestable salmon returning to western Washington.
I hope you nerds have a great March. 
Remember no crackers
How many white “leftists” are basically just this guy? Community service… unless you’re brown, then I will murder you
It’s for the college money though so you can die happy!
Probably somewhere from a majority to a supermajority, judging by how many of them are invading my feed turning this dead murderer into some kind of victim. “But but but he was only an IT specialist!!!” Literal Nuremberg trial defense attorney type shit. One wonders how they find time to say this shit when they’re so busy calling genocide victims literally Hitler for hurting white Jewish feelings
what do they think an IT specialist does in a military? literally “I just turn up the ovens I killed no one”
If Hitler had stuck to just killing nonwhites liberals would be calling Nazi Germany a “flawed democracy”
At this point, I wonder if they would even be calling it flawed
This legitimately pissed me tf off when I first saw it because I just KNOW that the shitlibs and chuds are now going to use this guy to do even more apologism for the US military, ad infinitum ad nauseam, just like they do with the “poverty draft” and “they were innocent smol beans who didn’t know what they were doing!” The fact that this guy signed up to kill brown people abroad is never even going to set in for so many people. This shit makes me so mad omg
they were innocent smol beans who didn’t know what they were doing!
“Uhh I didn’t know the military was for killing people” who tf do these pricks think they’re fooling?
poverty draft
Funny how this same sympathy isn’t extended to robbers and thieves who kill far less people
“Uhh look he was just a kid once” yeah so was everyone who has ever lived and ever will live, who cares?
“Uhh but he did community service” yeah the white supremacist death squad member? Remind me why I should care. What if Hitler did trash cleanup as a kid?
Funny how this same sympathy isn’t extended to robbers and thieves who kill far less people
I never really thought about it before but that’s a good point. I guess the fact that the military’s crimes are largely committed abroad rather than domestically is justification enough to worship them
“I break into people’s homes with weapons, threaten their families and rob their place, but the people are brown so it’s okay”
NY Post when anyone suggests helping the homeless
NY Post when it can use helping the homeless to make war criminals look like good people
Gotta wonder what “helping homeless youth” meant considering he jumped straight from that to murdering brown children. “You can’t kill our combatants after we bomb your country, that’s terrorism!”
lol @ bringing up him being in boy scouts as if I should care what this dipshit did before getting owned. He killed 200 kids and if Iran hadn’t stopped him he’d have killed 200 more.
I hope it was long, I hope he had time to piss and shit himself before it was over.
Hope this doesn’t start another
, the only thing the resident crackers here love more than whitewashing war criminals is Ziohran Copdani.
Boy Scouts has always been a funnel into the military, that was its original founding purpose - to train boys to be ready for military service. That’s why it’s directly integrated into the US state, Eagle Scouts get automatic promotions upon enlisting. This was set up like a century ago.
Seems obvious on the face of it, and if that wasn’t enough even a cursory look at the history of scouting - just read what Baden-Powell wrote about it himself - would reveal it for what it is. And yet mentioning this to certain white “leftists” causes incredible levels of offense as if I’m personally destroying their childhood.
“But but but it’s just a fun outdoorsy program and all the flag stuff was just on the side!” Funny statement because former members of the hitler youth said the exact same thing almost word-for-word. Apparently it’s not indoctrination unless you’re being tied down to a chair and forced to watch Mel Gibson’s The Patriot on loop for 250 hours.
Womp womp. Wonder if there are community service opportunities in hell
I would simply not serve in the army of the 4th Reich but I guess I’m just built different
dead eagle scout who helped homeless youth was a member of a violent white supremacist organisation
A real “Der Sturmer article memorializing dead concentration camp guards with childhood Hitlerjugend photos” moment
Just because my place of worship host events for the idf and fundraises for the Idf and does birthrites for isreal and teaches kids to feel the strongly for isreal and sells land in the place being colonized doesn’t mean we are guilty parties in the genocide

Huh, guess that was all it took to set the local hwytes off howling about the savage muslamics attacking the enlightened west
WTF
Just cracker things
Sometimes I’m glad I miss some of the big struggle sessions
When will people understand that saying things like “Real men respect women” or “Real men aren’t afraid to show their emotions” is just “woke” toxic masculinity
We have gotten to a point where I see people, especially in the Black community, saying shit like “abusing and disrespecting women is what a feminine man does” or calling awful, sexist men “DL” as some sort of a corollary to this kind of shit
you’re actually gay if you’re homophobic type beat
this site is still not beating the liberal zionist allegations
It never will since most white users are that.
it won’t get fixed until the mods get purged which is never going to happen because of the jewish supremacists on the admin/mod team
What’s even more frustrating is they’re not even Jewish themselves. All of the mods who threw a shitfit during the “Holocaust emoji” struggle session are non-Jews getting upset on Jewish users’ behalf. The actual Jews who use this site were all on-board having a burning Israeli flag emoji.
Another case of Whitey insisting he be the leader at the forefront to demonstrate his “allyship.” I swear to God the Autobiography of Malcolm X should be required reading (Malcolm was complaining about the same shit 60+ years ago).
White “guilt” over the holocaust as a unique evil (who cares about all the other genocides that came before and after that one they weren’t white victims) makes them jump the gun everytime.
Yep. During the whole star of david debacle only after days and several members complaining did they demote the zionist mod who sent death threats to muslim/arab members and only after more time did they ban them.
Sheez, this site does not give a fuck about their non-white members
But that’s honestly like saying grass is green at this point.
Gotta start using this
emoji a lot to make up for the absence of vegeta :'(

Not a single Jewish person died in the zionist synagogue attack and we’ll never hear the end of how innocent children shouldn’t be harmed but the 160 murdered Iranian children is old news.
Also the synagogue organized funding events for israel, its not crazy to point out that someone grieving for his families death will blame an institution closely related to the country that killed his family
Also the synagogue organized funding events for israel
Always got to leave that part out of the discourse because ??? I saw some of the early replies saying that he shouldn’t have attacked a synagogue, but if its providing material support to the entity then it is a legitimate target. Fuck any and all institutions that prop up “Israel”.
material support for the entity committing a genocide scot free?
The man responsible for the attack posted on instagram pics of family members he lost in Lebanon in an israeli attack including young children but somehow people will say israel is needed for the safety of jews and not the main reason for antisemitism.
Precisely, you’ve hammered on the nail why I feel numb to anyone who cries antisemitism, regarding this stuff.
It unironically seems to me the Zionist West has believed in this finger nail quote (CW: Anti-Palestinian genocidal rhetoric by Kach)
Islamophobia after 9/11 was my precursor into international politics and leftism. I see myself more aligned to that cause as a Black person than antisemitism.
There’s a reason most colonized countries side with Palestine while most colonizer countries either play both sides or side with israel.
At the end of the day, Zionism has almost completely infiltrated every single Western Jewish institution of note, which means almost every single Western Jewish institution of note simultaneously exists as a Zionist institution. Various WANA commentators have repeatedly warned that if righteous God-fearing anti-Zionist Jews do not expel Zionists and Zionism from their synagogues and communities by any means necessary, the job will have to fall on the lap of non-Jews instead. And unlike observant Jews, non-Jews will not be as thoughtful towards Jewish religious sensitivities when the Zionists are being forcefully expelled from their communities.
The U.S. foreign bases aren’t there to protect the people of any nation or even their ruling classes, they’re there to proctect investments.
The recent news of Cuba made me think of Haiti and how it was basically the Cuba of that era with the US being just as obsessed with crushing them.
Found this old screenshot. It was when my rizz level has reached 999 billionNew struggle session just dropped, can’t wait to see crackers banning pocs for sectarianism or whatever https://hexbear.net/post/7930622
“Bruh why do poc leftists bat so hard for other poc who are also victims and targets of racist aggression and oppression when they don’t share our views smh btw I’m def not racist but I only support poc who pass my moral purity test” sounding ass. It’s almost like liberation is for ALL and not just the ones that share our views. And people call themselves leftists let alone marxists.
minuteoir being the goat as always
The fucker that made that thread is a mod in here, wtf Lmao
@thelastaxolotl, do you know maybe why there’s a textbook case of a national chauvinist on the mod team of this comm? Can you do anything about it?
Nah she are an older mod than me, but the admins did site ban her and that autoremove her position
yippee
Why am I not at all surprised?
This mod and anyone who upvoted should be banned
Awesome, love having to reaffirm a core pillar of leftism in my favorite leftist website.
Never ceases to amaze me how little consideration people here can have for historical, material, and dialectical analysis when it comes to POC matters on this site. We could point out how bad gusanos, comprados, etc, etc are and they’ll still talk about “blind support”. And, of course, the example given is an anti-LGBTQ policy. As many comrades in this thread have said before, for them whiteness come before anything.
“Marxists” on hexbear disregarding dialectical materialism??? I’ll pretend to be shocked.
And yes ofc the main argument present was the big bad brown muslims oppressing the poor white queers in the US lmao
I really don’t understand what’s so fucking difficult about it, either.
For example, I am not a woman or queer. There are comms here where people from those groups talk about the issues they face. I recognize I’m going to have blind spots due to my cishet male privilege. Whenever I see them complaining about men or straights or cis people, I know they are venting in generalizations, not me specifically. I know I can offer sympathy, but not necessarily advice. I know especially not to argue, again, because of the blind spots due to my privilege. I know to believe what they say and accept they are coming from a position of good faith, not trolls posting rage bait or karma farming.
So why then is this so fucking difficult for white people from these groups to give the same considerations to PoC? Why is it whenever PoC make complaints they get defensive? I don’t encounter this problem when talking about the other group I belong to, the disabled. The only conclusions I can draw are exactly what’s been said: they are white above all else, especially above leftism.
A lot of immigrants I know are from work and they were rich in their home country and are able to be upper class here. I’m talking 7 figure homes and investment properties. Some make the same as I do and their income is used for savings or investment while I use mine to survive off of.
I told them if layoffs are coming, give my name instead because my citizenship isn’t tied to my employment. If ICE were to do some sweeps, I’d fight to get them free.
I despise their capitalist sympathy but respect their unstable status.
honky talk on my hexbear?!?! crazy thing is half of that shit in the post isn’t even true of the gusanos that come from other countries like wtf i’ve never heard anyone from the african diaspora complain about wokeness, but hey whatever cracker talk is needed to put down poc
Even worse. She’s a BBC (British-born Chinese) (?) lol. You could kinda tell because she tries to exclude the Chinese diaspora from some of her “critiques.”
Legit I cannot think of an african immigrant being anti-woke like white repubs are.
To be fair, my diehard Catholic grandparents from the Caribbean definitely give this vibe, but honestly, they’re also very myopic people and do not seem to engage in critical thinking very much, at least when it comes to politics.
yeah i have catholic family too but their bigotry is of the “gay not okay” not some overarching fear of the woke bogeyman that’s try to destroy our society
Fr, most of the arguments I’ve ever heard or had with migrant pocs are what cuisine/seasoning is better or football
Jesus fucking Christ

Crab raving every time I hear of a US serviceman biting it
John Brown’s final words.
The atrocities the wesst commits are unforgivable and I hope Iran survives this war.
got me like:
White people with a marginalized identity always seem to think their marginalized identity cancels out their whiteness when, no, in some cases, it just makes them even more smug and insufferable.
It’s even worse when their “marginalized” identities aren’t actually marginalized. Like “Italian”-Americans pretending to be oppressed in the year of our lord 2026. And other cases too, but getting too much into detail would probably set off another cracker meltdown on this site
Yep, that shit’s fucking absurd, and it also plays a primary role into why people validate the Zionist entity. Trust no honky to be anything before a honky.
Incredibly telling that the second a genocide victim gets too uppity every resident cracker on this site immediately goes into “not all men” mode and plays the entire deck of “anti-white racism” cards. Acceptability of genocide isn’t predicated on whether people who share the same religion as the perpetrators support it or not.
In an ideal world every cracker who sees the murdered people of Gaza and whose first concern is about antisemitism would be permabanned. Instead we get months of frothing rage demanding the POC on this site do a song and dance to satisfy the political sensibilities of a super special group of whites. Incidentally this is why the crackers here love Ziohran Mamdani so much, because he does the song and dance. (Yes I know not all Jews are white, but this is an American site so just look at the demographics for the US. Supermajority white and for all intents and purposes functions the same as any other group of whites in the US). Sick and tired of crackers here trotting out POC Jews as props for some kind of “gotcha”)
Imagine if half the discussion of the holocaust on this site was concerned with how it made the Germans look bad. Would the local whites lecture an Auschwitz prisoner who says they want to kill Germans to watch their tongue? My guess is it would depend on their skin tone.
Seems like we have an infestation of “anti-white racism” types that are too cowardly to outright say it so they make it about “antisemitism on the left” instead. Plus, it comes with the bonus of being able to sicc an angry white mob at any POC who steps out of line! Really reminds me of the “genocide denier” accusation tossed out at anybody who questioned the “Uyghur genocide” narrative. Taking something that used to have meaning and turning it into an unfalsifiable moral buzzword.
How dialectical of them to act like a victimized Arab saying “Curse on the Jews” is no different than Richard Spencer saying Jews are undermining the West through “cultural Marxism”
/sarcasm
There’s been neighborhood drama for me I haven’t talked about here because it’s an ongoing court case. It involves a bunch of scratched libs victimizing themselves. Whole thing has been deeply unserious. Like no, you’re all just asshole white people.
I’d say in most cases tbh
So tired of white westerners telling me “
the problem is humans/religion actually”No. Fuck you. YOU are the problem. The Native Americans who suffered genocide and systematic extermination were not the problem, the Arabs who faced a century of occupation and suffering were not the problem, the Latin Americans who suffered under fascist dictatorships backed by the west weren’t the problem. The Iranians/Palestinians who die en masse today are not the problem, and neither are the workers in sweatshops in overexploited countries.
IMPERIALISM AND CAPITALISM are the problem. Don’t speak for me or the global majority who suffered, stop projecting the crimes of the west on us.
White “marxists” will shit on poc marxists who might be religious (but not fundamentalists or bigots) cause “how can you have a dialectical material (based) worldview yet believe in a god?” as if it’s impossible for humans to be complex and even hold conflicting beliefs harder then they do on racist atheist/agnostic “marxists”. Only about 2 in every million white people will ever be meaningful allies to us, any poc.
EDIT: And yes, organized religions can be and often are extremely reactionary and need to be dealt with, what I mean in this comment specifically is individual beliefs of your average joe who might just be culturally religious even not entire systems who support capitalism and oppression and need to be abolished for once and for all. Alienating a worker cause they’re religious is alienating the vast majority of the global south, whether white leftists wanna acknowledge that or not. Only then can we have actual talks about religion and the harm it can bring and how to best deal with it in an effective way that won’t backfire or create a backlash.
