    I just wish I had a connection to a history. I’m a product of white supremacy accomplishing it’s goals. I have zero connection to my ancestors. I have no idea where I came from and neither do my parents. (Can’t ask them anyway. Not in contact). It fucking sucks ass.

      Do you know anything about your ancestors beyond your parents? Pretty easy to do family history research just on your computer using findagrave or familysearch, both free. And of course contacting local historical societies once you get some names/dates. I’m one quarter Lebanese but the most interesting of my ancestors (including from a left wing perspective) have been the Germans. You might be surprised at what you find.

        Going on one if them sites to see the vigorous history of Johann Gargleshitgietzballscrackermayo, the most famous of my ancestors from Bumblefük Switzerland, known for his excellent life of fish guts removal and dying of super herpaghonnasyphilaids, the black death, super cancer, and being executed by the duke for wearing his clogs wrong

      History and legacy is for people that have it

      White “”““people””“” have none and deserve to have none. Just be like me, a fellow whitoid and make our own history of badposts and furry smut from the ground up !

      You have connection to history as anyone else, there is nobody who is more and less historied. Moreover, even the idea of having a localized identity which may or may not be institutionally robust that used to highlight a regional socio-cultural and historical presence disintegrated in most of the world already and everyone exists in the permanent global present which has its own culture and subculture. Everyone looks for authenticity in this and some people are just more romanticized and some larp more than others, which depends entirely on their relation to permanent global present and not any genuine history that’s somehow more real than others.
