We can rejoice and be critical at the same time. Hindi naman sila dichotomous. Medyo off lang for me na parang people antagonize ‘yung other people who rejoice with the election result.
It’s still a win for the pandemic response, climate action, immigrants, native American, African American, Latino/a, and Asian communities who are victims of racial oppression.
Yes, we are rejoicing as of now but to equate celebration to forgetting is wrong. I’m pretty sure there are people and organizations who remain critical and who have not forgotten about America’s war crimes, colonialism, and imperialism in formerly colonized countries.
Okay, but then again nga I am in a position of privilege bec being here is privilege in itself. So ‘yun, valid arguments naman on their end, but I guess medyo off lang in a way for me ‘yung kuyog and dismissive culture
