Adventures in the Patriarchy™: Anti-ICE Karens Gone Wild! Part XXII

Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — inclusively defined as the legacy kind and the transgender individuals — from the Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

‘Put yo’ fight on’

This rare subspecies of anti-ICE Karen — who evidently attended urban public school, much to her detriment — is encouraging her TikTok audience, in nails-on-chalkboard ebonics, to exert their “white bodily privilege” by brawling with ICE officers in the street.

White people, stop running from this… Put yo’ f***ing fists up. Put yo’ fight on. Put yo’ fighting face on. Start standing up for justice da real way: street justice… Start smacking these ICE officers… We need to start beating other white people up.

There’s a crass term for this phenomenon — an individual of the Caucasian persuasion who has spent an inordinate amount of time steeped in urban culture and, as a consequence, has become confused about their ethnic identity — that I’ve been informed by my intrepid PJ Media editors that I am prohibited from using, as it runs afoul of our high editorial standards as a respected media property of Salem.

What’s unsettling about this performance that comes off as a glitch in the matrix — in the same way that there’s something subtly off with AI-generated slop that one perhaps can’t even put one’s finger on but which nonetheless leaves an uneasy feeling in one’s stomach — is that this specimen presents as a walking, talking contradiction of incongruous elements.

On one hand, she speaks and looks as if she works part-time at Wendy’s and, in her off-time, accumulates biracial children from multiple baby daddies. If you pulled up at a Wendy’s drive-through speaker and were greeted by that voice — “Whatchu want, fries wit dat?” —  and then pulled around to the window and saw her face, everything would feel right as rain. The carpet would match the drapes, as it were (not in a sexual way).

On the other hand, at the same time that all sociological indicators would suggest that the extent of her education is a GED at best, she also throws in Social Justice™ jargon like “white bodily privilege” that is typically absorbed and parroted by university students. She also uses terms like “legislation,” “legality,” and “perpetuate” that you would be unlikely to hear from a Wendy’s employee with knuckle tattoos.

On that note, I would also be remiss not to include a word on the knuckle tattoo, which comes into frame at the 20-second mark and appears to say “15,” which I assume signifies one of her baby daddy’s gang affiliations or something to that effect.

In my view, finger tattoos might be as much of a red flag as face tattoos.

As a caveat and acknowledgment of my potential hypocrisy, I have a lot of tattoos (none on my face or hands, however). I regret none of them, although some that I got in my late teens or early twenties, I probably wouldn’t get again.

Everyone is a “special unique snowflake full of special unique specialness,” as Tyler Durden observed in Fight Club, and I have chosen in the past to express my special unique specialness with tattoos.

Some people don’t approve of tattoos at all, anywhere on the body, no matter how tasteful, and that’s fine.

With that said, where I gladly join in solidarity with my anti-tattoo brothers and sisters is: please, no hands, no neck, no face tattoos.

While it’s possible these will be normalized in the future in the same way that tattoos on other parts of the body have been normalized in recent history, tattoos in these sensitive areas are very rarely, if ever, aesthetically pleasing, scream “poor life choices,” and diminish one’s credibility.

To that point, even if I were sympathetic to the ideology, I simply can’t take anti-ICE Karens with urban accents and knuckle tattoos seriously when they try to educate me on TikTok about “white privilege.”
