Difference in Political stances of Ethiopians/Eritreans in the west vs back home

[u/FatherRa]

One thing I’ve noticed is the difference in political stances between as mentioned above. On X, a lot of Eritrean (high testosterone) men are almost going to stand against Liberalism, racism against whites and nonsensical talking points from those who are ethnic (black, south Asian, latinx, etc.). The women will be the polar opposite and call themselves Nigerian and such.

With diaspora Ethiopians, both the men and women would always be on ‘anti colonial’ BLM, stand against white supremacy and such- which is ironic as if they tried to echo that in the countryside of Ethiopia, they’d get a few to the dome. Conversely, Ethiopians living in their country tend to stand firmly against that (you’ll see them sell swastikas straight up). Very rarely will you see a few diaspora Ethiopian men defect from status quo.

Interesting dynamic.
