โItโs capitalismโs fault that I canโt just buy a fucking Android phone. Capitalism itself points a gun at me and forces me to buy the most overpriced, overrated, and poorly constructed piece of shit hardware ever conceived because despite my espoused principles Iโm blinded by brand loyalty.โย
Words cannot describe how much I Hate Communists from the bottom of my heart.
BTW this may be a great activism strategy. take large amounts of perishables sold by Israeli/Israel-supporting companies and abandon or dispose of them so they have to be thrown out. hopefully, the stores will have to stop selling products of those companies.
It's really interesting the difference between how people act when you talk about racism vs antisemitism.
Like when I've talked about racism that I face as an arab as well as talk to other poc about racism and even non poc about racism, people always are ready to jump in with their thoughts and have a proper conversation.
However when I talk about antisemitism, unless it's with other jews, most people just act uncomfortable and the conversation never goes anywhere. This is both pre and post Oct 7th.
And like, antisemitism inherently isn't anymore of an uncomfortable topic than racism. It just makes me wonder why.
Is it because antisemitism is less socially acceptable to talk about? Is it because there just aren't a lot of jews where I live so often it's people's first conversation about antisemitism? Is it because the people I'm talking to are closet antisemites?
I don't even know which answer would be the "good" answer.
The inability to discuss stuff like this with people i know irl just makes me feel so lonely offline.
in this terrifying world you continuously have the power to offer someone else a little relief . why would you withhold that. do you remember what a little relief feels like? it feels like a lot
By the way. While many people are now cheering for Iran for attacking Israel, people who like to think of themselves as a spokesperson for justice. Do you still remember Mahsa Amini? Or any of the other countless women in Iran killed, or living in fear, or fighting for freedom? Do you all have short memory, or do you just refuse to acknowledge who it is you're supporting as long as they keep killing Jewish people?
This is a rhetorical question. I do not want an answer. I want you to take a hard look in the mirror and think about what you're doing.
Rafah was being bombed while white people were watching the Super Bowl and Israel payed for an anti Palestine superbowl commercial.
Let that sink in.
Significantly more than just white people watched the Superbowl, the Commercial wasn't anti-palestine (it wasn't even only pro-israel), oh and yeah,
The world doesn't need to stop just because something bad is happening. It didn't stop with Ukraine, or China genociding the Uyghurs (I think that's how you spell it), or for the Armenian Genocide, or or or or. It's not gonna stop because a war is happening between Israel and Palestine.
Stop acting like it needs to. You weren't this outraged that people loved their lives when Hamas butchered Israeli's, so stop being so performative Hun.
This is a callout post for users plaidos, lesbianchemicalplant, and zebrabyopn3 (and more) for perpetuating harassment and mass reporting campaigns, falsely branding people as TERFs, and reblogging from/being mutuals with self-admitted pedophiles (and racists):
I just wanted to make this post to warn yall about it, I am not a tech genius but I wanted to get a vpn and surfshark was one I knew about so i subscribed to them because it seemed ok, that was where I fucked up.
fast forward a year and now I am trying to cancel my yearly auto-renewing subscription which costs 70 fuckin bucks, didnt find much use in surfshark as it was too laggy when using its vpn services so i go to billing and try to cancel.
there was no cancel button so that was odd, and you cant turn off auto-renew so i figure ill just get rid of my card info so it cant charge me.
i cant or at least i cant figure out how.
I go to help and find the cancellation area after scrolling past why you should keep the subscription and it tells me to contact their live support to cancel, It requires my name and gmail, I know for a fact my gmail is correct but it says its wrong and that my name is wrong no matter how many ways I enter it and I cant find a possible username anywhere on the site i could use. Its for all practical reasons impossible for me to cancel, not just the fact I cant even talk to customer support, but the people on reddit that do, talk to a bot and then the agents take months to actually turn off the subscription so it charges again and there is no refunds.
