Some people have to understand that “land back” isn’t just “uhhh the colonizers stop being mean to the people being slaughtered by them”. Land back means land BACK. As in the land goes back to the people who lived there before it was taken from them by force. Land back is NOT “the fighting stops but the colonizers get to keep all the land”, it’s “the native people get their land back”. If you don’t support the native people of an area getting their land back, if you expect them to be happy living as a minority in their own land, or living under apartheid and peril in their own land, or not being allowed to live in their own land, then you don’t believe in land back.

Like, it’s right there in the name! The colonizers just give the land back to the people they took it from. That’s land back! So don’t say you support land back while also saying that the colonizers deserve the stolen land.

This is very different from what I normally post but I ask that you don’t just scroll past.

A couple months ago, the war in my home country started again after three years of silence. I say war because that’s what news outlets called it, but there was no return of fighting from our side. Instead, innocent people were hurt, killed, martyred, and displaced from their homes after 8 months of blockade, which prevented the supply of food, water, and medical supplies, effectively starving innocents. It’s for this that Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh ended up being alerted on the official genocide watch.

Still, months later, the 120,000 people displaced in this ethnic cleansing from the region remain without housing, proper financial aid, or any resources to help them.

The following are funds and charities you can check out to help.

Armenian food bank

Kooyrigs Artsakh Armenian Housing Development Fund

Even if you can’t donate, reposting goes a long way. Thank you if you took the time to read all this.

I have to say this: the education on fascism in American education is largely limited to "Germans in 1940s." And the settler hatred and right wing extremism we are surrounded by, growing up in my privilege felt invisible as water to a fish. The first cracks in the limited America centric blinders however into international awareness came from relationship: learning about Chiapas and the Zapatistas from my ex, from my friend's education on Armenia and refugees.

It started to click in my brain because researching the situation on Instagram, even on pictures of natural landscapes or other posts not even about the genocide, you would see these accounts with the most hateful vile dehumanizing language - Azeri. And out of the American context and programming it was easier to see that for what it is, baseless aggression towards Indigenous people based on insecurity. And how insane, how strange and baseless it was. I had to block and report and argue with a few of the trolls just from commenting something harmless on an Armenian's post.

Then a few months later - that aggression erupted into white phosphorus bombs. I did not respond in the way that Palestine has been responded to, or much at all. There was less on the ground reporting but that's not really an excuse for how little the waves of pain hit me, how invisibilized Artsakh occupation and land grab was and emotionally unattended to. I was still in my own bubble of settled misery.

It's easier to share content about Palestine because there is so much content made. And the visibility is so high that propaganda can't counter it. In contrast my friend had to put in a lot of work to educate me and most people around them about Armenian history. I regret that. And the resistance and ignorance I exhibited. And I regret coming so late to awareness of colonialism's tangled roots and the history and work of resistance and persistence of indigenous peoples. However it was that particular encounter with the Azeri hatred which laid the tracks for understanding my friend, and also for this further and intense assault on Palestine. Which was already in my proximal awareness but I am ashamed to say, never fully awakened by relationships with real people here.

And meanwhile, happening, and now, people are speaking up about the Congo. About Sudan. About Tigray. About extraction and assault and bombing and execution and horrors and violence which can scarcely be out to words. About the freedom they want for their people and the immense load of pain they have been carrying for far too long as refugees, as colonized people fleeing their own lands.

About these I know even less.

And I do not think it is wise to pretend to know more. I have been called in for posturing or getting ahead of my self in ignorance, of the heart of the movement which is care for and being in community with the people who are caretakers of the land and/or doing the work of survival and fighting colonial oppression and repression.

So what I have to say from where I stand is: the future is coming. If you do not know the survivors of this generation you do not know how strong they are, and their vision of the future. Beyond all the trauma and the need for care and support, this strength is not arguable. The ancestors are with people now.

There will be a future and Armenians, Palestinians, all of these nations will be in it. I choose to believe that, believe in them but not to hope for it because there is an absolute chasm of work to be done, reconciliation and listening and conceding and fighting. And hope can let us get off easy. No, but the work is joyous if you surrender to it.

Do not lose heart, do not be afraid to sacrifice and do not lose yourself in fear, guilt and doubt. They are a maze I've been lost in for years. And only finding my way out through the hands of these friends, having done harm and been corrected in it, witnessing the meaning of pain but also spirit, of God, of joy of true undying Love. This is what revolution is and requires is a total eclipse and regeneration of the heart, the ego, the mind.

I have only taken the first baby step but already despite the horrors laid out before us, the future is glimmering. The evils of settler colonial rabid fury are stains on the world that cannot be washed out. Every second they are allowed to persist kills the collective soul of humanity. Especially the souls of those of us complicit in settler states. We must release our fears, and fall in line with the call for reparation and return.

And our time is running thin but i do believe it is here. The road ahead is very dark, very brutal and very long. But we have the strength to walk it side by side because we must. Or stand aside.

The horrible thing is no one even cares about the killings of Armenians. When all the native Armenians were forced out of artsakh not even a month ago, nobody cared. When artsakh was closed off from the world forcibly and the people there starved for almost a year, nobody cared. I feel like I’m going insane. Schools burned, young men were decapitated, hundreds of children declared “missing”…aka they could not be identified. And it’s like nobody cares. Why? Why does nobody talk about Armenia? My friends think I’m overbearing and talk about it too much. They don’t tell me, but I can see the looks on their faces when I bring it up. They look like they want to say here she goes again. But if I don’t talk about it who will?

Nobody talked about Artsakh. Nobody cared enough. And when the native Armenians were forced out, the world didn’t bat an eye.

In other news, I’m officially going to start going by my actual new name. When I figured out I was trans, I picked an English name so that it would be easy for my friends to pronounce. But it was a stupid thing to do. I want to be loudly Armenian. I need to be loudly Armenian. I’m going to go by my Armenian chosen name.

excuse me but where was the world community when turkey bombed southeast turkey the last few years and killed a lot of kurds? where was the world community when turkey bombed hospitals and schools in rojava and killed children and old people? where was the world community when turkey bombed iraq and syria and killed people and left the rest with no electricity and water? where was the world community when turkey bombed refugee camps in iraq and syria and killed people? where was the world community when azerbaijan attacked and invaded artsakh and people had to flee and leave their homes? tell me where was the world community, especially the muslim community? 80% of the kurds are muslims, so where is the support??

Jan 26th is International Day of Action where the federal lawsuit hearing of Palestine VS Biden will take place with the goal of a permanent ceasefire and it's so so important that we do what we can to amplify the impact of this. The link is for a google doc that details ways to take action, resources, and wheatpasting posters/tutorials. End the genocide NOW 🇵🇸🍉

Tankies are now blithely engaging in Holocaust inversion, claiming that the idea that European antisemitism *wasn't* limited solely to the Shoah is a "myth", and claiming that the idea that there was indeed antisemitism in SWANA before Zionism was a "myth".

Facts:

- both Christian Europe and Muslim/Arab SWANA were massively antisemitic for over a thousand years, and this had nothing to do with and was not caused by Zionism

-- the Umayyads were actually the ones who invented the "Yellow Badge" usually associated with the NSDAP

-- there were pogroms, oppression, massacres, supression, and forced conversion of Jews up and down Europe and SWANA for thousands of years

- The Holocaust/Shoah was not the reason Israel was created (see: founders of Zionism in 1830s; Dreyfus Affair)

- "Zionist" as a label was used by Stalin to repurpose NSDAP antisemitic propaganda for his own purposes, and this is generally how tankies use it today.

- in addition to the European imperial powers, the Ottoman Empire\Turkey shares a lot of the blame for how the region currently is

- that this region had a large Arab population at all is also a result of colonialism, namely by the Caliphates

- there are other supressed native peoples in SWANA, for example the Amazigh, Assyrians, Armenians, native Egyptians, Kurds, Druze, Mandeans, and others. People who purport to be anti colonialism should also care about them.

- none of this justifies Israel, its racist government and leaders, and its current and continuing campaigns against civilians who have not participated in Hamas' violence

I know that you’re sick of this cruel, dark world.

But even when I feel discouraged, I’m still going to keep fighting to make this world less dark and more peaceful, however I can.

I won’t give up. All the atrocities in this world motivate me to keep going.

I might start blocking people atp. The amount of you I see reblogging or posting saying “uhhh well actually we shouldn’t be mean to Israel because hamas :(“ is disgusting. When you say land back you have to mean it. You would let all of Armenia go to Azerbaijan. You would rather play nice with governments committing genocide than actually fucking side with the victims of genocide. And I don't want to hear these bullshit arguments when I cry myself to sleep wondering if my country will exist tomorrow, wondering if I'll wake up and all that will be left of Armenia will be an empty crater and cheering Azerbaijani soldiers.

Sickening. Fucking sickening. I hope Palestine gets ALL its land back.

I am so sick of scrolling by reports of babies being thrown in fires, sobbing fathers pulling their families out of rubble, hospitals bombed without reason, Israeli soldiers posting tiktoks in front of the houses they bombed. And THEN having to scroll past your shit take about how Israel and Palestine are equally in the wrong.

Fuck you. Genuinely, fuck you.
