Ok gotta talk about it.
As a Jewish historian, I fucking hate Israel in ways most probably will never be able to comprehend. I'm going to try and explain it anyways. The central creation myth of Israel is that it is Jewish, and then consequently, that Israel is a part of Jewishness. Its easy to simply state this is false, but fully comprehending this and putting it into practice in thought and deed seems rare to me.
The evil at the heart of this violence predates the recent acceleration of genocide. Israel is a colony, and more than that, an antisemitic fraud itself. After WW2, when Israel was being founded, the Jews of Europe generally did not wave goodbye to their neighbors and head to the promised land. Many were expelled from their homes. Zionism itself, as an action, was a false choice at the time. A mere excuse to place an ally in the middle east, and an excuse to complete the expulsion and destruction of the European Jew. The Zionist Jew is more than complicit in this, they actively seek the destruction and assimilation of all other Jews.
Many fail to realize, and largely because of Israel, that Jews are not inherently white, Ashkenazi, European-descended people. Our faith and culture has an immense variety that is spread all across the globe. Jewishness, in population and volume of culture, exists more so outside of Israel than within it. Israel is for a very specific kind of Jew. The kind that lets Yiddish die, that attaches themselves to European things, that makes themselves and their practices as white as possible.
And they have the nerve, the fucking belligerent GALL, to frame themselves as the necessary saviors of our people. To the Zionist, questioning Israel is to question Jewishness itself. They bake adoration for the colonial machine into their very prayers, and push them on us even as children. To *not* oppress, to *not* kill, to *not* genocide, is to invite death. This is the core of fascistic thought, of course. "Kill them before they kill us." And they KNOW this too, they really do. The truth of that irony does not matter, because as is true for all fascists, the truth itself does not matter to them. They wanted this, they wanted this even before the British saw it in their best interest to give them the land. Any excuse to RETVRN, as the neo-nazis say of Rome, or the German Empire, or whatever the fuck stupid country they want to poorly animate the corpse of. Some select Zionists even *sided with the fucking Nazis* in agreement they should abandon Europe to colonize Palestine. (Haavara Agreement)
My people have proved time and time and time again you don't need a nation state to have an enduring culture. We have protected ourselves for thousands of years without the help of these spiteful, doom-saying maniacs. I was going to post something like this on Passover, but that would be hypocritical. The state of Israel doesn't actually have shit to do with Jewishness. שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְה Vi tsu derleb ikh im shoyn tsu bagrobn. [my best translation] Hear Israel (beginning of a prayer in Hebrew) I should outlive him long enough to bury him. (an old Yiddish curse)
Free Palestine. Donate what you can, they need it right now.

I'm not Jewish, but reading some posts from Jewish people on your blog really made me reconsider my views on zionism. I believe there must be a state of Palestine and a state of Israel, and that the government of Israel should be punished for its crimes same as Hamas, but it never occurred to me that preaching for the end of Israel wouldn't make anything better, bc the there are people there, people who never wished to be in a war and don't have anywhere else to go if Israel vanishes. I know I probably sound stupid with this newly discovered enlightenment, but anyway
https://www.tumblr.com/orpheuslament/739304346444087296/may-the-state-of-israel-crash-burn-within-our this is fucked up btw
it’s literally the same as any other country on the planet. there’s a government and then there’s a people. if anti fascists actually knew how fascism worked, they’d know how much disinformation, gerrymandering, and fraud has to occur for the corruption to sink in. it’s not and has never been as simple as people voting. it runs so much deeper, and so many millions of people suffer for it. fascism only gets elected once. corruption only gets elected once. once its in, it’s in, and it’s very hard to uproot. which is why so many Israelis protest against the current government every single day. the “death to israel” chant has NEVER meant death to the government - the people who started using that, used it because they wanted death to jews. if more people who truly want better for palestinians and a two state solution did their research into shit like that, there wouldn’t need to be a revelation. humanity would just be understood. for people who claim to be the most caring, the “death to israel” crowd certainly lacks in empathy.
while it does admittedly sound silly, I am genuinely glad you were able to come to that realization and I hope you continue to educate yourself, as well as push back against the people who will try to gaslight you into continuing that antisemitic mindset from before.

thank you for your responses to the asks about desantis!! everything i've been seeing is some variation of "he's trump with a brain and can actually do everything trump was too stupid to do" which has been utterly terrifying so it was such a relief to read something about how he actually isn't as smart as people are making him out to be and can't really hold his own enough beyond his florida bubble
Honestly, DeSantis is an idiot. He just does completely predictable fascist things and he's aggressive enough about doing them that people confuse it with success or some kind of groundbreaking political strategy. He's the poster child of mediocre white man steeped in unearned privilege, but because the media and many elements of the American mainstream are eager to appoint any establishment Republican politician as the "centrist candidate" or otherwise some kind of political genius, he has benefited from a TON of undeserved hype. They did it with Trump, they'll try to do it again, and we need to be on guard for that, but... yeah.
The thing is, very little actually depended on Trump. He was there to sign laws and appoint justices/executive orders, and get his cultists to vote for Republicans. Mitch McConnell and the rest of the GOP did the actual maneuvering, and they weren't good at actually getting any laws passed via the legislative process. DeSantis, if God forbid he did get elected, isn't going to have any magical powers that Trump didn't have, or any more support from all the bad-faith elements of the Republican party and the country. And they did a lot of damage, but DeSantis isn't going to be the Ultimate God King Fascist Emperor in any special or different way. We know what fascists want to do. It's boring and it's mean and it's damaging and tediously predictable, but it's not awe-inspiring or unstoppable. Banality of evil etc., etc.
Anyway, again: Let's start pushing back on this "DeSantis is a brilliant unstoppable evil genius" narrative ASAP. It's not true by any standard of evidence you care to use, it purposefully disheartens Democrats/liberals/progressives by that same old fascist canard of "we're so powerful that you shouldn't bother fighting us, just let us win," and c'mon. The guy is a gloop of evil mayonnaise in a suit. He's so fucking uninspiring, mean, and stupid. Let's point that out.

listen the fuck up, i think (HOPE) all of yall are antifa on here, but for WHATEVER REASON, the only time y'all care about fascism is when it happens in countries you know a lot about. I'm tired of the only political shit discussed being America or some fucking western European country.
there's a very prominent neo-nazi party in georgia (WHICH MY CLASSMATE IS A PART OF????), with extreme conservative and puritan views. see the armbands and the flag in the back? that's the georgian neo-nazi symbol. don't ask me why the faces are blurred, my source for this is the nazi classmate himself, and he blurred it.
Tumblr media
brief summary of how this sorry excuse of an organization formed: they broke into a nightclub because "DANCING IS SINFUL", destroyed the club obviously, beat up everyone who was there (girls, guys, university students, bartenders, EVERYONE). where was the police, you may ask? one of them was drunk and JOINED these shitheads, the rest showed up hours later for "unrelated reasons" and pretended none of it happened. you'll see that cops doing jack shit will become a reoccurring theme in this post. this all branches from the extreme upholding of "orthodox christian values" - they're doing all this in "God's name", AND THE CHURCH SUPPORTS IT. obviously, fascism in Georgia existed even before these fucking cunts, but they're growing stronger and recruiting more people these days.
SO, WHAT PROMPTED ME TO MAKE THIS POST? these days, they've gotten more physically aggressive. here are some examples:
they asked a random guy in the streets about his opinion on fascism, when he said he doesn't like it (FUCKING OBVIOUSLY), they beat him up (the police did JACK SHIT and pretended that the part security cameras glitched out WHEN THE NAZIS LITERALLY FILMED A VIDEO OF THEM DOING IT)
they killed a dog and kept beating it after death, and they beat up cats in the street (they filmed these as a video too)
they beat up the leader of a governmental organization Girchi, which is the most progressive party we have right now (with anti-governmental, anti-russian, and antifa anarchistic ideologies)
the Girchi leader was supposed to hold a lecture about politics for kids and uni students at a summer camp thing, and the nazis ATTACKED THE CAMPSITE AND THREW STONES AT PEOPLE.
update on the first one: an armed man in civilian clothes entered his HOSPITAL ROOM, some women tried to stop him, TURNS OUT HE WAS A COP, AND NOW THE POLICE IS PRESSING CHARGES FOR "ATTACKING A POLICE OFFICER"??????
1 - They didn't know he was a cop, 2 - they didn't even attack him just tried to stop him from going to the kid's bed because he was a threat, 3 - HOW THE FUCK ELSE WOULD YOU REACT IF A STRANGER WITH A GUN ENTERED YOUR KID'S HOSPITAL ROOM AND TRIED TO GO NEAR HIM?????
anyways, this shit is scary. the nazi party is recruiting minors, like my classmate, so that if they ever get arrested, the minors will have to be released because OBVIOUSLY nobody's gonna HAVE A 14 YEAR OLD ROT IN PRISON. even if they were all adults, as i mentioned, the police don't care, because they're doing this in the name of Christianity. they're posting xenophobic, homophobic, conservative and very christian nazi bullshit so that they can make people believe that they want what's best for people, BECAUSE THEY KNOW THAT THE MAJORITY OF GEORGIA SHARES THOSE IDEOLOGIES. their name is literally "Geo National Unity" TO MAKE IT SEEM LIKE THEY'RE DOING THIS TO "HELP" US. EVEN IF THEIR IDEAS WERE MORALLY CORRECT, WHY THE FUCK AREN'T THEY BEHIND BARS FOR WHAT THEY'RE DOING??
i know I'm not the most coherent source of information, i know this just looks like a stupid rant, but this information isn't accessible in English, which means NOBODY OTHER THAN US GEORGIANS KNOWS WHATS GOING ON. the later this shit stops, the more fascists there'll be in Georgia, because no one wants to put a stop to this. cops are fucking pigs, as always.
I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS. I'M TIRED OF SEEING SWASTIKA GRAFFITI ON WALLS AND SCHOOL DESKS. I'M SICK OF FEELING THREATENED JUST BECAUSE I'M OPENLY ANTI-NAZI AND SOMEWHAT OPENLY QUEER. I'M SICK OF RELIGION BEING AN EXCUSE FOR THESE FUCKING DEGENERATES. NOBODYS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'm sorry for getting fucking emotional on a post that's supposed to be informational, but SOMEONE had to fucking say it. progressive people in non-western countries are in fucking hell, because nobody acknowledges any problems in places that doesn't concern them. anyways please fucking reblog this, for awareness and for help and what-fucking-ever. thank you for reading.

I love Greg, but if I was Tom I would have teared the bitch to pieces with my teeth if I saw him having a ball of a time with the fascists, after having agreed to go to prison for him. He did the same thing with boar on the floor and the proposal of a business open relationship afterwards. Which in retrospect is very fucking crazy. Dude had to stand in an empty pool and got pissed on, but still didn't talk because of a little 'pls 🥺' only for Greg to break-up and blackmail him. Love them, fr.
JASJAKSJAKJSAS yeah i'll be honest that hurt me too.
it's kind of crazy the way that greg reacted then compared to now and you make a good point - twice tom makes these big proposals of love and twice it's kind of thrown back in his face. this is something he's used to so it makes sense that he goes off and pelts bottles at greg. you can kind of understand tom, LOL.
but he keeps pursuing him! like a lovesick little bitch! it's so..... A. there are probably multiple reasons why greg reacts the way he does to tom at the start; 1. he thinks that's the way this world works having observed the family acting that way [tom even praises him for the blackmail, in the end greg is mostly satisfied with being treated better and respected and being given a sense of belonging. tom knows just how to seduce him right back in] 2. he's not sure, like i was when i first watched boar on the floor, just how long these kinds of gestures could and would last so he doesn't take it quite so seriously hence trying to leave after [also up to that point tom had been uh. pretty mean to him!! and he gravitates towards niceness, it's only then i guess that he managed to pluck up the courage to ask to leave bc tom had this sudden burst of kindness and greg felt like he could leave without getting Killed lol.] 3. he's just being selfish - he takes these gestures and runs with them, esp the getting out of jail free card. he's like, oh thanks! then thoughtlessly celebrates his freedom with a bunch of. dudes. anyway.
BUT THEN LATE S3-4?????!?! WTF HAPPENED HASKJASAS this bitch was like minnesotan dick got me acting unwise. "prove it" shut the hell up slut!!! tom can't even react properly cuz he's like HUH?????? i thought you didn't even like me back!!!!! and it's just so fucking fun bc it pairs up very nicely with how much tom acts like a schoolboy around greg. these mfs be acting like high school idiots and it's so entertaining. it's like i said somewhere else on a post; one of them will take steps forward while the other steps back. the nero sporus scene was greg's "oh!" moment, i think. that was the moment he was like, oh wait, this is for real? bc ever since then he's been glued to tom's side and in the latest s4 episodes been singing his song like hey hi i'm greg of tom, i'm tom's mistress, how is everybody, hi mr president did you know i love that country boy. also i am here. like he mentioned himself second!! not exactly a huge thing like botf, but it's still a gesture! just a shame tom wasn't there to see it; maybe it'll be addressed in some way in the finale or he'll bear witness to greg doing the same thing for him in kind and we'll either get a break up as a response [touche greg] or... not?? which!!!!! A but i'm kind of expecting something within the former range. but i don't think it'll be an easy decision for tom and tbh, i'll take that. it at least means greg is important to him.
something happened between s3 and 4; they became friends, the trust grew, they must have spent a lot of time together. the disgusting brothers [which atp could just be them fucking each other and calling it disgusting bc they're fucking dumb and internally homophobic] bullshit, which sounds like something some idiot frat bros would come up with. "DIGUSTIBUS" GREG U WANNA FUCK THAT SENIOR CITIZEN SO BAD IT MAKES U LOOK STUPID. like. we had tom acting like that, now it's greg's turn. the scales tipped the other way and now tom is like. whadda hell... he likes it for sure we can see it here and there. but he's taking the step back now. i just think that's interesting!
ANYWAY SORRY I MADE THIS INTO A HUGE POST LOL but the point is. i also love them fr and tom should've [redacted] whenever greg was a little unappreciative asshole.

You know, when I was younger I considered myself a communist... but then I actually paid attention to the shit communist countries did and went hmm... that's actually really shitty, fuck them
Like I didn't do some massive slide to the right, I'm still very much in favor of things like social welfare programs
So what I'm basically saying is that as someone who used to call myself a commie, I just don't get how you can be pro ussr. Cause like... the shit they did (and plenty of others) is literally what changed my mind
(I mean I get it, these people don't really care and are more interested in seeming enlightened than actually making things better, but still)
Anyway... I mean I'm an American, but unlike these idiots I realize we actually owe a lot to Ukraine for fighting russia right now. Like leaving aside being a decent human being and not thinking people should be invaded, the Ukrainian army is giving us way more value with how they use any weapons we send them than they were getting us sitting in some stockpile
The Ukrainian Army are out there protecting not only Ukraine's freedom, but all of us. Like I have the sense to see that while Ukraine is fighting for survival, their fight still protects me
I mean most of Ukraine embodies the American ideals better than plenty of Americans (especially the right wingers who crow about freedom before deepthroating putin's boot)
I don't know... basically I've been paying attention to Ukraine ever since russia invaded back in February, been following more Ukrainians and Eastern Europeans and realizing how western media totally ignored the invasion in 2014, and how much of an ass westerners have been acting like during this invasion
Fucking appeasers everywhere. I mean, I'm a pacifist, but I have the sense to see you don't just tell people to lay down and die. If we want peace, we need to give Ukraine everything it takes to force russia out. Russia's the one making war, so they're the only ones who can make peace, and they'll only do that once they're thoroughly beaten otherwise it'll just be more agreeing to humanitarian corridors and then shelling them
So yeah... basically just saw you being sick of dealing with tankies and wanted to at least let you have a message from a westerner that wasn't just a bunch of apologist bullshit. Both the right and the left come together to be morons about russia. Right likes them cause they're fascists (I mean which parties is russia always funding in the west?) and the left... so busy being stupid jackasses about how great the ussr was that they excuse the imperialism they supposedly hate
Anyway... whole lot of probably stupid words here just to basically say I'm an American and I stand with Ukraine
I hope you stay safe, and I hope we send more anti air to shoot down those fucking missiles and drones. I hope the invaders are thrown out as soon as possible and then put on trial for their war crimes
Stay safe, sorry you have to deal with western morons on top of being invaded
I really do appreciate asks like this because they are quite rare from Western Europeans and Americans contrary to Eastern Europe. It’s also really interesting to actually listen to a person’s story, so to speak, with political ideologies.
What’s funny is that even though most Ukrainians will now tell you that they are nationalistic, they hold a lot of left views, especially the young generation, me included. Here we can raise a question of what is nationalism for Ukrainians. It’s love for their country and its culture, basic need of being left alone to create a developed country, but it’s never about other cultures being worse than ours or this belief that some territories must be returned and annexed from other states.
So what I was on about… We are so very grateful for the help, both humanitarian and military aid, and probably there are more good people than bad in this world, who believe that one country cannot just invade another country for no reason, but sometimes those left-wingers are just too much. Like jokes aside, I really do struggle to see what future they want for the world. Because there is a very simple truth: if Ukraine loses and russia wins, other dictatorial regimes will understand that you can just declare a war on your neighbour and no one will give a shit.
Yeah because that’s what happened in 2014 but at that time putin wasn’t prepared to launch a full-scale invasion, the revolution happened to quickly, it took him more that 3 month to amass the troops around Ukrainian borders in 2022. Or maybe he had some sort of genius plan, who knows, but the fact is: the world didn’t react to Crimea or Donetsk and Luhansk, and before that they didn’t react to Georgia and Moldova, or before that to Ichkeria.
Also the pacifism part, I think all intelligent people are and all Ukrainians (well of course not all but you know where I’m coming from) were pacifist. Everyone here has a family story from WW2, this country suffered so much, we never start conflicts but we also love what’s ours way too deeply. I think most of us would agree that the final moment of our pacifism was Bucha, that was a point of no return. Because this is where we understood that the main aim of this war is the destruction of Ukrainian nation - not a state as an independent entity but people. They were firing at civilians for no reason other than satisfaction and that is where pacifism ends because you cannot negotiate with people whose main negotiation tactic is a bullet.
So yeah, thanks again for this ask and kind words, If you have the urge to talk more about some topics, you can always message me)

really wish my head would stop punishing me for just Existing and Being a little awkward or weird sometimes (but not really cause this is all my skewed self perception and people may not even notice i was Weird cause i wasn't really weird maybe, it's all in my head of how to behave in The Social Situation or in public, i hate being perceived cause then i overthink everything i do or say)
it makes it really hard to just enjoy moments when later i over analyze everything...and over the stupidest, smallest shit...i just wanna not worry about it anymore i'm tired i want my head to shut up
and unrelated but everything is in the shit in this stupid country like everytime i turn on the tv or check insta or twt and i heard about our president's latest move i wanna be like 'i fucking told you so' to all the idiots that voted him and now are regretting it like, did you think? having a fascist as president would make things better? yeah maybe he can't pass this or that law (yet), but the ppl who think like him feel enabled, so did you really think? minorities wouldn't suffer because of it? did you think he WOULDN'T do all the things he said he'd do? when he and the vice pres openly deny all the people that DIED in a dictatorship?
ugh
UGH
i hate everything right now and i wanna be optimistic but i'm lowkey depresso but also angry and wanna bite ankles. trying so hard not to isolate from everyone (seeing friends tomorrow so. that'll help. seeing sis yesterday helped, too, cause we can rant about these things) (but i've only been lurking online cause i feel my batteries at minus %30 percent lmfao)
anyways
unrelated again
i hope to get back to writing soon, too, i miss it

yknow, italians getting salty over breaking pasta and putting ice in wine makes a lot more sense when you recognize that they've been having nazi get-togethers yearly to mourn the 1978's deaths of 3 nazi kids. Fuck alt-right pipelines btw. Their fault the kids are dead. Meloni, a fascist and prime minister of Italy, was like,(not a literal quote btw) "Hm, this is not good for optics, but yeah lol i agree."
Let's also not discredit america's involvement in this. We're the reason they have a fascist prime minister rn. Granted, Italy's getting a lot more attention than usual over this when they've been doing it for decades, but since this is the first I've heard of it... yeah. I'll post about it. Also, we should know what america has done to prop up fascism in other countries. This shit is america's fault. Full stop.
but anyway, yeah. reject tradition because it's stupid sometimes. break pasta, put ketchup/pineapple on your pizza, and put ice in wine. enjoy shit the way you enjoy it.
also, for those of you that are missing the point, TLDR:
no, i don't actually think that getting upset over breaking pasta means you're a nazi. it's called a non sequitur.
nazi traditions bad.
kids don't deserve death just cuz they're nazis.
I think it's funny when people get salty over silly shit considering i used to get salty over breaking pasta n' other dumb shit like that.

It's always okay to waste company's time and money
Ask for a raise even if you don't think you deserve one
Never give your 100%
Be friendly with your colleagues (you're in the same boat)
Don't do things that are obviously dangerous just because "they've always done it like that" . You have the right to be safe
Always check the company's benefits
In many countries is actually illegal to get fired on the spot. Workers have rights, and if they don't they should demand them
Unionize. If you can't/don't want to at least talk with your colleagues about the problems you all are facing
You don't owe your workplace the truth about your lifestyle and your identity
5) Manifesting
Remember that is always morally right to celebrate when horrible people die
It's also always morally correct to wish for billionaires, politicians, CEOs, and dictators to die
6) Be the change
- Vote. One of the most important things you can do is to VOTE
I know politicians all look the same and it feels like compromising your ethics. But it's not like that. The only ones gaining something from your absence at the polls are the fascists!!
Spread awareness about the injustices, not only online but in your circle as well.
Donate when you can
Protest
Demand your government to take action

no but LITERALLY the other day I saw that stupid terfy post comparing women wearing makeup to hijabi women and I was like “what in the fresh fucking hell” it’s so weird how obsessed they are with policing how different women choose to dress, for whatever reasons they do it. I don’t understand how they can call themselves “feminists” while also implying that women covering their hair for religious reasons is “oppressing themselves for the male gaze” like can we take away the phrase “male gaze” from these dinkuses for like, idk, forever???? do they even know that religious head coverings in Islam are for Allah (PBUH)? I know I’m not an expert on Islam but seriously they can’t even be bothered to know the bare minimum of any culture or religion other than their own before mocking it.
and I hate how their go to is “oh those third world countries are oppressing women with their backwards Brown culture” and you can tell that’s basically what they’re saying because we all know they would never criticize the Christian fascism that’s taking over western countries, but the second people are oppressed by a religion that’s associated with brown people they alstart squawking like chickens with their ducking heads cut off.
it’s like… the act of choosing to wear a hijab IS NOT FUCKING OPPRESSION!!! AND YOU CAN TALK ABOYT THE ISSUES FACED BY MUSLIM WOMEN WITHOUT BEING FUCKING RACIST!!!!! idk, as someone whose number one focus in study in school is intersectional social theory, it just bothers me to no end how these fascist women will see a white American male senator literally ban human rights and overtly state his religion as a cause, and say nothing about it, but when a Muslim does the same thing it’s all “SAVE THE POOR BROWN WOMEN” and ik you know more about this than I do from your own perspective im just rambling about this because you’re like the only person I can ramble about this kind of stuff to since you agree and understand it. sorry if it sounds like I’m being preachy your post just reminded me of some of the shit I’ve seen and I’m just like “cool cool cool these women are totally not overt right-wing white supremacists, nope, not at all nope no way” /s
anyways ur Muslim lesboy swag is off the charts you should be given free reign to slaughter any terfs in ur vicinity /lh
OOOH BOY LILY I WAS FUMING WHEN I READ THIS BC I HATE RACIST TERFS SO MUCHH MANN (nothing against you tho dw :)!)
[I saw that stupid terfy post comparing women wearing makeup to hijabi women] dude I see that all the time and I fucking hate it bc they are NOT the same thing at all. It all comes back to them thinking that hijabs are something the patriarch created when like. No. Sure it’s been used that way occasionally but it’s not as common as they make it out to be they intentionally misrepresent it to make Muslims and hijabs look bad and it’s so infuriating.
[implying that women covering their hair for religious reasons is “oppressing themselves for the male gaze”]
GOD THIS ONE I REALLY DISLIKE bc its so clear they have no idea WHY people wear hijabs. And especially since most people who say this are white and Christian (or atheists which might be worse imo) they’re coming at this from that point of view so they have NO idea what they’re talking about when it comes to that.
[they can’t even be bothered to know the bare minimum of any culture or religion other than their own before mocking it.]
It’s because they see as Muslim as either scary terrorist or poor innocent women who need be to saved for their evil religion and country by white people, really fucking gross
[and I hate how their go to is “oh those third world countries are oppressing women with their backwards Brown culture”]
God yea, they really need to calm their white savior complex for ONCE that would be greatt
Also they claim arab countries are backwards when they don’t know shit abt them, it’s awful
Especially what you said about them never criticizing Christianity for similar views, its only bad when the “evil” brown people do it apparently. Racists fuckers.
[it’s like… the act of choosing to wear a hijab IS NOT FUCKING OPPRESSION!!! AND YOU CAN TALK ABOYT THE ISSUES FACED BY MUSLIM WOMEN WITHOUT BEING FUCKING RACIST!!!!!]
Honestly if you’re not muslim or aren’t from said countries where the issue is prevalent I’m not gonna listen to a word you fucking say bc half of the time it’ll be misinformed and or REALLY racist, yk???
Anyways no worry you weren’t being preachy! This gave me a good excuse to rant too!!
Thank you btw, my lesboy swag is indeed off the charts :)

Who wants to hear me rant about why I hate the Grimdark Trope. And why I think its stupid.
I fuckin hate Warhammer 40k
A civilization that eats itself tends to do so exponentially. But regardless of suspension of disbelief which for someone like me is shaky at best. I used to be really into the lore. But the whole grimdark bullshit eventually made me realize that it has no point. It is a pointless story that has no fun in it. Aside from technical cutouts and a type of hype that always attracts fascists and fascist enablers. It is a pointless story because of what it says. Don’t bother fighting even if you have to fight because you won’t make a difference anyways. Unless you throw away all of your humanity save for hate. Then you can be a catholic space nazi in power armor! Don’t bother trying to cooperate because aliens are either malicious and the cause of all problems or too stupid to talk to. And don’t try to bullshit your way into saying that, “ohh they’re aliens they don’t get the modicum of respect as a sapient being. As human you can’t talk to them like a human. Not so long ago we did that shit to each other. We still do it. One example of this is because we used to breed black people, my ancestors. Like literal animals. You’d take your black slave to see a veterinarian because you thought they weren’t human, they were an animal and you couldn’t talk to them like a human. And don’t get me started on this idea that human civilization can’t survive without a single fascist leader to unify them. If the Imperium were something worth fighting for and maybe if they understood what they were fighting against they would be competent but no its all massed charges and exterminatus. Plus stupid shit like not understanding technology. Battletech solved this with having few places that could actually make technology. The massed charges could be easily thwarted by a ditch with fucking pots or empty barrels in it covered in fucking turf. Exterminatus is just the imperium eating itself. Maybe they’re supposed to be some sort of mercy kill. Or maybe if they were smart they would burn every habitable world around them and make a galactic defensive line. Pull back with your population and fortify or at least do guerilla warfare. Something that the mass amount of their soldiers would excel at because most of them are probably small and poorly trained. Like the Russians during Napoleon’s Invasion. Maybe I’m missing something maybe the reason the imperium isn’t worth fighting for and such a piece of shit. Is because its inherently A fascist theocracy that doesn’t value life or tactics. Something that my own country is seemingly trying to be. With all the militias, and televangelists it seems familiar. Psychic powers can rip open a portal to basically hyperspace hell. But the imperuim has ways of making it impossible for psychics to fall the chaos of the warp. Why don't they use it for all their psychics? Now I’ve read enough about the lore as to how chaos gods are formed and let me tell you when I was A kid I was terrified about these fuckers. Especially one of them I won’t say which. Where are the good chaos gods born from the good of humanity? It happened with the Eldar with whats her name who got caged by nurgle. The other gods got eaten by slaanesh. Did the same thing happen with humanity’s good entities? Is rage, despair, and cruel ambition the only things that come out from humanity. What a stupid fucking idea what person could believe that. Even the people who have nothing in my country still use the kindness of strangers to support themselves. While the government treats them like literal vermin. For fuck’s sake telling people that human kindness is pointless is such a damaging and stupid idea. All the fruit that will bear is bitter little twats who hide and hoard stuff and are so self absorbed that they’re the only one worth anything. Seems a bit like the Elongated Muskrat. Pull your head out of your ass or I’ll be happy to send it through your back end.

Is the Republican Party Soft on Fascism?
Is the Republican Party Soft
on Fascism?
Stephen Jay Morris
6/5/2022
©Scientific Morality
Let’s start from the beginning, shall we? It was the year of our Lord, 1854. There was a coalition of various groups like the defunct “Whig Party,” the “Free Soil Party,” and the racist group, the “Native America Party,” aka: “The Know Nothing Party.” Note: The reason they were called, “The Know Nothings” was because whenever there was a terrorist attack, like a fire-bombed, Catholic church, they would answer police investigators’ questions with, “I know nothing about the firebombing.” That nickname could be applied to today's Republicans. Most of the rank and file members have low I.Q.s and know nothing about anything!
Let’s get something straight: Abraham Lincoln was not a true Republican. He joined the party to run against a Democratic candidate. It was for political strategy. Matter of fact, like George Washington, he despised political parties. Lincoln, in today’s Right wing slang, was pretty “woke.” Oh, one more thing...Lincoln had pen pals. Guess who his favorite was? Karl Marx. I told you he was woke.
Okay—we are now up to date. And today’s Republican Party? Very unstable. The upper echelon of the party are like fugitives hiding in safe houses known as Country Clubs. Initially, they were willing to let the White, working class, protestants in. Now, they regret it, as the patients are starting to take over the asylum. The rich Republicans erroneously figured that superstitious Christians would be perfect for class engineering; i.e.: as they got richer and richer, the poor would be told to pray to Jesus if they wanted their next meal. This is exactly the type of shit done in the Dark Ages.
The loud mouths of the party, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, do not even know what the fuck Fascism is, and yet, they advocate it. Recently, while spewing some garbage on Social Media about how the government is monitoring people and the type of meat they are eating, MTG totally missed the term “petri dish” by claiming that Bill Gates is growing meat in a “peach tree dish,” instead. More recently, a clip of her January 6th testimony revealed her substitution of the word “flagrantly” with “fragrantly” to describe the way in which defendants’ rights had been allegedly violated. For decades now, Conservatives have been advocating “Anti-Intellectualism;” well, she is a glaring and blatant example of it! Unsurprisingly, most Right wing sexists don’t mind her; she mirrors the “Stupid Blonde” persona; albeit, a much more dangerous one. 1950’s actresses Judy Holiday and Marilyn Monroe often played such a role. A “stupid blonde” would fire up the Conservative libido. “Teach me how to make love, daddy!” “Oh yeah, daddy will show you!” Baarrrff!!!!!!
So why do paleo-conservatives hate intellectuals, anyway? Certainly, not because they are advocating Left wing propaganda! It’s because objective truth discredits them. The biggest threat to the Right is not so-called “Leftism;” it is Objectivity. Conservatism goes against common sense or basic logic. So when they say, “The New York Times is Left wing,” they mean the material is too objective. The newspaper gives them negative press, but not because they are trying to destroy the Republican Party; they just fuck up way more than the Democrats do! Last year, The New York Times reported relentlessly about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Democrat. They took him down because of his alleged sexual misdeeds. So, is the New York Times Leftist? Well—is the pope Jewish?
Starting in the late 40’s, the Republican Party, along with other conservative scum bags called Democrats, went soft on Communism. This prevailed all through the Cold War. Now, high ranking Republicans are calling the Democratic Party “Communists” and “Socialists.” Yeah, sure they are. A lot of progressive Leftists are calling the Republican Party, “Fascists.” Well, they’re not, really—although, the real Fascists have gotten their foot in the door. The Democrats kept the real Communists out of their party starting way back in the 1930’s. Do you think rich Liberals would let Commies into their party? Do you think Rich Conservatives are going to let Nazis into their’s?
The only legislation the GOP is actuating is legalizing guns for blind people. Otherwise, except for WASPs who own oil wells, the GOP hasn’t done shit for the American people! This latest incarnation of the Republican Party has not exactly put the party in a state of catalepsy. The leadership has to change its membership from illimitable to exclusionary with a happy face. The central committee must exercise discretion and entropy to fix their party. The biggest mistake the party did was not giving the war against Fascism—otherwise known as World War 11—their vigorous support. Nowadays, the MAGA crowd is comprised of anti-Fascist, Fascist groups. So, are anti-Communists really Communists? That’s anti-intellectualism for you. Here is quote for all of you:
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.” ―Benito Mussolini 1932
I used to know this woman who was a Chud. She did this officious thing, which was so fucking condescending! It was solicitous advice that made me crawl up the wall! It went like this: “If I was on the Left, I would do this and I would do that.” Well, with this, I turn the tables on her and say: “If I was on the Republican National Committee (RNC), I would put out a press release denouncing Fascism, white supremacy, and Christian Nationalism. If you don’t do that soon, the Libertarian Party, or maybe the American Christian Party will replace you. Who knows?”
Don’t be soft on fascism!

I truly think the leftists forgot that Republicans got so far because THEY PLAY DIRTY. Did they forget the fiasco that was Bush v Al Gore? Forget all the racist BS Obama had to undergo and the many obstructions Republicans did to limit his power (Now I'm wondering if this wave of 'Roe v Wade being overturned was Obama's fault' from leftists was started by racist conservatives to divert attention. Hmmm)? Forget Trump's coup attempt?!?!?!?!?!? Republicans don't play by the rules.
I mean, we've established the fact that they struggle with basic reality and relevant political analysis of any type, especially if it involves actually blaming the Republicans for anything without finding a way to make it secretly be the Democrats' fault, so.... yeah. A lot of the early-twenties Twitter clout chasers are too young to remember Bush v. Gore, want to paint Obama solely as a "corporate centrist," and therefore act like that was the only reason his policies were so relentlessly obstructed and gave rise to the Tea Party and the rest of the white grievance backlash. We've also established that they're constantly vulnerable to right-wing psyops and bad-faith disinformation campaigns such as "not voting is a good thing and Hillary should be punished!", which was pushed HARD by the Russian-troll social media interference machine in 2016. It worked because certain segments of self-righteous leftists were predisposed to believe it anyway, and it exacerbated and increased their existing rhetoric. The right-wing slime machine is unparalleled at turning leftists and liberals against each other and knowing which weaknesses to exploit, for the precise reason so they don't get their shit together and vote in a consistent and organized fashion to stop the fascists. Welp.
This is likewise why it's a fucking stupid idea for Biden to make any deal with McConnell and actually think that Mitch will hold to his end of the bargain; he simply does not give a shit about honor, truth, precedent, previous statements, previous actions, or anything except seizing and consolidating Republican power as relentlessly as possible. Even if Biden does go through with this rumored nomination of an anti-abortion judge in Kentucky in order to buy off McConnell's opposition (and he's evidently only getting two US Attorneys for it, which is not a good trade for a lifetime federal judgeship), there's no reason to think that McConnell would honor the deal. He simply does not care what he said to you earlier; it was just a stopgap on his way to getting what he wanted. He will lie to your face and take as much as possible, and the Democrats, while they are a whole lot wiser to his game than they used to be, are still beholden to the fatuous idea that the American public really wants "bipartisanship." Obama tried it even after the Republicans made clear they would spit in his face every time; by the time he realized there was no working with them, he had lost Congress and it was too late to do anything but executive orders anyway. Biden has managed to get a few more bipartisan bills through the Senate, because he spent decades there and the old-school Republicans know him (and besides, he's an old white guy, so they don't have to look like they're doing the brown guy's bidding), but it's still an extremely one-sided relationship. It's infuriating to watch Biden mouth hoary cliches about Bipartisanship and act like the Republicans can be negotiated with in good faith, while they shamelessly fleece him for whatever they can get. Because as I said in an earlier post, he is too stuck in his past thinking and still believes there are "good people on both sides of the aisle" who genuinely have the political process and the country's best interests at heart. I would say, uh, no.
By now, Democrats know that Republicans can't be trusted and Republicans don't care about what anybody thinks except for God King Donald Trump. They have long ago given up trying to win a free and fair election on the merits of their ideas; they know that their ideas are total shit, toxically unpopular, and only benefit a tiny fraction of the most privileged white men in all of America. That's why they have turned so enthusiastically to attempting to rig elections, restrict voting rights, and pack the judiciary with partisan hacks. They don't give a shit what the average American wants, they don't want elections or politicians that reflect what's best for said average American, they don't believe in democracy, and they don't believe in going through a fair competition if it means they might lose. Cheating has been a fundamental part of their playbook for a while, and now it's become the only thing as they continue their jackbooted march to fascist authoritarianism. But, as ever, good luck getting the proud denizens of Cloud Cuckoo Leftist Land to understand that.

I can’t stand when people criticize my problems they never cared about until it affected them, or give me quick fixes. But I don’t know what exactly to think or say, and so they go one thinking they’re not hurting anyone.
I’ve lost control of my thoughts
I’ve lost control of my body
I’ve lost control of memory
My dreams, my everything
And most times it feels like it’s all going to die with me; and I’ll be remembered as a problem who didn’t try hard enough and brought down good, selfless people.
Today it feels like a stupid itch that stays and pesters me, until I scratch so hard I’m in pain. All the while, I don’t get sympathy, just glares and remarks and silence. And the itch resurfaces.
She said I’d been banging the cabinet doors loud enough to be heard upstairs. I opened the cabinet, closed it in a manner appropriate for 2 am, and filled my glass for at least 20 seconds before she came down to get attention. That ugly ass face all screwed up — all of the oil in the world couldn’t save you from the fine lines coming your way. I’m never alone when I need to be. Fucking grown adult getting upset over stupid things. And you want to act like you’re going places, meanwhile I’m not? I hope she becomes so sick that she can’t talk or move. No more noise. Obviously, I’m not wishing anyone death, I’m not awful (but she is and deserves punishment, not an easy way out).
We’ve done this so many times before.
I bet moments of silence are as familiar to you as birthdays, and both lose their value the more they happen / you celebrate .
Heartbreak is realizing I’ve strayed from the picture books read in my mother’s voice.
And the sting was learning that winning doesn’t make it over
When church bells ring and shoulders cave, you still hit the ground
I don’t want to go to college.
The world, and especially this country, is falling apart. It may be convenient to say that rhetoric is fear mongering. But already there are fascist militias on the rise, global warming will and is worsening food shortages. Now people are warning about the power grid failing, and given how many power outages we’ve had in the past year (mainly in summer), the threat seems more eminent. I live in a forest, I should be learning how to utilize it. I’ve had back and neck pain since my early teens, made worse by sitting or standing for long durations. My eyesight has gotten worse. I hardly remember anything from high school. I can’t focus for the life of me without it hurting my head. I don’t want to go back to an institution that conflates my worth with numbers and percentages. I don’t want to give years preparing for a life I’ll hate. They all will be disappointed in me anyway, but my parents are convinced this is necessary, and will bring me out of my shell if I talk to someone about my interests. I’ve told them explicitly that I don’t have interests. I haven’t left the house in years. With every extracurricular I had, I swore I was going to make a career out of it. Because I was only allowed one at a time, it didn’t leave much room to simply be a child and make discoveries. I felt bad when I quit, like I’d wasted their money and time. They won’t admit it but they’ve let me know. And despite all this, they expect gold stars for letting me have extracurriculares growing up, because that’s where the bar is set, right?
My sister is the school bully I never had. She inserts her self into any situation, and that’s bound to happen more with college related issues I face. She make anything an excuse to ridicule my intellect, ability, looks, and place in life. She’s done it before, even loud enough so our parents hear it, but they do absolutely nothing. This behavior has been developing for as long as I can remember. But rather than nip it in the bud, my parents yelled an punished both of us for our ‘spats’. And now there’s a sociopath/narcissist/whatever in the house 24/7, free to do anything without consequence. As a result, I’ve grown to hate the sound of knocking and I’m very conscious of how I walk and even talk; generally how I exist in a shared space, but that doesn’t stop me from beating myself up in private over any little thing. I’m tired of reminding myself I don’t deserve this when it’s 3 to 1, and no one’s in my corner. I’m tired of pretending things are fine when everything is falling apart, both externally and internally. I already feel dull and like a shell of a person, but also dirty. In my experience, people would rather turn away than try to understand. I don’t want to be in another place where I will be judged. I don’t want to have that out in the open for people to criticize and immediately forget. Nothing is going right, and to everyone else that’s just how I am, ‘God help them’.
When the world ends, will I drift on in the cold emptiness of space? Am I supposed to behave like nothing’s wrong here as well?
I am shapeless
I am sucked in and spat back out
If life gave me a pattern, it’s long been skinned away — as I keel over, naked, covered with my hands and clenched jaw.
With nothing in hand to show, their tongues lashing to a false witness — they have been stripped, too. The preen and pomp themselves as minds of the future, while they decay, walled off from the pulsing wilderness. If their souls are still intact, I’m sure the flesh cries, and not in union with the chiseled steel they eagerly genuflect to.
Leila is a college-age girl with no sense of direction or personhood, who has fallen behind every milestone possible. Despite this, she is pressured by her parents into enrolling in college to “explore her interests”, using her sketching hobby as a way to coax her. Constantly being reminded that she isn’t acting her age and struggling with a regressive memory (and intrusive thoughts?) has left her a deep guilt she doesn’t think she deserves to complain about. Spending day after day in her house is made more difficult by Leila’s older sister, who takes every opportunity to ridicule her. The sister drives in the nail the hardest when it comes to Leila’s memory. Their parents are aware of the rift between them, but tend to put the blame on both the girls or frame the sister’s hostility as tough love.
Fear of the unknown and consequence is muddled when Leila finally snaps(?). The road ahead is a story of community, will, and learning to open up and be seen.
American Horror Story but it’s Jennifer Coolidge:
(pan up) “Surprise, dumbass. I bet you thought you’d seen the last of me.”
When I was a child, I touched my mother’s straightening iron while it was on. I didn’t understand why, but I was in pain and it seemed unfair. Time passed, and though things have changed, they circled back to the starting point. I still don’t know why I’m in pain, and why it’s allowed.
In the words of that bitch, Taylor Swift — hey flop, we’ll get to you later — “it’s time to go”. (…)
