Some of the notes in that one post about gen z and cults going around: “I would start a cult but I don’t have money 😔” “lol new heavens gate here we come” “aren‘t fandoms cults already lol”

Me, a tired cult survivor: you have no idea what you’re talking about. shut tf up.

[pickledbaklava]

seriously.

everytime i ssee a "join thhe ___ cult uwu" i have a fuckijg stroke

stop. please.

[crownquill]

also the posts about Gen Z having a cult boom are 100% true

and its partially bc no one litsens to cult survivors

no one takes us seriously when we say stop normalizing this shit

and now no one knows the actual signs

we think we’re safe from cults. we think its a thing of the past

when you hear cult you think of blood rituals and shit on tv right? well the one I was in was on a fucking google classroom

so learn the fucking signs and stay aware for goodness sake holy shit

[arengnera]

The best thing you can do for yourself is be aware when you're joining a new group, and maintain contact with your friends outside it.

Cults will always try to isolate you from them, and they keep you in by cutting you off from an outside support network.

Here's an article about how cults are defined through modes of control (the BITE model) please at least skim it.

[crreature]

say it louder

[crreature]

somehow this post made it to terfs and transphobes who think this means “men who think they’re women are a harmful to women” or “identifying as nonbinary is harmful to [binary] trans people” etc. which is NOT WHAT IT MEANS. the poster of the tweet is nonbinary and trans, and i am nonbinary and trans (and trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary identities are valid, etc). 

This tweet means that trans identities and pronouns are valid and should be talked about as such. Language matters. I don’t “identify as nonbinary,” I AM nonbinary. I don’t “prefer they/them pronouns,” they/them ARE my pronouns. “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.

[gracelingwithpoisewithoutgrace]

To reiterate: “Identify as” and “prefer” leave room for doubt and debate, and trans identities are not up for debate.

reminder that palestinians have once again been subjected to violence during the olive harvest, leaving many trees damaged and/or completely destroyed. b’tselem report here.

if you’re able, please join me in donating an olive tree sapling to attempt to repair some of the damage done over the last 70 years.

[faerieantoinette]

a few more organisations:

zaytoun (linked above) – donate 3 year old olive tree saplings via the palestinian fair trade association (pfta) to olive farmers in jenin, nablus, and salfeet. £8 provides 1 tree, £21 provides 5 trees.

muslim global relief – at the £20 level: “With £20 we can gift one olive tree to a family in Palestine, Gaza. Once an olive tree has reached maturity, it can become a life-long source of olives and olive oil. Families can sell or trade the surplus olives and olive oil to buy other foods and needful items. Last year, MGR gifted 50 olive trees to Gazan farmers and families who’d lost their olive orchards to conflict.”

land of canaan foundation – options to donate to trees for life (also sponsored by PFTA) for olive and almond trees, pollinator project (providing beehives to palestinian farmers,) CSA palestine, and regenerative agriculature initiatives.

al-mustafa welfare trust – £10 plants 1 olive tree in gaza.

I cannot imagine what the actual legal argument is for slapping a felony on a trans healthcare provider, ESPECIALLY when they’re consulting patients that are OVER the legal age of 18.

The state wants to control everyone’s bodies. Smash the state.

Not you defending North Korea 🤡

almost every single shocking story about North Korea you have ever read (if not all of them) was either made up wholesale or sourced from North Korean defectors. these defectors are paid ludicrous sums of money by the South Korean government for their testimony, but that cash flow gets cut off if the defector comes across as even slightly sympathetic to their home country, which obviously leads to stories that make NK look good getting buried and stories that make them look bad getting spread to American media, regardless of how obviously fake they are, since anyone who questions them is obviously a fascist apologist who wants the world to get nuked.

i’m sure you already know this since you know so much about North Korea, but the US bombed almost the entire fucking country off the map and still holds annual military drills with South Korea in preparation to do it again right on the border as an intimidation attempt. if you can be cognizant of both of these facts and still take stories about officials being fed to 120 starving dogs at face value, you might be a fucking idiot

[determinate-negation]

this documentary with interviews with north korean defectors whose experiences dont fit into the american anti-dprk narrative is really worth watching. they talk about what caused them to leave, how defectors are treated in south korea, and how south korean news offers defectors money and publicity to talk negatively about the dprk

South Korea indicts North Korean who wants to return on charges of breaking security law

SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean prosecutors have indicted a North Korean defector who wants to return home on charges of violating a national security law, her lawyer told Reuters.

Kim Ryen Hi, 51, drew international attention in 2015 when she pleaded for deportation, saying she had been tricked by a broker and never intended to leave her homeland. She even reported herself to police as a spy and tried to forge a passport, which brought a suspended prison sentence.

After South Korean authorities repeatedly rejected her demand, she launched an online campaign, writing open letters to her family and U.N. officials and sharing her interviews on Facebook and YouTube.

But last week, prosecutors indicted Kim on charges of breaching the National Security Act on several counts, including plotting to escape to North Korea, which the law stipulates as an “anti-government organisation that threatens the existence and security” of the nation or its free democratic order.

A copy of the indictment, which was not made public, was seen by Reuters.

Kim was also accused of possessing and distributing material that praised the North by posting its state media articles and letters from her family on social media.

“The charges made me speechless as I mostly shared what others wrote or talked about my story or hometown, and yet prosecutors have never even bothered to call me in for questioning through all those years,” Kim told Reuters.

The interesting thing is that completely conflating fascism with white supremacy, to the point where both terms are treated as meaning the exact same thing, has resulted in some pretty bad cases of political analysis that, indirectly, end up rehabilitating liberalism. Like I’ve seen this post around that says the United States has always been fascist, citing its lengthy history of genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and white supremacy as proof of this being the case, when the reality is that no, in fact, the United States never needed to be a fascist dictatorship to commit any of these atrocities, and in fact carried them out while being one of the world’s leading examples of liberal democracy… because systematic and extreme white supremacist violence is completely compatible with liberal democracy, because liberal democracy is not actually some kind of good system of politics that should be aspired to, it’s a product of capitalist society, a means of politically organizing it, and capitalism has been carrying out racist terror and genocide from the start. The real takeaway would be that capitalist liberal democracy is actually not completely distinct from fascism when it comes to creating regimes of racist terror and white supremacist violence, which is why fascism is so often the destination point of liberal democracies in decline.
