The legacy of France can and should only be remembered as one utterly stained by (or, more accurately, formed from) its brutal colonialist and imperialist endeavours.
@sissa-arrows source (french)
French police killed at least 100 people in 1961, throwing some of them into the River Seine to drown them.
this part is especially triggering for me, since i learnt this past 17th October, that my Grandmother, who was 15 years old at the time, arrived with her mother at this horrific scene a bit too late and was nearly arrested by the police. I can't imagine what would have happened to her if they had left the house earlier.
The rare white people who witnessed this on the right side of history said that one of the things they won’t forget is how they fellow white parisians turned into informants for the police and how during all of the night they called the cops on the Algerians who managed to hide or escape.
Over 200 Algerians were killed that night over 500 if you count the one killed in the following nights but thousands more were arrested (over 10000) every single ministry was an accomplice they used to public buses to transport them kept them in a stadium because the precincts were not big enough… While the people killed were men and women, the people arrested were a huge majority of men. So the following days the women and children started calling for a peaceful march to ask for their husbands and fathers to be released. This time they knew that the public opinion wouldn’t look kindly to it if they killed them. So the police instead arrested the women and sent them to a psychiatric hospitals saying they were unstable and needed to be locked inside. Luckily the director was a good man so he refused to lock the women inside the hospital saying they were perfectly sane but he also refused to let the police take them. So he waited until the police left to help the women leave back to their places.
There’s a documentary about it (I don’t remember if the psychiatric hospital was in this documentary or in an other) made by an Algerian woman in the diaspora in France. It’s filled with testimonies and a woman explains that when her husband left for the protest he told her to take care of the children and that if something happened to him she needed to make sure their children would go to school school and be good students. He survived to October 17 but was found and killed by the police on the 19th.
Lastly in 2021 Macron pretended to atone for what happened and with the police prefect they went to pay their respect on the bridge where most of the massacre happened and they went to put flowers. He was the first president doing it. Except after doing it in front of the camera the police then stopped the peaceful march that the survivors and the families of the victims organize every year and they kept them from putting flowers there and pay their respect. Macron did a lot of fucked up shit but pretending to acknowledge a massacre from the police while using the police to stop Algerians from paying their respects to the victims was really the thing that stayed in my mind the most. Nothing says “we actually don’t regret sending the police against a peaceful protest of Algerians and will do it again” as well as sending the police against the peaceful march organized by the descendants of those killed and by the survivors…
qazaq alphabet discourse
«we should switch to latin because it will bring us closer to the west. look at turkey! modernity! globalisation!"
«don't we have bigger problems than the damned alphabet? besides, everyone would have to relearn the language if that happened, and that's gonna take so much time and money...»
«qazaq is in need of an orthographic reform in general. that's why we have people who can't even pronounce words correctly—our alphabet isn't entirely phonetic.»
«your slavish mentality shows through your preference for european systems of writing. our ancestors used the arabic script which bridged the differences between turkic languages. this is the history we were cut off from because of the soviets.»
«you mention ancestors but forget arabic script was forced on us by arabs. our native writing system were turkic runes. people of the caucasus already use their own scripts, so why can't we?»
«while we're on it, we need to purify our language from foreign influences and add more turkic words! look at what turkish is doing.»
«classic xenophobia. loanwords from turkish are still loanwords. we can just coin new terms from our own language, or adapt loanwords to native phonology.»
«i don't know, i think native neologisms sound ugly and forced. what's wrong with just saying internet instead of ğalamtor? no one uses these words anyway.»

pls read nodutdol's thread on the no gun ri massacre
yesterday was the anniversary of the no gun ri massacre. remember that south korea is a hypermilitarized hypercapitalist neocolony of the U.S. empire that was built on the blood of our people and continues to kill korean people today.
[image ID=a tweet from the account @nodutdol, reading "On July 26, 1950, the No Gun Ri Massacre began. For three days, US soldiers butchered 400 Korean refugees hiding in a tunnel. The US and South Korea denied this history until 1999. No Gun Ri is just the most famous of 200 reported civilian massacres by US troops in the south. 🧵" attached is a greyscale photo of two tunnels situated in a hilly landscape.
the following four pictures are slides with text, sourced to Nodutdol. they read:
"TESTIMONIES FROM SURVIVORS & PERPETRATORS
"They were shooting at us from this side. We ran out the other side, but they were shooting at us there, too." - Keom Choja, age 12 in 1950
"They were checking every wounded person and shooting them if they moved" - Chung Ku Hun, survivor, age 17 in 1950
"It was assumed there were enemy in these people." - Herman Patterson, ex-rifleman
"The command looked at it as getting rid of the problem in the easiest way… shoot them in a group." - Edward L. Daily, ex-machine gunner
"We just annihilated them." - Norman Tinkler, ex-machine gunner
No US Army records on the No Gun Ri Massacre were ever found. However, in 2000, the Associated Press reported that the Pentagon received a captured North Korean document in August 1950 which described the discovery of 400 bodies at No Gun Ri.
The 2001 South Korean report on the massacre mentioned a South Korean ex-US intelligence agent who claimed to have confirmed the massacre for the US by interviewing local villagers in the fall of 1950.
"Indescribably gruesome scenes… shrubs and weeds in the area and a creek running through the tunnels were drenched in blood, and the area was covered with two or three layers of bodies." - North Korean newspaper Chosun Inminbo, August 19, 1950
After the AP report, the US and South Korean governments published separate reports in 2001.
The US acknowledged an "unknown number" of people died at No Gun Ri, but denied that orders were given to shoot them. The US report suggested the massacre could have been an accident, or provoked by refugees attacking soldiers.
President Bill Clinton wrote a statement of "regret" for civilians who "lost their lives" at No Gun Ri. The US has never apologized, taken responsibility, or offered compensation for the massacre.
The South Korean report noted that key US documents were mysterious unable to be found during the investigation. National Security Director Oh Young-ho said, "We believe there was an order to fire."
No Gun Ri survivors denounced the US report as a "whitewash" of history. Six years later, the US Army admitted it had found but did not disclose a letter from the US ambassador addressed to the Secretary of State from the day the No Gun Ri Massacre began. The letter read: "If refugees appear from north of US lines they will receive warning shots, and if they then persist in advancing they will be shot.""
this slide contains a greyscale photo of statues of a group of people carrying packs. it's captioned as "Commemorative statue at No Gun Ri Memorial Peace Park, built in 2015."
the final pictures are screenshots of tweets by @nodutdol. the first reads: "The No Gun Ri revelations opened the floodgates to other Korean War survivors' testimonies, which had been suppressed by decades of US-backed fascism and the anti-free speech National Security Law. In 2005, the South Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission was formed." attached is a screenshot of a slide reading:
"Summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report:
9,461 reports of civilian massacres
154 mass graves
Evidence for 1,461 massacres found, including 200 done by U.S. troops
82% of massacres involved US or ROK forces"
the final tweet reads: "No Gun Ri is the most famous US massacre from the Korean War, but it's not the only one. No Gun Ri exposes the US myth of "saving" or "liberating" Korea. In practice, the US saw all Koreans as "gooks"—racially inferior threats to be controlled or eliminated." attached is a black and white photo of a group of Korean people with their hands on their heads, watched by a soldier with a gun. the group is walking down a dirt road, and in the background a destroyed building is billowing smoke. /end ID]

“What do you do for fun?” I like reading about Macabre tragedies in history and becoming emotionally attached to those who were lost.. you know normal stuff :)
I’m feeling super autistic today. I’m working on a script for an upcoming podcast episode that I took notes for over a year ago and as I looked at my notes I was disappointed about how “light” and “surface level” my notes were so I just spent three hour diving even deeper into this topic and I now have ten pages of notes I need to turn into an actual script (as oppose to five pages). This is why my podcast is known as the “weedsy” podcast 🤣
December 05 marked the anniversary of the massacre of striking workers of the United Fruit Company on the Caribbean coast of Colombia in 1928, where thousands were killed. The company responsible is known today as “Chiquita.”
my fav relationship ship dynamic is where it doesn't matter if you call it platonic or romantic or queerplatonic because they always act the same in every type of relationship. and the way they act? fucking weird.
One of the darkest moments of France’s colonial history has never been properly acknowledged. That could be about to change.
