one of the many problems with 'listen to x voices' rhetoric is that in order to be in the diaspora & gain citizenship in the first place your family often has to conform, to some degree, to western policy regarding our home countries & then those are the most plentiful voices in the west who talk about our countries. they will try to convince you that this is "the true voice" of the people of that country but they will gleefully advocate for foreign interventions that result in the widespread destruction and looting of their home country + they will position themselves as the greatest victims in all of this. but they clearly do not view the people back home with any kind of genuine solidarity or kinship only as pawns in their own personal narrative (revenge for an imagined alternative life back home, one where you still owned land or a held position of power there) and an opportunity to seize power for themselves. & then people in the diaspora develop a complex when people back home don't like them and don't agree with them & start claiming that everyone in the home country is brainwashed and the only way to free them is by invading and bombing everyone. they don't even view their cousins and family back home as real people, in this type of person's mindset simply by coming to west you are made real in a way that the rest of the world is not, it's sickening. and i know this song and dance very well like i'm in the western diaspora and the amount of ppl i meet who position themselves as progressive people but on the topic of foreign policy re: the home country sound like they work for radio free asia and are on the cia's payroll and chomping at the bit begging canada and co to bomb their country of origin is completely insane & if you even try to push back against this you're socially ostracized. same people will do land acknowledgements and then shun you for not supporting our government warmongering overseas it's just maddening

Everyone go look up the song nasa banned from space

[hiveswap]

Don't forget to play it loud as fuck

[kowai-kabuki-tanuki]

please….listen to the whole thing. And imagine that you are IN SPACE in 1973 and you JUST woke up. Every time you adjust…it escalates somehow.

This song had to be designed in a lab for the sole purpose of fucking with astronauts. whoever added it to the NASA playlist was a genius.

It took them two tries to ban it?

Do not believe the USAmerican supreme court when it says that it just "interprets" the law and does not write it, that is a myth made up by Liberalism to create the illusion of a non-political authority to deflect blame onto for the state's violence.

The Supreme Court is extremely political, it is not impartial, and it has and continues to be a defacto unelected legislative body.

When they uphold a ban on transfems in women's sports, they are not doing that because they care about the law, in fact the law as written would actually make it illegal, they are doing it because they seek to uphold cis patriarchy.

If I hear one more fucking birthday boy complaining about how the ruling doesn't talk about them as well, when it actually used their ability to play in men's sports as a justification for the ban on transfems, I will go find that bomb for TMEs because holy shit.

[tankie-transfeminist]

Related to this, isnt it interesting how the supreme court only seems to make sweeping expansions to executive power when a republican is the president? Funny how a supposedly non-partisan, apolitical, and objective body always seems to weaken the presidency when a slightly less fascist president is in the white house, and expand it when a more fascist one is.

[cassdrawsthings]

it really is kinda funny in that deeply frustrating way how a lot of online people in the global north think that Latin America is a rhetorical device or some abstract concept and not, like, an actual place with half a billion people and complex cultural and demographic realities that do not cleanly map onto stereotypes and don't always overlap with the experiences of people in the United States. Like if you try to explain the nuances of the fact that a country can both have a relationship to race that isn't frictionless and also be the victim of colonialism/imperialism people look at you like you shot their grandmother

Me: *makes a post about how proposed mining projects from canadian multinationals in the Santurbán páramo are currently threatening to contaminate the drinking water source of my city and 30+ other municipalities (including several indigenous communities) with cyanide*

Guy who creates a new sockpuppet account every time he sees a post about LatAm with the sole purpose of embodying the strawman above:

[imsobadatnicknames2]

"Hey I'm gonna get cyanide poisoning from a first world multinational exploiting my country's natural resources"

"lmao white latinos with their 'imperial core' bullshit again"
