I will never be able to understand just how many people don’t (or choose not to) understand that we will never hate our way to a better, more just world. Finding “acceptable” groups of people to hate and ridicule and say insane things like “get rid of all those, then everything will be fine” about will never work. It never, ever has and it never, ever will.
It shouldn’t be difficult to get that if you build your world view and your actions in the world on hatred and divisiveness instead of love and compassion for humanity as a whole, it will poison your soul.
Having a loved one in Israel is weird bcs I have every personal reason to want this war over as soon as possible, but I can't hang around and talk with other people against the war, bcs most of the people against the war in the west kinda want the person I love dead, and yeah.
Your loved one decided to go participate in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Your loved one decided to support an ongoing genocide. Your loved one doesn't get any sympathy from the rest of us.
Imagine contributing to a genocide and wanting people to feel sorry for you.
I'm assuming the loved one could, y'know, leave. Or stand up against the genocide. Or do something. And they're choosing not to. That's their choice, which you support and yes, you both deserve to be judged for it. If you both didn't want the judgement, you should've made a better choice.
If that isn't the case, and they have no choice, I'm sorry. They're in a bad position and they don't deserve it. But they're also not wanted dead. I don't want random people in Israel death. I don't think I want anyone dead. I want the war to stop by Israel ending the genocide and making amends. There's a difference.
If you are advocating for the end of Israel, for all Jews to simply "leave," or simply accept whatever else happens, you are advocating for genocide.
I am tired of pretending that western leftists advocating "death to Israel" as people are in the notes, or politely skirting the issue by claiming they DONT want anyone dead, just for everyone to willingly leave the ONLY nation in the world where Jews have ever been safe from white supremacy and Arab supremacy. The only nation that guarantees Jewish safety.
I am tired of people who are so happily pro genocide that they dont even realize what they are yelling for accusing us of being the monsters.
I don't know how many people in the notes are Americans but as always it's rich coming from them. Talk about genocidal colonizers? After they voted in Trump twice absolutely no American has any leg to stand on. I suppose it isnt surprising that their stance is "get out of the country," since their tax dollars are the ones funding ICE.
Clearly "go back where you came from, even if you only left because they were trying to kill you" is a universal stance.
So somehow when Americans did it to the native Americans, that was bad, but when it happens in other places that's just fine and dandy? And here I hoped people would learn from history....Unless you're gonna say that the first colonisers there were absolutely right to wipe everyone out and that's why Israel should too? Shame on you. It's also not true that if Israel stops killing everyone they'll be killed in turn. That's bullshit and you know it. Israel started the genocide and them stopping it wouldn't mean they would die.
"Shame on me" ? Are you kidding me? Are you SERIOUS
You have no idea what you're talking about, your lack of understanding about every aspect of the situation from the historical context to the extremely clear double standard Americans employ when they accuse Israel of genocide and insist the ONLY way to make amends is to abandon their own right to a state (which yes, would be genocide — the destruction of a nation is one of the definitions and anyone without somewhere would be slaughtered the same way we have always been slaughtered and or forced to flee to avoid said slaughter for centuries. Ask yourself, what happened to all the Jew that used to live in the MENA? Where did they go? Lebanon, Yemen, Libya, Syria?
https://jewswerehere.com/
I don't want anyone to die. But there are only 16 million Jews left in the whole world. Do you understand how small that is? Nearly half of them live in Israel.
America and Canada, where I live, are both colonized nations built on the blood of Indigenous peoples. That is a gruesome, undisputed fact. We have barely even begun to scratch the surface of acknowledging the depth of the crimes that were committed. Yet no one disputes that we all have a right to live here. That the refugees from other countries that flee here seeking safety and a better life dont deserve that same safety and protection, even if they are settling on colonized land. And that anyone forcing them out is a monster.
When the British colonized these lands and killed everyone who was already here, they did it purely in pursuit of power. To expand their empire, to make something theirs and rule the way they wanted. And they could have had a peaceful existence here, it's not like there isnt enough land. But they didnt do that.
Israel was not founded out of a desire for power or conquest. There were people making their way to the area they were told was the holy land for years, sure, but even those folks were by and large motivated by pogroms, not simply a desire for a nice chance of scenery.
Without the Holocaust, Israel never would have been founded. We were forced out of our homes AGAIN and not allowed to return. You sickos keep telling people "go back to Poland" as if people didnt TRY. You think they didn't just want to go home? There was no home.
America and Canada didnt want the Holocaust refugees. No one did. You can look this all up, this is historical fact. Please dont you feel you need to take my word for any of it.
Regardless, the British dumped the refugees on Palestine. They also did not want them there and attacked the settlement camps.
Now, I have heard the justification that they werent attacking the camps because they were Jewish camps, it's because they were British. And if you think I give a flying fuck about why someone attacked camps full of Holocaust survivors, you can go fuck yourself. If you would like to justify that as reasonable, well, I guess I'm not surprised. It wouldn't be the first-time. I just cant understand it.
It didnt have to happen like that. None of this had to happen. The Holocaust, fucking America and Canada these fucking so called great nations...
Im not sorry that the Holocaust survivors in those camps refused to be killed. And im not sorry that they fought back, and formed a resistance. I wish more than anything it wasn't necessary, that the land could have been shared from the start and all of this avoided.
But no, Israel didnt start this. And you—that is all of you, every single non Jew and all your ancestors who continue to justify your hatred of us century after fucking century yes there is always some new perfectly good reason—have made it perfectly clear why we need at least one single nation in the entire world that cares about Jewish safety.
Because no one else gives a flying fuck.
Stop advocating for our genocide.
"Israel was not built of a desire for power" BULL. SHIT.
Don't you dare say this is because of the holocaust because this was planned since decades before the holocaust:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine
If people were really not able to go anywhere else after the holocaust then that means the europeans decided it was easier (read profitable) to just colonize another place instead of building a world where stolen land being the only safe place for a group of people would be unthinkable. Meaning zionists settlers were willing particpants of the powers that abused them.
As for the US and Canada, I agree it being stolen land, which is why many groups have been fighting to get it back since before long before Isnotreal even existed.
So I'm sorry if people are sick of your shit, I'm sorry if manifest destiny is treated with the contempt it should've had from the start and I'm sorry if you being victims of a genocide doesn't justify another.
But I'm Not. Fucking. Sorry.
The fact that you admit Europeans forcibly removed Jews from their countries and stuck them in the Levant, yet still somehow believe these Jews were fellow European colonizers and not victims and refugees of European colonization would be funny if it weren't so heinously bigoted.
Anyway. Am Yisrael Chai. The days of people killing Jews without consequences is over. Suck it.
The whole “Zionists were trying to get to establish a Jewish state before the Holocaust. Checkmate, Zionists!” bit, lol
Yeah? it’s almost like Europeans killing and oppressing Jews didn’t begin or end with the Shoah? and there had been Jews in diaspora who were trying to return to their homeland for centuries?
So wild how these people have such a narrow, anemic understanding (a stretch to even call it that) of Jewish History, yet want to lecture us on it. How literally being ethnically cleansed gets twisted around on Jews to call us “Colonizers”.
Racist ghouls.
why don’t all these Americans, Canadians, Australians, go back to their country and give the land back to the indigenous and aborigines ? why don’t they be such a good example of “dismantling” these colonial societies and stop contributing to the ongoing genocide?
no?
they just want Israel to do it? the only Jewish state? Interesting
and when the Jews flee from the “dismantling” of Israel where should they go?
if the Jews flee to the Americas or Australia or Europe, would they welcome them?
or would they call them invaders?
would they concentrate them into camps for being “participants in genocide” ? even the children?
they are swallowing up Nazi propaganda, they’ll deny it, but they would make Hitler proud. Goebbels would shed a tear of how well they distribute antisemitic propaganda.
maybe they won’t deny it, and they’ll swim in the propaganda and tremble at the thought “I was lied to. The Nazis were right.” which is why they don’t take the deaths or violence against Jews seriously.
It scares them to agree with Hitler, so to feel about themselves they just point at Jews and say
“they are the real Nazis, and they didn’t learn their lesson”
tbh i don’t think any aesthetic or fandom is inherently leftist. people will say “you can’t be goth/punk/emo/alt/whatever if you’re not a leftist!” and “how do conservative star trek fans exist?” and like. it’s simple. they’re literally just aesthetics and fandoms. there is nothing inherently leftist about dressing a certain way, or listening to certain music, or watching certain tv shows.
i think a lot of people want to believe that performing a certain aesthetic or being in a certain fandom makes you a better leftist, because they’re at least semi-aware that they aren’t doing enough. but instead of going out and trying to improve anything, they just reframe something they’re already doing as radical and leftist.
I agree with this for everything except punk because punk starts in the mind and you truly can't be punk and be conservative. You can be punk and not look punk, but there is no way you can be punk and right wing.
If punk is being anti-conformity, and the left is dominant and conformist...
Not in this country it ain't.
For calibration: are you one of those people who thinks being left only applies to communists and socialists, and the mainstream american left is actually centrist or right-wing?
My yearly reminder that the Ramones were anti communist and Johnny Ramone in particular was a Republican.
Clothing inherently does not have an ideology tied to it.
You people act like what you put on your backs is a statement.
You are peacocks without beaks, all you do is run and warble. Maybe you'll ran into somebody but it will never be enough to do anything worthwhile to them.
I mean yeah, I very much remember seeing dudes in suits and ties getting gnarly in the pit back in the day and it wasn't some kind of "corporate punk" shit it was literally for the laugh of "there's not a fucking dress code" and it was about defying what you're told to do by everybody including other punks. And seeing dudes in a pressed suit with a silk tie and liberty spikes went hard as fuck. They'd get their jackets torn to shreds and the pants ripped off at the knees, the tie cut and turned into a headband and a hundred sticky patches slapped all over them by the end of the night and they'd be covered in black oil and dirt from the pit fighting in the parking lot, and they'd wear those rags forever. Sew on whatever patches survived the night. That's how battle jackets used to get made, it was whatever you wore that survived, not this Levi Strauss brand vest with patches sewn on from Hot Topic and Spencer's.
Heck, the Hives are famous for rockin' in suits.
Having a loved one in Israel is weird bcs I have every personal reason to want this war over as soon as possible, but I can't hang around and talk with other people against the war, bcs most of the people against the war in the west kinda want the person I love dead, and yeah.
Your loved one decided to go participate in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. Your loved one decided to support an ongoing genocide. Your loved one doesn't get any sympathy from the rest of us.
Imagine contributing to a genocide and wanting people to feel sorry for you.
Imagine seeing someone say "i have a loved one in Israel" and the first thing out of your fat gob is "THEY SUPPORT A GENOCIDE, SO IDFC IF THEY DIE-" like motherfucker they probably just fucking LIVE THERE!!! Where did you get that they're contributing to genocide???
You really didn't do anything to disprove OP's point here. Goddamn...
Every year on the anniversary of DDay, French citizens take sand from Omaha Beach and rub it onto the gravestones of fallen soldiers who gave their lives to liberate Europe. It gives the letters a golden shine. They do this for all 9,386 American soldiers buried there.
Chaque année, à l'occasion de l'anniversaire du DDay, les citoyens français prennent du sable d'Omaha Beach et l'étalent sur les tombes des soldats tombés au combat qui ont donné leur vie pour libérer l'Europe. Cela donne aux lettres un éclat doré. Ils font celà pour les 9'386 soldats américains qui y sont enterrés.
omnipresent tiktok style captions make me want to break a chair over someone's head.
I CAN READ MORE THAN ONE WORD AT A TIME IN HIGHLIGHTED GREEN COMIC SANS YOU CLOWNS
these are getting weird
There's another angle too. It only takes one dealership arson case before Tesla owners decide that a bumper sticker is a lot cheaper than a new car. So less "tell me I'm not to blame" and more "don't set my car on fire."
every so often i think about the man who went on the news to talk about antisemitism in australia after a synagogue fire bombing, who was then just over a year later murdered throwing bricks at the bondi beach shooter. and i just want to fly into an everlasting eternal rage at. well. everything. all of it.
In high school I knew a girl who went on the local news to talk about how omnipresent swastika graffiti had become in our schools. There had been a shooting at our JCC a few years earlier, and she was facing the same hate at her own school. Her name was Sarah Milgrim. She was shot and killed with her fiancé in Washington DC by a man shouting “Free Palestine” last year. She deserved so much more.
fuck an "intended audience" how about we normalize engaging with new and unfamiliar art pieces on their own terms
ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the difference between pushing a product and creating a work of art
I can't be bothered to find the thread rn. But there were a bunch of people talking about it, and I agree, so I'm sharing the idea here:
We need a death of the audience; lots of media gets worse because authors are too worried about a hypothetical audience. As someone engaging with media, you need to understand that you simply might not understand all of it, and that's ok. But also I think more authors need to realize that it's ok if not everyone in the audience will fully understand everything they're doing.
These retards called this
Lolicon, a big titty college girl, no one is safe.
ALSO THEY IGNORE THE FUCKIN RAPE GANGS BUT GO AFTER DEPICTIONS OF FICTITIOUS ENTITIES THE UK GOVERNMENT IS FILLED WITH WORTHLESS TROGLODYTES
The UK for some reason: "You know, maybe it's fine to marry your cousin"
"Maybe I should let this rapist out because he 'didn't know better' and just educate him on why that woman/women he raped are not ok after what he did. Punishment? No. The poor dumb immigrant is too pathetic and low IQ to know better"
"OK so we have now deemed that UN-realistic art, specifically anime is now worse than raping irl kids and irl possession of CP. And we must put our thumb on the throats of anyone that draws anything similar!"
"Well actually it'll be a great day when all the whites are gone".
Don't ever move to this shithole country. The goverment is Cucked and selling themselves out to an invading group. Gonna be funny when they ban drinking, dogs, and pork. Not that I'll rub it in the faces of the people that told me it's not happening. Nah I'm above that.
I don't have any sources but now all the people I saw on Twitter talking about it last week are saying the vtuber is an older dude who is apparently a legitimate pedophile. And his arrest was for way more then the art. Again no sources just Twitter
It wouldn't be the same story I saw. Or the original versions I saw were incorrect. But I looked into it some, it was a woman that has a chibi model whom is also an artist but got arrested for drawing loli of her own model. Granted don't expect anyone on Twitter to not also lie about this to protect the premise "Loli= IRL CP" which is just gross ASF a proposition and ignores one of the biggest reasons WHY CP is illegal in the first place.
The "source" of Mimi being a man (actually, a trans woman, but in about seven words you'll see why the term always used by people spreading this is "man") and being a "legitimate pedophile" is KiwiFarms.
Mimi being a man was deduced by, supposedly, following a trail of Steam user IDs and correlating them to similar usernames on other websites.
Mimi being a "legitimate pedophile" is based on, after following the above trail, finding that the supposed Pixiv account of Mimi follows an artist who drew art of Stephanie from Lazy Town. Stephenie was portrayed by two actresses over the course of its run, both of whom were underage at the time of the show's recording (which was over twenty years ago). That is what people, including Chibi Reviews, are calling "pulling a Shadman." Oh, and the art in question was, according to my source (because KiwiFarms did not actually provide a link to the art or even name the artist of the artwork, so I couldn't confirm jack or shit otherwise) was not only deleted after the artist was informed of the actresses age at the time of the show's recording, it was posted only two months before the KiwiFarms detectives took a screenshot of it's tags, meaning that not only is Mimi being called similar to Shadman and "legitimate pedophile" over following an artist, but being called such over an artwork she may not have even seen because it was possibly posted after she was arrested and deleted before she could access Pixiv again and reveals that, if my source is to be trusted, the artist is not in the habit of creating this kind of artwork.
Oh, and, I must point out ChibiReviews, in the same thread that they condemn Mimi based on what KiwiFarms "discovered," said, in no uncertain terms, that KiwiFarms is not a trust source.
Anyway, post I made about this over two weeks ago when the "discovery" dropped
Gundam twitter has been saying that the franchise only ever covers fictional politics so I double-checked some iconic scenes and wow, they were completely right!
anyone who claims that the presence of Obvious Nazis makes something "political" instantly discredits their entire argument
Nazis are dramatic shorthand for "everyone hate these guys and it is okay to kill them and not feel bad about it." using Nazis as bad guys is how you don't have to cover anything about their politics or their conditions or what led to their existence or what their worldview is.
to call that "political" is to define "political" in such a way that it conveys no information value. no person has ever used the argument "this had Nazis and Nazis are bad so it is political" who was not using it to justify the claim "I should never ever ever ever shut the fuck up about my opinion of American presidential politics and I should turn every single community I am in into an endless circlejerk about my opinion of American presidential politics."
human beings do not use this definition of the word "political", only shrieking fonts of entropy do that.
It's the human equivalent of Demons as shorthand for 'you can kill these things without regret or hesitation' and I'm going to stop here before I start into the rant I KNOW I have about how the same community that balks at considering supernatural threats as things acceptable to be killed want to claim anyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi.
It's okay you can say Frieren.
Oh, you think I meant 'Beyond Journey's End'? You should be so lucky. Vampires, Demons, Werewolves. If a narrative establishes a 'good' version of a creature for it's specific story, every single yahoo out there will start acting as if they're all good nd misunderstood and humanity is the true evil.
You think Frieren discourse in the fandom is bad? Look at the actual TEXT of the Netflix Devil May Cry.
Have you seen Michael Coolwood’s “ADHD vs Sherlock is Garbage and Here’s Why”? It highlights a lot of problems with hbomberguy’s approach to Sherlock that show a pattern with his approach to RWBY. You might like it.
Actually I did. In particular, what stood out to me was the section about how Harry had a habit of making personal attacks on the writer Steven Moffat and how those issues mirrored the issues with how he depicted Miles and Kerry. How I thought that bit was him taking advantage of the hate surrounding them in that unique situation....and it turned out: No, that's just how Harry is. He just makes personal attacks. Lines up actually- he exposed Internet Historian for plagerizing the Man In Cave video from a Brental Floss article...but decided to dilute his actual point by making personal attacks.
Honestly, it reminds me of how my opinion on the Jello RWBY video changed. I originally thought it was some of the worst shit ever and how it was uniquely bad. But then I watched some of his other STiB videos and his ranking videos and I realized: No, there's nothing unique to the RWBY video. It's just his usual STiB shtick, I just knew enough about RWBY to feel when he screwed up. Same with Harry: While I knew he was just vomiting up common complaints, I thought he was being unique with the personal attacks. But no: Again, I just knew the RWBY discourse enough to know the issues.
I've even started noticing this issue elsewhere, like how people call the professor from High Guardian Spice a self insert when...no, people just don't like the show and 'self insert' is an easy complaint. I think we all just get caught up in our initial reactions, we don't actually think stuff through.
The thing is, HBomberguy has had this pattern of personal attacks as replacement for real arguments for over a decade now, back from the post Atheism+ days.
Now, to be fair I don't disagree with his positions on Moffat or Sherlock. Sherlock is a TERRIBLE show. It's just that he's also a terrible person, and the kind of vitriolic behavior he shows is easy to overlook when you agree with him, but is obvious when you don't.
ISTG IGN needs to hire better game reviewers. Because what do you mean you think that the CARTOON SHOOTER GAME, BASED AROUND THE RUBBERHOSE CARTOON AESTHETIC, THAT FEATURES MICE AS A STAND IN FOR HUMANS, is “corny”, “unrealistic”, and “has too many references to cheese.” MOTHER FUCKER THATS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE GAME! ITS SUPPOSED TO BE DUMB AND CORNY BECAUSE IT FEATURES CARTOON MICE THAT YOU SHOOT!!!!
I definetly feel like alot of the insane leftist ideas used to be only specific to tumblr but they have unfortunately breached containment and are now on mainstream sites like instagram, reddit, youtube and of course, in real life.
I remember when only crazy tumblr people claimed that gender isn't real but also that all forms of traditional masculinity are toxic, now I literally know men who have admitted to me that they don't want to be alive anymore and because of how normalized man-hating has become. That's just one example, but it's probably the most prominent example of leftist insanity that I see regularly, it's gotten to the point where I went to a department store to pick up some stuff one day and found a wall of sweatshirts with the phrase "dump him" printed on them in big sparkly letters. It almost makes me miss the days when I participated in more popular/well-known fandoms than I do now and I got death threats from other women for writing fanfic that appealed to the male gaze too much (nevermind that 99% of men don't even read fanfiction anyways.)
Anyone who claims that gender is a social construct but also claims that men are inherently evil or claims that men are inherently morally worse than women is someone you should never take seriously about anything.
