I am absolutely OBSESSED with The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros at the moment. I finished reading it over the weekend, and immediately got to drawing! Hopefully I did our badass Violet and her dragons justice!

hypersensationalism

its just so... its not like i dont think ukraine is going through a horrible situation right now and i dont think all the solidarity with them is a bad thing or anything like that but its so sinister when you remember how little attention this would get if it was anything but a white country. where was palestine's somber chorus on snl? where was syria's moment of silence? why is israel still in eurovision? its just... its so transparent its not even funny.

That’s exactly what I’m saying! I get that Russia invading Ukraine can lead to a WWIII and that Nuclear is taken into consideration. But still, we need to show compassion and solidarity no matter who the oppressor is and who is being oppressed and no matter what is at stake. I stand with the people of Ukraine, but I also stand with any oppressed living being.

But what makes things worse is all the shameless comments I see and hear from white commentators and presenters that go along the lines of “The refugees now aren’t fleeing the Middle East or Afghanistan, they are civilized European white blue eyed middle class people”. This is shocking, disgusting, upsetting but really not surprising.

War in the Middle East / Asia / Africa are so normalized nowadays, that people hardly feel anything about them anymore. It’s really disgusting especially if you take into account that most of them (if not all of them) were funded, encouraged or caused by the west.

I compiled a list of tweets that show the double standards, the hypocrisy and the racism of the commentators and presenters I am talking about. In case you want to check for yourself,

HERE YOU GO.
