the fact that international celebrities are addressing the farmers protest better than the indian government never fails to astound me.

[lichrelly]

now the government considers that people talking about the farmers protests is a bigger problem than the farmers protest itself

[lichrelly]

indian “celebrities” are now talking about how “non-indians should not intervene” as if they or the government have been considerate about how the laws affect the farmers.

[lichrelly]

akshay kumar tweeted “let this not divide us and our nation”

so you think supporting the farmers against late stage capitalism and unfair laws divides us? fuck you.

[lichrelly]

kangana ranaut literally told rihanna to shut up. bitch you had the audacity. you WISH you were at her level. 

rihanna is a humanitarian, and the news channels are now SLUT SHAMING HER and are talking about how much she paid for her fucking make up to portray that only “shameful women/people support farmers” while our “pious kangana ranaut is on the right side”

[lichrelly]

the thing is, people in india view the government to be this divine authority and we must accept what it does. 

and like that is the total opposite of what a democracy is.

people don’t know that governments are supposed to be criticized, that a government is supposed to cater to the people’s needs, that our prime minister isn’t a fucking god and criticizing the government doesn’t make you an “anti-national”

[lichrelly]

the CAA protests (which was against a blatantly islamophobia law) was ignored and covid 19 caused the protests to stop, and nothing happened, nobody talks about it. 

fuckers like kangana ranaut obviously called them terrorists or anti-national. the islamophobia in india is so rampant that apparently being a muslim makes you less of an indian.

the government expected the farmers protests to blow over, like the caa one. but it didn’t. they couldn’t stop the protests due to covid this time.

[lichrelly]

70 farmers died because of protesting. this was because so many of them were old and couldn’t handle the climate outside. people are labelling FARMERS as terrorists or anti-nationals.

the parallel between the farmers protests and blm is pretty clear. blm protests in america were peaceful and nobody wanted to listen to them?? and once it became violent, racists labelled blm protests as violent and don’t deserve to be listened to?? even if they haven’t been listened to since the very beginning??

its pretty much the same here.

the largest workers protests have been going on here and the government is trying to label the farmers as terrorists or too illiterate to understand the farm laws

and the police are building a wall in the capital to stop the protests. even some of the indo pakistani border isn’t this thick

[lichrelly]

greta thunberg extended her support and i am so so grateful for that, she also shared a toolkit to help the protests, (which unfortunately is deleted now) 

and the indian news channels are trying to convince us that she doesn’t care about the farmer’s protests and she apparently wants to “dismantle the indian democracy”

india isn’t even a democracy anymore. the government now wants to obstruct freedom of speech by warning twitter of penal action if it doesn’t block the accounts which tweet about the protests.

please, this needs more attention. india is descending into fascism. “democracy” is just a blanket covering the chaos underneath. 

here’s a petition to help

also thank you to the people who signed the UK petition to support indian farmers, now that the uk parliament is considering a debate on it.

All these bollywood celebs saying wE sHoUlDnT lEt pRoPaGaNdA dIvIdE uS have a special spot in hell. India against propaganda, it seems. There are people dying, and they’re sitting in their homes that are paid for by bjp. And the supporters are shaming Rihanna for being a victim of abuse and supporting Chris brown because they’d rather praise the perpetrator of a crime than a person trying to speak up about human rights issues. I’m just so angry at our fucking government and the people who think all the bullshit modi is pulling is okay

WHAT THE FUCK?? the media, modi and his fucking supporters are all bullshit. i am so angry.

[dar-badar]

How fucking delusional does one have to be to believe that RIHANNA. RIHANNA was paid to tweet about the protest. That GRETA THUNBERG is part of an “international conspiracy” to divide India. The audacity of right wingers never ceases to amaze me. They reach new lows every. single. day.

What else can you expect from them whose leader, our beloved Prime Minister- follows trolls who give rape threats to women- on Twitter.

India is on a path to ruin. Intolerance is at an all time high. FIRs are filed against tv shows, comedians are arrested for jokes they didnt make, acts of sedition and UAPA are slapped on student activists and journalists to keep them in jail and stop them from speaking the truth.

The mainstream media is rotting everyone’s brains, vilification of anyone who speaks against the govt reins supreme, and I am terrified. I am terrified of the future, scared of the people around me, and feeling extremely desolate.

Speak up, please. Raise your voice. Support the farmers. Our democracy has been in danger for while now, we need to step up before it’s too late.

Speak up.

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like “male”, “female”, “nonbinary”, “masculine”, “feminine” or “androgynous”.

My...my mom just accused trans people and scientists of starting the Corona virus.

[books-andbiscuits]

Excuse me what

[borg-beb]

She said the Corona virus is gods punishment for scientists trying to play god ("scientists playing god" is scientists finding proof of other genders, and helping trans people transition, etc.)

Reblog this if you're either trans, a trans ally, or a scientist bringing Gods wrath by helping people feel comfortable.

did i ever tell u all that when i was 15 i went on a school trip to see romeo and juliet at the globe but my teacher didn’t realise until after he’d booked it that it was a ~sexy~ version with bdsm in it

[ghostresidues]

ok people wanted the whole story here are the most Memorable Moments™️

•the production made a lot of people very very angry and the reviews were calling it ‘a desecration of shakespeare’ , other people said it was akin to vandalism

•a warning letter had to be sent home to parents because it was too late to cancel the booking

•all the teachers there looked like they wanted to die cause we were 13-15 years old lmaoo

•the play opened with really aggressive confetti cannons and in the centre of the stage there was this really muscled guy wearing almost nothing and there were four women in essentially lingerie just.. gyrating over him

•this had nothing to do with the plot by the way it was just there

•we’re only five minutes in and i think the teachers were considering evacuating us

•romeo’s dad is in an inflatable dinosaur costume for an entire scene.. no context was given

•i’ve blocked the actual sex scene out of my memory

•i might have imagined this but in the masked ball scene i swear someone was in full bdsm gear i SWEAR

•mercutio was played by a woman and just started stripping during a monologue which was an Experience

•lots and lots of twerking from background actors

•romeo was just dressed like an emo the whole time

[ghostresidues]

for any doubters here’s an excerpt from an article on it ! by the financial times for some reason

[yarnlegend]

This is 100% what Shakespeare would have wanted

[quill-and-chalk]

Major Networks: Kids just can’t understand complex themes and subjects. You have to dumb everything down for them...

Avatar: How about the theme no one is truly evil. Everyone can be redeemed. You always have a choice. Friendships last more than one life time... all while having the world almost burn into a fiery flame and our main protagonists having to wonder if they truly believe in all the themes I just mentioned.

Over the Garden Wall: What about having a show where it’s just big metaphor for the after life and it’s kids wondering in the grey area between life and death. Along the way they learn how to truly treat each other as brothers... and make it only slightly scarring.

Gravity Falls: I love what your doing with the sightly scarring bit but what if we adding the theme of all good things must come to an end, You don’t know everyone’s situation, and life is a mystery so go out and solve it. Also let’s add some codes for kids to crack... because they’re smart.

Steven Universe: Okay but what about the theme love conquers all but also show the hardship war and destructive love has on people and how it can hurt people even thousands of years after the fact, but it’s never too late to try and make it better... also make it have queer representation.

She-ra: See, I like what your doing with that queer representation... but what if we showed that abuse victims don’t have to continue the cycle even if it seems like they reached a point of no return, they can become better. Also show that everyone has the power to be good but not everyone will choose to be good, and you can be selfish sometimes... also let’s show an wlw that has no mentions of homophobia... because lesbians with swords.

Networks:.... what?

Not to get deep on main, but Gen Z? They're just kids who were forced to grow up.

[spacestationjukebox]

We’ve grown up in a world post 9/11 and seeing all of the hatred against groups of people who just want to exist in peace. We’ve grown up being told it’s up to us to fix global warming and pollution problems. We’ve grown up in a time of social media and technology where information spreads fast to millions of people. We’ve grown up seeing black people getting killed when a white person wouldn’t in the same situation. We’ve grown up seeing the mess we have to inherit. Seeing the injustice, the prejudice, the hatred, species dying off, glaciers melting, oceans rising, animals with bellies full of plastic. We’ve known that we literally have the planet on our shoulders while older generations keep adding more things for us to fix. 

[incorrectgenerations]

^^^This right here is important. Like imma be serious again for a second. This right here is what people don't realize. Older generations have the audacity to call us immature and say we don't know what we're talking about, but we do. We've seen it happen. We've learned about it. Sometimes it seems we're the only ones really trying to do anything about it. And the "it" I'm referring is multiple things such as climate change, racism, homophobia, etc.
