[5soswfttwtaf]

getting this news in real time was horrifying bc at first we were laughing at them like oh they knew how many soldiers they were gonna lose and came prepared but then Bucha happened, Mariupol happened, and the moment we realised it was for us made my blood run cold

[snovyda]

Same as when their authorities published instructions on how to dig mass graves. We thought it was also due to them preparing for losses, but it was all planned for us. A lot of us did end up in those mass graves, in Kyiv region, in Izium, in Mariupol, but they had plans for do much more...

[wordswithoutaworld]

I’m ashamed that this fact — even though I read those news reports at the time — faded into the background in my mind over time.

But at the same time, you realize how huge the whole SYSTEM of genocide working against us is, that sometimes you can’t even keep in your head all the methods Russians use to get rid of you, to destroy you completely.

Meet the incinerator IN-50.1K — a mobile crematorium designed for the disposal of human remains.

[snovyda]

And most of the world readily and eagerly accepts and endorses this happening to us.

[femme-and-furious]

I’m getting really really tired of myself and other Jewish people getting accused of “oppression olympics” and feeling guilty whenever we bring up the fact that anti-Semitism and Jewish-related hate crimes get consistently ignored and dismissed by people who claim to stand against racial inequality and racial violence. It’s not “oppression olympics” to ask you to reflect on why you’re so damn eager to turn a blind eye to the suffering of my people. Jews have been leaving Europe by the thousands. Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized, synagogues have been firebombed and shot up, and kosher markets have been targeted. And no, this is not just about Europe, it’s about the US too. It’s not “oppression olympics” to ask you why a “Jewish lives matter” hashtag has not trended but a “Hitler was right” hashtag has, and why none of you said anything about it. And fuck off with the “Jews have white privilege” bullshit, this isn’t about white privilege. My family had no white privilege when they were taken from their homes and thrown in concentration camps. Look, if you’ve got time to flood all of your social media accounts with posts about every other type of hate crime except those pertaining to Jewish people, don’t bother calling yourself an activist and don’t bother speaking to me. The Holocaust was not our lesson to learn. It was yours.

Welp sims 4 is officially so broken I no longer save my game or builds

[deathdaydungeon]

Two up, two down

We talk about Potter as a timeless series, as quills and parchment will never date, but there are a few key elements which are of their time, and I sometimes suspect that eventually, their original meaning may be lost.

Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is one of these.  If you visit Surrey, a house akin to Number 4 on Privet Drive can be found on hundreds of identical estates.  Indeed, the three-bedroom house with a garage, and both front and back gardens, situated on a private housing estate in leafy surburbia is one that most British people will have strolled through at some point.

But Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is the opposite of the Dursleys’ aspirational abode, and is somewhere that few modern readers will have seen in its original form with their own eyes.  Snape’s house in Spinner’s End is a traditional two up, two down through terraced house, mired deep in a maze of identical cobbled streets, overlooked by a looming mill chimney, and seemingly – by the 90s – entirely abandoned.

The difficulty that some may have in accurately picturing this scene is because these houses, in this state, no longer exist.  A large percentage of two up, two down terraces were demolished as part of slum clearance, which should tell you all that you need to know about the state of the houses.  

Those which remained have been extensively modified – usually knocking down the privy (outside toilet), and then building a two storey extension across the bulk of the yard to create a third room downstairs, and a bathroom upstairs.  Some houses only have a single extension; it is rather common in some areas of the Midlands to have a bathroom that leads off the kitchen downstairs – because the bathroom was the missing room, and it was cheaper to build one storey than two.

Pottermore had an article earlier in the year which explained how the filmmakers originally wanted to film on location, but could not, because the houses simply did not exist in their traditional state.

The houses were typically constructed with two rooms downstairs and two rooms upstairs with a tiny backyard entry leading to the outhouse. Craig actually considered shooting on location, but even though the buildings were intact, they had been brought into the modern era, with up-to-date kitchens and plastic extensions, so the set was built at the studio.

Throughout the 20th century, cobbled streets were routinely replaced by various other road surfaces, namely tarmac and asphalt – and, of course, the scarcity of cobblestones now means that such streets are aesthetically desirable.  However, the cobblestones in Spinner’s End are not an indication of affluence, but an indication of an area left behind. This is further illustrated by the rusted railings, the broken streetlights, and the boarded up windows.

These were workers houses, often funded by the owners of the mill, and therefore tied – meaning that rent was deducted from your wage before you received it.  There were benefits to being in tied accommodation, including being close to work and having a guaranteed landlord – but that was as much benefit to the mill owner as the worker.  Seeing great competition, some mill owners invested in their properties to entice workers – but Spinner’s End is not an example of this; Spinner’s End would’ve been regarded as little better than a slum even when fully occupied.

The narrow streets are indicative of when these houses were built, presumably in the late 1800s – cars were not a concern, and the attitude was to build as many houses on as small a piece of land as possible.

By the time the 90s roll around, and we see Narcissa and Bellatrix descend upon the street, Spinner’s End appears to be mostly deserted.  With the closure of traditional manual industries, families would be keen to relocate to where work could be found.  Estates which hadn’t already been cleared by the 60s would find themselves left to rack and ruin, their former occupants long gone – whether seeking a new life elsewhere, or having died.

For once, Bellatrix is not being anti-Muggle when she sneers at the Muggle dunghill; she is unnervingly accurate. It is a slum by her standards, but most importantly, it was a slum by everyone else’s standards as well.  By the time Severus was born, work should’ve been well under way to clear the area, or to renovate it.  This evidently did not occur – which itself explains how undesirable the area is; nobody wanted to spruce it up - they wanted to leave.  There were no jobs, no amenities, no services – and eventually, no people.

We often ponder why Snape remains at Spinner’s End, but perhaps there lies the answer; he wasn’t just hiding from the magical world, but he was also hiding from the Muggle world as well…

[equna-deactivated20180414]

It always fucks me up when people and fanfictions ignore the fact that Snape was CANONICALLY born in a slum and lived his childhood in a slum. It is a part of his character that is so rarely explored in fics. Because from young Snapes’s point of view, even the Weasleys would have looked rich. And then he had to share dorms with people like Malfoys and Blacks. It just fucks me up.

[professormcguire]

The cycle of poverty that informs Snape’s behaviour and the classism inherent in the bullying that Snape experiences at Hogwarts are endlessly fascinating to me, and something that fandom as a whole does not take into account nearly enough.  I wrote once about the potential psychology behind Snape’s decision to remain in Spinner’s End, but this visceral – and historical – reminder of exactly how desperately poor the Snapes were is important.

Americans especially don’t have a native understanding of this – for Americans, these kinds of industrial slums were largely already a thing of the past by the 1950s, when America was experiencing a post-WWII economic boom.  This is not to say that no American in the 1950s was trapped in poverty, but overall American society was made richer by the war.  British society, on the other hand, was still recovering from wartime scarcity, rationing, and destruction, and industrial slums were still very much a part of its makeup.

The Snapes were poor in a way from which it was virtually impossible to escape.  The Snapes were not poor like the Weasleys, who are poor by wizarding standards but never go hungry and never live in literal filth.  The Snapes are poor by Muggles standards, by post-WWII Britain standards, by anyone’s standards.  The Snapes were the kind of poor that seeps into your pores at the earliest age and never leaves.  The kind of poor that informs almost everything about Snape, from his idolization of magical society, to the way he deals with social humiliation, to his arrogant rage masking a deep-seated self-hatred, and especially to his resentment of popular, loved, pampered, wealthy James Potter.

[solenyasasquatch]

I saw a post a few months ago that talked about how Snape going to Hogwarts was almost analogous to a poor kid in the UK getting a scholarship in a really fancy public school (like Eton) due to his intelligence but then gets bullied by the richer kids because he’s not one of them. It is a comparison that I found very interesting because of course in some of these private schools kids can get scholarships and stuff but they never truly belong in that same social circle, i.e. they would never go on nice fancy holidays or school trips etc. It is certainly an interesting mirror of Snape always seemed to struggle fitting in Hogwarts due to his poverty and I feel like its something thats very specific to the British social class system

[mollymcgiftens-deactivated20200]

This is very true. My partner was one. He was sufficiently impressive at primary school to be scholarshiped into the posh private school. He was even moved up a year as he was truly gifted. And it was unmitigated hell for him. Kids he grew up with shunned him as a class traitor, for putting on airs, for trying to advance out of a fairly shabby area. The kids at his school? Shunned him for being a jumped up oik reaching above his station. He was never one of them in their eyes. Despite his intelligence he did not go on the tertiary education. He was so beaten down by the expectations foisted on him and the social exclusion it entailed he went straight off to get a job as soon as he could. These are the ways that the classist segregation in the UK in the 1970s and 80s worked. I imagine they still work like that now. Severus would very much be in the same state of “crab bucket” but even worse because he cannot talk about his school, or his achievements. Middle class Lily going to a school for the gifted? Wouldn’t raise an eyebrow with the neighborhood gossips. Snape the gutter snipe going to a boarding school? The curtains wouldn’t stop twitching over it. And most of the people on his street would actively want him to fail. That lie about St Brutus secure school for the incorrigible would have been far more feasible and acceptable to the residents of Spinner’s End. It would satisfy their resentment of him “rising above” his natural station and confirm their prejudice that he’d come to a bad end. There is still a huge prejudice around poverty, the very concept of worthy and unworthy poor still permeates the media, any articles about poverty and the benefits system will be riddled with these underlying assumptions that the really poor, the most desperate and least likely to ever get out of the grinding poverty, have brought it upon themselves. They are often painted as deserving their misery. Severus position straddling both worlds but belonging to neither, not being welcomed on either side of the divide is truly one of the most resonant aspects of his character to me.

[deathdaydungeon]

You only have to look at George Osborne being given the nickname ‘oik’ in his days in the Bullingdon Club at Oxford University, for the crime of going to the third poshest school in the country (St Paul’s, rather than Eton or Harrow) and for his father being ‘in trade’.  His father, of course, founded Osborne & Little - and as the wikipedia article cites, Osborne holds a 15% stake in it, worth between £15m - £30m.

Indeed, you don’t have to go as far as public school for this to be true; Snape is of the grammar school era.  Snape is the kid who comes from the sink estate who passes his 11+ entrance exam against all odds.  When he reaches the school, where he’s fairly earned his place on intellectual merit (or in Hogwarts’ case, magical ability), he sticks out like a sore thumb.  He has the aptitude, but not the social background.

It’s why the depiction of James is equally important.  He’s similar to Snape in his magical ability - but he’s got the background that Snape hasn’t.  He’s wealthy, pampered, entitled.  James meets Snape and simply can’t comprehend why such a boy is also at the same school - remember, he meets Sirius at the same time, who also states that he’s from a Slytherin background and James’ reaction isn’t quite the same as it is with Snape.  “Blimey, and I thought you were all right.”  (or similar)  James had already made that value judgement; he’d already recognised that Sirius is from a similar sort of background.

When their journeys start, both boys are brimming with confidence (remember how Harry saw Snape by the river as cutting an impressive figure), but it doesn’t take long for James to be the boy who is regarded as popular, sporty, talented etc whilst Snape visibly wilts.  He’s twitchy, anxious, an oddball…as the text says, it’s as if he’s a plant kept in the dark.

Indeed, it’s no mistake that James - and in the modern era, Draco - is talented on a broom.  It’s no mistake that Harry, as a toddler, is given a broom.  It’s no mistake that the Weasley family are all talented with broom in hand, their prowess at Quidditch undeniable.  It’s no mistake then, that Snape picks up a broom and fails - some will claim it’s talent, but we see him mastering flight as an adult…it feels to me that this is a very clear indication that Snape wasn’t given the same opportunities.  He got to the school, but he didn’t have the extra-curricular assistance that others had the benefit of.  

There is a very important parallel that James and Sirius don’t accept Severus because Severus’ background makes him other - just as the Death Eaters and their ilk don’t accept Lily because Lily’s bloodline makes her other.

Snape succeeds against the odds - and what’s wholly tragic about the entire thing is that he succeeds against the odds because he’s a tool in the war.  He doesn’t become a professor, or a housemaster, or headmaster on merit.  He succeeds because he’s being used.  

[deathdaydungeon]

Saw this article on Moss Side in Manchester on BBC News, which feels pertinent to this discussion:

There was a rise in poverty in the whole of the North West in the 1970s, as a lot of jobs moved to London and old industries began to disappear.

A programme of “slum clearance” took place, where lots of working class people’s houses in the area were demolished.

“This forces people who are very happy to be in a place like Moss Side into different suburbs, away from their networks, churches, extended families and friends.

“So you see a very sudden rupture of strong communities,” says Dr Wildman.

I think a lot about the Cokeworth that Eileen Prince moved to when she first encountered the Muggle world, and the one her son was left with when he had sole occupancy of the family home in the 90s.  

[thegreenmeridian]

I grew up in a two-up-two-down, albeit one of the slightly nicer ones around Chatham Dockyard than the northern equivalent, but it was still as close to a slum as it could legally be. It had horsehair plaster walls, the indoor toilet was built in ‘84, and you had to go through my parent’s bedroom to get to it because it didn’t have a hallway upstairs, just bedrooms either side of the landing. Someone had pebbledashed the front of it for some reason but the time I was a kid half of it was falling off in chunks. We got one hot bath a week because the boiler was fucked, and winter baths happened by aggressively boiling the kettle (but you had to turn everything else off while you did it because otherwise the house would short out).

I also got into a grammar school when I was 11 and was one of three poor kids in my year and consistently got in trouble for not being able to afford the £150+ full PE kit or extra stuff for food tech. So yeah, I got a lot of feelings about Snape’s childhood.

[2peachy]

Many many many people pointed it out already, but the fact that posts like these about Musk seig heil-ing get almost 100k notes in 2 days while any other post about the rise of antisemitism and/or antisemitic incidents and attacks barely breaks the jumblr ceiling is very telling about tumblr's virtue signaling.

[2peachy]

ahhhh i really wanted to answer but then this person blocked me

anyway maybe if you were obsessed with jews any less you won't have to see so much of us @lizard-of-oz

[gingerswagfreckles]

BTW the "made up" thing about MIT students making Jews wear yellow badges is actually referring to the time UCLA students issued wristbands to Jewish students to indicate which ones were allowed to pass their encampment to go to class and got federally sued for civil rights violations as a result.

[gefiltefishdefender]

Non-Jews: please reach out to your Jewish friends tomorrow. They will need it.

I say it as someone who doesn’t expect any of my non-Jewish friends to do so, because they didn’t do it last year either. When I asked a couple of them about it, they said they didn’t know why it would affect me. They didn’t know why the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust would affect me more than them. So if you can, please hug your Jewish friends.

grafiti on a memorial in germany built in honor of non jewish women who protested against the persecution of their jewish family members, primarily their husbands, during the holocaust (german) (english)

The same night as the vandalism, an anti-Israel protest was held in the same borough, according to the Berlin Police. Law enforcement attempted to disperse the unauthorized protest at the Berlin Central Station but reportedly responded with by chanting anti-police and anti-Israel slogans. (X)

[spacelazarwolf]

can we talk about it yet? since more people are going from dogwhistle (“zionists”) to foghorn (straight up saying jews) are we allowed to maybe possibly just a teensy bit talk about the rampant antisemitism in the western antizionist movement?

[spacelazarwolf]

and to be very fucking clear, this is an unambiguous statement by the vandal that supporting or defending jews is going to be seen as complicity. this memorial is dedicated to non jews who put their lives on the line to try to save their jewish loved ones, and this graffiti very explicitly says “they shouldn’t have tried to save those jews because they didn’t deserve to be saved.”

[moniquill]

Here is a brief summary of what is happening in Wikipedia right now:

In the last few years (3-4 years) the WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America, which was originally created to improve the quality and coverage of native issues and native articles on wikipedia, has been hijacked by a small number of users with an extremist agenda. They have been working diligently over the last few years to change the definition of both what it means to be an Indigenous American and even what it means to be state and federally recognized.

The four or five key players (Mainly Editor Yuchitown, Bohemian Baltimore, ARoseWolf, (now retired editor CorbieVreccan, Netherzone and Oncamera) who are part of the “Native American Articles Improvement Project” started implementing these changes slowly, but they started pursuing their goals aggressively after November 2023, when state-recognized tribes retained their voting rights in NCAI. Essentially, after the movement to delegitimize state-recognized tribes failed officially, the key players doubled down on altering and controlling the flow of information about Native Americans through Wikipedia.

The talk page of Lily Gladstone’s article has a relevant discussion here. Initially, the leaders of the WikiProject removed any reference to her being a “Native American Actress” and instead had her as “Self-identifying as Blackfoot” and “Self-identifying as Nez Perce” because her blood quantum was too low to be enrolled in either tribe.

You can see some of the discussion here:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lily_Gladstone

Eventually they relented and changed her category to being “Of Nez Perce Descent” but you can see in the discussion that they are referring to an article that these editors (Yuchitown, Bohemian Baltimore, and CorbieVreccan) themselves appeared to have mostly written and revised:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_identity_in_the_United_States

This statement is very much at odds with even the government’s description, as seen below;

The DOJ Office of Tribal Justice Office on their webpage “Frequently Asked Questions About Native American”, question “Who is an American Indian or Alaskan Native” states:

“As a general principle, an Indian is a person who is of some degree Indian blood and is recognized as an Indian by a Tribe and/or the United States. No single federal or tribal criterion establishes a person's identity as an Indian. Government agencies use differing criteria to determine eligibility for programs and services. Tribes also have varying eligibility criteria for membership.”

In addition, “List” pages have been created on Wikipedia for federally and state recognized tribes. The Wikipedia “List” page for state-recognized tribes is inaccurate in its interpretation of state recognition and not supported by expert reliable sources--(1) Cohen’s Handbook of Federal Indian Law 2012 edition, (2) NCSL.org current stand on state recognition (not the archived list from 2017 which NCSL no longer supports), (3) Koenig & Stein’s paper “Federalism and the State Recognition of Native American Tribes: a survey of state-recognized tribes and state recognition processes across the United States” (both 2008 & updated 2013 in book “ Recognition, sovereignty struggles, and indigenous rights in the United States: A sourcebook”)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-recognized_tribes_in_the_United_States

State-recognized tribes who have received recognition through less formal but acceptable means have been moved from the Wikipedia list page on state-recognized tribes to the Wikipedia list page of unrecognized or self-identifying organizations.

The Wiki page "List of organizations that self-identify as Native American tribes", in particular, is being used to purposely defame legitimate Native American individuals who are members of the tribes/Native communities that are on this list. 

By the parameters set up on Wikipedia, only the colonizer’s governments can acknowledge who is Native American through either federal recognition or state recognition. If an individual is not a member of a federally or state-recognized tribe, then it is determined that they cannot be Native American and are, instead, considered “self-identifying” or only “a descendant of ...” (example Lily Gladstone). As a result, Native individuals are currently being tagged as “self-identifying” and their names are put on “list” pages that strongly imply they are “pretend” Indians.

These editors have indicated that they would like “self-identification” to be the default setting for any people who they deem do not fit within the parameters that they themselves created within Wikipedia.

Moreof, these editors are admin and senior editors within the Wikiproject Indigenous Peoples of North America, and are being called in specifically to weigh on Native Identity, and any project involving any Indigenous Group.

Any attempt to correct misinformation, add information, or change any of these articles is often met with being blocked, reported for various offenses, or reported for having a Conflict of Interest, whether or not that is actually applicable. They have use this strategically in many different pages for many different individuals and groups within the scope of their Wikiprojects.

While changing things in Wikipedia does not change the truth, it is a way to control how most people take in information, and thus they hope to manipulate the narrative to better suit their goals.

This is quick and messy but:

Here is a link to the google document with the other state recognized tribes (Including yours) that were edited by these editors. This is an incomplete list so far that only goes back to September 2023 but I am going to add to it. If you can add to your own part of this list, and send your complaints and information to the arbitrator committee (the email is below) with the involved editors, this will help our case.

The  more tribes who complain, and the more Wikipedia editors complain, the better our case will be. 

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YNDEjLTrrZ_mMIRCVxtvt69FwCYpJWKs71lBhWa5a9M/edit?usp=sharing

The place to make complaints on Wikipedia is oversight-en-wpwikipedia.org , and

arbcom-enwikimedia.org . It is most helpful to have an editing account on Wikipedia, because Yuchitown and the others will try to defend themselves using Wikipedia methodology and make anyone who confronts them look like the aggressor (see the other tribes who tried to fight back on Wikipedia I found).

The more people and tribes make complaints the more likely it is that this will work and we can rid ourselves of these monsters.

Some of the tribes I have spoken to are taking legal action against these editors. Any groups affected by their policies should also reach out to the news to make knowledge of this more widespread.

Thank you

@moniquill question. So over in Judaicaland we’re dealing with an influx of edits to pages on Jewish culture and identity that sound eerily similar to this. Like literally I was reading some of the wording you’re sharing and going “and where have I heard THIS in the last three weeks?”

Would it be worth it to see if there’s overlap between these malicious editors, and if so, make that an additional angle of approach? I feel like the more groups we can prove are being harmed, the more likely Wikipedia will be to remedy the issue. (It shouldn’t be that way, harm to one should count as harm to all, but unfortunately we live in the real world, not the country of Shouldbeandis.)

[moniquill]

Yes, that would be something very much worth looking into

[moniquill]

Update:

[moniquill]

Uptate 2: Another Wikiproject editor who may be involved is Doug Weller, who has recently been editing Jewish articles

Update 3:

Bohemian Baltimore is also involved in indigenous Australian topics so it extends to more than the US

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_May_17#Category:Extinct_Indigenous_peoples_of_Australia

Bohemian Baltimore has also made some edits against LGBT Wikipedia consensus and received some comments on it on his page for re-categorizing Aromantic and Asexual people as potentially being excluded from the LGBTQ+ community. 

Discussion below: 

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bohemian_Baltimore&diff=prev&oldid=1221854178#Aromanticism_and_Asexuality_are_the_A_of_LGBTQIA+_and_Intersex_is_the_I_and_is_inherently_an_LGBTQIA+_identity

What just happened is that Bohemian Baltimore, Oncamera, and Yuchitown in a three person "consensus" to change "citizen" to "member" for State recognized tribes, then Bohemian Baltimore created a new category for them, and reclassified all of their citizens with hyper speed. The discussion is still open.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Indigenous_peoples_of_North_America#c-Yuchitown-20240520000400-Oncamera-20240519193200

So at this moment it looks like they’re literally trying to erase concepts of indigeneity worldwide.

WE NEED A CELT TO CHECK ON THE CELTIC ISLES ARTICLES. Someone with knowledge of Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and the smaller Celtic nations. I’d do it if I had more knowledge of the area.

And what do we do to stop them, re: the rest?

Just flipping through Bohemian Baltimore's last couple of days of edits made my eyebrows shoot way up. They seem, like, deeply invested in editing the "Ashkenormativity" article, which. Like. Just struck me as odd, in context of this discussion.

[lacewise]

I do just want to document (if that’s okay) that CorbieVreccan added wording deeply implying Rebecca Roanhorse, an Afro-Indigenous science fiction author, is pretending to be Native because she isn’t enrolled, and was adopted by white parents. There have been multiple discussions (and I mean I’ve witnessed at least ten separate ones just online) about how difficult it is for Black Natives to get enrolled or stay enrolled, even when being disenrolled goes against the tribe’s own enrolment criteria.

It might be worth it to see if there’s a trend of anti-Black discrimination as well.

[jewishpangolin]

Uh, what parallel universe did this person come from? If anything, Wikipedia is biased against Israel (and BB has done some pretty sus editing in that area, though they're far from the worst). There were people trying to get the article on sexual violence in the October 7 attacks to be changed to "Alleged sexual violence", and it was only prevented by editors who saw that this was bs and stood up to it. Jews used to be on the "list of indigenous peoples" page, but were repeatedly removed. There's a campaign by many of these same editors to try and smear Zionism as "antisemitic" (some people support Israel and also hate Jews. It doesn't mean the movement itself is antisemitic).

Also it's literally super easy to edit almost everything on Wikipedia (whether it'll stay edited, or someone will revert it, is more iffy). The only restrictions are some pages need an account to edit, and some more contentious topics (like I/P) require accounts to have at least 30 days and 500 edits. Given how an edit can be something as simple as fixing a typo or adding a category, you can easily reach 500 in no time.

I wish more of the left would honest about their antisemitism. You don't get to cheer on a mass slaughter of Jews, chant antisemitic slogans, spread blood libel and conspiracy theories against any Jewish person you don't like, support "protests" harassing Jewish businesses and Holocaust museums, (at best) deny a year-long global spike in antisemitic hate crimes, and then get big mad when people point out your antisemitism.

if everyone could stop acting surprised by posts about antisemitism (esp leftist antisemitism) being dated before 2023, that would be great.

we've been warning all of you for years now. just because you woke up this year (and that's perfectly fine) does not mean any of this is new.

these pro pally protests and the wording/phrasing, etc have been around for a long time.

ive already made a post sorta about this but if you reblogged something about boycotting Hogwarts Legacy or JKR because of the goblins but you haven't reblogged anything about the Nazi chants and salutes at the Olympics

You're a fucking awful ally to Jewish people and the antisemite is in the room

To the people in the notes, if this is the first time the news is hitting your dash maybe you should consider why all the people who normally put this kind of thing into your dash declined to do so this time, because I’ve been seeing posts about it since it happened.

Oh hey it's the 2nd of August. It's international Romani genocide memorial day. 79 years and still the vast majority of countries don't give a fuck about it nor recognize it. Hell on Earth everywhere

It's been 80 years since the Nazis liquidated the Romani family camp in Auschwitz, killing 4,000 people in a single night. Most countries don't recognize it and most European countries continue to treat us like shit
