FINALLY

One of the things I like about this: they’re doing it without shouting down women.

Because “that doesn’t happen to guys” *IS* a feminist issue. Male victims of abuse being dismissed, blamed or ridiculed because they weren’t “manly” enough is a part of patriarchy. And you can raise awareness of that without dismissing other feminist issues or bringing it up as a “counter argument” to problems women face.

MRAs, take note. This is how you actually support men’s rights.

ladies, its time to stop “weaponizing” our looks and start wearing actual weapons. forget winging your eyeliner sharp enough to kill a man and invest in some steel toe boots.

[fromstolenland]

Sharp eyeliner and steel-toed boots are a classic pairing.

Hey sorry to make this post again

As an update to this post, I’m happy to stay that I have a place secured to stay starting on Monday (hopefully!) but I’ve run into a problem.

on top of the 200$ deposit I’ve already made, theyre asking for an additional 200$ deposit as well as the first month’s rent all due by the move in date (October 15th). Which comes up to a fat total of 803.22$ due in the next 2 days and I’ve only got like 320$ on hand, and I need to make the last payments for me to stay in this hotel for a few more days.

If I can get any help with this I’d appreciate it.

Seeing some people on Tumblr still bitching about how it’s too late for voting and the only thing that will fix things is revolution.

How about you fucking vote anyway? It’s not going to seriously cut into your “sitting on the couch waiting for a revolution to start” time.

There’s no “none of the above” option here. You want a revolution, fine, but there’s still little shit to do in the meantime.

You can vote AND protest. They’re not exclusive. Hell, you can even protest the person you voted for when they fuck up. You’re not signing a blood oath with your ballot. But a desire for an ideologically pure candidate or nothing only serves the status quo right now.

#voting for someone and then immediately protesting the person you voted for is the only moral decision actually

stans really couldn’t wait for their number one white woman to finally speak out about politics just so they could praise her as a #woke queen - despite the fact that she stayed silent for years and refused to use her platform for anything involving equality because she knew most of her coins came from republicans.

[bbhateblog-deactivated20230107]

Remember when she sued a journalist who asked her why she didn’t disassociate with her white supremacist fans who were calling her an aran queen? …She sued a black woman instead of saying “nazis, I’m not with you”

[bitterjuries]

tea! i remember the aclu had to even step in to protect that journalist from being sued for “defamation”. just goes to show how quickly people forget for the sake of stanning.

From the Liberals new marijuana law, they’re creating new criminal offences.

If you give or sell cannabis to youth or use youth to break a cannabis related offence you could face 14 years in prison. The same 14 year maximum penalty will apply to bringing marijuana across international borders.

[beebeebumblin]

An identical situation of selling tobacco to a minor would only have someone in jail for a year at most with the least being a 2000 dollar fine, and in many provinces it’s only a fineable offence (more info here ). When it comes to alcohol the maximum sentence is also one year and the least being a 2000 dollar fine. And most of these fines go towards the establishment that employs the person responsible. What situation makes 14 years a resonable threat?

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Since Cannabis will be legal this week in Canada (October 17th), just a reminder that the drug will not be completely legal in all situations, and some of these situations could result in hefty jail time.

Also here’s some more of this absurdity:

Wait… isn’t Canada treaty land?

[momir]

Yes, but the left only cares about native issues when its politically expedient.

[beardedrebutterofafkar]

Gotcha. I thought as much but wasn’t sure.

[effectiveresistance]

Nope! Actually about half of so-called “Canada” is completely unceded, including “Vancouver”. Meaning that the Canadian state has no jurisdiction over these sovereign nations, and only holds on to control through military occupation. But as we see in the northwest, and elsewhere across the country, many Indigenous nations are starting to liberate their territories of the colonial state. 

And of those pre-confederate treaties that where signed, every single one has been broken by the colonizers, which then nullifies them.

Due to losing two groundbreaking court cases, and continually breaking international law (for whatever that’s worth), the colonizers have been actively engaging in a modern day treaty process that:

many grassroots Natives oppose (…) because it’s 1) a fraudulent process negotiated between government funded and imposed band councils and the provincial and federal governments (meaning these are not treaties between sovereign nations), and 2) it is part of the state’s long term strategy of legal, political and economic assimilation through which bands will no longer be under the Indian Act and reserve lands are transformed to fee simple property which can be bought, sold or leased like any other property, and 3) it is part of the overall “self-government” policy which ends with bands self-managing their own oppression.  ***

Revolutionaries, whether they identify as anarchists or Indigenous militants, are daily in perpetual conflict with the colonial state. We refuse to ever forget the horrors perpetuated by the colonizers or the life that they attempted to erase to build this mechanized existence we find ourselves in. Indigenous rebels have been involved in countless anarchist projects around here, and vise versa.  We live with and fight alongside one another, in autonomous communities and on flaming barricades all across this country. If anything, the odd time we have to deescalate hostilities towards the colonial state, say to go to court or deal with some other theft or oppression, is being “politically expedient”, but never the contrary. There isn’t a moment that goes by where we forget whose land we’re on, the relationships we have, or the histories here. Please feel free to explain otherwise since you felt so willing to make such a heedless comment.

I live in Treaty 7 lands (Calgary in the red area).  The groups here only signed the treaty because the alternative was starvation and being murdered.  American raiders would attack constantly and they wanted the Canadian military to protect them.  Many had lived in the USA but fled  up here because of campaigns to kill them all down south.  Also the Canadian government did not live up to the agreements whatsoever.  (Those who negotiated them thought they would be)  John A MacDonald intentionally tried to starve the Blackfoot Confederacy to death - after they signed a treaty promising them food, education, etc. I worked at Heritage Park as a “Mountie” (a historical theme park) and had the treaty on the wall.  Also my binder of information included letters mounties sent being like “Where is the food I am supposed to give these people?” and were ignored because the government in Ottawa wanted the natives to die.  Documents show John A Macdonald wanted them to starve to death so white settlers could move in. The Blackfoot had been nomadic hunters.  But were placed in “Reservations” (aka concentration camps) and not allowed to leave.

LNG Canada was just approved. Fuck Canada! No pipelines on stolen Indigenous land!

[equality-is-anarchy]

Canada is an evil mess of genocide and exploitation dressed up in a suit of “good maners” and “progressive politics”. Both of which are utterly false and if you spend litteraly 2 minutes researching Canadian history and politics you’ll understand that.

[dyalani]

Our main government building is on unceded Algonquin land. They literally say this in Parliament.

And yeah, John A McDonald wanted the Indigenous people gone. It’s why he set up the Residential School system and Indian Act as well. He literally wanted them either gone or culturally dead and absorbed into the white supremacist vision he had for Canada.
