the media: “but the palestinians were holed up inside the mosque-“
girl it’s called ITIKAF what is wrong with you people
for people who don’t know (which is apparently the whole world and every news station), itikaf is a practice of quiet spiritual reclusion performed during ramadan. people will stay inside the mosques throughout the entire night to worship and perform extra prayers
so, yeah, worshippers were “holed up” inside the mosque, it’s literally a religious practice performed during ramadan across the entire world. i’ve participated in it as well, it’s extremely common. i know people who will spend days at a time inside a mosque and not come out while practicing itikaf
now the question you should be asking is why the military is invading a sacred place of prayer in the middle of the night and beating, tear-gassing, and brutalizing the men, women, children, and elderly who were worshipping God in our holiest month and in one of our holiest places. they even destroyed the free medical clinic inside the compound and started fires
the question you should be asking is why the world makes excuses for this unprovoked violence, or worse, believes it to be deserved
Imagine leaving the house to go pick up your meds…then be told you’re faking illness. Damn.
you're just never going to have a realistic analysis of capitalist food production until you really process that farm owners are not the working class, the people who work on those farms are. this should be evident in the term "factory farm" drawing a straightforward comparison with factories (owned by capitalists, worked in by workers), but many people still have this idea that any opposition to these large companies is inherently opposition to the individual workers who are exploited there.
when there are so many people who understand that criticizing Amazon is not being against people who work in warehouses, but believe that criticizing Cargill Meat Solutions is harming poor workers, idk what to say except you are not immune to propaganda
at some point we are going to have to acknowledge that there is no reason to believe anything the US government claims about national security. literal wars have been waged on "threats" that were determined to be lies. ultimately national security is a very easy go-to excuse for otherwise controversial legislation. you as an average citizen have no evidence the government is telling the truth, but they can just say "well we can't share top secret intelligence".
Capitalism only values nature by how it can be exploited.
Case in point.
People in my replies be like “bUt wHaT aBoUt fRuIt TrEes and CaMpInG GrOuNdS”. Yes that’s pretty much my point. Trees are only valuable if you can make money off them or hijack them for human activities, rather than because they literally sustain life on earth.
In capitalism’s eyes, everything is but a tool or resource to make profit. Workers and nature alike. A forest is not inherently “valuable” to a capitalist; individual people are treated as “human resources” and labour for 8 - 13 hours per day, most days of their life, until they’re physically too old to continue.
We will only attain a better world when nature and people become inherently valuable, rather than something to exploit.
Forests help stabilize the climate of the whole PLANET and that should be ENOUGH but also there should not BE an enough because LIFE SIMPLY IS ALIVE FOR NO REASON AND THIS IS SACRED thank you
tumblr polls have amplified the human need to vote on things. this place just became the roman senate
friend was lamenting the lack of girls in the shonen she was watching so I had some advice for her
the ruling class will do whatever it can to snuff out what little power you have, and to render you inescapably and utterly enslaved
It’s a War on Children. It’s a War on Communities. It’s a War on Working People. It’s a War on Humanity. It’s a War on YOU!
And a war on Mexicans and other Latina/o undocumented folx!
News article from Global:
Packers Sanitation Services, Inc. is accused of using child labour for overnight shifts in slaughterhouses and meatpacking facilities.
When people talk about human trafficking, they rarely talk about labor trafficking, but it is the MOST COMMON form of trafficking happening in the US.
