Stop playing games, stop watching movies, stop following football matches, stop listening to music... Leave them alone, even if only for a minute. Sit with yourselves for a minute and think carefully: Do we deserve to die? Do we deserve to live this life? If the answer is no, then do something for us. Either donate, participate, or do anything that makes us feel that you are with us and not leaving us alone in front of the genocidal criminals.
I am a person who wants to complete my education, and my life is very similar to yours. The difference is that I was born in Gaza, so I need you to contribute in any way so that I can live a safe life and protect myself and my family from death and malnutrition. I should not die at the hands of the Zionists. Please stand by me.
If you think my fundraising campaign is for individuals and would like to donate and help more people, or if you just want to help as many people as possible at once, my campaign has a large number of beneficiaries. You can donate here. My family and I need a lot just to survive. Just being displaced from northern Gaza to the south cost us $7,000 in three days.
Today's news made me even happier because it talks about the end of the war and Trump's statement that the genocide will end soon. Will it end soon? My family and I are eagerly awaiting this news. Can you donate to me and my family so we can leave Gaza after the war ends? Please donate so we can live in peace outside Gaza. We want to live a good life free from wars and destruction. We want to build beautiful memories again. Please donate to us.
Come on, please donate now. If each of my followers donates $10, we will collect this amount tonight. Please donate now to save Nader.
@innerchildabortionclinic @omegaversereloaded @beetledrink @amygdalae @nyancrimew @tamamita
Why is no one share? Please, my friend, please share Please donate. Don't stop supporting us. Please share and donate.
Nader is going through something unimaginable right now. Can you think of one treat or non-necessity that you could give up in the next week to make it possible to help this young person and his family?
Please, live your values. We owe real solidarity, solidarity backed up by actions, to our community members like Nader who are struggling under a genocide led by the USA and its allies.
Please save us, we are not to blame for all this. Please, we do not want to be victims. We want to survive and live a normal life. Please donate to us.
I beg you all to help my friend Nader and his family if you can. Even a small donation gets them just a little bit closer to safety.
Please donate, don't leave us. Please, please donate. I am very tired. I can no longer bear all this pressure on my head. I am tired of this suffering. Please help us, even a little.
Come on everyone please don't stop sharing and donate to us please help us we are dying here please get us out please donate to us so that we are safe please donate now
Guys why are you ignoring us we need your support please stop ignoring us please donate to us your donations save us please donate
I beg you guys to participate now and donate. Don't ignore us. Don't let us suffer. You are our hope. Please donate to us. Please.
I got a little upset
There is a pervasive ideological construction that someone either deserves autonomy or support, but that these are mutually exclusive.
This artificial construction is extremely present when it comes to discourses about age and ability. People will discuss taking away choices or censoring information as "protecting" young and disabled people, and will discuss taking away material support as a necessary exchange for decision making (e.g. "if you live under my roof, you live under my rules"--a threat that asserting autonomy comes at the cost of homelessness). This dynamic is so foundational to the oppression of children that even when applied to adult groups we use words like paternalism and infantilization to communicate that a group of adults is being treated "like children."
Whenever you demand autonomy, people use this as justification to withdraw resources and care. Whenever you express your need for resources and care, people use this as justification to withdraw bodily autonomy. In reality, all people deserve bodily autonomy and care. And in reality, oppressed people are routinely denied both.
The ongoing genocide of Palestinians is perhaps the most extreme and acute expression of the oppression of young and disabled people in the world right now.
This past December, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (a nonprofit based in Gaza) published a report titled Generation Wiped Out: Gazaās Children in the Crosshairs of Genocide. In this report, they explain how children are specific and intentional targets in this genocide:
"The targeting of children in the Gaza Strip constitutes a central element of a systematic genocide. Since the onset of Israelās genocidal campaign on 07 October 2023, Israeli leaders have explicitly expressed their intent to annihilate Gaza, including children... a deliberate intent to target children as part of a broader plan to erase and eradicate Palestinian identity and destroy future generations... The report examines these crimes through the lens of Israeli practices and policies since 07 October 2023, materialized by the unprecedented killing of children, causing them severe bodily harm through grave injuries and arbitrary detention. It also highlights the infliction of profound psychological harm. Furthermore, it delves into systematic policies aimed at their destruction, including the weaponizing starvation, the denial of appropriate medical treatment and adequate healthcare, and forced displacement accompanied by deprivation of food, medical care, and shelter. Additionally, it addresses the restriction of childrenās right to education."
Make no mistake that this genocide is the ultimate form of the annihilation of resources, care, and autonomy for children, and by extension for all Palestinians who are subject to the most brutal and extreme forms of paternalistic, disabling racialization.
We all need to hold solidarity with the young, disabled people in Palestine. This solidarity is essential to global liberation.
My friend Ahmed Aldani is a disabled teenager living in Gaza right now.
His lifelong disability caused by exposure to gas from a phosphorus bomb before he was even born, and over the course of his life he has experienced additional disabling traumas. Two years ago Israel bombed his home, and more recently even his family's tent was damaged in another bombing.
If it wasn't hard enough to sleep while constantly waking from vivid nightmares, reptiles and poisonous insects easily get into the tent every night. His brother is injured and needs medical attention (a single tablet of his medicine costs ā¬20 euros), and they cannot even afford enough to eat anymore. He is starving, living with constant headaches, dizzy from the lack of nutrition and calories.
Ahmed is a really wonderful person, and deserves resources, support, care, and autonomy. We can be part of a collective community of adults who can help give him some relief and control over his life. Please donate to him.

Acting as if the majority of Marxist criticisms of modern China come from the west and not from India, Nepal and the Philippines is always an interesting omission Marxist-Leninists make when itās the semi-regular period of pretending only westerners are critical of Chinaās role in the global capitalist economy again, or that itās necessarily a āAmerica and China are the sameā criticism which again is a very interesting omission of the Communist Party of India (Maoist) and the Communist Party of the Philippinesās written critiques.
At least engage with what criticisms actually exist like a real materialist instead of this really pathetic avoidance of third world Maoist criticisms of China (while presenting the majority of critics as westerners!) so you can more easily make your half-informed dunks on the internet. You know, Marx and Lenin actually would tear apart essays line by line. Thatās respectable, what yāall are doing is not. Itās intellectually lazy.
Before you admonish any and every socialist criticism of China as "inherently western" maybe you should familiarize yourself on what third world revolutionaries are actually saying.
Communist Party of India (Maoist) on China's role in the global economy and its relationship to revolutionary movements in Asia ('China: A Modern Social-Imperialist Power'): https://www.bannedthought.net/India/CPI-Maoist-Docs/Books/China-Social-Imperialism-CPI-Maoist-2021-Eng-view.pdf
Communist Party of the Philippines's Critical Annotations of Xi Jinping's Anniversary Speech: https://www.cpp.ph/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/critical-annotations-xijinping-speech.pdf
You, as a marxist, shouldn't be attacking strawmans but directly addressing the criticisms of third world revolutionaries, like a real materialist does.
Make sure you say "I wonder what they're doing right now..." about your comic relief friends every now and then so the episode can cut to their B plot

Wish i was british so i could cheekily pop in to Tescos. But theres no such thing as that here..here in America we're lucky just to toil, to scrape our worthless barely breathing forms against the vast bowels of the machine, an approximation of sub-life, and utterly unknown to the pleasures of the meal deal
So, you know how certain Christian missionaries are trained to act in a very obnoxious way, so that most people they preach to will reject them outright, so they feel like the world hates them for being Christian and they can only be friends with fellow Christians? You know that thing?
I think as activists, we sometimes need to stop and ask ourselves whether we're acting like those missionaries. I think this type of behavior is a little more ingrained into our society than some of us realize, and some of us have internalized it without realizing what it's actually meant to do.
OP I know that this is probably a different direction than you were going, but genuinely this advice would do so so much to help people not fall into secular political cults.
A lot of high control groups use this tactic to isolate their members. Itās absolutely not just evangelizing Christians. New age wellness cults often encourage their members to make outlandish and offensive accusations regarding the mental and physical health of other people or their children, because they know that the backlash their members receive will reinforce the idea that the āmainstreamā simply has no room for people who like crystals and essential oils. White supremacist cults will seed the vocabulary of new recruits with Nazi dog whistles that fly over those recruits heads, specifically so that they will get clocked as possible neo-Nazis and shunned by anyone who might offer them another perspective and help them to get out before itās too late. And a lot of left-leaning political cults strongly encourage members to share their views in the most inflammatory ways possible, and then say āyou see? everyone outside of this small circle is evil and cannot be relied onā when, inevitably, that produces bad results.
Sometimes I think that activists fall into these patterns completely accidentally, either because they were raised in culturally Christian evangelical environments and never unpacked it, or else because they just arenāt any good at approaching things in a non-inflammatory way and no oneās shown them how.
ā¦But sometimes, these structures emerge in activist circles because those circles are legitimately becoming high control groups.
I think some things to watch out for especially in this regard are:
Are you being directed to behave in an extremely hostile and alienating way? (even if itās by someone who you trust!)
Does the group you are in immediately shut down any conversation about the effectiveness of an antagonistic strategy? In particular, do they shut that conversation down using in-group stock phrases?
Is experiencing harsh rejection seen as something of a rite of passage?
Do you receive more validation from the group you are in after you have been rejected by someone outside the group than at any other time?
Have you ever been concerned that the antagonistic strategy you are using hurt someone you cared about, only to be quickly advised by members of the group that that person was toxic and that you should actually completely cut them out of your life?
These to me are all pretty significant red flags about the group in question, whatever the specific thing that brings people together there is. If you start noticing them in a group that you are a part of, be that an in-person activist circle or a Discord server or anything in between, take a step back and seriously consider the possibility that the good thing that you joined is turning into something different, and possibly dangerous.
In the words of Jonestown survivor Deborah Layton, āNobody joins a cult. You join a self-help group, a religious movement, a political organization. They change so gradually, by the time you realize youāre entrapped ā and almost everybody does ā you canāt figure a safe way back out.ā
So a white woman was recently caught on camera calling a 5 year old the n-word multiple times at a playground, and then used it a few more times when confronted by an adult. She also said if the 5 YEAR OLD CHILD didn't want to be called the n-word "he should not have been acting like one"
Now she's set up a gofundme FOR ONE MILLION DOLLARS to "protect her family" which has been picked up by the right-wing podcast circuit and has attracted the exact kind people you think. Donating amounts like $1488 and calling bipoc "savages" and "animals", straight up reciting the 14 words, and quoting MLK Jr as a backhanded justification.
Remember a time when saying a racial slur even in the past was ground for at the very least social scorn? Now people like this feel emboldened. I feel like it's only going to get worse.
This was on the same day that the Trump administration ended school desegregation in Louisiana
