Talking about recession indicators at this point is like going "I think we might have hit something." When the Titanic is fully vertical.

Just saw a petition in a group chat about "don't bring ICE to Europe!" and I felt insane for a minute. We already have militarised borders and concentration camps for migrants and we let people die in the sea and we banish people to unfamiliar countries and we brutalise them and we terrorise them and we detain and deport them!! The UK and the EU are not the liberal paradises we pretend they are!! Our borders kill people!! We don't need a petition to keep US violence away, we need to organise against the European violence we already have!!

[deadbirds-and-daydreams]

The amount of pictures of people dying in boats trying to get to europe. and the amount of few survivors who then get denied put into prisons (remembering the harlem panopticon where we put immigrants for a while. and i do mean like an actual literal panopticon.) or camps and then send back. and why? because some europeans are so fucking racist and xenophobics theyd rather see their fellow men die than to have absolutely nothing change in their lifes to help these people survive. Words will never be enough to explain my rage for how EU has treated people like absolute fucking cattle. all my life the news here. the politicians. the US is a shithole. the EU is a shithole but tries a lot harder to hide it. theres so much blood on these hands. its sickening.

I keep remembering that fucking post about "Uwu look at Europe's beautiful open borders!!!!" With pictures of a little boundary stone in a field in Belgium or a line painted on a road in Luxembourg, that was circulating around the same time as yet another overloaded boat had been turned back by Greek or Italian coastguards in the middle of the Mediterranean and the International Community(TM) had collectively shrugged when bits of it started washing up in the Greek islands.

The way that Europe has sold itself as such a fluffy woo Good Vibes Only Continent should be studied.

I just want to add this, because I think it's immensely important in these conversations and because it took me 45 minutes to track it down.

How Europe Outsourced Border Enforcement to Africa

The European Union is militarizing Africa's internal borders to curb migration, with little regard for human rights.

you'll be happier and more present when you touch the world around you like you're a little bit in love with it (close the door gently, walk slower, listen)

"queer-owned business" means nothing anymore. OpenAI and Palantir are both queer-owned businesses.

I haven’t even seen this movie but I need you to see this Letterboxd review of The Housemaid - the discord server I’m in and I have been losing our minds over it

[loveridden1999]

one thing you should know about me is that i condone violence

[loveridden1999]

this is not a joke to me btw. i genuinely support violence because no true liberation can be achieved without violence. you're a terrorist in eyes of state when you challenge a colonial power. as Malcolm X once said "You don't get freedom peacefully. Freedom is never safeguarded peacefully. Anyone who is depriving you of freedom isn't deserving of a peaceful approach by the ones who are being deprived of their freedom. The only way you can have peace is to eliminate those injustices and the American white man is not going to eliminate them, he's going to talk that pretty talk but he'll still continue to participate in those inhuman deeds." and when Kwame Ture said "In order for non-violence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none, has none." and when Martin Luther King Jr. said “Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.” and when Frantz Fanon said “Decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.” and when Subhas Chandra Bose said “Give me blood, and I will give you freedom.”

I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

you cannot make a post about how men put women in certain boxes without someone going "but what if i love the box? what if i've decided that it's comfortable in the box? are you gonna tell me i'm not ALLOWED to like the box? not very feminist of you to police a woman's decisions... maybe you'd be less ugly and miserable if you stopped talking about the box LMFAO #Girlboss #MyBox<3"
