The world has irrevocably changed 😃

Wait this one’s even better. It literally isn’t an option.

[el-shab-hussein]

My mother didn't have a choice in being a refugee, she was the daughter of a genocide survivor, and frankly she was a genocide survivor herself. She moved her entire family to the imperial core. I can both be a genocide survivor, a victim of the Western empire, and also be a beneficiary of it by becoming a citizen of the Western empire, with a Western passport, a Western citizenship, access to the resources only available through Western plunder of the Third World which includes both of my home countries. My income is funding the bombing of my friend's little brother's school. My income is funding the genocides of Palestine and Lebanon that is killing many of my friends and their loved ones in Ghazzah. And on my own I can't fucking stop this slaughter. This isn't a privilege I would ever fucking deny but the fact that I see this stupid fucking discourse on the daily is driving me fucking insane. You can claim to be 'anti-imperialist' all you want but denying these basic fucking facts makes you an imperialist. Stop making your cognitive dissonance the problem of the Third World and be better than this. There is no free Palestine if this continues, if you all continue to deny the part everyone in the imperial core plays in benefitting from genocide and plunders the world over.

I am both a victim of imperialism and one of its beneficiaries by virtue of being embedded in the imperial core, REGARDLESS of the fact my rights are far lower than the most privileged subclass of the imperial core. It is clear however that a lot of you have yet to understand this is possible and to understand your own position as an individual within global material relations.

[el-shab-hussein]

The reality is my friends are being bombed with the full force of the Western imperial arsenal EVERY SINGLE DAY and I'm not. That is a privilege I wouldn't have if I wasn't in the imperial core.

If being in the imperial core wasn't such a massive improvement in living conditions we wouldn't be dying by the millions every year in our countries and we certainly wouldn't be dying by the millions just to work under the table for less than minimum wage to serve you when we make it to the imperial core.

I want all of my mutuals to thrive and be happy

[transsexualpuffin]

if you mean billionaires, say billionaires

if you mean CEOs, say CEOs

if you mean corrupt politicians, say corrupt politicians

remove the word elite from your vocabulary if you want to not sound identical to every antisemitic conspiracy theorist ever

[transsexualpuffin]

it’s so hard to exist in leftist spaces when you know literally anything about antisemitic dogwhistles. i’ll go into any socialist space online or in person and not be able to stick around for more than a minute before i see them railing against The Elites.

[khoesib]

Just gonna nip this one in the bud and point out that OP is a Zionist who has said some very disgusting openly anti-Palestinian sentiment. Calling victims of the Zionist genocide "scammers" and follows quite virulent Jewish supremacists like "shofarsogood" who's blog you can just search "Palestine" on to see their opinions on the settler state.

To them this kind of rhetoric is more acceptable than leftists using the incorrect terms or phrases which is the most pressing thing of all time.

July Update

Thank you to everyone who helped me last month. I'm sorry for the delay in posting again. I've been dealing with depression and symptoms that point to my endometriosis worsening (daily bleeding since late May, pain, fatigue, etc). Tests need to be done to confirm what's going on. I have not received any contract assignments this month and I still await a response for my disability appeal. If anyone has anything to spare, I'm raising money for bills, transportation, and groceries this month.

GOAL: $40/650 CAD

Will update again as soon as I am able. Thank you for reading this and thinking of me. This is a scary and difficult time.

[ramdaughter]

Wasted money travelling to two failed blood draws and I have to appeal for disability support a second time. The daily bleeding and pain seems to be getting worse. But life goes on. Rent is due this week and I have to attend medical appointments and a mandatory caseworker meeting. Genuinely any contribution to my goal will help a great deal. Thank you for your consideration!

How is the bar this low and all the alternatives are somehow worse. Fucking hell world. Black girls and tgirls and Black tgirls I'm so sorry we have to deal with this shit

[morganitism]

They're regularly terminating transfems within 24 hours of remaking while ghosting my multiple reports about someone calling me the hard r and advocating for genocide of Black and Brown people

[girlbloggerlenin]

yanks and impcorers in general who pretend to be anti-imperialists only to get on the defensive when you imply they benefit from living in the impcore are the weakest links i s2g.

you don't get to make fun of israelis playing the victim and then act like you're not doing the same thing when you engage in intellectual dishonesty whenever you're being confronted with uncomfortable truths about your status, and how the relative comfort you experience rests upon the exploitation of the global south.

wisen up and stop treating the idea that you do have privilege from being an impcorer despite the marginalization you might experience as a sin instead of a simply put, a fact.

if you refuse to fully examine your objective position as an impcorer and resort to self-victimization instead, then you're not acting in solidarity with imperialized countries and the workers living there. simply put, you're just a chauvinist in denial who wants to look "progressive" and save face as resentment towards the west for its impunity intensifies.

[sudaca-swag]

the countries they're calling the racist hellholes vs the actual racist hellholes

[vore-sistren]

Im so sorry, if im misreading, but is this post implying that racism can be measured by legal positions on miscegenation?

I think thats a very nebulous and insufficient way to think about what is racism. Surely the more important measures of racism as a structural ill would analyse land rights and dispossession as well as labour rights and exploitation since those are the material pretexts for racism.

If you leave them alone, these indie creators would be crusading against libraries and against the global south's right to access knowledge. Never concede.

I see that "learned helplessness" is the hot new psychological term getting wildly misused. the phrase you're looking for is "weaponized incompetence," babes

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

weaponized incompetence is when your partner does chores shitty on purpose so that you stop asking them to do chores. learned helplessness is when you've experienced so much trauma that you've developed the mindset that you can't meaningfully change your situation and have become accordingly passive.

if your partner is exhibiting learned helplessness they aren't manipulating you, they're displaying a trauma response.
