Excerpts from The Woman Dies by Aoko Matsuda

butch-king-frankenstein

"The Woman Dies" is a short story, not a poem.

Interesting how the only part of it people share is the opening three paragraphs, conveniently excising the parts that talk explicitly about rape, as well as the parts that display an explicitly Japanese viewpoint.

JAJAJAJA VEO QUE EN AO3 VIENE NORMAL LA COSA

#ojalá la argentina nunca se medique

manu-script

the recent trend to hate on argentina and to characterize doing so as woke has allowed many first worlders to show their true colors. as soon as you all seem to get the 'green light' that hating on a third world country is acceptable you stop hiding your disdain and xenophobia. this and the "calling ice" jokes show you don't actually give two shits about racism or cheating or whatever, you just want a socially acceptable way to hate on latin americans

Without risking having to hand over my woke card, I think the Argentine right's obsession with the Falklands and the banner incident at the end of the match are pathetic displays of fascism and the symptom of capitalism failing in Argentina. This does not mean we should wish ill on them. This does not mean we should bring out the old banners from 1982. "Hurhur we ought to let them have another crack at the islands, see if we can't beat them again! Send us another Belgrano!" Fuck off. Another Falklands war would be bad for The UK, Argentina and the Falklands. Everybody loses.

manu-script

first off who the fuck asked this post never mentions the Malvinas. this post is about first worlders feeling comfortable talking like this about third world countries cause a twitter thread told them it was okay

the Malvinas aren't an "argentina's right's obsession", over 300 young men and dare I say kids died on that war fuck you

"the banner incident" why is a fuck you to british imperialism (which, no, wasn't against the rules because the match had already ended) treated like a display of fascism??? do you know what words mean???

hand over your woke card if this is how you treat a latin american country standing up against imperialism

actually fucking crazy how many usamericans and europeans ive been seeing hating on latam since this world cup started. i have literally cut ties with people i previously considered friends because of this racist bullshit.

say it with me folks: its! still! racist! to! send! threats! to! argentina! even! if! its! trendy! now!

if youre saying shit like youre glad that theres children starving, youre actually just a cunt. im legitimately embarrassed to be english because this racism is blatant and disgusting. im actually tired of being quiet on this now. yall are hurting some of the people i consider my dearest friends for the crime of existing and its bullshit. im gonna speak up every fucking time and if you feel the need to say shit about argentinians, or any latam countries for that matter, your ass is getting blocked and reported

I deleted my original post on this because it was hasty and ignorant and centred the west, but I continue to receive anon hate about it so I'm going to make the mistake of re-adressing it.

I do not think that the Falklands/Malvinas are inherently British, I do not believe the British empire has a right to them or to any other land. I support any movements within the islands for independence as I support any movement for independence from Britain, anywhere in the world.

My perception that the idea of Argentina claiming the islands comes from the Argentine right was informed by Milei's claim that he was setting out a roadmap to reclaim the islands for Argentina, and for the fact that it is widely perceived that Galtieri engaged in the Falklands war in order to get nationalistic feelings inflamed and maintain power. I saw reflected in this the same instinct that imperialist powers are acting on when they start unnecessary forever wars to bolster their own power.

There is a lot of discussion about the islands that happens in this country that I find tasteless and imperialist and that is what I was trying to highlight. I was trying to add on that as well as the cruel jokes circulating about people starving in Argentina that OP referenced, I had seen a rise in rhetoric here in the UK that referenced the war- the Battle of Goose Green and the sinking of the Belgrano in particular- and glorified the conflict and the deaths of Argentinians, and that I thought that was reprehensible.

I think that the sinking of the General Belgrano, outside of the exclusion zone which Britain had defined, was wrong. I think to celebrate the deaths of anybody involved in the conflict is wrong.

I am unaware, and remain unaware, which I am about to embark on remedying, of the general feelings towards the islands by everyday people in Argentina.

I think that in an ideal world, there would be free trade and transit between the islands and Argentina as there is between the islands and Britain. I think that nationalist ideas get in the way of developing a situation for the islands that benefits the Falkland Islanders and benefits Argentina by allowing commerce between the two. I think that the way the borders of the Falklands affect the fishing industry in Argentina is bad and should be remedied.

I do not think, however, that a solution for the colonial occupation of the islands can be found in the annexation of the islands by any other power.

I sincerely apologise for any ignorance portrayed in my initial posts, and would genuinely be delighted to hear from anyone who had a perspective, resources, or information to share with me that isn't anon hate, especially Marxist analysis.

when a territory is illegally occupied by a colonial power, the feelings and benefit of the people occupying said territory should be the last in the list of concerns when discussing reparations. the current settlers in the islands (let's call them "islanders" for short) are not neutral agents in this situation, they're actively working with britain to ensure the stolen territory is never given back to the country it belongs to. Argentina isn't a "power" that can annexate the malvinas, it's a country formed on a suboceanic platform the malvinas are also part of. Retrieving the islands isn't annexation, and simply "allowing trade" and commerce between Argentina and the islands doesn't solve the issue of a colonial illegal occupation in them. The malvinas have been a place that has had too many ecocides carried by the british empire in lieu of their economic benefit. It happened when half the fauna in the islands was anhillilated to allow for sheep herding from the settlers, and it is now when they're trying to turn them into an oil extraction zone

fuckthisshit-ugh

please read this even if you're not indian. especially if you're not indian.

you've seen the jokes. india is "dirty", indians are "everywhere", why don't they fix their own country. ok. let me tell you why, and what's happening right now while nobody's watching.

first, the history you skipped: britain ruled india for two centuries and drained it. economist utsa patnaik's research estimates around $45 trillion in today's money was taken. the india that got independence in 1947 was one of the poorest countries on earth. every "why is india like this" question starts there. you don't get to profit off a robbery and then mock the crime scene.

now, what's happening RIGHT NOW:

in may the question paper for NEET leaked. that's the national medical entrance exam. over 2.2 million students took it. cancelled. years of studying, families' savings poured into coaching, gone overnight because someone sold the paper. students died by suicide after. these were kids who wanted to be doctors.

and out of that came a protest movement. a gen z group called the cockroach janta party, started by a 30 year old named abhijeet dipke, got 22 million instagram followers within DAYS. they've been doing a sit-in at jantar mantar in delhi demanding education minister dharmendra pradhan resign.

and then there's sonam wangchuk. if you've watched 3 idiots, he's the real engineer the character was based on. built solar schools in ladakh. invented ice stupas so himalayan villages have water. spent his whole life on education. he's 59 and he's been on hunger strike for 17+ days now. reporters went to see him this week and he was too weak to talk. and the troll armies are calling him "anti national" and "foreign funded". a man starving himself for other people's children. that's the thing here, anyone who asks a question is suddenly a traitor.

it's not one incident, it's everywhere you look:

• infrastructure worth thousands of crores failing within months of the ribbon cutting. tunnels collapsing in regions where heavy rain is a guarantee, not a surprise.

• youth unemployment near 10% for ages 15 to 29, 13.6% in cities. in a country of 1.42 billion where more than half the population is young.

• only about the top 3% of indians earn above 10 lakh a year. meanwhile billionaire wealth keeps ballooning and the headlines celebrate it.

• manipur burned for over two years. an ethnic conflict, tens of thousands displaced, and the prime minister barely said the word manipur while it happened.

• journalists raided. critics' houses bulldozed. activists sitting in jail for years without trial under laws like UAPA. our press freedom ranking has cratered.

• even the petrol is a fight now, ethanol blending pushed through while drivers complain about their engines and get no straight answers.

and through all of it, the PM, who came to power on religious polarisation (americans, sound familiar?), travels abroad for photo ops and has not held one single open press conference in over a decade. not one.

what i'm asking:

if you're not indian: share this. our media mostly won't cover any of it because the big outlets are owned by the same billionaires the government serves. the only reason wangchuk's fast is getting any coverage is people refusing to look away.

if you ARE indian: speak up even if you're comfortable. especially if you're comfortable. join the protests. add to this, correct me, translate it. staying quiet is a choice when nothing in this post touches your life.

india is not "dirty". india was robbed, and it's being robbed again, from the inside this time. but it's also the country where a 59 year old will starve for strangers' kids and 22 million young people will rally behind a party literally named after cockroaches, because cockroaches survive everything.

we can still save her. but only loudly.

reblog. share. don't scroll past.

The movement, which began as a satirical protest, has evolved into a nationwide challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.

Supporters of India's youth-led Cockroach movement said Tuesday they will continue their protest in New Delhi, refusing to leave their sit-in site a day after police used tear gas and batons to disperse thousands of them as they tried to march toward Parliament. Hundreds of protesters camped at Jantar Mantar, a designated protest site, under heavy police presence, saying they would stay until Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan resigns over alleged failures in India's examination system. "We are going to continue our protest," said Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, which emerged just two months ago. The movement, drawing students, professionals and families, marks a rare public challenge to Prime Minister Narendra Modi 's government in its third term, reviving criticism over its handling of dissent and its use of force to respond to protests. [...] Sona Bisht, a 20-year-old student who was part of the protest, said the confrontation strengthened her resolve. "If the government thinks that doing this with Gen Z, they can stop us, then that won't happen. We are here talking about education, talking about securing our future. And till the time our demands are not met, we will not move from here," she said.

"Definitions developed thus far about youth, like the Gen Z narrative, have largely been linked to roles attributed by the dominant system. The rulers have invented a whole range of terms — rebellious, irresponsible, apolitical, extremist, consumerist — not to understand youth, but to neutralize it. They know as well as we do that whoever wins over the youth wins over society. [...] Thus the question is not whether youth is powerful, but in whose interest this power is directed. Today’s uprisings — such as those in Nepal, Bangladesh, Madagascar, Indonesia, Kenya, Morocco, and beyond — demonstrate that youth continues to emerge as a decisive actor. Young women like Deniz Ciya have proven this with their lives. These uprisings are not expressions of generational temperament. These „Gen Z uprisings“ are expressions of a social force confronting structural crisis inherent in the current system. [...] Recent youth uprisings — whether in the form of environmental justice protests, labor movements, or uprisings against authoritarian governments — are proof that youth worldwide are not only responding to a set of circumstances; they are consciously and collectively rejecting the narratives that seek to define them. Thus, it is crucial to analyze what transpired, and draw lessons from these uprisings, particularly in the context of building a global youth democratic confederalism. For the power of youth movements is interconnected, despite being geographically distant." — "Beyond "Gen Z": Defending Revolutionary Youth Spirit" by Lêgerîn

"The youth in general, and especially the young women, are the spark of every revolution.We can’t look at the history and found a revolution without the youth. We are a fundamental factor. We should be aware of this reality, we should take conscience of our historical role. By doing this we will provide ourselves with a plan that will allow us the unity of action and objectives. The Youth should not be condemned to be a slave of the capitalist system. [...] If we reject the labels and mentalities imposed by the system, taking consciousness as Internationalist Youth in a global level and organizing ourselves, is there someone who can stop us?" — "The youth is the spark of every revolution" by Lêgerîn.
