me @ me: why are you like this

[argumate]

I am a bit concerned that I wouldn't oppose racial segregation in the south, because "separate but equal" and "shouldn't we make public spaces that accommodate this very common preference?" and "is it really right for us northers force our moral opinions onto some other country; that's sounds like colonialism" kind sound of convincing to me.

it's hard to maintain racial segregation without violence; people already have racial affiliations in their communities, but actually preventing any fraternisation or integrated businesses requires more than just a preference it requires intimidation and violence, and those aren't acceptable and nor can they ever be "equal".

the problem with colonialism wasn't forcing better laws on people, it's that the colonists didn't follow their own laws, robbing and murdering with impunity; colonialism was bad because (again) it involved great violence towards the dispossessed.

[ralfmaximus]

"Separate but equal" never is.

If their "preference" is to not see or interact with humans with different skin tones, origin, religion, ethnic traits (etc) then they are a racist and a bigot, full stop.

If they need it explained why bigotry is bad, they are not engaging in good faith.

i think anon might do well to learn more about to learn more about what segregation in the american south actually entailed. and i mean that very kindly.

like, the case of Rosewood, FL might be instructive.

Priceless Jewels Stolen From Louvre In Daytime Raid

The Louvre Museum in Paris closed temporarily after thieves broke in and stole several priceless Napoleon-era jewels, the brazen seven-minute raid taking place just after the world’s most-visited museum opened. What do you think?

[todaysbird]

very cool but also kind of a dick move

[todaysbird]

Stop making Hannibal furry headcanons unless it’s this bird

[reggiemess]

It's apparently only ONE population of this species that does this. Everyone else hunts and caches normally. The other falcons probably talk shit about this fucked up torture family.

[skwerlly-squirrel]

Ooooh that’s even more fascinating. That means it’s a learned behavior they TAUGHT one another.

"What did you agree with him about?" is my current replacement for "states right to what?"

Back in the 90s you could go to your local news channel and be like "I had a near-death experience and I went to Heaven for 5 minutes and I saw Jesus riding a skateboarding unicorn" and they'd put you on tv

[natalieironside]

You could tell a cop you'd seen a vampire in the woods and they'd send guys to go look for it

[cipheramnesia]

You still can, just put woke+trans in front

[natalieironside]

I died on the operating table for 5 minutes and I went to WOKE heaven and saw TRANSGENDER Jesus and His PRONOUNS angels

[cipheramnesia]

Tonight on FOX! Is your CHILD safe from the TRANS AGENDA! LIBERAL WOKE ANTIFA DEI DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST area schools now REQUIRE all teachers to teach children that Jesus had breasts and was TRANSGENDER! We have real footage of these students pledging trangender allegiance to TRANS JESUS!

[rikonius]

It's transsubstantiation, not cissubstantiation.

"Summon ketamine ape is a banned spell" fuck it fine whatever, I summon a normal gorilla. I summon some ketamine.

[rikonius]

*Summon's ketamine*

*Casts levitate (minor) on ketamine*

*Summons gorilla so that it materializes around the ketamine*

It feels like this is the biggest story to still be flying relatively under the radar in the anglophone press. If a single phonecall from a racist pig American can get hundreds of your senior engineers and their families, who are only there to oversee factory construction up to spec, rounded up and sent to the Gestapo torture dungeons then suddenly it's an open question if any Korean, Japanese (and indeed eventually potentially even European) firm will ever feel safe directly investing in the US ever again

Found a long Mastodon thread that makes a lot of sense, and goes a long way to explaining how we got to this point (re: conservatives shooting up the place).

Link to the complete thread in the source thing below. Tumblr won't let me embed Mastodon links inline (probably because of the embedded @ symbol which tumblr thinks is an email address).

never thought i’d be saying this as a nepali person but the rest of the world has a lot to learn from nepal when it comes to revolution lol

[seongpinkhwa]

young people literally spent two days showing the full force of their wrath against a horrific, corrupt system run by politicians that embezzled away every single cent of citizen money. they protested, and when the cops turned to violence, they did too. many of the biggest and most corrupt politicians (including the prime minister) were forced to resign, had their houses swarmed by crowds of furious people, were beat within an inch of their lives, and had their money thrown out onto the streets.

real, actual change is on the way in a country plagued by exploitation and poverty and corruption for DECADES because the population rallied together behind the sheer force of the young population and their anger - so much so that it’s being called the gen z revolution. THIS is how revolutions come about when every attempt to use peaceful means is met with bullets and suppression and social media bans in an effort to shut people up. and i think the west has a lot to learn about what true revolution and true progression is, because the way that our political discourse is so weak and watered down and pushed to be ‘friendly’ and ‘understanding’ is so pathetic at times. THERE IS NO NEGOTIATING WITH YOUR OPPRESSORS.

'all forms of political violence is bad' read it and weep losers

once again thinking about "the lottery" by shirley jackson.

imagine there was a man in the story who went around giving speeches about the importance of the lottery as a tradition. He said the casualties were unfortunate, but also an inevitable price of freedom. Imagine he treated those who sought to end the senseless cycle of violence with condescension and derision, calling them idiotic, naïve, and diseased.

yet when that man was selected for the lottery and stoned to death, everyone mourned him and said how unfair it was that a bright young family man should die so soon. And when people pointed out that this man was killed by a system he adamantly defended and worked to perpetuate, they lost their jobs and were shunned from the community as insensitive and monstrous.

Imagine. Hypothetically. For no particular reason.

[cynicalclassicist]

I get it. And find it well put.

I will probably reblog this every time I see it on my dash because it’s absolutely stunning

[onyxai]

This is literally insane. How did you have the patience. Tell me your secrets o’ art god.

[i-say-ok]

ok!!! :0

[anarchist-rat-swarm]

Part of me is like “neat. Reblog,” and part of me is like “I understand now why impressionism took off, because there’s a 0% chance the artist wasn’t like ‘fuck this shit’ by the halfway point.”

I wish I had some good news for my US customers, but for now I still don’t know when normal shipping will resume 😞 I’m hoping it’s soon.

In the meantime, if you don’t live in the US and you love jewelry and crystals, hi! I’m just trying to keep my shop open during this ridiculous time and could use the support 🙈
