From Sautman’s Telling Tall Tales: “Uyghur Genocide” As Political Stratagem

The book has ended up being a really good companion piece to Ettinger’s book Battleground Tibet that I read a few months ago. Western government funding of right-wing émigré groups to produce misinformation should never be underestimated. There are so many of them and the NED’s filthy hands end up on almost all of them. And their reports end up being taken up by “credible” groups like Human Rights Watch.

I love when people are like "oh you think you're such a good person huh" when you never said or implied that because it tells you a lot about how they perceive themselves

Conservatives do this a lot

[innerchildabortionclinic]

This is so funny

Why is everyone on this website actually stupid. Yes even the most marginalised US-American benefits from the privileges afforded to them by living in the Imperial Core. Why do you think Indigenous US-Americans live, on average, in better conditions than Indigenous Americans in Latin America? Why is it that Indigenous US-Americans living on the poorest most isolated and neglected reservations have a better quality of life then the worst off Indigenous Latin American tribe? I’ll answer for you: It’s Imperialism

[umbra-life]

Indigenous and mestizos. We all in Latam are mestizos of Indigenous cultures and black and brown people and whatever other category, and every time I see "recommendations" of how to survive being empoverisher by western capitalism, its a westerner (not just a yanki) eating our food bought in cans at cheap prices. Even the marginalised westerner have access to everything that is stolen every day from us while we die hearing them whine about why one does nothing to stop imperialism with their mouths full of my ancestral vegetables, fruits and grains, sitting in a place made with the wood covered in our blood, holding a phone made with our minerals and metals and lives.

But this is a truth that they will never accept bc they really think their lives are above ours and they can't and will never stop being an imperialists. That's why every time a global southerners speaks of this ALWAYS shows up marginalised ppl from all identities from the empire or wannabe to tell us to shut up.

Ppl here have told me to buy expensive ass vegan foods and canned food bc "is cheaper" and gave me a price in dollars when I asked about nutrition under western caused famine. I felt disgust bc the food named was my native foods, yet they can buy it bc they take it from me. Canned food is not accessible to survive a fucking famine. I can't even buy fucking potatoes nor have a safe place to put them. We created the fucking potatoes and where in all the territories.

That's the privilege and ignorance of the west.

third worlders complaining about global trade like us pausing our imports wouldn't send their economy into a decade long recession. say thank you for us funding your employment

I can’t stop thinking about this message, so I spent a while trying to isolate just the writing and make it transparent. I might order a shirt with it

Whoever in Clackamas wrote this message on their bus stop, I love you

needing to take a shower: worst feeling in the world getting into the shower: hardest task in the world being in the shower: 🚿🧼🛁🧴🫧 getting out of the shower: second hardest task in the world being out of the shower: (soft hair) (soft skin) (cozy towel) (clean clothes) why is getting into the shower always so hard. i should remember this feeling (most beautiful feeling in the world) next time i need to take a shower

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

I think we need to kill the sentiment that people lose their right to personhood once they do something bad enough

[vulturevanity]

I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to stop dehumanising people even if those people are "abusers" or "creeps" because you need to understand that you are not immune to doing something equally as bad

Abusers and creeps are not some species of especially heinous animal or alien or monster wearing the face of a human. They're people. And you NEED to drill it into your head that they are people because you NEED to remember that people are capable of doingn heinous shit. And you are a person. And your loved ones are people.

By emotionally classifying people who have done heinous things as subhuman filth incapable of thinking and feeling and acting just like you and me, and by using that emotional dehumanization as a reason to deny those people any compassion or support on a systemic level, you risk becoming blind to abuse/violence perpetrated by someone close to you or even yourself. Because if "abusers don't deserve rights", then you won't ever want to admit or accept that you or a loved one is perpetrating abuse, and that makes stopping the abuse or preventing further abuse much harder. This is how you end up excuaing abusive behaviour on the grounds that, since you don't see someone as a disgusting subhuman pile of garbage therefore they can't possibly be An Abuser, Trademark

[vulturevanity]

And here'a the even harder pill to swallow: since the world isn't split into "abusers" and "good people", in the same way you or someone you love can inflict abuse/violence on others, the people who HAVE inflicted abuse/violence on others can, in fact, change and become better people

There is no bottomless chasm of moral uncleanliness that someone can run off and fall into and get stuck in forever. People can do better. Yes, even those people. You HAVE to accept this. Otherwise not only is there no motivation for anyone to try and do better (which is when people become stuck in a cycle of violence and abuse they don't want to escape), but your idea of a perfect justice system doesn't look any different from Literal Christian Hell. And I HOPE you understand that Literal Christian Hell is, to put it very lightly, not a good justice system.

Unchecked and fear-driven dehumanization is the brick foundation for fascism.

[thedorkdionysia]

i think it would do a lot of people good to remember that Mormons are white supremacists, no nuance, no debate, no arguing how they've gotten "more diverse", their whole belief system is fundamentally rooted in white supremacist ideals

[cellsofearthwindand]

dont forget that part of the way theyve "gotten more diverse" is by "rescuing"(their words) black and brown kids by adopting them out of california

Whenever people bleat and whine about the “invisibility” of trans men, I think about Heated Rivalry. The biggest show of the year had a trans man, Harrison Browne, cast in a prominent role where he appeared in multiple episodes and had a good handful of lines. Following the show he had a bunch of articles written about his role and the importance of trans inclusion, including one on CNN.

Heated Rivalry also features a trans actress. In one scene, in one episode, the one where Rose is getting her makeup done on set. The actress’s name is Miss Niki Nikita, her character is not given a name. She is given one line, with only one word: “Same.” Trying to track down the name of this actress requires you to dig through the guts of Google search results, and still the main thing that comes up is a reddit post where someone credits her. (Googling “heated rivalry trans woman” still just returns results on Harrison Browne.)

When you say “trans men are invisible” do you just mean that online spaces are constantly trying to raise awareness for the violence trans women face? Because from where I’m standing, trans men get to experience the joy and the limelight while trans women get the violence and the vitriol. But sure, I guess they’re “too visible.”
