"As Grandi points out, a tradition is nothing but an innovation that was once successful."
I saw you mention this before but I'm not convinced that a decolonised Palestine wouldn't come at the expense of Israeli citizens. Like what fault do the Israeli children born into this mess have. The most realistic solution is dissolving the apartheid regime and replacing it with a secular government
.
i really can't believe this is such a hard thing to understand for so many people.
a decolonized palestine entails the abolition of the zionist entity (which is a racist, supremacist, ethnonationalist entity. i need you to understand that) and redistributing land and housing that was stolen from palestinians by settlers back to palestinians. if you talk to me about the poor israeli kids who were born into this mess and had nothing to do with it, i'll just bring up the countless martyred, imprisoned, tortured, exiled palestinian children who also had nothing to do with this mess. this is not an argument.
in an ideally decolonized palestine, palestinians would be given back their homes, lands and rights, under a regime that isn't based on ethnic supremacy. if jewish people wish to continue to live alongside palestinians as equals, in homes that weren't fucking stolen, then they can do so.
of course, there will be animosity. there will be hatred, the wounds of the better part of a century that the zionist entity has inflicted upon palestinians will not heal quickly, if ever really. and i don't think anyone can blame palestinians for that.
what really bugs me about asks like these is that i don't see this overcomplication of decolonization being made in any case other than the palestinian plight. by your logic, algeria should have just accepted the french colonizing and annexing them, and their independence war and the exodus of french settlers were actually immoral things that happened (????? literally do you understand how absurd you sound right now. it's fucking telling that every time i make a post about palestine i need to use examples of other oppressed peoples to demonstrate concepts that you should fucking understand intuitively. speaks volumes about just how human palestinians are in your eyes)
The Andrew Tate stuff has always been so wild bc the thing people want to talk about most with him is his whole misogynist anti-feminist schtick when that's the least interesting part of him. Like, ok he does the whole "online misogynist for money" thing, that's been around for a while now and if he disappeared tomorrow a dozen other dudes would replace him in that ecosystem.
What is actually unique is that this dude is a full on human trafficker. Like for real. And that is some serious shit! That's what all these conservatives pretend to care about, trafficking! That's what Glenn Greenwald and all these formerly twitter lefty ppl who demand Andrew Tate be brought back to twitter meme about constantly with their stupid fucking podcasts about Epstein and co. Yet somehow the conversation still isn't "hey this man is a literal sex trafficker" its "is misogyny man rly that bad for being misogynist?" Like bro I do not care about the misogyny there's women in his basement.
I mean, he's a sex trafficker because he's a violent misogynist. He believes that every man has the God-given right to sexually traffic and abuse any woman of his choosing, but The Politically Correct Left is “tyrannical” because we won't let him.
So he calls other people groomers, rapists, and abusers to throw scrutiny off himself for actually being an abusive groomer and rapist. And he’s a conservative hero.
This is how it always goes.
Him being a human trafficker is absolutely not unique among that type of guy.
The right is so incredibly conservative and getting more fascist every day. Reneging on discussing misogyny and how it informs and interacts with heinous crimes like this is missing why people like Glenn Greenwald want him back on twitter. Why do the people who scream about how the left are pedophiles every day then openly associate with pedophiles and worship people like Donald Trump?
Right wing obsession with human trafficking and pedophilia is not about being abhorred by those crimes. It's using the horror of those crimes to push for a traditional society - one where white gentile cishet men are on top and free to commit whatever crimes they desire. The underlying bigotry is involved in a deeply traditionalist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, racist, antisemitic idea of how society should work and what makes it perverse or not in the first place.
Of course, neglecting to mention the severity of human trafficking in this scenario is harmful and cowardly - but not discussing misogyny would be missing the fascist forest for the "unique" trees. Misogyny is what drives these acts, and just because there are mild forms of it doesn't mean that it's an incidental type of harm in comparison - this is just one of the worst manifestations of misogyny.

thank you morocco for a great wc :’)) 🫶🏻
they made history and made us proud. dima maghrib!! 🇲🇦
“Cops and judges arrested and jailed people who had not stolen a car to help out Hertz. They humiliated people who had not stolen stuff to help out Walmart. They jailed cancer patients for being unable to afford the made-up price a hospital charged them to stay alive, to help out the hospital. (I didn’t even mention the judges who sign off on landlords’ arrest warrants for unpaid rent.) The reverse of this—for ordinary people to use the legal system to obtain justice from large corporations—is absurdly difficult, thanks to neat things like arbitration clauses and ‘needing money to get a lawyer.’ The truth of American inequality is not just that some people have a lot of money and a lot more have very little, in some sad natural accident. The rich are rich because other people are poor. The wealthy elite extracts their riches from the poor through schemes like this, or underpaying workers, or pure wage theft. It’s a transfer, and the logic of capitalism and ever-increasing profits dictates that they must always use every possible avenue to expand this transfer. And sitting right there is the criminal justice system, already primed to oppress the powerless and vulnerable, with the legal authority to take people’s money. It’s a loaded gun, literally.”

the most disorienting thing thats ever happened to me was when a linguistics major stopped in the middle of our conversation, looked me in the eye, and said, “you have a very interesting vernacular. were you on tumblr in 2014?” and i had to just stand there and process that one for a good ten seconds
– I’m just telling you now in case my mom says something dumb like you’re fat or whatever. – I thought you said when she says shit like that, it means she cares.
NOPE 2022, dir. Jordan Peele
begging an abusive man to stay in your film and calling his actions a “wake up call” for the lead actress is horrible enough, but to then turn around and pretend you fired him, and use that lie to promote the idea of you as a feminist, goes beyond performative into plain despicable. what a slap in the face not only to florence, but to fka twigs and every woman dhia has abused in his personal life too.
Lena Wilson deadass couldn’t have just kept a dm to herself and now she got outed as a terf and a nepo baby without any real talent that’s crazy lol
Amandla Sternberg ain’t off the hook either. Mars the original creator of the art hoe collective has come and said that Amandla, Gabby (fridacashflow) and others stole it from them and pushed them out. While all the other people profited and built their modeling and influencer careers off of it

overnight, israel raided, destroyed, and shut down multiple extremely vital palestinian human rights organizations
they ransacked the offices, stole or destroyed computers, and destroyed files documenting israeli violence (like rape, settler violence, prison torture on children, harassment, shootings, beatings, military violence on civilians, home demolitions, etc), and welded the doors shut with iron
the organizations attacked are listed below, please consider boosting their voices or donating if able:
Al Haq - Defending Human Rights
Defense for Children International
Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association
Bisan Center for Research and Development
The Union of Agriculture Work Committees

The 'Black Panther' franchise is setting an example the rest of Hollywood needs to follow.
This article really does hit the nail on the head when it cames to NBPOC and the Black Panther franchise. I myself even got an ask on the subject a few years back.
I’m happy that Ryan Coogler and many of the Black creatives who’re responsible for Black Panther’s success decided to open the door for further inclusion, but let’s not forget that when Black Panther first came out many NBPOC were more interested in trying to decent Blackness in a film that was about celebrating the myriads of the Black identity. And it wasn’t just Black Panther that had its Blackness decentered, it was other Black movies/Tv shows like Girl’s Trip, Get Out, Moonlight, etc.
It’s just interesting to me that Black people are expected to do this kind of labor for others while also being heavily critiqued for not being “Inclusive enough” in our movements. Meanwhile NBPOC are more than happy to exclude the Afrolatinos, Black Queers, Afro Asians, and other Black people who exist within their own communities.
I still remember Gina Rodriguez throwing shade at all the Black joy that his movie brought. I still remember MIA throwing shade at Beyonce for openly talking about Black Lives Matter. Or the post that demanded Black people support Aquaman in the same manner we supported Black Panther because “Polynesians need representation too”. I still remember the multiple tweets, and comments and reddit posts about how Black Panther’s mere existence wasn’t fair to NBPOC and that Black people should move mountains to give NBPOC the same thing that Black Panther gave us.
And let me reiterate, I’m happy that Ryan Coogler has chosen to use his platform to be inclusive and to share the joy and build bridges…but I’m also not about to ignore the fact that so many people came into my mentions and on my posts, and in the posts of my mutuals to try and act like Black people were getting too much attention and needed to move to the back of the bus to let NBPOC have a turn.
