People of the Peacock Angel (2016) 

Bavê Çawîş, the highest Êzidî temple guard of Lalish on the ongoing Êzidî genocide that started in 2014. To this day over 3200 Êzidî women and children are still in the hands of Daesh (ISIS) and used as sex slaves and military recruitment.

[thecybersmith]

Is it better now?

[xwezi]

Not much has changed for Ezidis ever since the start of the genocide at the hands of ISIS that will have it’s 4th anniversary in August of this year (2018). While over 3000 women and children still remain in captivity, thousands of other Ezidis are displaced, either living in refugee camps or returning to destroyed villages with no sufficient infrastructure anymore. There is an immense lack of basic needs such as medical care, food, shelter and education for children.

A lot of abducted women are reported to have been further sold into sex slavery into other countries and many of the kidnapped children have been sold to Muslim families. Those who were kidnapped at a young age do not remember their roots, their culture and their religion anymore. Cases in which children have been reunited with their real families show they need to be reintegrated into their communities again which proves to be difficult as many have forgotten their mother tongue. The liberated Ezidi woman and children are still in need of psychological help for the mental and physical abuse they received at the hands of ISIS during their captivity. Unfortunately to this day the world barely knows about them or their situation so efforts to improve their circumstances are only going very slowly.

[xwezi]

It breaks my heart how over 7 years (2021) after the Ezidi community was uprooted in the most violent way in their homeland, every word above still stands as their reality. Still almost 3000 women and children are in captivity. In spring of this year a seven year old Ezidi girl was saved from human trafficking in Turkey. She was an infant when she was kidnapped by ISIS members and ever since sold several times. Her fate is that of thousands of Ezidi children and women whose whereabouts are unknown to this day. Whatever efforts are made to find them, are coming from within their community, despite the promises and obligations of the international community to support the survivors. Ezidis are rotting away in IDP camps in Iraq which lack most basic sanitary facilities. Lack of water, electricity, most basic education. Fires in the summers and not adequate shelter in the winters. There is a whole lost generation of Ezidi children and adults all the same who experience extrem mental health issues because of the trauma ISIS genocide inflicted on them. There has not been a single month this year without reports of suicide cases in IDP camps. Please consider supporting these amazing organizations that have been on the ground since day one, assisting the survivors: Khalsa Aid, Yazda, Nadias Initiative and Free Yezidi Foundation.

what?!?!?!?!?! you mean "dr. hotdog's wacky tranny sex crimes" has negative messages about trans women?!?!?!?!?!

[byjove]

I usually despise saying a homophobic politician is gay because it feels like blaming the community for their own oppression but it is important to note Lindsey Graham was gay and this was an open secret his entire life that he thought he was hiding well from South Carolina

[what-even-is-thiss]

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

[what-even-is-thiss]

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

[what-even-is-thiss]

Emperor Hadrian randomly stabbed a slave in the eye in a fit of rage and he was supposedly unusually sympathetic to slaves.

There’s other instances of people randomly punching slaves that they didn’t even know because they got in their way or something. This was just normal behavior.

And slaves didn’t rebel en masse because if even one slave committed an act of violent rebellion it was common practice to kill every slave and former slave in the household.

People only took notice for posterity when these mass executions got into the hundreds of people. One of the few recorded for the history books is of over 400 people being killed because one guy stabbed his enslaver.

Like how many people throughout history were beaten to death because some rich asshole was angry and there was no legal or social consequences for doing so? We don’t know.

[what-even-is-thiss]

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

[hesperocyon-lesbian]

Lurking under this is also the fact that most Roman mining operations were done by slaves in conditions that were far more brutal than those of household slaves, to the point that sending a slave to the mines is a threat I’ve read leveraged multiple times in separate texts

[hesperocyon-lesbian]

Citizens could also be condemned to slavery in the mines, but notably were still seen as Romans if of the lowest class. Those who were already slaves prior to being sent to the mines were treated far worse and were effectively expected to die down there

[inkandguns]

[transbian-stoner]

"Trans women found dead. CCTV footage shows a group of people wearing tshirts that read we kill trannys repeatedly stabbing her. Police are treating this as a suicide."

[transbian-stoner]

"On the matter a local trans man was quoted as saying 'how come she gets all the attention? Fucking bitch'"

[human-pet-they]

it’s kind of crazy that “he has a sadness in his eyes you only see in Eastern European gay porn” took off, because the joke is, like, exclusively about people being sexually exploited due to miserable economic conditions.

[libertineangel]

Unfortunately to the majority of this site Eastern Europe is not actually a real place full of actual human beings, instead a vague concept where everything's grey and miserable and (to the slightly less ignorant) full of violent ethnic tensions, and if you try to explain why that's the popular Western conception of the place and why things got so miserable from the late 80s onward they'll just call you a tankie
