You should be extremely suspicious of any movement attempting to shut down nuanced, intelligent, good faith conversation and debate. Especially when it's being used in a way that infiltrates and shuts down every conversation, any conversation, about anything. Especially when it's being used in a way that halts gaining any ground at all in steady incremental progress. Especially when it's being used in a way that only seeks to divide and halts any efforts of reparations.

You should be extremely suspicious of any movement attempting to paint any part of society or history as simple. In any direction. For any reason.

You should be extremely suspicious of anyone and especially any movement that speaks with flagrant disregard to human life. It does not matter who that life belongs to.

and before I get someone in my asks or my dms doing bean-soupification about how I’m generalising or making assumptions about all Americans or wtv: I am allowed to be upset and irritated by the way Americanisation is erasing local culture in my home country and elsewhere in the global south, taking away opportunities for local artists and local arts scenes, degrading and intervening in politics for the worse and the fact that the American government had in excess of 800 military bases to control by fear as well as soft power 👍🏽

Presidency of South Africa twitter, "International Court of Justice holds its 1st hearing in South Africa's genocide case against Israel" (Ze🇸🇩 in reply to Presidency of South Africa twitter): Wow haha so nice, suing genocidal states while simultaneously shaking hands and giggling with a genocidal Sudanese warlord. (Ze🇸🇩 in thread): I can call out political hypocrisy however I like, especially when it directly affects me. Their country legitimized a genocidal warlord who’s actively butchering my people as WE speak. They have no moral conscious and I don’t believe they’re doing this for Palestinians. (@Kandakat_alhaqq): Did you guys know that Omar Al-Bashir was wanted by the ICC for a genocide when he visited SA in 2015, the same crimes South Africa is suing Isnotreal for and SA refused to arrest him? Did you know that SA met with Hemeti, general of the RSF militia that’s committing all sorts of atrocities just last week? Did you know they called him “President” on a tweet and then deleted it? Did you know Hemeti is also complicit in the same genocide (Darfur) Omar Al-Bashir was wanted for by ICC? No? Well now you know. While SA plays hero in front of the world, they most certainly are not for the Sudanese people.
