#maga mention

[of-freyjas-cavy]

I had been spending time on other parts of the internet (do not recommend) and it's so vile. I hate it. I hate that there's an anti intelligence movement going on. I hate that everyone is cruel for no reason at all. I hate that people are anti science. I hate that people refuse to believe facts.

MAGA is just such a curse on America but I'd say humanity as a whole. MAGA literally has supporters in other countries (which is INSANE). It really is a cult and it's RUINING so many things.

I hate that people are pro AI and refuse to listen to the GENUINE concerns. We aren't going to have access to clean water relatively soon because of the AI facilities that WILL be built. We won't have clean air (not that we really do in a lot of places anyway).

I hate that I feel like I'm never doing enough. I hate that I can't just exist. I hate that my anxiety is crippling for me. I hate that I have chronic pain. I hate that I know people want me dead. I hate that I know most people are ableist and would bully me or worse if they knew.

I'm disabled, poor, unable to get ANY assistance that I QUALIFY for because I was born in a red state. I need to make money SOMEHOW but I just don't know what to do. I've tried so many things. Applied to captioning jobs. I'm considering throwing away my morals and ethics just so I can make SOME money.

It's depressing existing in this world RN and I don't know how much longer I'll be able to fight.

Butterfly/domino effect meme where on one side is post-911 anti-Muslim nationalism and on the other side is the MAGA fuck harassing me in the ACME parking lot in 2025 yelling "I SUPPORT YOU!"

Hey yall! Ill be more socially on my insta giving information about the protest.

IF YOU LIVE IN AN AREA WITH PROTESTERS:

1) Give shelter when they need it.

2) make sure you donate/share anything you can!

3) Never black out #blacklivesmatter. Instead use m*g* to black out their false news.

4) offer water, or anything to help the protesters.

5) Try to record anything of the protest, wear safety gear while doing so.

6) Wear goggles, gloves, and bring anything from a cone to a tube to help diffuse tear gas.

7) bring something like a backpack for supplies, umbrellas or even a block of wood to help shield.

FOR THOSE WHO DONT LIVE IN A PROTEST AREA:

1) Donate or share at a black lives matter organization.

2) Spread the truth and report false claims.

3) Be up to date with any new information.

4) share helpful information

5) Use anything to help out

IF YOU ARE PROTESTING:

1) Bring black clothing to represent you are with the movement. We need to unionized and root out the fake protestors

2) DO NOT FIGHT, THATS WHAT THE POLICE WANT.

3) Please do not break into any store.

4) Stop those doing 2 and 3.

5) Bring supplies from first aid to food and water.

6) See a cop in disguise, yell it out and seperate the cop and the protesters

Again, be safe out there, and DO NOT listen to media that paints the protesters as villians

MAY WE WIN THE FIGHT, AND DO SO WITH CARE. MAY WE LET PEOPLE KNOW WE ARE THE ONES TO CHANGE AND THAT THEIR ANCESTORS NO LONGER HAVE TO CRY OUT IN PAIN

I’m a third of the way through this and choking back tears for like a fifth time, that bit about being judged for talking about self hate - too relatable. I’m not Asian, I’m mixed with Mexican among other European ethnicities, but people in your own community on either side do NOT like it when you talk about struggling with self-hate. And I have to tell you from experience, if you really intend on loving yourself, you have to go through that struggle to the other side. You can’t be what you want to be, without acknowledging who you don’t want to be, and the examples thereof in your own community. 

I was very recently abused by my Asian ex, and his own abusive and deeply conservative family. I’m been an outsider to that, and also a victim. I’ve been an insider and a victim in my own immigrant community. I watch my own family buy into islamophphobia, making more victims, and “I’m not Mexican, I’m Spanish” rhetoric regularly. Another abusive, and also Mexican, ex, was one of these people. I used to be one of these people, having a white liberal veteran father didn’t help. MAGA hat wearing Latines? They’re alive and well. And I watch people pretend they don’t exist because of the complexity of being torn between needing your community as an immigrant and knowing that members of your community are hurting you and themselves, daily. This is stuff that needs to be addressed by us within our own communities.

And I have so so so so so literally so much respect for Eugene Lee Yang for addressing that, and addressing how it’s a comorbid and compounding issue when you’re also LGBT+, because that community abuse grows another facet.
