#persecution tw

[auschizm]

Hi, I have a rent/question. I am schizautistic and I struggle mostly with delusions of persecution from other people. And in order to live my life in the best way possible for everyone, I have now spent years refusing to act on my feelings of being attacked by the people I I interact with. As a catholic person I believe that everybody deserves to be treated the best way I can, and I'm stubborn enough to live by that rule. Except it leaves me vulnerable for people who would actually hurt me as I can't tell the difference between true toxic people and the bullshit my brain is feeding me. Also, my low empathy makes that I couldn't care less if I hurt people's feelings.

So globally, life is so fucking exhausting because I have to make monumental efforts to be a decent (I won't say good) person. Any thoughts on how I could handle that differently ?

I think you're doing the right thing already, and what's worth noting is that even if some people have bad intentions, this should not change your dedication to not harming people. If people treat you badly, the most constructive response is boundaries and distance - not revenge.

“but the otkazat’sya are suffering too!” girl the otkazat’sya have one thousand safe havens to choose from. because it is their entire country and they are the privileged majority. they never have to fear that they are alone or isolated or vulnerable in a land that caters directly to them. do you understand. the grisha have one safe haven in a land that fucking hates them and seeks to strip away their basic human rights at every second. they are not the same.

Wdyt about Israel Palestine

i think that anybody trying to bring a real life attempt at fucking genocide into petty fandom bullshit maybe needs to take a step back a little. what the fuck is wrong with you people.

i think that i don't know nearly enough about the situation to make a statement about anything, but it's pretty damn obvious that israel is making an attempt at wiping out palestine. next person to bring this subject into my ask box as fandom discourse is getting blocked by the way. there are people fucking dying out there right now.

i also think that it's fucking ridiculous to take a statement out of context and try to spin it in some accusatory direction, considering the context is that the otkazat'sya hold irrevocable power within this fictional universe and seek to cull the grisha despite their safe haven. which is genocide. last I checked genocide is bad. it really shouldn't have to be stated that this is fucking fiction versus reality, though. literally what the fuck.

For Carina @flyaboveitall

Although it was a very big adjustment to make, Carina was a survivor above all. She had survived on her own with nothing but a diary and an image of her father she had created to give her a purpose. A purpose that eventually led to him. She had been persecuted for being resourceful, intelligent, and independent. As she sits in this coffee shop mindlessly stirring her drink, she looks to another nearby. "Pardon me, I was wondering what a modern-day woman can do here that would get her accused of witchcraft in ... well, older times. I want to make a list and do each item. Admittedly, out of pure defiance."

People should pay attention to the things they say or write. 

In one hand there are the feels of Christians who don't like that Jesus isn't divine to Jews (newsflash: he wasn't) and him being dealt with as "any other Jewish person." 1) what's the problem of being "any other Jewish person"? (none, I tell you!); 2) that's all he was for those who do think that he existed so considering that it's actually being really nice because to so many others Jesus is more like Homer: there are things that people claim that he wrote, but we don't even know if he actually existed.

In the other hand, you have persecutions and genocides perpetrated in the name of Jesus and Christianity. 

Someone actually thought and decided to write to me that the ~feels are more important.

I'm not barging into Christian blogs, churches, Christians on the street and whatnot and telling Christians what to believe, so why do people think that this is acceptable if this is being done to Jews?

So one of the things that really frustrates me is when people only care about people that are similar to them

Like people on Twitter and on here are being really great about making a movement to pray for persecuted Christians in Iraq and posting about what you can do to help, etc.

And that is awesome. I'm completely serious.

But what about the Yazidi that are being held captive?

What about the Shiite Muslims?

Like I feel like all of these people are equally valuable in God's sight so I don't understand why we are only making a big deal out of one group when we should be outraged about the things being done to all of these people.

I cannot fucking believe that there are people who actually support people who kill Christians and burn churches just because of their distaste for Christianity itself.
