Remember that Luigi is a WHITE MALE who are the real enemy, right guys? Haha please stop developing class consciousness and remember to hate WHITE MEN. please please focus on racism or male privilege instead of wealth inequality.

Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.

the world is burning… and so are we

this may feel very weak and stupid to say at a time like this, when genocide is happening. but i feel like i’m biting my tongue and not saying much? i can’t fully identify the reason why i am holding back. why can’t i fight for freedom? i don’t want to look back and feel guilty because i was silent and complaisant. i can’t sit on my feelings anymore but i also feel that i’m not educated or informed enough to say all the things i want to say. and i think that is what has been holding me back.

what i do know is that there are 3 major genocide’s happening right now. the genocide of Palestinians, at the hands of the American and Israeli governments.as well as the genocides happening in the Congo and Sudan (which I know less about and wish to seek more information about these situations). many governments have anti-trans/ anti-lgbtq laws in place. some areas that don’t have laws that restrict the freedoms of queer and trans people are looking to implement them. in america affirmative action was overturned, i believe ICWA was also overturned this year. and reproductive rights have been violated. also, cop city, a militarized police training facility being built in atlanta to train police all over the world in the best ways to “police” their citizens. i put the word police in parentheses because their main goal is no longer to maintain the law and serve and protect citizens from danger. no, they think they are above the law and they want to control us through fear.

all politicians and their governments are corrupt. one of their main goals is to isolate citizens from each other, drain us of our energy, and make us turn on each other. if we’re lonely and tired and angry at our fellow man, how could we ever fight our oppressors? there is power in numbers, so they have chosen to separate us and create a divide. we should be choosing community, unity, and solidarity. you may be afraid to speak out in support of Palestine because you think you don’t know enough about the situation, or nobody else you know is speaking out, or because you think you’ll get hate for antisemitism. however, if you’re staying silent you’re choosing to stand by the decisions your political leaders are making. if you don’t know about the situation research and find out enough to form a solid stance. if nobody else’s you know is speaking out, why not be the first one? maybe everyone in your community needs that push. and remember being pro-Palestine was never and will never be anti-semitic. this is something that is said to scare people into not speaking out but just because you’re against Apartheid, and wrongful colonial occupation does not mean you hate Jewish people at all, rather it means you’re just against corrupt governments trying to get away with sick and twisted actions in the dark.

as an american i believe the american people need to rally together and put an end to this. how can the us treasurer say there is plenty in the budget for at least 2 wars but the country is trillions of dollars in debt? we can’t keep letting the white supremacist that run our country use our tax paying dollars to fund a genocide that largely nobody is in support of. boycott all companies that in support of Israel not just McDonalds and Starbucks and Disney. if you can try honestly i would recommend just not buying anything that isn’t a necessity at all period. if we stop funneling money into the economy 1) there will be no money to fund Israel’s endeavors, and 2) the economy will eventually collapse. if the economy collapsed a new economic structure would have to be built to replace capitalism. this is hella extreme but i think an eventual radical response that we should get prepared for. the government does not care about you so why should you spend your hard earned barely livable wage dollars on anything at all? aside from just boycotting, i’m still trying to find a solution for taxes? if anyone knows how americans can prevent their taxes going towards this plz share.

overall not sure if i said everything i wanted to say here, but i will definitely be writing more of my thoughts so i can further go into detail. for now i can sat do what you can to help Palestine. contact your representatives, donate, protest, share the posts of the surviving citizens remaining in Gaza as they document these ongoing terrors. keep your eyes on Gaza, stay alert, and stay safe.

(also i would like to state i’m just expressing my thoughts not trying to spread information, ((if anything i’m asking to be informed)), but trying to speak about what’s on my mind and in my heart). (also sorry for spelling and grammar errors, not focused on format focused on message)

Netflix and Disney really made a mistake making Avatar and Hamilton so easily available now so that we can use them to radicalize people into wanting to fight a tyrannical government. And ya know, maybe dismantle capitalism if we have some time left over.

[nuditorium]

we have reduced the beauty of the human body and the natural artistic expression exuded from the human body to the pornographic. people often have difficulties differentiating what is art in forms of the human physical to what is obscene and sexually deviant. The pornographic industry has massively corrupted people’s ideas on art and the erotic. All these powerful and beautiful things has been reduced to the hyper-sexualization of our exterior due to porn. The erotic has been synonymous with it being sexual when in reality it is not (Audre Lorde). Art in forms of sculptures, paintings, drawings that depict the nude human body has also been synonymous with the sexual when again- it is not.

Our minds have been highly manipulated and brainwashed to the point where we have allowed the porn industry to hyper-sexualize human bodies so that anytime we see a nude sculpture of a woman we equate it with porn, horniness, and a muse for a mans satisfaction which perpetuates sexual violence and harassment towards us. Our bodies are not inherently sexual and if people see it that way then it is important to understand and read about the dangers of hyper sexualization of a woman’s body and the dangers that comes with it when having that mindset.

I strongly dislike the comments made by many people accusing me of being h*rny or into certain sexual acts for simply posting a nude woman in forms of photography, paintings, or sculptures. It is frankly aggravating to be accused of hyper-sexualizing people and that the purpose of a nude woman is for my sexual satisfaction. The body of a woman is divine, artistic, empowering, and sublime. I post what I post because of those reasons, not because of (also) the hyper-sexualization of wlw’s and the association between being predatory and being a wlw. My sexual identity should have no place in such “discourse.” It is vital to radicalize, decolonize, and desexualize your ways of thinking, interpretations, assumptions and views of the world.
