Sometimes I’m surprised by posts about writing POC characters that literally just say “Please don’t depict us as terrorists or hungry for oil” to which some people respond “This was really enlightening thank you :3” Like you had to be told???

YEAH OH MY GOD

Like. you're writing human people. "Don't depict us as terrorists or drug dealers please" should be fucking common sense

white people see a post like this and be Oh I Don't Do That! UwU congrats you're a decent fucking person?

me, born and raised in a place in which terrorism was usual: you mean like nobody’s actually gonna try to put a bomb under their car? or to shoot them from behind? wild

On DUP & British politics.

There have been quite a few posts on the British election and the possible working alliance with DUP and the conservatives.

There have been posts about their policies and about the failure of the election, but for the most part they’ve been completely ignoring the most volatile country in the UK and the most contentious issue falling out of this election.

I don’t know if I’m the best for this, but I’ll do what I can because it’s important and I haven’t seen much coverage outside of northern Irish and republican circles.

Northern Ireland.

here is fairly good mostly unbiased video on the north and south, for if you don’t know much about Ireland. It’s not perfect but it’ll give you some good background it’s from a year ago though, so pre-brexit where things have started ebbing away from situation improving.

So for the current events.

The good Friday agreement.

One of the clauses of the good Friday agreement is that England remain neutral on the issue of northern Ireland, which as far as I can tell is what people are most concerned about.

Sinn Féin has told Theresa May that it is a breach. Also it should be noted that the DUP were the only major party to oppose the good Friday agreement, which has been one of the most instrumental deals in ending large scale violence in northern Ireland. Just keep that in mind.

So by having the democratic UNIONIST party form government with english Tory MPs England is choosing the unionist side.

This has huge potential of reigniting the already existing tensions. the DUP was formed out of the Ulster Resistance, which was a paramilitary organization fighting in the troubles.

(also please note the massive hypocrisy of Theresa May working with the DUP after calling Jeremy Corbin a terrorist sympathizer for talking to Sinn Féin)

There are horrible things in the DUP platform but I want to be really clear that this isn’t just about abortion and gay marriage, this is about a war. This is about reigniting a conflict that need not be reignited. this is about the stability of the entire British isles, because it wasn’t contained during the troubles and it won’t be contained if it comes back.

TL;DR DUP was formed out of a paramilitary organization and it’s potential alliance with the tories has potential to reignite tensions and cause violence and should not be ignored.

@autismserenity you’re the one who has most recently posted something about the British situation so I’d like to tag you and also cause you have a lot of followers and I want people to pay attention to this.

there has been a terrorist attack in germany, two days after german courts left the catalonian president Puigdemont free bc of fucking course, he had not commited a felony so keeping him under arrest would be against human rights. today, mere seconds after the terrorist attack, there are spaniards celebrating the attack and saying “it’s what germans deserve” for letting Puigdemont free. 

just yesterday, a known journalist said LITERALLY to take german tourists hostage in spain until german authorities extradited puigdemont. spanish police has done nothing about it, because ofc it was a fascist who said it, and fascists here know that no matter what they do or say, they have impunity. german police is investigating the issue because they are at least less corrupt than ours

Just bear in mind how much spaniards hate catalonians, and how much they want dead everyone that defends and protects human rights if that means the victims are catalonian. imagine how fucking nauseated i feel

stay safe, german people. stay safe

i was replaying platinum and i got to the part of the bomb thing. and child/teenager me, who lived in a political environment where bombs could happen and indeed happened sometimes, didnt give it too much of a thought, after all, bombs are used sometimes just to destroy stuff and not to harm living beings, aka to send a political message and not to harm anyone. butnow that im older i understand why everyone was freaking out, because i can analyze it objectively

and thats why your environment is very important when you analyze stuff, but it’s not an excuse when youre a freaking adult

how fucking dare you, really, how fucking dare you

“what’s happening it’s your fault. we warned you. the police is only doing what they have to do, and they’re obeying the law and their orders”

there are people in hospitals, children hurt, and you fucking dare to say “we warned you”????? fuck this government, fuck them all, they deserve nothing
