Youth Liberation Ann Arbor

This is my banner which is originally from Youth Liberation Ann Arbor, a youth-led organisation that existed back in the 70s.

Its programme is interesting because it provides a direct view into how radical views were defined then versus the barriers that now persists in our contemporary movement. Namely, as society becomes more conservative and "radicals" become more compromising of their values, they end up adopting protectionist and paternalist point of views within the youth liberation movement.

There's plenty of example I could give, some more controversial than others in this time and age so I will withhold further comments.

This is an article that was made a while back about Youth Liberation Ann Arbor: https://www.teenvogue.com/story/youth-liberation-movement

“Kids shouldn’t learn about periods” what

what do you even mean. I got my period at 11 and know people who got it younger

If you met someone with the same last name as you, how surprised would you be?

Not at all, it's very common

A little surprised, but wouldn't immediately assume a connection

I would be surprised and assume there was some relation

I would be very surprised that I *hadn't* met this person, we must be related

Does anyone else with this last name even exist?

forgive me for being the ruiner of joy but everytime I look at the cities of western europe (especially london and paris) I am always thinking of how all of it was built using the resources extracted from their colonies in asia and africa

I'm always very adamant about referring to aotearoa as part of polynesia. because it is!!!

[crabussy]

I feel like the harder that fact is to ignore, the harder it is to see aotearoa as some kind of "england: the sequel" bullshit. the endless farmland where native forest should be. the overwhelmingly pākehā/white population. the constant erasure of māori history and knowledge and values and language. this isn't taking place in "new zealand". it's taking place in aotearoa. it's happening in polynesia.

actually fucking disgusting that glasses cost any money like if you actually think about it for more than a few seconds it is so unconscionably inhumane. this goes for things like insulin and mobility aids and hearing aids too ofc but fuck man, fucking glasses? the thing you need to fucking see? its genuinely sickening and inhumanly evil that those cost ANYTHING.

It's actually gross to think about how all of these things can't be funded but then somehow there's always funds for the useless police and military and to bail out rich corporations because of their dumb economic decisions. Funding a genocide but can't be arsed to make a more accessible world for everybody.

It's 2047 and Tumblr has perfected its automated detection system for mature content. Every post on your dash is blurred, including a landscape painting and cutesy novelty tea set. The only things that appear before you in striking clarity are sexy generative AI girl ads and stolen nsfw photos of strangers' junk. The children are finally safe.

I wish they made it even marginally possible to get a job like I’m so fucking sorry I don’t have a rare but also highly demanded skillset, an agreeable disposition, and the ability to survive off of three nickels a week I’m soooo sorry

This is a video uploaded by Ben-Gvir that shows the way they are treating the floatilla hostages. You can watch the video for yourself and see how horrible the treatment and conditions are. He posted this video with the caption "Welcome to Israel"

If this is how they treat westerners on camera when they know they're going to post the footage, can you imagine the cruelty Palestinians have to face? Imagine what they're doing to Palestinians when no one is watching

[stoptheantisemitism]

There is something to be said about how Zionists feel like they can make videos like this without any blowback.

They're protected by their state and the state of Israel encourages them to act this way. We are now at a point that Israelis feel like they can get away with anything if they can get away with genocide

Trans men are men, therefore they have male privilege. If you say they don’t, you’re saying trans men aren’t actually men.

We’re using the same word to refer to two different things. There’s men (gender) and men (class).

Trans men are men (gender). Cis men are men (gender). -> Cis men are included in men (class). Trans men aren’t because the patriarchy doesn’t recognize trans men as men. -> Being a member of men (class) is what gives you male privilege and the power that comes with it.

Therefore:

Trans men don’t have male privilege.

It's a firmly held belief of mine, and I say this as a Muslim, that we should strive to eradicate religion from every facet of public life and prevent it from institutionalising or forming a civil society in any meaningful way. Religious leaders, whether imams, priests, bhikkhus, or rabbis, should be completely banned from platforming their position to comment on public or political matters or swaying opinion in any direction. Religious belief is a purely personal matter and should not impede human affairs here on the mortal plane.

I think you should be able to afford to live on your own and completely independently off minimum wage.

I think you should be able to afford to live on your own and completely independently off disability, welfare, unemployment, etc tbh

when i was a kid i decided that killing people was bad therefore war was bad therefore the military was evil. and adults would tell me it's more nuanced than that and i would understand when i grew up. well i'm a grown up now and idk i still think that killing people is bad and war is bad and the military is evil
