The ongoing Queerphobic Violence ever present in the US today- especially targeting Trans People- can only be understood as a continuation of the White Supremacist Settler Colonial project of the Fascist US State and their allies in Churches and Corporations.

The White Supremacist project- continued by the US today- started in the Monarchies of Western Europe just as they became Colonialist Powers, during the process of Primitive Accumulation, that would be the foundations of Modern States and Capitalism. 

The Privatization of Land and Public Resources, coincided with the persecution of Non-State Sanctioned Practices of Gender, Sexuality, and Spirituality during the Witch Trials, which included and paralled earlier Pogroms  against Jewish People. This relatively recent event was the precursor to both- Modern Queerphobia and White Supremacy.

As these States set up Colonial Holdings they suppressed the Indigenous Cultures of the rest of the world- including their practices of Gender and Sexuality- through the largest sequence of Genocides the world has ever seen.

The US is a Settler Colonial State built on the continuing Genocide of Indigenous Peoples, and this wave of Queerphobic Violence serves to further the persistence of Settler Colonialism- by attempting to erase Non-White and Queer practices. 

Queer People, Jewish People, Disabled People, and BIPOC of all Genders and Sexualities, have the same interest- we are Resisting Genocide by the White Supremacist State. By working together, and forming Communities of Love and Solidarity, we can survive this, as we always have!

Researching the history/cultural of Portugal for my trip in April and I swear, doing this always shows how skewed US early public education is.

I just started reading about the Iberian Peninsula, how Spain and Portugal became the politically defined countries we see today. And I knew about "Moors" (which to me is a slur and meant to discredit/dilute North African cultures who lived/ruled in Europe). But I find it telling that where I was educated (and due to a quirk of districting/busing maps, I was in well funded schools) not one mention was made Muslim Iberia (Al-Andalus) which existed for 700+ years. I mean what a huge impact on that geographic area, and yes, there still is evidence of the contributions from that time but a lot were destroyed. But still, omitting that from European History is such a disservice.

Anyway, having fun filling in the educational gaps. And considering I was in Spain during high school, and the teachers still didn't really touch on this and I visited Seville and the Alhambra and a lot was misrepresented...yeah filling in the gaps now.

We should absolutely be afraid of where this is going.

Thank you for defending Nazis. They're just little guys. Just misunderstood, with genuine grievances. I noticed you accidentally forgot to defend child rapists. Dumb commies like you are all the same 🙄

Piss on the poor! Also I'm not a commie and never claimed to be one.

#anyway 'Germany was hurting after WWI which allowed Hitler to rise to power' #and 'antisemitism was escalating at an alarming rate which created a very dangerous situation for Europe's Jewish population' #and 'by leaning into the antisemitism that already existed in Germany at the time Hitler was able to rapidly radicalize Germany's population #are all just like. history. ever read a world history textbook or did you sleep all through your history classes? #case in point if you're not able to identify why or how things got that bad then you're doomed to follow the same path

Did you notice the sticker?

In the late 1970s, one of the most popular slogans in the Gay and Lesbian movement in Catalonia was "Maricon? Sí, gràcies" (Catalan language for "Faggot? Yes, thanks") in the shape of the famous "Nuclear? No, thanks" sign.

You should check out this edition of GRANTA. It was published just before or after (I can’t remember exactly when) Brexit happened. When the UK (finally) left the Bloc.

It has lots of fascinating accounts of memoir from across Europe, going back into the history of the continent, unto the last century, alongside clips from modern times. It’s really a terrific read. Makes you think. Give it a shot.
