When I say I’m a Zionist, all I mean is that I want a country that already exists, that has existed for 75 years, to continue to exist. Not the current government, just the country itself. That shouldn’t be a controversial stance.
It’s not normal to need an entire movement around wanting an existing country to keep existing. It’s not normal that there’s an entire movement dedicated to the complete destruction of one singular country and no other.
Even if you insist on comparing Israel to the most evil regimes; Nazi Germany, apartheid South Africa - which you shouldn’t because it’s false and antisemitic, but even if you did - the Nazis were defeated, the Nazi occupation of other countries was defeated, but Germany is still a country. Apartheid ended, but South Africa is still a country. British colonies have fought for and won independence one by one, but Britain is still a country. In the US, slavery ended, segregation was struck down, but the US is still a country. It’s only Israel where people pose the ridiculous question of whether a country should still be a country.
And to everyone who says “I don’t think the US should exist either,” bullshit. You’re not doing anything about that. There is no movement to abolish the United States, and last time there was, that movement was comprised of the racist slave owners.
The fact that the argument over Israel’s existence has been normalized when there is no such argument about any other country in the world, is ridiculous. It’s insane that non-Jews can’t talk about Israel the way they talk about every other country, that they can’t criticize its government, military, or policies without jumping right to “and therefore Israel should be destroyed.” They say this about the one Jewish country and no others, and they really pretend they don’t see anything wrong with that.
Not to mention that abolishing a country is completely impractical in ways that have never occurred to them. Like there’s a sign on a border gate that says “Israel” that they can just paint over to say “Palestine” and that will be that.
Step 1: replace all the flags
Step 2: ???????
Step 3: utopia

How steeped in colonialism is our country? Spot what’s missing from Andrew Jackson’s biography on the White House webpage: https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/presidents/andrew-jackson/
ANSWER: There is no mention of the Indian Removal Act - a law signed into place in 1830 (the second year of his eight year ruling!) allowing Jackson to set aside tribal land west of the Mississippi in exchange for tribal lands occupied in the East. The Cherokee Indians of the Georgia state region took this up with the Supreme Court in a case titled “Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.” The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Cherokee Nation granting them the right to self-govern on their land and stating that Georgia’s extension of state law was unconstitutional. Jackson refused to enforce the courts decision and thus the Trail of Tears began. Keep in mind, the Cherokee Nation had just played a pivotal role in helping Andrew Jackson win the war of 1812. They were allies for the man, and this is how he treated them.
The Cherokee Nation did everything right according to the “system” and still, an abuse of power lead to destruction. This was one of the first legal precedents of our system exploiting and undermining the marginalized.
My life is steeped in hipocracy. Uphold Cherokee v. Georgia!! Accountability for abusive presidents!!

"Tamlin isn't your keeper."
"I'm his subject and he is my High Lord---"
"You are no one's subject." [Rhysand to Feyre]
(ACOMAF, p.g. 74)
First, when you're living in someone else's court, you are 100% their subject. It's just the way things are. You are subject to their rule.
"It is about how it reflects upon me, upon Rhys, and upon my court when my damned sister spends our money on wine and gambling and does nothing to contribute to this city! If my sister cannot be controlled, then why should we have the right to rule over anyone else?" [Feyre to Nesta]
(ACOSF, p.g. 34)
Second, either Feyre later realised that Rhysand was wrong about the people you rule over are your subjects, in which case the ACOMAF scene is very clearly a manipulation tactic to get Feyre to separate herself from Tamlin and the Spring Court without saying it or I'll just chalk this up to 'It doesn't apply when Feyre's the one doing it'

Some men would say they don't like independent women but, their mom was raising their siblings and working 2 jobs as a single parent and you admire her strength... make it make sense.

Tumblr: “just because you look fine on the outside doesn’t mean you’re not suffering on the inside 🥺😢”
Also tumblr: “the hostages look fine (besides all the visible injuries), which proves they were treated well.”
Tumblr: “listen up men! Just because a woman smiles at you doesn’t mean she likes you. Women do that when creepy guys make them uncomfortable as a defense mechanism against violence.”
Also tumblr: “the Israeli hostage smiled at her kidnapper who held her captive while she was injured and who still holds her brother hostage. She must be in love with him! 😍”
Tumblr: “stop saying ‘children are adaptable.’ Childhood trauma scars you for life!”
Also tumblr: “those child hostages look fine.”

You haven't answered mine. Why are you so insistent that those on this blog like AW? Why is it so personal to you? Are you that lonely? If so, I'm sorry for you but - guess what? AW doesn't care. All you're doing currently is showing people you need help. / Different anon. Because blogs that hate on Sebastian girlfriends make the whole fandom look bad. It’s blogs like this that have given the fandom the reputation that it’s full of jealous fan girls who hate any woman who is close to Seb. You make us all look bad and encourage bad behavior with the example you set Blogs like this are the ones Seb has criticized in interviews and caused him to leave SM. WE all have suffered because of blogs like this. It’s less about trying to change anyone’s mind and more about hoping you’ll stop being such horrible people who tarnish us all with your hate.
Oh we make YOU look bad? We aren’t threatening anyone or hurting anyone so what exactly are we doing to make you look bad? On the other hand, it’s psychos like some of you that threaten IG page mods, and other mods including ME on here because I don’t worship your precious Annabelle. Your argument sucks.
If you think calling you names is hate and threatening a mod isn’t, you need help.

People from the United States of America are wild. They'll say something like:
"Yes america has it's issues but the us is more than just it's government, we have so much culture and diversity and it's home to many minorities. Most of the citizens here don't agree with with the bad things that their lawmakers do."
But then refuse to extend that kind of understanding to others countries like Russia or China and proceed to blame citizens for things that are entirely out of their control + generalize about an entire country's population based on the actions of their government.

Notice how people always say 💩 like:
,,I outgrew of hating people!"
,,I outgrew my introversion!"
,,I outgrew of [anything that goes against society's standard]"
Like what are you flexing on?..
That you're delusional and that apparently liking people is soooo mature and adult?...
