i saw this column in the newspaper today, it says a lot about our current global government and i need to translate it and show you

It starts with words. "I look at the opening of the Holocaustmuseum. A lot of correct words are said: The holocaust didn't start with Auschwitz, it started with words. People weren't being seen as humans. It was being executed by officials and civil servants. Never again. The room is filled with officials. Today they will continue to try and form an far-right government. They put forth their upward support to the ongoing genocide in Gaza. They make another policy to dehumanize refugees more. My stomach hurts. None of it is right"

- Column by Neeldert van Laar in the Dutch newspaper NRC, 12/03/2024

"Psychological self harm" you selfish, selfish brat. "I don't want this content on my blog" you selfish brat. "I care about what directly affects me" YOU SELFISH BRAT. "Genocide is bad, but" You are complicit. You can throw all the buzzwords you want, it doesn't change you're a privileged american crying online that genocide makes you feel bad and it's fine because others are doing what you aren't anyway.

The fact that others are doing what I'm not is the reason why I don't feel the need to talk about it. And, yes. Emotional/psychological self harm is a real thing.

How are there Democrats, seriously legitimate fucking Democrats, not understanding how their man for president has lost a lot of support from POC over his actions in supporting Israel?

Every other accomplishment, wiping student debt, legalizing abortion...

None of that fucking matters.

He willingly aided, and fucking supported, what Israel has done to Palestine.

We, who were taught to fight genocide, enabled genocide.

Fuck your rhetoric.

Fuck your party lines.

Fuck your performative altruism.

If you cared about human rights as much as you claim to, you'd force a more progressive voice to the fray, even in an electoral year.

What else has to happen, before you see your chicken-hawk president for who he is?

The left is redefining "genocide"

The definition of "genocide" used to be, "the act of eradicating all members of a particular ethnic group." This is what Hitler attempted to do to the Jews and Roma, and it is what Hamas has sworn to do to the Jews of today. They launched their attempted genocide on October 7, 2023, in a coordinated attack that can be rightfully compared to 9/11.

But now, according to the left, "genocide" must be redefined to mean, "the act of defending oneself from terrorists who wish to eradicate one for being a member of a particular ethnic group." So if you want to bring all those kidnapped by Hamas home, you're "supporting genocide." If you believe raping and beheading babies and grannies on livestream is never justified, you're "supporting genocide." If you think it's evil to use civilians as meat shields, you're "supporting genocide." If you believe a given ethnic group should be free from the fear of eradication and allowed to live peacefully in their ancestral homeland (which is literally the definition of Zionism), you are "supporting genocide."

Welp, since leftism is apparently a race now, I guess I'm also "supporting genocide," since I would love to see the mindset that spawned the world's deadliest ideology (Marxism--which is also an anti-Semitic ideology, btw) die out completely and be stomped into oblivion. I will always oppose eradicating the Jews. So add me to the list of people who are "literally Hitler" for standing opposed to literal acolytes of Hitler. Who, by the way, was a socialist who named his party the National Socialists, which made him a leftist. Until the left changes that definition too, of course.

What the absolute fuck is going on in the United States?

There’s been another shooting in Tulsa? At a hospital? What the fuck is going on?

As a Canadian, I’m just…blown away and heartbroken by the amount of shootings and killings that take place at schools, universities, wherever

What the fuck is going on?

A human rights lawyer posting dehumanizing propaganda taken straight of the Nazi playbook in order to justify the eradication of the Palestinians is so fucking deranged like how have these people not just had a stroke from all the worms in their brains?

!!political post!!

It’s been two years, to the date.

Two horrible years.

Even though the war is across the sea from me, it was not for my friends. Instead, it was on their doorstep. It was not for the people I came from, far in my family tree where the roots begin to grow into the soil of time, instead it was on their gravesites and what they left behind as a legacy. It may be only a distant nightmare for me, but for too many people it is all too real. The bombings, the murder, the genocide, the barbarity is not simply a bad dream for them, it is their reality.

And yet, even still, the war continues.

And yet, even still, hope is not lost, and the fight will continue.

It should never have happened, but it will end, and those responsible will answer for their actions before almighty God.

Слава Україні, героям слава.

Very rare political post:

Wait, so… what you’re telling me… is that republicans have a bipartisan bill in Congress that could give them what they want, but… they refuse to vote for it because… and I quote, “I’m not willing to do too damn much right now to help a Democrat and to help Joe Biden’s approval rating.”

That’s… not… democracy? How is that representing the wants and desires of your people? Your people have abundantly made their stance clear, and your job is to represent them and their needs… and yet, out of nothing but sheer spite for a man on the opposing side of the political spectrum, you refuse to give your people what they want?

I’m having a hard time believing that America ISN’T living in the worst timeline…

Do you support the death penalty?

No. I find it inhumane and ultimately it does nothing. ESPECIALLY since our police force is incredibly corrupt. It’s just another tool in the system. I also don’t think we as humans should get to choose who lives and dies because of laws we ultimately made up.

Great example of how this “death penalty” concept can be manipulated. Down in Florida (USA) has officially passed a bill that will put child sex offenders to death. Everyone cheers yay no pedophiles right?

Who does Ron DeSantis (Florida Representative) call pedophiles non stop? The LGBTQIA community.

It’s entirely too cruel and manipulated easily.

When you're "vote blue no matter what" there's a difference between "I actually don't care about progress and I only want to ignore all the problems", versus

"please for the love of God don't let an actual dictator take power. Voting in a candidate that those in power dont approve of is impossible in the literal sense that it cannot happen, and if we split the votes then a fascist WILL take power, and then our already fascist nation will slide even further into oppression and cruelty and many marginalized communities will lose the majority of their rights. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Good news is that so far (as of December 21st 2023) all of their cases have either been dismissed or won in court! (source)

Help them pay the tickets

So who caved first, Truss or the lettuce?

The only political thing I will ever say on this blog is this:

For a short time in the early 1980′s, Liz Truss went to a Primary School in Paisley, Scotland and one Halloween she went dressed as Margaret Thatcher. Now this would have been during the time of the miners strikes and the Falklands war. What I’m getting at here is that she’s lucky to be alive after showing up to a school in Paisley as the devil incarnate, Thatcher was not well liked all over the UK as a whole but she was absolutely despised in Scotland. She shut down the shipbuilding industry here making our country practically a ghost town and we were her guinea pigs for the poll tax when it was first introduced. She hated us just as much as we grew to hate her. Also Scotland hasn’t voted Tory since 1955 and the rest of the world, including England (sorry but it’s true), wonder why Scotland wants independence? 

You may say, but you had a referendum in 2014, you voted no. Most of the people who voted no did so under false pretences, they were lied to like Boris lied about the hundreds of millions that would go into the NHS on his blunder bus during Brexit. Others, like the elderly, thanks to a lot of scaremongering, feared for their pensions. We were told that if we voted yes we would be forced out of the European Union and the only way to remain was to vote no. In 2016 62% of Scots voted remain in the Brexit referendum, we wanted to stay but because we are “part of the UK” our votes counted for nothing and we were forced out of the EU. You may also say, but the independence referendum was a once in a lifetime thing, you had your chance and you said no, well it was but wouldn’t you say all bets are off when we are not given what we were promised? When we vote for one thing and get another? Plus our then Scottish First Minister was the one who signed a document stating that he would never call for another referendum should we vote no, hence once in a lifetime, so he resigned. Our current First Minister, who is calling for a second referendum, signed no such thing. She was elected to power by the Scottish people under this promise: “The SNP Government was elected in an explicit manifesto pledge that the Scottish Parliament should have the right to consider an independence referendum if Scotland is faced with the threat of being dragged out of the EU against its will.” Now the Westminster government are telling her no, that now is not the time. They’ve been telling her this since Theresa May was Prime Minister. Now the current shambles of a Prime Minister says the only way to deal with our First Minister is to ignore her. Ignore a leader that was elected into the position she has today by the people of her country, unlike Liz Truss who was chosen as the lesser of two evils by Tory party members!

So to those now grown up kids who were in Thick Lizzie’s class, I say this: Well done on your strong will powers, it might have taken forty years but you may just have freed your country with that one act of self reserve! We’re about to have a third Prime Minister in one year, she’s gone and fucking resigned! Is it any wonder that Scotland wants out?

I will also say this, Scotland is not anti English, this is not an attack on England and it never was. Scotland is anti Westminster, a government that we never voted for telling us what we can and cannot do. Sneering and laughing at us and treating us like something on the bottom of their shoe. Anyone who watches what goes on in the Commons can see how our SNP MPs are treated with contempt every time they stand up and open their mouths, the Tories don’t even bother to hide it, we’re nobodies...but they sure do love draining us dry of the plentiful resources we provide, but that is another story. Because of my stance on this subject I’ve been constantly shouted at, unionists cannot have a calm conversation with you, all they can do is shout and be aggressive, I’ve had the words nationalist scum spat in my face many times, and my best friend has literally been physically spat on when she was in England during the indy ref and someone heard her Scottish accent, that was her crime, her accent. She was passing that person in the street talking on her phone and he just gobbed on her out of nowhere! I leave you with the wise words of the amazing Scottish actor, Peter Mullan, who sums up the feelings of the majority. Sorry for this rant, but I’m sure a lot of people don’t know much of this, they just see us as English hating scrounging jocks which we are not! We gave you the television, the telephone, penicillin and many other wonderful things. A man in Skelmorlie on the west coast of Scotland invented the Vanish line with soap! We’re not stupid, we’re not English hating yobs, we’re just tired and we want fairness! Something we will never get under Westminster rule!

Neighbours not Masters! Sounds fair no?

In the mood to be controversial because I confirmed that c137cest is essentially canon so here we go

People who's opinions and ideologies don't make any semblance of sense because they contradict each other (aside from the fact that their ideologies are just dumbfuck central): antiship rick and morty fans, "anarchocapitalists", puritan "leftists," liberals who think they're leftists, pro weed legalization but anti harm reduction and drug decriminalization, anyone who says they support marginalized groups who also support cops and harmful medicalized practices (asylums, conversion therapy, etc.), those who "support" trans people until they don't understand their gender identity or don't agree with their transition decisions.. fuck off, people who politely ask for their human rights (sorry but,, politely asking has never and will never give you rights. What we have in my country and in others was fought for tooth and nail {and is being backpedaled now that we're unwilling to be loud, angry, and impolite}).

Yeah sorry not sorry, suck my dick :3
