It's just amazing to me that the American left, so much of it, throws their lot in with people whose values... I hope they don't share, but let's go through them. Cause values and customs make a difference, okay, and the people of Gaza -- by the way, if the Israelis did get rid of Hamas, they'd be doing a giant favor to the people of Gaza who hate Hamas too.
But let's go through the list. Because the Israelis look like us in most ways, values-wise. Maybe we're not doing it the right way. I don't know.
Religious tolerance. That doesn't exist in Gaza. You're either Muslim or an infidel, and you better be a Muslim.
Female freedom.
Free and fair elections.
Free speech.
Gay rights. I see these "Queers for Palestine" banners.
Tumblr media
James Kirchick: Did you hear their sister organization, "Blacks for the KKK"? I'm a gay man, I've lived in Berlin. This is a level of masochism that even I cannot comprehend.
Pedophilia. I'll put that under "don't ask." Child brides and so forth.
Equality of the sexes. I'll categorize that under "don't make me fucking laugh."
The fact that these people think that this is where they should be aligned with, that these are the values that you support?
==
How morally confused or self-loathing do you have to be to endorse a terrorist organization that wants to murder you, and would do so in a heartbeat?
How is this even a question?

Shit got me so hot I had to make a meme about it. When you're in Saudi. You do as the Saudis do. Or you fucking die. We are more patient here than you would be of us. Too much so. You have taken our kindess for a weakness. No we do not share your values no more than you share ours. You refuse to adapt to our values. And yet here you are. Why? You have come to the wrong place. The West will not adapt to you. Get in line. Or get the fuck out. Make a fucking choice.

Accusations of disparate treatment and “sandbagging” a Jewish parents’ group
Later in the complaint, Eisenberg alleges that the defendants “intentionally stifled…community members from forming a Jewish affinity group,” by failing to communicate with them, providing contradictory instructions, and requiring without explanation two faculty advisors instead of the single advisor other groups needed. Additionally, Eisenberg claims the Jewish group was not permitted to choose their own parent committee, a right afforded to other groups. According to the allegations, Riera “forced out the individuals chosen by the Jewish parents group and installed his own preferred candidates, who had no ties or involvement with the group’s formation” in order for him to “exercise personal control.”

Hypocrisy of the Post-Modernists
Concerning colonialism, how can post-modernists critique ad nauseum supposed Western offenses of cultural degradation in non-Western regions yet advocate for the complete break-down of Western values and society? You are committing intellectual colonialism.

Is there anything more privileged than western people saying that their country is the worst because of capitalism or the government? Be thankful that you live in a democratic country with health and education, that you don't have to fight in a war or beg for food. Be thankful that the racism you get is only about funny looks in the street and not actual people who actually wants you and your entire race dead. Be thankful and wake the fuck up, because the "the west is the worst" attitude is going to ruin the only coutries that fight for justice and equal rights, and we'll be left with extremists who kill for profit and oppression everywhere.

Judge Napolitano - Judging Freedom
Phil Giraldi: Netanyahu and US Freedom of Speech.
As far as billionaire donors are concerned, it's either their way or the highway. Judge Napolitano, along with Phil Girardi goes over these trends, and the cost to US liberties, freedom of speech and weaponizing of words. Americans either need to stand for traditional values or subjugate themselves to billionaires who don't care with they think or the values they hold.

idk just shocked at the amount of people who are surprised that war is messy and violent and shocking. that bad things happen when a war is going on that violence and death is common when a war is being fought. and that obviously the completely peaceful and nonviolent alternative of YEARS of settler colonialism and oppression and warfare and of land becoming smaller and smaller despite being theirs first is what we should strive for. lmao. this is not a call for more blood this is a call for people to realise no revolution or resistance has been without blood and you can't allow your reasonable shock about violence to be weaponised into upholding n supporting imperialism. idk.

hi very sorry to bother you with what is basically a vent but i NEED to tell somebody and i have no asian friends in fandom
anyway feel free to ignore this if you dont want to read >>>>
(incoming racism in fandom talk!)
do you ever see read fanfic or look at fanart of asian characters done by white people and go uh thats super racist???? ngl being chronically online sucks sometimes because i do actually want to participate in fandom stuff but also white people are..... so racist..... and it is constantly showing whenever they make fanfic or fanart or wtv. and that sucks.
like to give an example ive seen fanart of asian characters drawn with literal yellow skin and nobody said anything about it. it was so wild tbh. looked like a racist caricature from the 1800s or some shit
also ao3 is absolutely wack like sometimes idk whats going on with that site. lets just say the site creators definitely did not have antiracism as one of their goals when founding it because UHHHHHHHHH
engage with chinese cfandom instead of western cfandom for the same wack ass drama but minus the "i can't be racist! i think asians are hot!" racism and unapologetic cultural ignorance ✨

I feel bad for Starlo. (pt. 6)
I think the main thing we were supposed to see as Star's character flaw wasn't that he was acting proud/arrogant/reckless/badass (I mentioned that it's fine for him to act that way because he deserved it after everything good he did and obviously I still mean it 110%), but how that proud, charming guy was never the real him. He literally lost himself trying to feel worthy and please everyone in town. For years he's been acting the role (for a noble cause) but the price was him losing touch with the nerd he is.
Yet STILL, if only everyone had been a bit more gentle with him, I bet he'd have toned it down during the WE section, and even before that. But they all decided to let him know the truth at the worst possible time, right when he was supposed to make Clover his deputy. Right after they attacked the kid because they were jealous. It was supposed to be the PEAK of Starlo's day and they randomly threw the "we never liked any of this" bomb at him instead of trying to talk it out BEFORE things escalated. I'd be pissed too.
Oh yeah...
... his brother doesn't take him seriously apparently and doesn't realize that staying positive and strong 24/7 is tougher than it looks, especially with Starlo's insecurities (and yeah being a farmer is hard work, but so is being in Star's position; on the contrary, it's even TOUGHER) ...

Orion should try being an entertainer for a day and see what it's like, let alone doing it for years
...Solomon says how Star thought him and Crestina didn't support his life choices...
Tumblr media
... and how he rarely talks to his family...
Tumblr media
...and it suddenly came to me: in all these years, they didn't ever bother telling him that they did support him? They didn't bother trying to reach out to him more? Understand his passion (Ceroba doesn't get it either; once again, I don't blame Starlo for caring about Clover so much, that kid understood)? Have an honest talk?
No wonder Star stopped interacting with them for the most part. Maybe him feeling worthless came from his family? Who knows (or he was bullied as a kid for being a nerd). In any case, he clearly had to deal with these feelings by himself.
This man's been through some stuff.
P.S. I know he has flaws like everyone, but you've gotta ask yourself the important question: WHY? where did all this come from? But clearly nobody in his life ever asked themselves this. So it all kept building up till he almost killed his deputy for... status. He was SO desperate to feel valued and get his friends back (who made him feel less alone.. but ultimately just left when he needed someone the most, at least ONE person) that he was ready to go all the way to achieve what he'd been lacking his entire life: *feeling like he MATTERED.*
I wonder If he'll ever go 100% back to being his true self. Slim chances :'( this is him now. Half farmer half sheriff

americans who fearmonger about china's firewall are so funny because the more I witness my language being devalued in favor of propping up english, the way consumerism over here is aggressively american, the way our history is undermined while american history is presented as the One True History of the world, the more I wish brazil had a firewall too
