Transcription of an interview with a Nepali migrant worker in Kuwait:

Interviewer: So you went there to pay your debts?

To pay the debt. I have kids. Two kids to send to school.

Interviewer: And did you know that going there on a visit visa would be this difficult at the beginning?

The agent had told me it wouldn't be so difficult. That if it is difficult for you, we will change houses for you. They said you won't be working alone. There will be 3 others working with you. The faster you can work, the faster you can settle down.

Interviewer: How much did you spend to go to Kuwait?

For free. I didn't pay anything. It was free.

Interviewer: So you didn't pay anything?

Yes.

Interviewer: Not even a plane ticket?

No, I didn't have to pay.

Interviewer: So, that was also the reason you went?

Yes.

Interviewer: So, what happened when you arrived in Kuwait? Where were you taken first once you got off the airport?

We went to Dubai. Stayed one night, and then headed to Kuwait. And there was another Nepali in the office, who came to pick me up. And then I started working after 4-5 days.

Interviewer: Where were you living?

In the office. They were keeping me in their flat.

Interviewer: Were there other Nepali women with you?

Yes, there were a ton of them.

Interviewer: What did the others say to you?

Why did you come here? There is nothing but suffering for us here. We have suffered a lot staying here. They said they haven't been able to return to Nepal.

Interviewer: And then you understood that you have been trapped?

I found out the day I arrived. Why did you come? This is how they have kept us. We changed many homes and haven't found a single good home. Why did you come?

Interviewer: Is it true that they also put you up to wrong things there? Did you see it?

I don't know. My friend said it happened to her. She used to say that the Arabis would come to her room and laid hands on her.

Interviewer: So there was a Nepali in the office there, and their job was to sell you?

Yes. I didn't know. When I came to the office to say I won't work here, the Arabi said that I paid $1000 to buy you. Leave after you pay $1000 or I won't allow you to return to Nepal. I will make sure you never go back to Nepal.

Transcription end.

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. Many of our youth have no choice but to leave the country because there aren't a lot of opportunities here. The official average income is less than $300 a month but there are many many people who are making nowhere near even that. As of 2023, remittance makes up 26.6% of our GDP. The middle east is a popular destination for Nepali "migrant workers". I put that in quotes because if we were to call it what it actually is, it is human trafficking and modern day slavery. Workers have reported having their passports snatched on arrival. They are denied the right to return, and are stuck doing manual labour under terrible and abusive conditions. There are corpses that arrive everyday in the capital to the families from villages with little to their name that have lost their sole earer.

I was going to post some cute pictures of a temple I visited today but transcribing this interview was more important. I will never forgive the British empire and now the US-western imperialism for what it has done to the people of my country. Fuck India for continuing the legacy of the Brits by continuing to stifle our industrial development. And most of all, fuck the traitors in charge that have enabled this to happen and dare to call themselves communists. Nepal was never occupied by imperial powers but they didn't need to because neo-colonialism has done us over good. I hope the pigs remember no deed will be forgiven or forgotten. There is no peace waiting for them in this life or the afterlife.

Heard some US army dude say something about propaganda; that often as not the point is to produce absurd propaganda, so that it calls reporting on both sides into question.

If your side makes some absurd claim about the enemy killing their own civilians for not clapping or whatever, and the enemy points out your real war crimes, then, while your fanatics might believe you anyway, the response of the Educated Moderate would be: ‘Well, there’s a lot of misinformation going around, so it’s not really possible to know the facts for sure’ - tacitly going along with your goal of muddying the waters, and feeling like they’ve outsmarted you for it.

Funnily enough, very applicable to Radio Free Whatever and its absurd reporting with, say, the DPRK.

the idea that seeing footage of a genocide that is currently happening, or reading the pleas of those currently living through it, is some kind of negative media exposure for YOU has got to be one of the most shamelessly self centred and petty and selfish and fucking insanely narcissistically privileged sentiments you people are STILL spouting fucking 14 and a half months in

Most of us will never know the agony of being a parent that does everything to provide for their child, only to keep coming up empty. Of the immense suffering and self-loathing that comes with being responsible for this little life, and feeling like you're failing: to keep them safe, warm, sheltered, fed. Of holding your child, your toddler, your newborn, watching them slowly waste away from that relentless, gnawing hunger you can't stop (one that you feel yourself). Watching as they howl in pain, and the hollowness that comes when your child becomes too weak even to do that. All the while being totally helpless to stop it because it's not up to you.

Most of us will only see the aftermath of such a thing: a parent carrying the far-too-light shroud of their child, pictured under a headline that details how starvation has taken hold of some given population. Distant and removed from us.

Except that it isn't. There are so many desperate parents who've run out of options, for whom this isn't some abstraction, who are asking—begging—us for our help. Just so they'll be able to buy some of the shit canned food left from the last aid delivery, and a couple loaves of bread to feed their children with. Extortionately pricey because of scarcity, but it's enough to keep their children in a state of "acute malnutrition" rather than "catastrophic hunger", so they'll pay anything for it.

Attacks on NGOs & prevention of aid into Gaza puts every single person there at risk of a slow death due to starvation. Especially children, like Samah's newborn baby boy, her little 2 year-old girl, and their big sister (who's only 9). But we can help. What's pocket money for us, is an invaluable lifeline to parents like Samah right now. At a time when so many seem to have decided to live in an alternate universe in which deliberate starvation and mass slaughter of civilians is acceptable, we have to do what we can to oppose it. Not to push it away, to ignore it, to decide it's been going on so long we don't care or that it's hopeless so give up, but to grit our teeth, dig our heels in, and say "no, seriously, what the fuck are we doing here?"

tldr: donate to Samah so she can buy food for her kids so they don't starve to death. please. and thank you. :)

It's always fucked up to do callout shit to a trans woman to run her off the internet. It's always some shit like "[tranny I don't like] is a pedophile here's the evidence: [screenshot of her saying that kinks aren't evil] [screenshot of her interacting once with someone else who ships steven universe characters problematically] [screenshot of her calling her her girlfriend mommy once]" or it's "I head from a friend who heard from a mutual who read an anon that [tranny I don't like] is a fucked up evil bitch. stay safe out there" or "[tranny I don't like] said she's scared of men, including transmascs. I must new tell her my fantasies of wanting to kill her and also that she should let me fuck her instead of being a baeddel" etc. It's never good.

In contrast, it was incredibly funny when people ran John Green off the site, who is a rich asshole liberal who wrote dogshit, instead of like a poor disabled transfem who works the shittest minimum wage jobs or is a sex worker, and fairly often from the global south.

Someone should make a social media where I can tell zionists to kill themselves. "Cyberbullying kills". Promise? Tape it, release it.

Tell me again how the capitalist allies defeated Nazis? USSR burned their country to the ground to stop Nazis from getting any advantage. In the mean time capitalists were actively trading with them. Fascism is very profitable to capitalism.

For anyone bringing up Molotov Ribbentrop pact, go back and read all the surrounding history about what Western nations replied to USSR when asked for an alliance to stop Fascism at the early stages of WW2.

Why will they collaborate to fight fascism when there was socialism to be destroyed so workers all over the world would learn a lesson that they should not stand up for themselves.

i think we should start killing people who call transfeminism “infighting”. most sexist shit i have ever seen.
