Ok dash reloaded but I saw a tweet screenshot comparing Netanyahu in Congress with Nazi Germany and I think those comparisons are generally apt but they said it as "this is Worse than Nazi Germany because the world legitimizes it" and I need you guys to know the world DID legitimize Nazi Germany. Their violence and racism was largely known, their positions were shared by leaders in many countries in the imperial core, and they operated pretty much with impunity for years before the war, which started not because other countries cared about Jews or Roma or anyone else's lives, but because Germany started threatening the power of other European nations. It's important to me that we all know this

Okay, so here’s the updated plans for fighting against youtube's new ai age policy and privacy violating rule (I believe in us!)

Plan 1. Black out and leave youtube/ youtube boycott

It’s a very simple plan, but this time we just leave until it’s fully reversed. That way YouTube doesn’t just ignore us and the original black out. We have to stand our ground and show them we aren’t going to give up. We have to last as long as possible and let their revenue drain until they concede or someone else comes in and makes another platform (that isn’t based on politics but the same ideas as the original YouTube)

Plus I would like to add some small extra things that will help with the blackout though. That being mass downloading YouTube content. Now this might be the easiest thing for certain people, but it’s something.

Mass downloading YouTube content can help in case there a couple of videos or channels you want to watch during the blackout. You can also use this to download new youtube videos from places like twitter since it won't count towards ads or view

(I use something called a ytdlp but there might be better options for you out there, there might even be built in ones in a web browser or two, just search around the place, you'll find it eventually)

There is also alternate YouTube apps that block ads (like Jdownloader and newpipe) that might work within the black out, but I'm worried that it would still count towards views and still help YouTube out in that smallest of ways, more research is needed, but it is an option (though I still recommended downloading new videos just to avoid the entire views thing)

Plan 2. Bugging the crap out of them.

Now since they have a mail box for us to use, that can be used for our advantage here. So here’s what we do, send them letters asking them to reverse the decision, that way they will be overwhelmed by letters that have to eventually give up. Now I don't want you guys to send out slurs, curses or whatever. I need you guys to be kind and critical. I want you to point everything wrong with this and why it is destined to fail and leave the company crumbling

In addition to these letters, if at all possible, I want you guys to include photos of comments made by other people (Twitter, tumblr, whatever) criticizing this and making it known that it’s not just you guys who are angry, but people all over too.

Now we can also include emails in this, but that might be harder than excepted, but in case you do want to send in a email, you can send it that way

I can't find any other way of sending them an email, but good to you if you do find it (though I would recommend a letter much more)

UPDATE, someone has pointed out that we should all send out our letters on a single day, Im taking around August 5th about a week before the thing actually rolls out and than maybe we’ll do another batch on the 8th just in case

Make sure you mass send a bunch of letters

WIP plan 3, legal bull

I wish I could say this plan was finished, but unfortunately, it is not at all. All we have to go for here to filing a complaint towards the FTC about this and or using what this user recommneds (though I can't fully say if it'll work or not)

This plan will be worked on as much as possible

I want everyone if they can to spread to outside of tumblr, talk about it on twitter, facebook, blusky, youtube itself, this plan has to spread to as much people as possible.

I believe we can do our best and shine a light through these horrible times, we can be light in the darkness that will help others shine a burn a hole in this horrible system of censorship

I believe in every last one of you, I believe you can do good and spread good, because in your hearts, you are good

If you have any other ideas, let me know, cause i know more minds are better than one.

Good luck!

Comics is a medium with a rich history of celebrated works across all genres, including the erotic. It is also a format that has been overwhelmingly censored and banned due to the strict control of the Comics Code Authority of the 1950s, which have only eased in the last few decades.  But recent years have seen an incredible increase in restrictive anti-erotica policies- Patreon, Gumroad, Stripe, Etsy, itch.io and more have all blamed “payment processing partners” for their new restrictive policies. While these are all US-based companies, their monopoly ultimately affects artists and non-english platforms around the world.

people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop

That is, my brain went:

Doll is 75cm full length from the tip of beak to the tip of tail, fully poseable with wire skeleton inside. Green parts glow in UV light.

Head and claws are printed in durable resin. Fabric fur, feathers, wire, acrylic paint, varnish.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/29/jewish-father-attack-italy-service-station

regardless of your opinion of the guardian, I think we can agree that this is fucked up. it does make me feel hesitant to support movement if people are going with the sentiment that Hitler was right.

My opinion of the guardian tells me this is likely worse than they're framing it as because they're not a publication that is terribly friendly to the Jewish people. Carrying on,

According to the victim – a 52-year-old French Jew who lives in France and gave his name only as Elie– the incident began when a cashier shouted “Free Palestine”, upon noticing that he and his son were wearing kippahs.

The incident was captured on video by the father. In the video several individuals direct verbal abuse at the pair, including “Go back to your country, murderers”, “This isn’t Gaza, this is Milan, this is Italy”, and “You’ll end up in hell sooner or later”.

He reported that more and more people inside the service station joined in the verbal abuse as he and his son made their way to the restroom. At least three individuals began pushing him, apparently trying to force him out of the rest area.

‘‘I ended up on the ground, and they took advantage of that like animals, kicking me in the stomach,’’ Elie told Il Corriere della Sera newspaper. ‘‘Then one of them tried to pull me up and aimed a blow at my face, but I managed to block it. Amid the chaos of the scuffle, I caught a glimpse of my son, who – thankfully – a woman had taken aside and was holding safely in a corner.

“I started shouting ‘Police! Police! Police!’ he added, ‘‘and only then did they stop and go back upstairs.”

Police have launched an investigation into the attack, which has been condemned by politicians and Jewish associations.

Commenting on the incident, Noemi Di Segni, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, said: “If simply being visibly Jewish is enough to provoke such a violent attack – if a family cannot safely move through public spaces in this country – then the legitimisation of hatred and antisemitism has become viral. This is about everyone’s freedom being at risk. Holding on to respect and dignity for every person is the only path that protects us all.”

Gonna put the rest of the article under a cut, but this right here is a textbook example of why Israel needs to exist. This isn't antizionism, it's Antisemitism plain and simple, they saw kippahs and attacked, and the mob joined right in. Welcome to the wonderful world of pattern recognition and creeping fascism, with the added bonus of it coming from both the right and left side of the political aisle.

Antisemitic incidents increased in Germany by 75% from 2021 to 2023, 185% in France and 82% in the UK.

Elie told Il Corriere that ‘‘given the climate of hatred that has developed across Europe toward the Jewish community, I expected it. But I never thought it would happen to me, especially not in Italy, which I had always considered a tolerant country, a place where one could feel safe.

“These kinds of incidents are becoming more and more frequent,,” he added.

Antisemitic incidents have risen across countries with the largest Jewish communities outside Israel, according to the Anti-Defamation League’s J7 taskforce report published in May.

The report states that attacks on Jewish schools, synagogues and businesses, alongside individuals, have increased significantly, in some cases more than doubling in 2023 compared with the previous year.

Antisemitic incidents increased in Germany by 75% from 2021 to 2023, 185% in France and 82% in the UK.

On Friday, an Israeli tourist had part of his ear ripped off by an attacker at a beach while on holiday in Greece and was then was arrested by police over alleged racist comments he made to his assailant, he told the Israeli news broadcaster Channel 12.

The Israeli man said the altercation started when a man started filming them and chanting: “Free Palestine, fuck Israel, I am Hamas.”

A cruise liner carrying Israeli tourists was forced on 22 July to reroute to Cyprus after being turned away from the Greek island of Syros after a quayside protest over the Gaza war. About 1,600 Israeli passengers onboard the Crown Iris were prevented from disembarking amid safety concerns when more than 300 demonstrators on the Cycladic isle made clear they were unwelcome over Israel’s conduct during the war in Gaza and its treatment of Palestinians.

Marina Rosenberg, the senior vice-president of international affairs at the Anti-Defamation League, said that because people are being harassed just for being Jewish, “many Jews around the world are hiding their Jewish symbols”, such as the Star of David.

On Tuesday federal prosecutors in Germany filed terrorism charges against a Syrian man accused of stabbing a Spanish tourist at Berlin’s Holocaust memorial in February – an attack that the authorities say was intended to demonstrate allegiance to Islamic State.

In France in May 2024 police shot dead an Algerian man who had set fire to a synagogue in Rouen and threatened officers with a knife.
