Netflix just released the viewership numbers - 65M across 200 countries.

CMAs - 6M this year and down 11% from last year

CMAs done for sure.

Good luck finding anyone to broadcast them.

The award show is Completely irrelevant now, like weeks ago I was like screw them, and now they are screwed. That’s what they get for frucking over a black woman who does good country music (and black country artists as a whole)

It seems like beyonce got her lick back and brought along shaboozey to get his too . It was Revenge nothing more .

So when the CMAs decides to turn around and give these nominations I think we still snub them, why ? cause FQ the CMAs that’s why! We don’t need them. Treat them as if they are t word supporters: step back, never fight for them , and take pleasure and self gratification from watching them fall because they frucked with the wrong people, black ppl, or better yet black women to be exact

The police are a terrorist organization.

The writing is on the wall. Wake up or shut up.

I honestly look forward to the time when I can stop posting all the political stuff and get back to posting just the things that I want to post: cars, motorcycles, mountains and anything else that catches my attention. Unfortunately even if Harris wins MAGA and all their bullshit is not going away soon. Trump is still the head of it for now but even when he goes down in flames the rest of the assholes will be around for a long time. And as long as they are I will continue posting and reposting anti fascist content.

My parents are very big into “all lives matter.”

“We’re all human, so we all experience the same basic things out of life.”

Tell me, have you ever been called a faggot? “Well, no-“ There. I’ve experienced life differently than you. Okay? Let’s take it to the next level.

Do you ever feel in danger with a cop? “No! My grandpa was a cop, and he-“ Cool, wonderful. You inherently feeling safe with cops is an experience almost no brown or black people have experienced in the US.

Did you go into the hospital when you had your kids, knowing that you had a higher chance of dying because of the color of your skin? “What? No, of course not!” Great. You’ve experienced something that most black pregnant people don’t get to experience.

Have you ever been told that you need to go back to your country? “No, I was born here.” Then you’ve experienced life differently than most Latinx people in America. Most of them were born here, too.

Have you ever been called a terrorist? “No, I’m not a terrorist!” Then you’ve experienced life differently than, not only most Americans of Middle Eastern descent, but damn near every Muslim in the country. Not to mention Jewish, pagan, or Christian, or any other religion where people cover their hair.

When you leave the house, do you live with the knowledge that if you go missing, the only people who will look for you are your family? “No, the police-“ Then you’ve experienced a different world than Native Americans in America.

Have you ever been called a virus? “No! That’s insane!” Good for you, you’ve experienced life differently than Americans of East Asian descent.

Humans are humans, and we’re all beautiful and amazing. But saying “don’t see color” or that “all lives matter” completely diminishes the fact that other people have different experiences based on the color of their skin. You can’t simply say, “well, it should be ‘this’ way instead of ‘that’ way,” and expect the world to bend to your will.

Having said all this, these are centralized around America because I am American and can’t speak about other countries that I’m getting very limited information about and from.

Many people don't pay much mind to the massacres in "foreign countries."

It's too sad; it's too stressful. Or it's too complicated.

Well. If you listen for just a moment, I'll go and make one case simpler.

Israel is an apartheid state.

If that offends you: people in South Africa whom lived under Apartheid (Desmond Tutu; Winnie Madikizela-Mandela; Farid Esack) have repeatedly compared the situations.

In 2011, Desmond Tutu (Nobel Peace Prize) of the African National Congress dubbed the Palestinian situation worse than Apartheid.

In 2023, the African National Congress released a statement:

"The ANC is against the AU granting apartheid Israel any observer status. Africa’s colonial history and apartheid Israel’s present oppressive nature towards Palestine demands that all pressures be applied for the sake of all Palestinian people, including women, children and families."

The Nakba is the term given to the ethnic cleanse of 1947: the forced relocation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, destruction of settlements and cultural sites, massacres of thousands of people by militias, and dissolution of the Palestinian state.

The State of Israel later passed laws (guided by Zionism) that revoked Palestinian citizenship, "leased" Palestinian land to Israel, and placed the Arab-occupied area of West Jerusalem under martial law.

Please take note now:

Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.

Antisemitism is the specific form of racism and xenophobia propagated against Jewish people.

Anti-Zionism is the opposition to Jewish ethnonationalism, under which the State of Israel was founded.

Almost half of all national condemnations passed by the UNHRC (United Nations Human Rights Council) involved Israel.

The UNHRC was founded in 2006.

The concept of Israel as an exclusive ethnostate—under which genocide is perpetrated—cannot be allowed to continue.

The State of Israel considers me Jewish under the Law of Return, although traditional halakha law does not.

I do not see this as a question of actions from an ethnicity.

What occurs in Israel is a case of genocide perpetrated and sanctioned by an ethnonationalist government.

This has happened many, many times before. It's still happening:

Artsakh.

Xinjiang.

Darfur.

Ukraine.

Myanmar.

We cannot be "neutral" when this happens every day.

I understand that the world is stressful. Everyone feels like they can't do anything.

And so nothing gets done.

And more blood is spilled.

And we forget.

But please remember: Even solidarity is resistance.

And would you rather be quiet or be right?

Someone I once considered a close friend and confidant is now my manager at my job. I've come to hate their guts in a very short amount of time.

It's not just how they treat me now. It's made me finally see a pattern that I was always able to ignore when I could still argue with them. Before, there was a chance I could win the argument. Or at least I could fight against the way they spoke about people.

Now it isn't just disagreement. It's questioning authority. Now, they can punish me for disagreeing.

They never respected me. They don't respect anyone. They respect authority, almost regardless of who is wielding it and how. I'm completely disgusted with them.
