Lol, rabidly hating anything makes you as bad as it, periodt, you gotta have nuance, when you scream at someone in public, they think you’re a weirdo and instantly, everything you say and do lose merit and value across the board, gotta slowly set up intricate traps and pitfalls to watch the world burn with that unspoken tomfoolery,

what is this even about? is this about my anti-US posts earlier today? i feel like thats the only thing ive ever openly just Hated on here, is that seriously your take on that? on me disliking the US? after all theyve done? thats fucking hilarious

ive posted something like this before but jared harris's accent in the terror is crazy good. like for it to not even be just a good northern irish accent but for it to specifically be a co. down accent !!! I've never heard a good ni accent from an actor whose not from here, but to have it so accurate I can tell which county its from !!! crazy !!!

someone wore this to the cricket world cup final in india. the channels broadcasting turned away the cameras and played ads.

he walked in front of millions AND the prime minister of India.

through this person's incredible bravery, Indians who stand with Palestine, Indians who have to spend their days under a fascist regime, have a representation that does them justice.

our voices of dissent have been crushed through harrowing persecution.

in 1981, India issued a postage stamp with the Indian and Palestinian flags flying side by side, and the words "Solidarity with the Palestinian people." India was the first non-arab country to recognize the state of Palestine.

the country i have lived in for 18 years is a dignified member of the post-colonial world. its citizens have moral backbones. they are often murdered or imprisoned for having it.

Can I say though Yi Sang and Aeng-du's instant connection and solidarity is one of my favorite things about this event, it's just so sweet and also so special how they find that feeling of safety just from also knowing someone from the homeland they have left behind while they remain so out of place in The City. It stands out so much when the general mentality of the world is "everyone for themselves" but S Corp's people and those who had to leave it behind seem to have found so much understanding and sympathy with each other.

Overall I find it so interesting and unique that more than any other District in The City the people of District 19 feel such genuine attachment to the land and its heritage, not just with Aeung-du, Kim and the rest of the Blade Lineage but going back to Dongbaek and Dongrang's EGOs too, it's just so special to see that very united sense of culture and heritage in a world that despite being multicultural and multilingual seems to have largely left such notions behind

max saying shit abt having the wrong passport when our immigration laws are holding families in rooms that are inhumane, when our government is right wing and deeply anti immigration, when the head of our biggest party wants to ban the qaran and so much fucking more anti immigration post colonial powerhouse bullshit that this fucking country spouts, is so fucking disgusting.

he doesn't know or give a single shit whats happening in the world let alone the country he so proudly wears the flag from.

"Where is my historically accurate hetalia representation of this and that!!!" Babe, I am so sorry to tell you, but history is very complicated and nuanced and layered and you cannot cram every facet and faction of a fraction of time that a population experienced into the cartoon men. Choose one viewpoint, write an essay and be done with it.

emery just said this in his post but idk why we're so surprised that people are insisting on the us and the uk existing in the isat world when people can barely comprehend that the game is focused on french culture

This is such a tangent btw but on the topic of guilt tripping and reblogs... I remember a few years back there were some terrible fires in Greece (and again this year, entire island villages are gone now) and at that time I had family who were caught in them. I can't describe the desperation I felt with these horrible things happening to my family and loved ones in my country. And I remember being frustrated and desperate with how no one around me in America really seemed to give a shit. I remember blogging asking people to PLEASE care please share something please reblog this link for mutual aid please think about the stories and fires etc etc etc. And the thing is I was very much in a state of grief myself, maybe not every word or action was perfectly reasonable, because I don't realistically expect everyone everywhere to care about every tragedy in the world. You can't. Emotionally it's just not possible, especially with all the stuff going on in the states rn too. Yeah it's a lot. It's not like I blog about every tragedy that ever happens either. I understand.

HOWEVER what I also remember was at this time there were a couple mutuals very clearly making vagueposts along the lines of "remember not everyone has the energy to care about everything in the world uwu" while I was posting about family who died and family who were drifting in the ocean for hours as their homes and loved ones burned. Listen. You have to understand sometimes that when a person in grief and frustration with things going on in their countries and communities impacts them very personally beg you to care... It's coming from a place of needing to see that care in the world in general. They're not holding a gun to your head Specifically saying you have to reblog the posts, if you don't have the energy just ignore it.

You don't have to go out of your way saying "um actually I can't care about the horrible stuff you and your family and your country are experiencing rn. I'm too busy focusing on my own stuff so can you be quiet or more reasonable with your grief thanks." Like. Just keep it to yourself then??? Have some fucking sympathy for other people and understand that maybe it's not always logical. The same way you don't have the emotional energy to think about every tragedy in the world, people who've been impacted by them often don't have the emotional energy to handle that alone and may seek somekinda community or solidarity. Idk. It's not about forcing shit on you sometimes it's not about you

Funniest part being, Angela Carini is just used to pretending to get hurt in order to chicken out of matches.

She did the same in 2022 against the Turkish athlete Busenaz Surmeneli.

Is it a coincidence that she did it both times when facing brown women? Hmmmm.

Girl just get into e-sports. You ain’t gonna get hurt that way, unless you willfull- er, accidentally stick your fingers into an electric socket.

[regulusrules]

olympics are all fun and games until you see how the people in your country shame the olympians that don't score, and suddenly all your hard work and your dream prospect of going there slowly diminishes as you realise that this might happen to you too if/when you reach there
