FREIER FALL (2013) dir. Stephan Lacant With a promising police career and a baby on the way, Marc's life seems to be right on track; then, he meets fellow policeman Kay. During their regular jogs, Marc experiences a never-before-felt sense of ease and effortlessness, and what it means to fall in love with another man. Torn between his family and his new feelings for Kay, Marc sees his world careening more and more out of control. Suddenly, his life is in free fall and Marc realizes that, try as he may, he can't make everyone happy; least of all himself. (link in title)

Oh my gosh THANK! YOU!!!

What I'm going to say will not be kind but at this point I am not interested in being polite. I'm angry because abortion ban in Poland is another issue outbreaking in central/south Europe and we almost get no sympathy and support from US citizens who are probably the majority on this site.

Under many posts explaining the situation, there are Americans telling us to "calm down because it's not as bad as it is in US" or on the contrary "this is what will happen to us if we won't vote Biden". There are many others messages from Americans, something about y'all not understanding what's going on in Europe because there are a lot of fake news because Trump bad and uwu could you explain please we are dummies?

Then let me say loud and clear: for a nation constantly telling others how they should act and what should they care about you are as dumb as a pair of shoes, although this may be offensive to shoes because they are at least pretty useful.

As in Greek tragedy you are deemed to repeat the mistakes of your ancestors. Why? Because you don't fucking listen.

You don't listen to the American Natives, you don't listen to American POC, LGBT folks, people with disabilities and many more. How can we expect you will listen to us? I can't count how many times people from Eastern Europe were scolded for something as small as liking cottagecore because "it's hurting the natives" while we are, literally, the natives. But you don't care because you never cared about historical context, never bothered about checking facts. Which leads us to this "uwu explain please because Mr Trump bad keeps flooding internet with fake news". You don't even realise how offending it is. Polish folks, Hungarians, Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian people risked their lives in the 40s to 80s to get news from the west because the regime didn't provided any. Nowadays Belarusian are having the internet totally cut off and have to use VPN which doesn't work almost at all, just like Northern Koreans (who are, like we once, risking their lives). And you cannot Google "Poland" "Ukraine" "Belarus"?

In your wild crusade against cultural appropriation and neo-colonialism you fail to notice that US, just like many other Western-European countries are indeed treating the rest of the Europe as their colonies. To this day many products sent to us are less nutritious than they are in the west, our countries are viewed as places to have fun for cheap price where vodka is strong and women are pretty and willing to go to bed with you for a dinner and a necklace, you look at us like some kind of wild people who only scream, fight and don't care about politics because we are not protesting in the form you want us to because we don't have the means for that.

All we want is some respect and now, with all the affairs and matters, support, keeping hashtags trending, writing letters and emails to politicians and organisations who could at least put some "peer pressure" on our countries and we cannot even ask for that.

It is a generalisation that I am not going to apologize for, no matter how many "not all Americans" comments I will see.

Also I didn't spoke for the Africans, Asians and South Americans because I am not qualified in any way to do so, but I am sure they can agree with me on that.

Americans can reblog but for fucks sake don't you dare add anything.

There’s a lot of people bringing valid criticism to Sweden and all the countries in Europe who have participated in colonialism. People are bringing into question a lot of cultural practices that are and have been harmful to minorities, ESPECIALLY black people and Muslims. But there’s also an issue that I want to bring up that I’ve seen well-meaning Americans do in this process:

When critiquing a country that you are not in, that you’ve never even been to, or even that you’ve been for… a year old less, there are nuances that you can miss. One thing that comes to mind is Americans making fun of the Stereotypical Bri’ish Accent, where they just did a Fucking Classism and lower class people from the UK, Welsh, Irish and the Scots got appropriately and rightfully fucking pissed. Americans did not understand why everyone was attacking them so viciously whenever they would do a hahah about their accent. How dare you bring up such a delicate topic such as school shootings when the whole internet is suddenly making fun of your accent the way people have done your entire life?! How dare you get so upset when we prod and poke at something that you actively have to change in order to get jobs and be respected by the high class?!

There was a case in Twitter where an angry Native American woman was critiquing Spain (rightfully so!) …..but she did it without knowing jack shit about Spain’s history. So as she was talking about colonisation, she was calling Spain that: SPAIN. None of you would know this, unless Spanish or knowing Spanish history, but Spain did not exist at the time of colonisation, it was CASTILLA. It was a Kingdom. And a very prominent fascist point is that it was Spain, it was a whole ass united country, because it plays into the rethoric that “Spain has been a country, wholly unified and homogenous, since its conception”. It undermines the mix of cultures that Spain actually is; it undermines that we are MADE with ARAB BLOOD, we have it deep in our country’s veins, our language and our food and our buildings and our way of life!

This native woman did not know. And so fascist Spanish twitter had a blast by picking on her, having fascists pile up on her so she’d keep being wrong and not see the well-meaning leftists saying “hey, YES, critique us, but please don’t say Spain has existed for this amount of time, because that’s wrong! Our country is not just white people, that’s also a fascist talking point!” Romani people from the south were especially pissed at this shit. This was huge in Spanish twitter, and a fascist politician from VOX even mentioned it and said, “The rest of the world knows we are an homogenous, unified country, and we must keep that reputation! That way is how we come back to the Golden Days of Spain!”

With this, I’m saying; critique Europe, PLEASE. Critique us, rip colonialism and the descendants of its privilege apart, but PLEASE, do not say shit like “socialism in Scandinavia can only work because of racism”, because that is a lie. Socialism can work ALONG people of color and immigrants, because people of color and immigrants fight tirelessly within these countries so that our systems work well, and keep being as good as they are. Rich, white politicians want to take it all away, want to keep colonialism as The Golden Days of Our Country, they WANT YOU ALL to think that Scandinavia has no people of color, no Muslims, no Chinese People.

My country, Spain, is a wonderfully diverse and culturally rich place that has had people of color since it became a country. It is a country that did not handle colonialism even well, and our hubris was what made it as ruinous as it is now. South and Central America deserve to critique and rip up apart, because WE PILLAGED AND RAPED AND DESTROYED and it is why the USA can do whatever it wants with a lot of these countries right now. Like many activists in my country say, “we came in thinking we were a big shot and all we did was ruin lives, including ours.” It’s the funniest thing, wish we had just ruined our country without colonisation first lmao.

Anyway, don’t make fun of accents. Don’t make fun of food, of how people dress, of how they talk and how they live. Don’t claim that Europe has no black people, no people of color. Listen to European activists of color when critiquing a country you do not know the history of. There’s no Wrong Accent, no Wrong Dialect, no Wrong Language, and to make fun of any is being a fucking classist most of the time. I just hope you all know, because THIS. IS. IMPORTANT.

I’m doing this is good faith, and I hope Americans who read this, do so in good faith, too. There’s so many people doing good work in Europe, trying to help immigrants and trans people and refugees, but do remember that this is an uphill battle for us as well. You’ve more in common with a lower class Andalucian Spaniard who had to change his accent because otherwise nobody would hire him or even give him a passing grade in Madrid than the upper class kid in Salamanca street who thinks Spain just has too many immigrants now, you know?

There’s nuance. There’s work to be done. So stop fucking saying fascists talking points, you idiots.

Anton Prinner, was a Hungarian painter, engraver and sculptor. Born in 1902, he was assigned female at birth, but in 1926 begun to present himself as a man, and adopted the name 'Anton', and did so until his death in 1983.

Prinner became a notable member in the avant garde art scene in Paris, becoming friends with Pablo Picasso and André Breton. He took part in the constructivist, figurativist and surrealist artistic movements. Prinner also invented "papyrogravure”, an engraving technique that uses cardboard instead of copper plates in the engraving process.

In later life, he became very secluded, and eventually died penniless and practically unknown.

"People say artists have to try and understand themselves. I’m doing the best I can not to understand myself. Which is a lot harder, a lot more meaningful. I’m a non-existentialist. I’m not myself: I’m everybody."

wonder if people are finally going to start realising that the relentlessly anti-european sentiment on this website - even if most of it is just "jokes" - does in fact harm many ethnic, cultural, and racial minorities and straight up normalises xenophobia like. you know five wealthy countries in western europe does not equal europe the continent right. it's okay to just admit you don't know much about geopolitics and history outside your own country! most of us don't! but if that's the case maybe think twice before you joke about or dismiss issues in those countries. and please don't just get all your information off tumblr jfc

DIE BITTEREN TRÄNEN DER PETRA VON KANT (1972) dir. Rainer Werner Fassbinder Petra von Kant is a successful fashion designer: arrogant, caustic, and self-satisfied. Some time ago, she divorced the husband she no longer loved, and, until recently, she has been in a fairly satisfactory S and M relationship with Marlene, her secretary, maid, and co-designer, whom she mistreats frequently. Enter Karin, a 23-year-old beauty who wants to be a model. Petra falls in love with Karin almost instantly, and invites her to move in. As Petra's obsession with the young model grows, things become far more complicated in this tale of intermingled love and hate. (link in title)
