I just saw the IOF kidnap Palestinian fathers and sons... They are torturing them. Humiliating them. Stripping them naked and then killing them.. and posting it online.
That is . .That is what they can do? Not fight in a war, just kidnap and torture.
Oh how i fucking despise every single fuck who said "my heart goes out for the Israeli civilians." I fucking despise them.
What is happening in the west bank is horrific...

At-will employment is inherently ableist garbage.
I've seen my partner go through 3 different jobs that all found various ways to fire them or pressure them to quit because the "accommodations" given helped nobody but the company.
When you give companies the power to terminate employment at their own discretion, they will use it at every opportunity they can, especially towards people who are deemed "difficult" (i.e., disabled).
They will always find a way around discrimination laws.

Honestly I think people on here really greatly under acknowledge and recognize the large impact / large trauma that comes from intergenerational trauma from colonization, systemic racism, and not-white America centered trauma. And I know that likely has to do with how massively white tumblr dot com is, but it really isn't until I was around my writing partner that has known me for more than half my life and talking with another peer with Chinese-Indonesian background did it really occur to me how intensely pervasive intergenerational trauma due to US involvement in SE Asia is and how it plays / impacts my life.
A lot of non-America centered trauma and abuse really doesn't fall into any of the real common ways people talk about abuse, neglect and trauma because a lot of that sort of trauma is way more complex and nuanced because a lot of the nature of HOW / WHY that abuse, neglect and trauma occurred is inherently tied a lot more into a history of community / collective trauma and abuse and the ways the individuals from those areas 1) had to survive and 2) the resources that they had available to work with and 3) the inability / difficulty for individuals who are transmitting that intergenerational trauma to realize that they are not in that situation anymore and thus not unintentionally recreate the environment / mindset / trauma for the kids going on
And I'm saying "inability / difficulty" in this case because while I agree that the rhetoric of "it doesn't matter if an abuser has trauma, they could have not continued it" is true in most cases, in my experience especially with my own intergenerational trauma, some people have systemically been stripped of basically any real resources or aid or opportunity or space to really "stop the cycle of abuse" and even at their obvious BEST attempts, they still end up in a position where they systemically really can't prevent it from passing on
It was a joke - a very real joke, but that is something I appreciate with my close friends because it reminds me to check my anxieties against reality - that I "act like I still am in Indonesia" (which for the record, I have never been in Indonesia, I'm the only one in my family that hasn't because I wasn't born when they were there) as a call back to when I was commentating on the complex and dynamic financial situation my family had growing up to which my friend told me "Yeah, but it doesn't matter if you had money or not if your dad constantly lived like he was still in Indonesia" which like... 100% true
And its honestly a really fucking hard thing to work through and overcome. Factually, ON MY OWN - ie not including my fiance who is ALSO in a similar situation on his own, I am financially pretty well off. Every month I make good savings and I have a pretty fat cushion in case things go bad, and so I very much CAN afford to buy myself a $6 fidget toy, but spending that $6 feels like fucking death itself a lot of the time.
I honestly don't know if I'll ever feel as if my financial situation is anything other than broke, not because of income or anything, but just because the factual amount of money I make isn't what controls if I feel financially comfortable / well off or not. I could probably have a half million in the bank and still be sweating about spending $6 on a fidget toy.
And honestly, I was watching 90 day fiance with my friends when I was traveling, and one of the dynamics (for those that know Ashley and Manuel) REALLY made it apparent how disconnected multi-generational Americans can be towards immigrant / immigrant families that have had to come to America for a chance at a better life. It's an experience - a trauma that a lot of people who are not an immigrant themselves or a first generation American to wrap their head around and fathom.
And honestly, I wish there was more talk about it. I wish there were more people with that history talking about it.
(I 'lowkey' start venting under here so Imma put it under the cut since it detracts somewhat from the point but its also worth stating)
I wish there were more people openly discussing how absolutely fucked it is that the US gets to come into countries, INTENTIONALLY fuck it up as a CONFIRMED and ADMITTED method to 'instill democracy / capitalism', and then the same people that from the same country that the US fucked over - for PURE survival - have to immigrate for a chance of living a life that is anything other than rough and a constant struggle.
Some people really wonder why it is that our system has such a foul taste in our mouth for America, I know some people think that because before fusing, >I< wondered why XIV was so deeply and intensely bitter about all things American, and I absolutely get it.
Indonesia was literally intentionally and systemically fucked over by the US Military. That fucking over resulting in immense trauma to my dad that not only immensely translated to me, but also made him EXTREMELY subservient in a "keep your head down, lick the boots of the most powerful person, and enjoy living under the boot of those in power because its the only way to have peace" which is something we - specifically XIV in the past - had internalized deeply which is why were were pretty far down the right wing path and why - when XIV looked at it closer and immediately saw past it - flipped to hard Anti-America values. Because its FUCKED that the US gets to come and ruin a country and then have the victims come and having the same victims "thankfully" licking the boots of the US for giving them a "better life".
Its honestly awful and literally no one talks about it and I know its not just Indonesia that has this. Its the fucking US's modus operandi and its fucking awful.
The US is a place you can come "to get a better life" largely because they fucking ruined most of the other places ability to have a good life.

The USA just signed off a nearly 100b military aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But one of these is not like the others.
Ukraine was invaded by Russia.
Taiwan has been pressured to unify with the mainland and in some cases is actively erased and written off as part of china (eg. some airline companies are forbade from flying to Taiwan by china because 'Taiwan doesn't exist')
Israel is the aggressors, they're committing genocide. Palestine is the one being invaded, erased and demonised.
26 billion dollars is to be spent on 'military aid' for Israel, most of which will be weapons. The news articles often focus on Ukraine because it got the most money, the billions that are going towards the Gaza genocide barely get a mention in US news.
And any mention describes the funding as 'to fight Hamas militants and fend off airstrikes from Iran', not 'massacring Palestinians and antagonising other countries'.
It's fucking sick.
Don't be swayed by the propaganda, don't be ignorant, don't forget.
From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

What If I told you there was a country in the Middle East that was having an election this year where both candidates supported and funded genocide?
The people there were so propagandised that anyone who suggested a candidate that didn’t support genocide got screamed at and harassed not just by the country but by its allies.
And where they were so obsessed with military action that it was increasing the speed of climate change and putting the entire world at risk.
You would probably be angry and demanding action.
This country does exist but it’s not in the Middle East that country is the US.

i'm sorry but if a celebrity is speaking publicly in support of palestine, i could not give less of a fuck if it's just performative. it's more than a lot of people are doing right now and if they're speaking the truth and spreading the word, that's all that matters to me.

Usamericans: nooo you're generalizing!! Not all of us are ignorant and bad at geography!! You're just jealous of how amazing we are and that you live in a poor shithole country. I'm not racist, you're racist for saying we're bad at geography!
Also usamericans: all argentinians are nazis and racists and them winning a futbol tournaments it's the same as genocide

Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I feel like the Supreme Court waited until the debate to make these decisions so people would be distracted, just like how all the huge strikes on Gaza have been during major televised events in the US. They’re trying to distract us from what is going on.

We need to start calling the US, Canada, Australia and NZ settler colonies too. I know there's a lot more of them but let's start with the funniest.
