Western analyses of imperialism is like a frog's analysis of a well.

#and i mean westerners of all races #case in point: arab tankies in the western diaspora #tankie-hood is inverted us exceptionalism. even when you hate the imperialist your entire worldview is defined by and centered around it #and erases the myriad other global south realities the same way #which is what the imperial core does— blind you to the rest of the world #it's like you're in the middle of the stadium lights and everyone else is in shadow #it's not just living in the west. it's the mentality of having grown up there #the stadium light is in your brain and you will always be squinting at everyone else #how on earth can you understand the periphery that way #western diaspora are also obsessed with their internal race politics so they don't have to grasp the reality #of being beneficiaries of the same imperialism that victimized their families #so they conflate their resentment at not being allowed to sit at the table with the struggle to not be eaten on it #anyway the only real anti-imperialist political commentary from the west comes from first generation immigrants #none of the others know anything that global south people dont understand better #western imperialism #colonialism #us exceptionalism #us imperialism #knee of huss

Drops my newest wip casually

#this is a local map for an empire on an alien planet!#the empire is known as TrrNak'an which roughly translates to “The Imperial state at the center of the World”#well technically just “Central nation (relating to the Empire)” but that's a nerd translation #this planet is native to a sapient species of 8 limbed avian (beaks and feathers and wings) creatures #they evolved in the highlands of this extremely mountainous world #this is a diagetic map <3 #my art #art #worldbuilding

This knee-jerk reaction by western “leftists” to defend prostitution when they hear about sex trade abolitionism is frankly disgusting and chauvinistic. It’s weird how comfortable we are circling back to choice feminism when it makes settlers/westerners feel sexually empowered and affirmed at the expense of gender oppressed people in the global south.

#Some of you are way too comfortable with defending prostitution because you center imperial ‘’feminist’’ ideas and experiences #marxfem

@ my fellow white americans i suggest picking up a history book and educating yourself on our country's involvement in korea's history and the korean war before you start running your mouth about SK's military practices or saying fuck SK as a whole.... cause it's not a good look 😳

#mposting #hot take of the morning #i'm not saying i support mandatory conscription but i AM saying #if you live in THEEEE center of imperialism and colonialism #maybe sit this one out and don't talk #cause white ppl thinking they know what's best for koreans is quite literally how we got here so uhhhhh #ANYWAY

Is anyone overtaken by anger whenever they think of Hollywood's tendency to remake whole ass foreign movies instead of subbing of even dubbing the damn thing because god forbid the average yankee is exposed to a non anglo culture

Or is it just me?

#malu.text #this post was inspired by me watching the original ringu #and being reminded of the speak no evil remake of the dannish movie of the same name from 20-FUCKING-22 #like. I'm Brazilian #I've been watching american movies since forever cause they saturate our market #but even with the success of parasite 2019 hollywood still insists on coddling its viewers #by continuing to center usamerican views in foreign movies #the double standards and cultural imperialism is fucking ridiculous

saw this tiktok of an american guy who moved to belgium and he's going why do people think it's okay to make fun of america to americans? and then goes on to say and yet they're wearing american brands and listening to american music and watching american tv and movies!! bro. people aren't consuming material and cultural american exports because they're the best and they want to. they're consuming them because the us is a global hegemon.

#like is it annoying when white europeans collapse the entirety of the us into burger? sure #but girl don't forget the global power structure. girl the imperialism. girl the us is not actually the center of the world stand up

Thinking aloud here, but that one post going around taking the piss out of fandom critique of children's media for being about the power of friendship instead of Marxism: it's not lost on me that the op is a popular mangahood blogger lmao

#babe is it terminally online to critique an anime about genocide and imperialism for being a juvenile ''power of friendship'' take #on resolving genocide and imperialism?#surely these idiots get that it's super cringe to want anti-imperialism in their funny cartoons about imperialism 🤪#thing is: the association of that blogger w/fma doesn't necessarily mean that post implicates critique towards mangahood per say #but i find it pretty funny all the same #(this isn't a vent post but more a bemused way of pointing out how fandom brain erases imperialism in media #while also completely centering political discourse on entertainment media instead of news media state media & material reality)#but i digress #vent

I wonder if some usamerican supposed-progressives realize that when they point out the problems of [other country] and only trace back those problems specifically to "american influence/american imperialism" when there's definitely more complicated reasons as to why those problems exist beyond usamerica (yes, even america's political enemies could be part of that reason actually) that they they're just going back to political us-centrism with a progressive coat of paint

#mayaposts #ofc the answer is no bc how could they be us-centric when they're spewing hatred for theur government right?#seeing ppl claim that all of the problems related to xyz country is primarily bc of the us when the country is either a) a colony of anothe #empire that probably had a bigger hand on that problem or b) had literal chinese or russian interference that's publicly known by citizens #like it baffles me and it almost feels like they dont want us to discuss our issues w other neo/colonizers unless we make a point of #making sure their hatred for their own imperial government is centered on those discussions #god forbid if you also point out that these issues would exist even without foreign influence too btw bc how dare you say that abt your #country's ancestors they're all pure noble sava- i mean pure from euroamerican corruption!!!#just looking at some posts and some of them are political and some of them are abt other countries and oooh boy the amount of usamericans #who without fail keep ending up somehow centering usamerican politics in the conversation even if they hate their country #is a LOT to say the least

Once again suffering from the urge to write a comparative essay discussing the usage of American imperialism as narrative and societal inspiration between the Masquerade book series and the Helldivers video game series, and I'm not kidding

#personal #is Helldivers as deep as the Masquerade? no #but it does undeniably use American imperialism as inspiration (specifically to make fun of it)#while the Masquerade specifically centers the impact it has on exploited peoples #but it would be interesting

ocd getting worse and worse and i'm trying very hard to find the balance between "staying informed and somewhat active regarding world events" and "spiralling because i feel so guilty for not being utterly miserable while people suffer"

#like idk why am i going to disney with my parents+brother for christmas instead of singlehandedly ending all violence on earth #and i'm sharing resources and donating to causes etc etc #and i'm just trying rlly hard to remind myself that my personal feelings have no moral value or material impact #like me feeling guilty for being arguably middle class in the imperial core wont make those things not true yk #and then like talking about my own feelings and centering myself while this is all going on ....#anyway i'm just!! idk venting? idk idk #my ocd has been getting worse steadily for like a year now and it's vv much hitting a wall lmfao #rye.txt

People are much bigger than their sphere of activity

A person with a good heart. The simple father's wish which can't be done so easy💔

This is Yulia Seniuk, whom I mentioned in the first post with the same title:

- I'm about to start crying, to be honest.

- I'm sorry, Yulia, but it seems to me...

- The situation there is such that I was touched by the fact that the guy. He has no legs and no arms, he has a little girl, a daughter. And he wants to take her on his feet, not in a stroller, on 1 September. I want to help him. And I understand that he doesn't have prostheses yet and most likely he won't because prostheses require a very long rehabilitation. That is, he will most likely not make it by 1 September. I was very touched by this situation, even to the point of tears.

- Could you please bring some water?

- And napkins, if possible, please.

- And napkins, please.

- It's very painful. Thank you. I'm a very sentimental person in general.

- I'm sorry for these tears and for making you cry, but I think we have to talk about this. We have to talk because they cannot be left behind.

ANOTHER TPB IN THE BAG -- MORE VITAL PRE-DISNEY STAR WARS COMICS FOR THE COLLECTION.

PIC(S) INFO: Resolution at 1024x1569 -- Spotlight on "STAR WARS: Honor and Duty," the last volume in the "Star Wars: Republic" series of comics published in a trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics. "Honor and Duty" collects "STAR WARS: Republic" issues #46-48 and #78. Artwork by Steve Firchow.

OVERVIEW: "Watch the fall of the Republic through the eyes of Sagoro Autem -- Senate Guard, mercenary, prisoner, Clone Wars hero and Imperial target - in a story that spans from before the Clone Wars to the first mission of Darth Vader! Young Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker, his even younger Padawan, protect a senator from a small system as assassination attempts threaten to silence his crucial swing vote. Joining the Jedi in their mission is Autem, loyal Senate Guard. Yet, as Obi-Wan and Anakin fend off a league of master assassins, Autem discovers a link between the killers that will change his own life forever -- a secret he will not be able to face until the Clone Wars have come and gone, and he finds himself on the run from the new Emperor's enforcer, Darth Vader!"
