It’s not hard to connect the dots between the anti-vaccine extremists, including Premier Danielle Smith, who now dominate Alberta’s United Conservative Party and the admission by a beleaguered Alberta Health Services that it is shutting down its long-COVID clinics in Calgary, Edmonton and Sherwood Park. AHS, once a model of how to run a modern integrated provincial public health-care agency, is in the early stages of being broken up by Smith’s government, which is bent on relitigating the 2020-to-the-present COVID-19 pandemic from a MAGA perspective that denies the reality of the disease, believes life-saving vaccines kill children and views public health measures as a totalitarian control mechanism. However the desire to shutter the seven long-COVID clinics was communicated to the cowed current leaders of AHS, it is safe to assume this reckless decision did not originate with health-care professionals at a time when medical researchers are still trying to unravel the mysteries of long COVID.

NINE HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS COMPARE ZIONIST POLICIES TO THOSE OF THE NAZIS

“Sometime after [1956] I heard a news item about Israelis herding Palestinians into settlement camps. I just could not believe this. Weren’t the Israelis also Jews? Hadn’t we – they – just survived the greatest pogrom of our history? Weren’t [concentration] camps – often euphemistically called ‘settlement camps’ by the Nazis – the main feature of this pogrom? How could Jews in any measure do unto others what had been done to them? How could these Israeli Jews oppress and imprison other people? In my romantic imagination, the Jews in Israel were socialists and people who knew right from wrong. This was clearly incorrect. I felt let down, as if I was being robbed of a part of what I had thought was my heritage. …

I have to say to the Israeli government, which claims to speak in the name of all Jews, that it is not speaking in my name. I will not remain silent in the face of the attempted annihilation of the Palestinians; the sale of arms to repressive regimes around the world; the attempt to stifle criticism of Israel in the media worldwide; or the twisting of the knife labelled ‘guilt’ in order to gain economic concessions from Western countries. Of course, Israel’s geo-political position has a greater bearing on this, at the moment. I will not allow the confounding of the terms ‘anti-Semitic’ and ‘anti-Zionist’ to go unchallenged.”

“Israel, in order to survive, has to renounce the wish for domination and then it will be a much better place for Jews also. The immediate analogy which a lot of people are making in Israel is Germany. Not only the Germany of Hitler and the Nazis but even the former German Empire wanted to dominate Europe. What happened in Japan after the attack on China is that they wanted to dominate a huge area of Asia. When Germany and Japan renounced the wish for domination, they became much nicer societies for the Japanese and Germans themselves. In addition to all the Arab considerations, I would like to see Israel, by renouncing the desire for domination, including domination of the Palestinians, become a much nicer place for Israelis to live.”

“I am pained by the parallels I observe between my experiences in Germany prior to 1939 and those suffered by Palestinians today. I cannot help but hear echoes of the Nazi mythos of ‘blood and soil’ in the rhetoric of settler fundamentalism which claims a sacred right to all the lands of biblical Judea and Samaria. The various forms of collective punishment visited upon the Palestinian people – coerced ghettoization behind a ‘security wall’; the bulldozing of homes and destruction of fields; the bombing of schools, mosques, and government buildings; an economic blockade that deprives people of the water, food, medicine, education and the basic necessities for dignified survival – force me to recall the deprivations and humiliations that I experienced in my youth. This century-long process of oppression means unimaginable suffering for Palestinians.” 

Dr. Hajo Meyer, ‘An Ethical Tradition Betrayed’, Huffington Post, 27/1/10. Hajo Meyer was a survivor of Auschwitz.

“As a Jewish youngster growing up in Budapest, an infant survivor of the Nazi genocide, I was for years haunted by a question resounding in my brain with such force that sometimes my head would spin: ‘How was it possible? How could the world have let such horrors happen?’

 It was a naïve question, that of a child. I know better now: such is reality. Whether in Vietnam or Rwanda or Syria, humanity stands by either complicitly or unconsciously or helplessly, as it always does. In Gaza today we find ways of justifying the bombing of hospitals, the annihilation of families at dinner, the killing of pre-adolescents playing soccer on a beach. …

There is no understanding Gaza out of context – Hamas rockets or unjustifiable terrorist attacks on civilians – and that context is the longest ongoing ethnic cleansing operation in the recent and present centuries, the ongoing attempt to destroy Palestinian nationhood.

The Palestinians use tunnels? So did my heroes, the poorly armed fighters of the Warsaw Ghetto. Unlike Israel, Palestinians lack Apache helicopters, guided drones, jet fighters with bombs, laser-guided artillery. Out of impotent defiance, they fire inept rockets, causing terror for innocent Israelis but rarely physical harm. With such a gross imbalance of power, there is no equivalence of culpability. …

And what shall we do, we ordinary people? I pray we can listen to our hearts. My heart tells me that ‘never again’ is not a tribal slogan, that the murder of my grandparents in Auschwitz does not justify the ongoing dispossession of Palestinians, that justice, truth, peace are not tribal prerogatives. That Israel’s ‘right to defend itself,’ unarguable in principle, does not validate mass killing.

HMMM what about 13 but instead of just Syb, what about all your FC5 OCs, please? - fourlittleseedlings

13. What are their views on sex?

adsf;lakjdfs ok gonna divide my answers by cult kiddos and non-cult kiddos because i have so many fc5 ocs (most of whom i don't talk about oops) all under the cut bc sex talk but also i have a lot of ocs so this is gonna be long lmao thank you this was a super interesting one!

CULT KIDDOS

jonah seed:

staunchly anti sex before marriage and anti-masturbation to the point where he gets kind of homoerotic about god. strongly believes in and follows the project's rule of celibacy and looks down on most people who have been marked with the sin of lust (ie, everyone except joseph). lowkey thinks john is going to hell regardless of the cleansing :/ has a lot of sexual energy and anger that's been pent up for all his life and tbh is probably very close to bursting by the time the deputy kills him.

augustine la roux:

ah. heh. well he has some catholic anxiety about it. i think he falls somewhere on the ace spectrum so there's the general inexperience and also the guilt of wanting someone like that and the fear that they won't return the feeling. then there's also the idea he has that lusting after someone and that lust isn't reciprocated then it's a sin, but also somehow asking if those feelings are reciprocated is him being greedy. all of these feelings just intensify when he falls in love with the Father :'(

benjamin shaw:

has no real strong opinions about sex. it's nice sometimes but it's not something he prioritizes in his life. he has no particular preference towards the gender of his partner and he and pratt start fucking on the down low not long after the reaping kicks off.

lizzie sinclaire:

(who for context, is seventeen at the time of the reaping and was younger when joseph started manipulating her) also believes that sex outside of marriage is a sin and is unlearning her belief that her attraction to other girls is a sin. but also she's young and doesn't have any relationship experience to have any views on sex beyond that.

valerie king:

valerie ended up joining the cult during the pre-montana days because joseph preached more love than she heard at home so she ran off when joseph was forced from her town. she's horribly repressed and awkward about sex. she flushes during the sermons preaching chastity and gets absolutely flustered by the young woman she's been tasked by the father to protect. her faith.

NON-CULT KIDDOS

sybille la roux:

she's pro-sex and has had her fair share of it with a handful of partners of multiple genders. she's pretty open minded and is willing to try most things if it's something her partner wants to try. she found BDSM interesting but it wasn't something she'd really experimented with because of her trust issues. she never really thought she'd be comfortable on either end of a dom/sub dynamic but was proven wrong after accidentally stumbling into one with jacob. but she is a little ashamed of it. she never considered herself the kind of person to submit herself to someone like him (dominant. male. a little too much like her father if she starts thinking about it), and it's embarrassing for her that she's he gets her to act like that.

robin sherwood:

has a perfectly healthy relationship and perception of sex. is of the no-shame mindset and thinks it's fun! she prefers to have it with people she's formed some sort of romantic connection with but doesn't judge if other people don't feel the same as her. adventurous but not necessarily kinky.

joshua smith:

sees sex primarily as a means of stress relief. he doesn't do emotional attachment and is perfectly content with the fact that his sexual history is a long string of one-night stands.

kip nicholson:

i mean. he's an old gay rancher in rural montana. he's seen a few crazy nights in missoula and is confident enough in his own experience to firmly believe that he could probably fix john (and john is frustrated because he can't figure out which sin he wants to mark kip with). he's besties with addie and while he's not quite as Like That as she is, but he can keep up with her for sure. (occasionally flirts with xander but doesn't mean anything by it, he and addie just think its funny).

Remember when sh twitter tagged Dom instead of Harry with Matt in that magnus's flashback scene and Matt and harry roasted them they had to delete the tweet? That was jalecs villian origin story

unfortunately i wasnt there to live this glorious moment but ive heard the tales of this fateful day and embraced this victory as my own. i love winning

[noncanonfan]

White people can just get anyway with anything, huh?

[bi-leigh-bi]

me?

not... hating... parabatai content???

shadowhunters has really done that, huh? the power of a good queer love story I guess. damn.

[thirtyonestories]

Okay so I’ll freely admit I haven’t watched the series finale of Shadowhunters yet but from what I’m reading it was a hot ass mess especially in regards to Clary and honestly... thank god the shit is over. I’ve been saying for weeks I’m glad it’s cancelled but god damn did it really just go full the fuck off the rails from season twos premiere onward. From making Izzy a drug addict, to retconning her (and technically her mother) into white girls, to the treatment of Maia and all three of her relationships (I’ll pop bottles that Jordan’s ass died though), to how they portrayed Victor and only brought his ass back to further demonize a black guy, to every thing with Luke going to prison because of a psycho white girl whose ENTIRE arc more than likely only existed because the actresses is dating Alberto (let’s not forget Sarah Hyland was partially cast cause she was dating Domophobe), to just so much fucking terribleness. That’s not even getting into the behind the scenes bullshit of David the Trump Supporter, Dominic the Homophobe, Luke Baines annoying ass, and other various problematic behavior from cast mates.

Like, I’m just glad it’s over before it somehow got even worse that it already was. I appreciate the actors/actresses (well, besides those listed above and Emeraude) for all their hard work and hope they do well but this show truly just let all it’s fans down in the end. Now, if I really understand the fuckery that happened at the end I feel most sorry for Kat/Clary. Her character literally had her entire life screwed over and the finale didn’t even focus on her, the main character... what kind of shit is that? Anyways, goodbye shadowhunters it’s been... well, it’s been.

[mwagneto]

How the sh cast mostly refers to their fans in videos

Kat: angels 💞

Harry: y'all

Matt: you guys

Dom: i haven't seen anything with his face in it for months so idk, but probably f*gs or something

[goldenalec]

I just... I used to read jimon all the time before domophobe ruined it for me and it honestly makes me so sad bc every time I stumble upon a rly good fic that has super healthy, super cute jimon I can’t read it the same without imagining his ugly face and I just get super angry and sad :(((((((

[theravennest]

Listen...I literally could not give two shits about Dom or Matt’s feelings tbh. 

I just hope Jade Hassouné, Javier Muñoz, Amanda Row, Michael Reisz, Zac Hug and any other LGBTQ+ cast and crew are having a good day and I hope they never had to be exposed to any casually dropped homophobic slurs while working on set.

[sprnklersplashes]

I always try not to let my opinion of the actor colour my opinion of the character but it is really hard for me to like Jace because of Dominic Sherwood. Possibly because I was never overly invested in Jace’s character to begin with and have issues with how him.

[deamaia]

i just saw someone on twitter say cc's apology is as sincere as dom's

[kinnsporsche]

this is the kind of behaviour that dom endorsed and normalized with his comment, this is the kind of behaviour that he hasn’t publicly condoned on twitter or facebook or instagram or any social media sites. and by not condoning this, he’s as good as endorsing it. 

it’s been a month, i would have expected a tweet or something about how people have a right to be upset over his actions and that they shouldn’t be attacking people because they are upset. do not call yourself an ally if you think we’re being unreasonable.

[normal-thoughts-official]

Noooo, Not me seeing a Jalec stan on Twitter saying that D*m could act Magnus better than Harry🥴

I can't deal with this shit😂😭

they are so delusional it's fascinating. what is going on with their minds

[noncanonfan]

Everyone is problematic.  I️ don’t want to find out anything about anyone ever again
