#armed self-defense

[historyhermann]

A paper I wrote in fall 2015 about Black women's role in armed self-defense from 1955 to 1975. This paper actually got me a job at the Maryland State Archives!

it's very funny to me that tumblr of all places has so much heat for the worst aspects of k tanaka's character beats considering that they started out as nearly a direct parody of the tumblr sjw. and as much as i love evan, i can't help but see the irony as well that brennan created a character who, in universe, is the object of a lot of misplaced adoration, specifically referencing kylo ren who had this website in a chokehold, only for evan to become one of tumblr's sad boys even when k has apparently addressed this and grown past it. there's lots of other things that k has not dealt with that we can talk about, but ALSO maybe it would be a good idea to turn a lens on evan considering that the archetype of someone resisting violent conditioning is something else that popped up in this episode that is extremely fucking pertinent irl right now. i've called it 'magical' nationalism before because the allegory is white supremacy and imperialism, right? if we had gotten the shit with the militia in iowa in mismag 1 it would be even more evident. even if evan himself is struggling with something that displays similarities with psychosis or autism, it's not a one-to-one parallel. there is crucial context being overlooked in favor of woobifying him and that's just... chef's kiss. gods bless.

I need more content of Varian being a farm boy. By that I don't only mean wholesome content of him on his dads farm, no, I also mean that farm kids are a bit stronger usually. Not to mention all the heavy machinery he builds and moves around???

Let Varian be able to scoop Hugo up and throw him over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes. I feel like he would be the physically stronger one out of the two. (Its okay Hugo put all his points in Dexterity instead he's very sneaky lol)

(Reminder to myself to draw Varian dragging Hugo and Yong along with ease whilst following Nuru)

Iran had legal right to counter-attack Israel in self-defense

Israel attacked Iran's embassy in Syria on April 1, in a blatant act of war. Iran had a legal right to respond in self-defense, according to article 51 of the UN Charter, which is exactly what it did by launching missiles and drone strikes on April 13. But Western governments are absurdly portraying Tehran as the aggressor.

You're pro-gun cause carrying a gun makes you feel like a macho tough guy big boy, I'm pro-gun cause I wanna be able to defend myself in case some piece of shit wants to do something to me. We are not the same.

so thoroughly intrigued by stories that posit nonviolence/pacifism as a weapon of fascism and authoritarianism
