#death to tyrants

[lindentea]

so i had this idea

Solas: “I have joined my share of causes. But when I offered lessons learned in the Fade, I was derided by my enemies… and sometimes by my allies. Liar. Fool. Madman. There are endless ways to say someone isn’t worth listening to. Over time, it grinds away at you.”  

Solas the revolutionary. Solas the freedom fighter. Solas the rebel war general. Solas, the Dread Wolf.

Revolutionaries are agents of transformation - painful, disruptive transformation. Solas led this upheaval for centuries, driving the change that reshaped the ancient world.

I want to know him - not as the figure judged through the veiled world’s narrow lens, but as the man who existed before his most controversial act.

I want to understand the Solas driven by a vision of justice, freedom, and resistance against the oppressive rule of the Evanuris. The Solas who sought to dismantle the entire system. How did he decide when to fall back, when to push forward? Who to ally with, who to trust? What victories came at what cost? What bonds were forged, and what betrayals endured?

I want to know the Solas who could no longer endure the rejection of those he was implored to serve - the ones who sought his guidance yet turned away when his truths became inconvenient. To see his hard-won insights, born of wisdom and experience, dismissed as deceit or madness simply because they threatened the foundations of their power.

I want to understand how he came to accept that he was once a part of the very system he sought to destroy - that his place within it gave him the unique insight to recognize its corruption and the resolve to tear it down.

I want to know the moment Solas realized even Mythal was part of that system - and that he could no longer walk the same path as her.

I want to know this Solas - the rebel who faced not only the overwhelming power of the Evanuris but also the resistance and skepticism of those he sought to free. “Liar. Fool. Madman.” Words hurled at him by enemies and allies alike. Some unwilling to believe in his cause, some unwilling to fight, others too afraid to break from the status quo.

I want to know more about the moment Solas first made the decision to sacrifice others for the greater goal - how he grappled with that choice and bore the weight of those lives lost for the sake of freedom.

I want to know about the day he accepted the mantle of the Dread Wolf, letting others shape him into a symbol of fear and rebellion. How it changed the perceptions of those who knew him, those who had followed him, and those who whispered his name in hatred or hope.

And I want to know about the first elf who had their vallaslin removed by Fen’Harel. The moment Solas spoke the words, “Ar lasa mala revas,” and what it meant to give freedom back to one soul after centuries of chains.

So she is sitting on a yacht that costs more money than 99% of us will make in a lifetime, drinking alcohol more expensive than your car per bottle, using more fossil fuels than an entire tank Battalion during the Iraq war, celebrating a court decision while mocking LGBTQ people after openly calling ace people “not queer” and after ignoring mass rape and kidnapping of women in the US by the trump regime …

The Tankies are right we need to just shoot anyone who makes more than 80k a year they are the oppressor class and aren’t even hiding it anymore

What is Taghūt ? Allah mentions the word Tāghūt in the Qur’an on several occasions. He instructs us to shun and reject the Taghūt and to not seeking judgement towards it.

Allah mentions the term on a number of occasions:

وَلَقَدْ بَعَثْنَا فِي كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ رَّسُولًا أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاجْتَنِبُوا الطَّاغُوتَ

And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allah and avoid Taghut."

[Surah al-Nahl : 36]

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَن يَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَن يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَيُرِيدُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَن يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلَالًا بَعِيدًا

Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement (in their disputes) to the Taghut (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject them. But Shaitan (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray.

[Surah al-Nisa : 60]

فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا

Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break.

[Surah al-Baqarah : 256]

أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيبًا مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْجِبْتِ وَالطَّاغُوتِ وَيَقُولُونَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَهْدَىٰ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا سَبِيلًا

Have you not seen those who were given a portion of the Scripture? They believe in Jibt and Taghut and say to the disbelievers that they are better guided as regards the way than the believers (Muslims).

[Surah al-Nisa : 51]

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

الطاغوت: كل ما تجاوز به العبد حده من معبود أو متبوع أو مطاع ، فطاغوت كل قوم من بتحاكمون إليه غير الله ورسوله أو يعبدونه من دون الله أو يتبعونه على غير بصيرة من الله أو يطيعونه فيما لا يعلمون أنه طاعة لله

“The ṭāghūt is all that which causes the person to exceed the limits with regards to that which is worshipped, followed, or obeyed. So the ṭāghūt in any nation is whosoever turns to other than Allah and His Messenger for matters of judgement; or is pleased to be worshipped besides Allah; or is followed without a clear proof from Allah; or is obeyed in that which is known to be disobedience to Allah.”

— [I‘lām al-Muwaqqi‘īn 1/53]

A Taghūt can be in various forms as explained by Shaykh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab رحمه الله:

والطواغيت كثير ورؤوسهم خمسة: إبليس لعنه الله، ومن عبد وهو راض، ومن دعا الناس إلي عبادة نفسه، ومن ادعى شيئاً من علم الغيب ومن حكم بغير ما أنزل الله

“And the Tawāghīt are many, but their leaders are five:

Iblīs (may Allah curse him),

Whoever is worshipped and is pleased with that,

Whoever calls people to the worship of himself,

Whoever claims to possess anything of the knowledge of the unseen,

And whoever judges by other than what Allah has sent down.”

— [Ath-Thalathatul-Usūl]

Thus, anyone who is worshiped besides Allah, and pleased with that, is a Taghūt. Likewise, the person who claims to possess knowledge of the unseen, as well as the scholar who is (pleased to be) blindly followed in other than that which is the guidance of the Messenger (ﷺ), and the rulers who govern and judge with other than that which Allah has revealed or replace the shari'a of Allah with their desires and man made laws or abrogate the laws of Allah and implement their own laws are all Tawaghīt, according to the Divine Sharī’ah. Therefore, in order to be considered a true believer in Allah and the Last Day the Muslim must disbelieve in and reject at-Taghūt, irrespective of the form it assumes. And this act must precede his declaration of faith, for indeed the first pillar of Tawhīd is an-Nafy (i.e. negation). For instance, the statement (لا إله إلا الله), which represents Tawhīdul-Ulūhiyyah, consists of two parts:

1. “لا إله”

(There is none worthy of worship), which is an-Nafy, negates the existence of anything worthy of worship.

2. “إلا الله” (Except Allãh),

which is al-Ithbãt (affirmation), affirms that all worship is due to Allah alone.

Hence, the first obligation binding upon the slaves is disbelief in all that is worshiped besides the Most High.

Daily reminder that, no, you as an individual are NOT powerless to help stop a genocide happening halfway across the globe, because you have the power to Influence your own government, and that's how Geopolitics work.

Protest in the streets, people, it came free with your humanity.

This is your reminder that you have a week to get ready for the Ides of March party here on Tumblr!!

[thishumblehobbyist]

The world is in the shitter, we are staring down a civil war and fascist regime and it ain’t looking good for the trans and gay community right now.

But I will say it’s not all bad and there is hope as long as one person still breaths and is holding a gun. And going by what I’ve seen from the old united front types there are plenty willing to lug a rifle and do their part for the freedom and liberty.

Stay safe and be ready to act accordingly when things get worse.

Dearest congregation,

We write to you this night so that you may be remade. Weakness and cowardice are not native to the human or machine. You may be made better in the heat of the everburning crucible. FAITHFUL DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS BLASPHEMY! You will be made perfect, strong, beautiful. This is the promise of the crucible. Become as iron. No man may strike you, not blade may pierce you, no breeze will chill you. You shall be perfect.

...there is no future or past. the conjunction is at hand...

Nothing bonds this one specific webbed site together like mocking a dead tyrant from 2000 years ago.
