#decolonize love

what i’m listening to tonight 💞

[bleakbluejay]

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.

grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.

[sentientsky]

i love you boundaries i love you consent i love you open and honest communication i love you respecting the autonomy and personhood of others

[wisp-of-thought]

Instead I say: Falasteen

Because I hope

That when the colonizer comes for me

Somebody says my name right in the eulogy

Like my mother intended

With all the history of my homeland

I hope in one final act of rebellion

I refuse to fit comfortable in their mouths

I hope these consonants cut their tongues

I hope they choke on these guttural vowels

[moonhedgegarden]

feel good

You have to admire this man's dedication to the snacking agenda even when the producers of his gm talk show fully attempt to murder him on camera

I know I've made a lot of activism posts and I enjoy doing them. I also enjoy utilizing social media by sharing my life in vague but relatable ways for others to know they're not alone.

If you'd like for me to try this style of art, please let me know. I'd love to have some feedback. I have had a lot of life experiences that I feel are best to share as I'm getting to a point of acceptance in my life.

"The video represents a microcosm of the Resistance in Gaza today and previous days. What is interesting about the latest video, however, is that each clip starts with a door opening followed by a fighter pointing a tandem or a Yassin-105 shell towards an Israeli military vehicle from a very short distance.

The message that the Resistance tried to convey is that the next shell or bullet could arrive from anywhere and at any time, though always with the same assured outcome: a massive explosion."

"I think that we should all give an applause right now to Hamas for a job well done. When they (Israelis) woke up in the morning and they found the field hands in the house, with a knife, ready to cut their fucking throats! I was late to the news, but when I heard it, I smiled. I don't want to hear that bullshit 250, 250 innocent Israelis today. Fuck them! Again, I swear. I salute Hamas. A job well done."

"They want to paint it here in America that what happened yesterday was terrorism. What happened yesterday was freedom fighters fighting for freedom. And I want to make one point: every person that died yesterday was not innocent. It's our job, it's our job here in the West to wake people up. It's our job to show people who are the real terrorists. It's our job to show what's right..."

You think fundamentalist islamic terrorists are leftist, huh?

So, is it still terrorism? You yourself referred to them as "terrorists."

You have an American hate-preacher spouting Intersectional and Critical Race Theory rhetoric (e.g. master's tools, slave allusions, oppressor/oppressed) celebrating both the act and the organization that did it, and looking forward to more.

You have a hijabi shouting, to applause, that no Israeli is innocent. They're all fair game. That terrorism is "what's right." An overt call to support ethnic cleansing.

Is it still terrorism when American progressives are cheering it on?

A persistent gaslighting tactic is the idea that "nO oNe iS sAyInG tHis!!" No, they're not saying it. They're shouting it through bullhorns.

Do not take people for fools and try to lie to them.

Reminder: Hamas is not some fringe group, they're a religious group that is the literal elected government of the Gaza Strip.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas

Hamas officially the Islamic Resistance Movement, is a Sunni Islamist political and military organization currently governing the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories. While it is headquartered in Gaza City, it also has a presence in the West Bank (the larger of the two Palestinian territories), in which Fatah exercises control. It is widely considered to be the "dominant political force" within the Palestinian territories.

In 1987, shortly after the outbreak of the First Intifada against Israel, Hamas was founded by Palestinian imam and activist Ahmed Yassin. It emerged out of his Mujama al-Islamiya, which had been established in Gaza in 1973 as a religious charity involved with the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas became increasingly involved in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the late 1990s; it opposed the Israel–PLO Letters of Mutual Recognition as well as the Oslo Accords, which saw Hamas' secular rival Fatah renounce "the use of terrorism and other acts of violence" and recognize Israel in pursuit of a two-state solution. Hamas continued to advocate Palestinian armed resistance. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election, gaining a majority in the Palestinian Legislative Council, and subsequently took control of Gaza Strip from Fatah in 2007.

Since 2007, Hamas has fought several wars with Israel. It historically sought an Islamic Palestinian state over the combined territory of Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, rejecting the two-state solution. Hamas began to accept negotiations with Israel and the 1967 borders in the agreements it signed with Fatah in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Many scholars reported that Hamas' 2017 charter accepted a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders. Under the ideological principles of Islamism, it promotes Palestinian nationalism in an Islamic context; it has pursued a policy of jihad (armed struggle) against Israel. The Hamas government has pushed through changes that gave greater influence to Islamic law in the Gaza Strip. It has a social service wing, Dawah, and a military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades.

If Hamas is a terrorist organization...

You think fundamentalist islamic terrorists

... then Palestinians chose terrorists as their legitimately elected government representation. Right?

And this is what I said when previously asked: this is Islamic religious holy war, as commanded by Allah. There's no sharing, there's no backing down, there's no co-existing. Islam doesn't allow it, even if Palestinian and Israeli individuals do support it.

Islamists have weaponized western intersectional nonsense - "white adjacent," oppressor/oppressed, shallow takes on "colonialism" - to create a narrative that supports ethnic cleansing, under the benign-sounding academic term, "decolonization." And convinced people who subscribe to this deranged theology to endorse and defend terrorism.

And still people wonder how the Third Reich rose. You're looking at it. Remember, Hitler's manifesto translates as "My Struggle."

Believe them when they tell you what they're up to.

‘Black women are increasingly isolated by society to devastating effects and then punished for talking about it. When Black women online speak of isolation, loneliness and lack of care in romantic relationships, people descend onto our vulnerability like sharks in a frenzy. Men ask what we bring to the table, to demand so much. They blame us for the harms done to us by others, with accusations of “choosing the wrong men,” in a world full of men socialised to devalue us.’
