#do you fucking hear yourselves

[wingsofhcpe]

Every few years the tumblr queer community decides that we clearly don't have enough problems as is with real bigots, and they pick a sub-category of other queer people to convince us that "actually these are the True Oppressors, Guys, I Promise, they're too loud and privileged and stealing our rights as we speak!" while also mostly using recycled terf rhetoric but Woke This Time to support these accusations. At some point it was bi people (especially bi sapphics), then ace and aro people. Now it seems it's the turn of trans men & transmasc people in general.

And of course, if you as a member of the targeted demographic try to speak up, you're labelled as proof of the accusations. "See? They're loud and annoying and are oppressing us by not letting us target them, instead of shutting up and taking it like good little victims!".

And I, for one, I'm not having it.

Zionism brainworms are making me understand why my friend started avoiding social media like the plague

this is dumb as hell. not just because any ruling group sacrificing the lives of its citizens by storing weapons of war in the spaces they live and work or by raising child soldiers (these are the human tights violations which, in reality, go entirely ignored) is morally bankrupt including by the standards of the societies these rulers govern, but because a war strategy of throwing people away and just making more of them (this mechanic by the way, we recognize as fascism when practiced by evangelical extremists in the west) is shit strategy that's racked up loss after loss. moral relativism and the bigotry of low expectations don't make wins. we've seen the cannon fodder approach to modern war work exactly once, and that was soviet russia fighting the nazis by throwing away tens of millions of lives – that's a lot of bodies and nobody can match that, but marxists and their affiliates keep pretending that is how wars and revolutions must be fought. there is no regard for making life, keeping people alive, just perpetual war, to extermination. the only way to keep a war going is to lose all the fucking time.

throw away these con artists' books.

“Armed with their billions, NGOs have waded into the world, turning potential revolutionaries into salaried activists, funding artists, intellectuals and filmmakers, gently luring them away from radical confrontation, ushering them in the direction of multi-culturalism, gender, community development—the discourse couched in the language of identity politics and human rights. The transformation of the idea of justice into the industry of human rights has been a conceptual coup in which NGOs and foundations have played a crucial part. The narrow focus of human rights enables an atrocity-based analysis in which the larger picture can be blocked out and both parties in a conflict—say, for example, the Maoists and the Indian government, or the Israeli Army and Hamas—can both be admonished as “human rights violators”. The land-grab by mining corporations in India or the history of the annexation of Palestinian land by the State of Israel then become footnotes with very little bearing on the discourse. This is not to suggest that human rights don’t matter. They do, but they are not a good enough prism through which to view or remotely understand the great injustices in the world we live in.”

like idk maybe this is just me but i'd genuinely rather throw my loose change into something that could possibly be but is very unlikely to be a scam and just be like "oh well" if it does actually turn out to be a scam than try to denounce every single palaestinian that just wants to live in safety. tripling down on that behaviour is just fucking embarrassing. "it's not racist to be skeptical of donations asks" that's true but saying that a group of brown people are all hustlers running a mass scam ring is undoubtedly extremely racist you fucking clowns.

today is holocaust remembrance day. without ifs or buts and without condition.

today we remember all the Jewish people, the Rromani people, the physically and mentally disabled, political prisoners, queer people, journalists and activists, intellectuals and writers and artists, and all the common people, every single person that lost their lives or loved ones or a part of themselves to Nazifascism.

Hey remember when "I am a Nazi" "I love Hitler" Kanye West posted the Literal Exact Same Image on Twitter and got directly banned by Elon Musk for being a Nazi because even Elon Musk couldn't pretend this isn't Nazism. Remember that. Good times.

I’m just sad tonight. One of my friends thanked me for educating her about antisemitism and then stopped talking to me completely in December.

My former roommate nannied for Jewish families and worked at a Jewish school despite being a goy. I lived with her for 6 years and invited her to Hanukkah and other holidays. I said I had a question for her about Palestine (that’s it. That’s all). She told me she’d reach out to me when she had the headspace for it. She hasn’t reached out to me but she has posted several times about Palestine.

So many people who said they’d always be there for me suddenly disappeared when I actually told them I needed them and idk that it will ever stop hurting tbh.

so much sympathy is allowed for settlers and western tourists to do naive, thoughtless, arrogant, dangerous things not see these actions as such and mourn it as a shocking tragedy when something happens but personally even if i had been born in israel i would have the self awareness to not go to a party right outside of the largest open air prison in the world

Saw someone refer to Gaza as "one of the most brutal ethnic cleansings in history" and I'm just completely stunned and baffled by the pathological need to characterize it as The Worst Thing That Has Ever Happened, as if it couldn't possibly matter unless it was indeed The Worst, as if their suffering is not good enough to be upset about unless it is The Worst.

It's also profoundly disconcerting how many people have Absolutely Zero historical knowledge or awareness on this front. Occasionally I feel guilty for deciding teaching isn't for me because I know it's needed, but the sheer scale of the need is fucking daunting.

Yeah no sorry if you’re putting blame third party voter posts on my dash you’re getting yeeted. Even more so the ones encouraging third party voters to kill themselves. I put my big boy panties on and voted democrat despite Palestinians calling for third party votes. Even in my continuously red without a doubt every election state, I couldn’t make myself vote third party.

Guilt tripping the people on our own fucking side and starting infighting with a group of people for, even if they had voted Harris, wouldn’t have flipped anything, is fucking deplorable. Get a fucking grip. The fascists are your enemies, not the Arab and Muslim peoples who didn’t vote for the party actively killing their people, and not the people who listened to them and joined them. What the fuck.

Genuinely eat shit if you’re telling other minority voters, many of whom are probably fucking teenagers and first time voters, to off themselves because they voted green in a hope for Palestinian people.
