europeans be like “omg north americans are so racist it’s horrible” and then elect fascists

I really can't get into the minds of EU citizens who identify as anything resembling leftists or progressives or people who care about human rights and then treat US Americans with embarassing smugness or paternalism regarding our border policies. Really? In 2025? Do we even live in the same reality.

Yeah, Schengen is great. Freedom of movement within the EU is great. Not everyone has it, though. And it's impossible to consume any type of news without refugees and the European borders being a topic. Okay. I get it if someone doesn't really know about the history of the EU as a project to secure their colonialist relationship with Africa. But the current border situation is impossible to ignore.

Best I can think of is that these people are embarrassingly ignorant about the EU's border policy and the abuse, torture and killing of refugees that is happening while they maintain this stupid superiority complex towards US Americans.

Most likely explanation is that they have not internalized the notion that the life of an Arab refugee has the same value as theirs. And in the end, that's the core of white supremacy, isn't it? It's not all Heil Hitler salutes, it's also the belief that the dignity and suffering of other groups of people count less than one's own.

And don't get me wrong: I am not proposing a dissolution of the EU. Every realistic outcome of that will only be worse. I guess what I am saying instead is that EU patriots have got to be the most cringe and embarrassing type of nationalists in Europe.

Pro-Palestine protests in front of the Australian Parliament demanding an end to the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

In case anyone's wondering how the election campaign in Germany is going: Our far right party, called AfD, put tickets like the one in the picture in the mailboxes of people living in Germany with a migration background. They're designed as one way airplane tickets "back to where they came from". These bloody fascists are currently predicted to get 19% of all votes, which would make them second place.

(In case you're wondering: The currently predicted first place is CDU/CSU, who despite claiming to be "the middle" are not much better than AfD. If you need an example, approximately 0.2 seconds after the revolution in Syria one of their leading members suggested to send back all Syrian immigrants "now that it's safe".)

France just added "the guaranteed freedom for women to have an abortion" to its national constitution ✊️

[it was already a law but writing it into the constitution makes it harder to repeal] [and i know that the text isn't perfect because it mentions "women" and it's mostly symbolic, but hey, we take the victories we can, it's better to have something we can improve later on than nothing at all. if you wait for political purity, you'll never move forward.]

MELBOURNE REPORTBACK

[alaiis]

LOOOOOOOL

Girl help me the whole country just got spit on by the fucking king in his golden palace

[spinnysocks]

i've had this idea for a while, to randomise two or more of the outlanders, put them into a platonic/found family prompt generator and see what comes out! sooo here we goooo :3

Outlanders interactions!! (based on a prompt generator)

Mzingo trying to teach Tunu some life skills, but all that ends up happening is the Outlands nearly being set on fire and Mzingo almost breaking a wing. Still, at least Tunu is so innocently unaware of the danger that he has fun hanging out with the vulture anyway :)

It's Kijana's birthday party! Mwoga checks in on the jackals to see what all the fuss is about so he can tell Mzingo the news of the Outlands for the day. Kijana tells him he's invited to the party. Mwoga asks “Isn't this just for your family?” and Kijana replies “You are family!” and invites the rest of the Outlanders so she can have the awesomest party :D

Njano drags Kenge along on his mission to find a supposedly very spicy herb that's a challenge to eat. When they find the plant, Njano dares Kenge to eat it too, and Kenge doesn't back down from a challenge (in the actual generator it said kenge and njano do the tipe pod challenge wtf help??)

Nne has an idea for how to get out of a bad situation. Sumu says it's the stupidest one he's ever heard, but they're going with it. (couldn't really think of what the idea or situation is for this one, but i'm gonna assume it involves violence lmao)

Nne and Tano are tasked with watching the jackal pups. They don't know how, they just are. They escort the pups on a walk, completely lost with the whole Taking Care Of Kids thing, when a rockslide traps Tano and Kijana. While they're stuck waiting for help, Tano learns how to be a nicer hyena and Kijana learns that maybe hyenas aren't so bad :3

The Wet Season is almost over, so Janja spends extra time hanging out with Kiburi before the crocs go into hibernation for the Dry Season :)

Kenge and Mwoga aren't friends yet, being very different with the monitor lizard going solo and the vulture part of a parliament. Encouraged by Jasiri to share experiences with other Outlanders, they talk about their very different lives and how going solo or being aligned with others helped them. (damn this wheel spin generator really favours these two, nne and kijana lol)

Sometimes, Goigoi likes to sing something randomly to pass the time. Janja appreciates his enthusiasm for the musical arts :3

Janja's Clan knows the ins and outs of the volcano's geysers and steam vents better than any animal. It's Cheezi's job to escort Jasiri through them today so she can get to the other side of the Outlands. You can imagine how that goes :]

if i do any more i will never stop lmaoo, maybe i'll turn this into a mini series if anyone likes it :] tho i am really disappointed that i could only find ONE platonic prompt generator like bffr, but whatever

bonus (human au) one i got for Nduli and Janja bcuz 😭😭

Michael Sheen, as Nye, arguing for a social safety net and against austerity

This is the second clip I recorded because these are the exact same issues which we are still facing.

A scene that takes place in Parliament. Aneurin “Nye” Bevan, played by Michael Sheen, is speaking against austerity and advocating that the government should help people and not just large businesses. He asks all those present if they’ve ever been means tested- ever had to go through the indignities that struggling people have to to prove they need help, in order to get meager assistance, if any.
