Officially the longest rant I've ever posted
Snater mauraders fans literally being the most shallow people on earth.
I will see them saying Snape deserved to be targeted and bullied. And the reason is always the same.
"he was creepy" how was he creepy? "He was obsessed with Lily and possessive of her."
oh, you mean like how James threatened to physically assault Lily if she didn't go on a date with him while simultaneously bullying her friend? While Severus did as Lily asked and left her alone when she said their friendship was over.
"He was racist." No, comparing the word mudblood a fictional slur to a real life racial slur is so ignorant, problematic and also completely disregards that there could be actual racism in the Harry Potter universe. And Snape is not a pureblood in fact he is way more muggle born than half blood as he grew up in a muggle neighborhood, wearing muggle clothes. Is what Snape called Lily right? No. could she have still been hurt? Yes. But I see the same people who bash Snape, Stan Malfoy who is canonically a pureblood who hates muggle-borns. Like be so for fucking for real rn.
"He was a nazi" Again, comparing a fictional "cult" to real life devastating history is ignorant and frankly ridiculous. But let's just humor that idea for a moment. Then why do I see maurader fans idolizing characters like Barry Crouch Jr? Or Regulus Black? Who not only joined the death eaters just like Severus did but were privileged purebloods who unlike Severus had money, a proper home, family. And in Barty Jr's case he is literally canonically evil.
"He was a bully." So was James, so was Sirius.And both James and Sirius are canonically described as being obviously well loved and privileged while Snape "so obviously lacked" that. Severus had reasons to be cold, stand offish and rude. had a terrible home life, neglectful if not straight up abusive parents, a single friend, depressed and was poor. What was James's excuse?
And I will see ppl who loooove Draco Malfoy yet despise Snape. Draco Malfoy, who is repeatedly voiced his pureblood prejudice so much as saying he wished death upon Hermione Granger simply for her blood status, was a HUGE bully, surely bigger than Snape ever was if he did ever bully (he didn't). Severus Snape used a slur once, once when he was a child while he was being SA'd and regretted it so much he never used the word again. While Draco literally never even apologized for his fanatical white supremacist behavior. "Well he didn't want to kill Dumbledore" I'm sorry but being too cowardly to kill someone does not equal being a good person.
"Oh well they changed, they grew up and became better." Did they? Where's the proof? Where's the evidence? I never saw Sirius own up to his actions. Remus still excused his friends bullying. "Well actually Draco actually liked Hermione the whole time. And that's why he was so mean to her" So? If anything that makes even worse. If a guy wished me dead, was openly vile to I wouldn’t suddenly be okay with it because he was actually attracted to me the whole time.
So what arguments do the Snaters have left?
Nothing, absolutely zero justification other than shallow, half baked reasons.
Severus Snape commits the most unforgivable sin. Being poor, morally grey AND ugly.
Because being poor can be forgiven as long as you're hot i.e Remus Lupin. But forbid they actually show signs of their class. Being malnourished, having hand me clothes, not being able to have proper hygiene. These are all things that actually happen to severely lower class individuals. Being a pureblood snob can be forgiven as long as you're hot. Being actually evil with zero justification is forgiven as long as you're hot.
People will twist and headcanon characters we get two pages of information on into fully fleshed out people with intricate backstories and believable justification for all their evil behavior.
Meanwhile bashing Snape who is one the most complex, dark, interesting character in the series. All because Snape is "ugly".
Because god forbid a character does not fit their rigid beauty standards and is actually complex and human.
And we're not gonna get into how literally not once was Snape ever explicitly described as ugly or how Draco Malfoy in the books described as having a pointed, rat like face.
And just to clarity I'm not trying yuck anybody's yum. Love the characters you love, stan evil ones, ship all the characters you want. I do! I ship character who make absolutely no sense in canon. create intricate stories for background characters all you want That's what fandom is all about. But don't act you have an actual reason for hating Snape while simultaneously stanning Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr.
Be straightforward and say you don't like him because he does not fit your rigid cookie cutter beauty standards and you have no compassion.
Cheers,

I already said this but if u make Aisha the tallest in ur fanart i hate u a lil
#i was gonna say tallest and buffest#and that’s true bc I still hate u a lil#just kinda less bc she’s implied to be the sporty one#but also It’s so so easy for y’all to masculinize black women#and It’s weird bc nobody every talks about how her role growing up prevented her from doing much#so even tho she’s super sporty now build wise it should be swimmer/dancer#and again I understand the liberation of women through musculature that’s literally where I’m at rn#but i don’t think y’all get the type of battle it is for black woman#‘but blank’ u say ‘the racial breakdown on magix is not the same as irl’#‘but random person’ I respond ‘racial dynamics exist irl and impact how we view our media and as early as s1 episode 12 Rai dub winx has#shown it’s not exempt from showcasing racial bias - that’s the Afro episode.’#anyways my point is#i get it and it’s not like I hate Black ppl racism#It’s more like that bath and body works accidental kkk racism#Steven universe in general#a lack of black ppl who know their shit in the writers room#and by the writers room I mean you#Ur tablet#Ur drawing of how big buff Aisha towers over dainty lil musa#who’s subversive bc she gets afforded the character trope of gremlin#well she’s still victimized and did nothing wrong in any of her relationships but she has sharp teeth in her wide grin so rlly it evens out#and aisha is. therapist friend.#no wait! she makes a sassy comeback bc Stella’s being vain!!#and then she’s stroking Musa’s hair and telling her ni- Oop men ain’t shit she don’t need no man!#aisha will just fill in :)#ok that last bit is a lot more venting frustration like that’s less to do with fanart and winx and more how racism bleeds through fucking#everything#so main main point is. stop being white?! enough!! also a lot of y’all can be semi normal about flora bc even tho she’s Latina it’s still hc#territory and y’all see her as like. white with an extra oomf. so the stereotypes y’all usually push onto Latinas are impossible to push w/#plus the way she’s written doesn’t have the leeway that the way aisha is. they both get whitewashed just the same tho sad

they banned ap psych in florida cuz the class ap discusses sexuailty and gender which violates ron desantis' piece of shit dont say gay law so fuck you ron for that
in the college board statement they say it was banned because "teaching foundational content on sexual orientation and gender identity is illegal under state law" which is bullshit because these gov leaders believe anything lgbtq is a brain disease so you'd think theyd keep the brain learning class
they banned ap african american studies because "it lacks educational value and historical accuracy" which is making it easier for them to erase black history that is so intertwined with the history of this country that most everything here is so deeply antiblack
this mf has his head so far up his ass that hes ruining our education system even more than it already was
#fuck you ron desantis i hate you so much I hate you i hate you i hate yoy#and cuz me nd my friends are tryna reach our counselors to see whats up or if theyre rearranging schedules and keep mentioning him#i keep getting ron desantis ads ab if i want to elect him president of the united fucking states of America#and then it was an ap class i was interested in taking cuz i thought itd be cool to learn about so fuck you ron for that too#and THEN it was the only class i knew ppl in. ljke half the class was ppl ive seen before or talked too#im ranting ab missing out on the class nd not seeing my friends but its really a bigger issue than that#like its scary hes using his power to attack lgbtq communities and kids and then he has enough support that hes rallying for head seat#its not safe here at all i cannot fucking wait to leave#ron desantis#us politics#ap psychology#college board#lgbtq#so mad im shaking im so sorry if this doesnt make any sense but school starts in a week exactly nd im tryna figure out the little issue#l speaks#keep talking l#ranting in the tags because i can#black history#racism

its a really big bummer to see the mass success of bg3, to see how many artists and players alike have enjoyed this game and yet, somehow, almost every time, wyll is magically not mentioned or drawn, featured in a video, hes not adored or hated
so far the fandom just generally acts like hes not even there. and it makes me sad to see the single black companion get this level of people ignoring him, his arc, his personality, even just people disliking or hating him
instead the only thing that caught any wind was how quickly a mod came out to make wyll white. how fucking sad.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#look i know there are others who also like wyll i know#but its the sheer level where he is fully ignored as a character that absolutely sends me#ive seen ppl rage at hating gale and shadowheart- ive seen the adoration for karlach and astarion#but theres no sense of emotion for wyll#its like people just ... i dunno i doubt its purposeful but it just /feels/ like racism#theres only one black man - the rest of your companions are white - and hes the ONLY ONE out of the ENTIRE PARTY thats just ignored?#hes such a goofball - yet he takes himself so seriously - his romance scenes were so touching - theres so much to wyll ...#karlach and wyll are such a good pair to have running together bc they are both good people who want to do good#i just ... i dunno. makes my heart hurt to see the only black character get shoved into oblivion

sorry to ramble in your inbox (feel free to ignore this ofc) but you are the only person on my dash being realistic about misogyny rn
I'm so annoyed by the posts like "men are being ignored by women and that's why they aren't supporting us". Because the feminist movement for over a decade has had a focus on supporting men, especially with mental health. And there's a whole month (this month!) that is focused around men's health (mostly physical but with some mental as well). And women are all over the internet encouraging men to do things like go to therapy. The list goes on.
and the fact that they know (or acknowledge) none of that shows how much posturing it all is.
"complete strangers made generalizations I didn't like on the internet so it's their fault I'm a misogynist" I am going to scream.
god i can’t stand how much the feminist movement centers men. I feel like honestly part of the problem is ppl don’t see women as a marginalized group even when women are clearly facing really brutal oppression, bc subconsciously they think that’s how it’s supposed to be.
And like , when they acknowledge women as oppressed, its never acknowledged as being done by men— there’s always some invisible boogeyman doing it: “the government” or “capitalism” or “society”. All these very vague gender neutral concepts.
The fact that it’s taboo to actually acknowledge women have an oppressor and that oppressor is MEN drives me insane. Among leftist groups it’s at its most hypocritical. They are so clearly able to understand oppression, and the dynamic between oppressed and oppressor…until it’s women. Then suddenly we’re equal apparently.
And that’s something men want, that’s why they push so hard for this narrative that “men’s issues are different but just as bad” (even tho that’s 100% fucking false lmao) because it means that they’re distanced from accountability, and women aren’t suffering anymore than them so really those bitches should just shut up about it.
It’s disgusting and intentional and I encourage any woman reading this to stop caring about “mens rights”. They already have rights.
It’s like, think about how offended ppl were when straight ppl requested their own month. Think about how blatantly racist it sounds when white ppl try to imply they’re oppressed for being white.
now unpack why you don’t feel that way with mennn
#ask tag#sexism#sorry this is only kind of related to the ask 😭#I hope more ppl are anti sexist on ur dash anon#Also ok i generally dislike using racism as an argument when it’s about smth that isnt about racism#bc I’m indigenous and it annoys me so much when ppl just use it as a “gotcha”#Like the amount of times white ppl use anti-native and anti-black racism as an easy gotcha move is crazy#BUT when it’s about sexism and hypocrisy in talking about women’s oppression#I’ll bring it up#Bc also the way sexism and racism function is way more similar than anyone talks about#Not identical but the whole hating you from birth outcasting you for your appearance making you seem uneducated and uncivilised#While simultaneously preventing you from getting an education so you stay uneducated and therefore easy to control and keep down#Fetishizing and killing you as a powerplay#Keeping you from voting keeping you from seeing any significant power#Unfair imprisonment (like how despite less women ending up in jail they tend to be there for more minor crimes with longer sentences)#Being systematically forced into poverty and having your body systemically controlled#(Note - specifically talking about cis women here. For trans women it’s a mix of some of this and a lot of really brutal homophobia)#Anyway#Oh also police brutality especially against female DV survivors#It just shocks me how ppl talk about sexism

that post abt "no that Korean speaker is not saying the nword post" pissed me tf off. I wasn't gnna say anything but yall will truly use any excuse to be all "I'm not touching you racist" to black people. it's old ass discourse that maybe yall don't know bcs yall aren't black but not once has anyone been like "oh that person speaking an entire different language with an entirely different alphabet is clearly saying a racial slur". maybe nonblack people who wanna speak for us but it's like. a whole thing. It's making up fictional black people to get mad at. calling "Americans" self-centered in the notes is crazy when we know exactly what Americans you are talking about!!
#everybody always wants to be in our fucking buisness#making up niggas to get mad at#i wasnt even gonna make this post really i wasnt but the amount of ppl going 'wow americans are so egotism and self centered' about tjis#THATS RACISM#YOUR BEING RACIST#NO BLACK PEOPLE GET UPSET ABT TJIS ITS CLEAR WHEN YALL THINK WE ARE TOO STUPID TO HAVE ANY SELF AWARENESS#the amount of times yall will say 'Americans' and really mean black people as a means to avoid being called racist like fuck off#do you know how fucked up it feels when everyone is toting around a racial slur that they truly are unable to understand the depth of#i dunno!! everybody is always inour buisness so whatever!!!!#im frustrated as fuck#no hate to op but fuck man#🌱

idk i just don’t trust ppl who say “billy is a racist abusive piece of shit” but then turn around and reblog jason content like. okay if u have that opinion that’s your prerogative but it’s MY prerogative to point out that it’s weird af to feel that way abt billy and NOT abt jason
#d speaks#st#billy hargrove#jason carver#like if u hate billy that is your prerogative esp as a black person. that said#these are white ppl i’m seeing who’re like billy is so racist!!!! btw here’s my blorbo jason#it’s just like ??????? does not compute#like if we’re comparing things that got said in canon. saying ‘there are types of ppl u stay away from and that boy is one of them’ and#saying to a black kids face ‘i thought u were one of the good ones’ like. those are. very on par with one another#like there are 4 characters on this show who made racist comments: troy. mike. billy. jason.#as far as i remember at least those are the Big Ones#and while i understand not liking billy and having his racism be one of your driving reasons behind that#i do NOT understand turning around and liking jason?????#mike okay! yes he was fully microaggressive to lucas but yeah he’s a protagonist#and the show does a lot to try and make u like him. he was younger than billy & jason and they also played that moment off for laughs so#like i get if you can sit there and be like i have no reason to dislike mike wheeler for his racism#troy tbh just doesn’t get any talk in the fandom so idk how ppl feel about him. he IS the only one to fully use a slur but#he’s also 13 and i’ve seen many ppl in the fandom who define morality based on this middle schoolers are learning high schoolers should have#already learned and should be better narrative so i wouldn’t be surprised if i saw ppl defending troy#but billy and jason are. very on par with one another in terms of the micro aggressions they committed and the level of antagonism#so i am just very thrown by seeing ppl hating one and praising the other like#it’s almost like they…… don’t actually care about racism and are in fact nowhere near as anti racist as they believe themselves to be#and instead just use the term ‘racist’ as a trump card to try and win arguments abt characters they don’t like without ever actually#putting any critical thought into this show and the way racism is intertwined into every aspect of it#because surprise!!!! it was written by blatant racists lmfao#fandom wank#i suppose lmao. wank in the tags at least#also to clarify. i think both billy AND jason are compelling and interesting multifaceted characters#they’re both good antagonists and they both present very good looks at The Type Of White Boy You Meet In Small Towns#stranger things

The way people still won't believe F1 and the people associated with F1 are racist just to defend certain teams and drivers.
I remember on this app people said no one was racist to Lewis it was just that he was too dominant, too hypocritical, too opinionated. But this 'hate' was present in his rookie year and is still here. So maybe it was racism? Now are you going to believe it was racism.
#f1#still cant believe i have to convince people that when the only black man of an organisation is being targetted its racism#still cant believe ppl thought it was just 'hate'#its giving yh ur guy faced racist abuse but my guy got hated on sooo - christian horner#like do u get it now?#lewis hamilton

unfortunately im a chaser for cis dickgirls that arent so invested in transmisogyny. the harder they are to find, the more precious they become, and the more of a chaser i become
#i need a fat broad with autism and a critical approach to gender#god i hate how you cant say that without it being a dogwhistle for reactionary transmisogyny as opposed to critical thinking#this feels like before my time cause ppl were already using the term by the early 2010s#but whats going on with critical race theory atm has a similar possible end#not that it starts to represent some particular fringe group invested in some other form of structural violence#but that it becomes more and more meaningless and putting the terms race and critical together becomes more difficult#i dont know why this post turned into a tag commentary on robbing black people of language but here we are#trying to be abrasive with other trans lesbians is hard to do without getting distracted#and just being honest about observations#also the more i think about it i dont want to make that kind of commentary about racism just for the drama#that post about hypervisibility wasnt supposed to get a hundred notes lol#i dont think i should be playing chicken like this so much or at least give it a limit idk#at least not when i chose to engage the world that way#honesty or just existence as a trans woman is already a game of chicken#fml these tags are like twice as long now

Oh. Sad
#the rhetoric and blame shifting is already bothering me btw#like ppl saying this has nothing to do with her policies like okay#the assumption everyone has that Green Party would automatically be democratic votes if they weren’t green is unreal#I have 0 opinion accelerationists tbh bc idek what the hell the intricacies of that are#the demographics#hate to say it but latinoes really did surprise me like wow guys. crazy work#the fl 60% amendment rule is insaaane#and tbh back to the Green Party thing the idea that they’re guaranteed democrats if under other circumstances is crazy#not just bc those numbers so far wouldn’t have gotten her any state#but bc the logic doesn’t hold up bc by that logic u should still be pissed at catering to right wing policies and ideals#her stance on immigration militarism fracking etc. bc she’s catering to ppl who would STILL be right wing#like the ppl who agree with her on these stances would rather see it on a white man#hate to say it but Girlboss feminism doesn’t work when you’re black#and everyone’s tip toeing around it but yes. as a black women you DO have to go harder and set more stances that align with ur voter base#bc for everyone who’ll show up for you being u in a country like this there’s twice the ppl who won’t just bc ur u#and ppl keep tryna say this isn’t about race like it kind of was. in the sense that everyone forgot that when ur black u do have to work#harder for half the credit - which is unfortunate and frustrating that bw don’t get to be vile and get rewarded but that’s what u account#for when running. like u can’t appeal to right wingers and their ideals bc their ideals and biases mean it was never gonna be you#uhm anyways this is like. are we choosing overt or covert racism for the next 4 years and apparently overt#and idk maybe I’m naive I thought this was gonna be an eye opener#that ppl would go back review the campaign see what went wrong have real convos on what we care about as a collective#but so far ppl are saying ppl who thought politicians should earn their vote need to be on the front lines and saying leftist ideals that#fell apart the second they tokenized one of us as the possible face of the imperial core#ig It’s like. are we bracing ourselves to set back until the next panic or are we finally gonna be motivated to haul ass#yknow hopefully in the end some of y’all see what we’ve been going through the entire time#also now that we can’t say at least they’re not trump anymore are we gonna break down Harris and bidens own transphobia and Zionism#or are they useless to discuss now after y’all propped them up as ur saviors for the last few months

[sarcasm]#{ if you cant tell. im black . mixed black But jesus Christ. }#( esp bc i think its usually telling bc in the spaces its happened in for me they usually Hate talking ab racism but every other talk of-#bigotry is fine and Unpunished. so theres clearly bias. its just when YOURE criticized its the issue . )#anyways i never ever ever trust white fandom obsessed ppl the racism roots run deep. as they do always but. especially there christ alive#'fandom opinion blog' was already a red flag. but Jesus fucking christ.#also the general argument of media being always for escapism and fandom being always for escapism is weird.#theres always political messages and general messages in like.. a lot of media. and bigotry that is in media . This is an excuse.#its insane looking at people just be kind of racist and awful about palestinians and irl issues in the replies of that . what the fuck man#These are real world problems this isnt about your stupid discord fandom server shit get a grip holy fuck nonblk fandom obsessed ppl r craz#vent channels do suck in any server that isnt a close knit friend server i agree But given the rest of the context and wording of these...#whatever im gunna stop rambling bc it pisses me off as someone w firsthand experience multiple times it is just selfishness and racism. jf#being black bpd autistic in the ''nonpalatable'' way And aroace makes fandom as a space full of fucking landmines for me . always has been#( blog was my fandom reali tea w/o th spaces if you wanted to block. dont harass but jfc. )#its like peering in a dark hole i havent been back in since i was 14 . dont you have better things to do than run a fandom discourse blog.

That’s sweet and all but it IS just racism bc if it were a result of what u said above more people would be trying to include Doug or Elaine or have his culture integrated into stories they’d write for him or even include Jay more - but they don’t bc it’s not about preserving anything for Duke it’s about having an excuse as to why they can ignore him.
I think it’s really funny how Tim had at least one parent besides Bruce (who was not explicitly his parent for the longest time) for most of his time as Robin and yet nobody contests that he has been Bruce’s son, Dick’s brother, etc. since far before his actual adoption. But with Duke it’s a whole debate every time.
“Duke’s parents are still alive so it’s disrespectful” Tim’s stepmom was alive but unable to take care of Tim, when he was adopted by Bruce. Is it disrespectful to her to say Tim is Bruce’s son? Or does this argument only apply to Duke?
“Bruce didn’t adopt Duke, he was just his guardian” Do you know who else Bruce also didn’t adopt for his entire childhood? Or is Dick no longer Bruce’s son in any way whatsoever?
“Dick actually called Tim his brother” Jason’s included Duke as one of his brothers.
“Some people don’t like anything post-flashpoint” Those same people usually include Kate Kane.
#like toeing the line would be having respectful depictions of AA culture in their fics#toeing the line is that fic where Jason and Bruce took Duke to get products for his hair#toeing the line is not ignoring Duke and entirely and ignoring the family dynamics that exists#like care about racism resulting in just. ignoring the black character is just more racism#like again it’s a sweet thought and I’m sure like 3 ppl feel that way but with the pattern of racism from writers and fans over decades?#it’s very much just more racism and u can see it in how much Duke is actually spoken about and how#and also fandom notorious for removing Damian’s roots entirely and making Bruce his white savior I don’t think they care about AA culture#ALSO I AM NOT HATING OR ARGUING OF WHATEVER#when I said sweet I meant it this is a nice perspective to look at it from#i just think u have too much faith in this fandom 😭#AND NOT IN A MEAN WAY#like id love more Duke stories intentionally trying to keep his roots alive and being careful about assimilation#i just don’t think that’s happening on any large scale bc look at the way fandom treats him#half the fandom couldn’t tell u his parents names without a Google search don’t get me started on gnomon

Anyways this movie is a spiritual send off to Journey to the Centre of the Earth, except pulls from Indigenous mythology & the reprecussions of //what that means// wrt the creature designs (which if you like the shapes in microbiology you might enjoy these dino-replacement 'mons!) and is overwhelmingly a pro-environment movie that tackles the negative impact mass agriculture & energy draw has on the planet, the intergenerational trauma inflicted on both individuals+the space they occupy AND how dominant ideals of what 'human progression' means leave new scars that have to be treated on a societal scale, an environmental scale, and individual parent-to-child scale.
The colours are beautiful, the animation+environments are *wonderful*, and the characters are good in and of themselves but imo take backseat to the wider story/serve as vehicles for metaphor in a way I don't consider detrimental to the movie's core spirit of reconciliation and love and living in diverse harmony (as oppossed to unsustainable monocultural prosperity that is killing the planet).
Genuinely recommend showing it to your siblings/niblings/etc. but also I enjoyed it by myself at nearly 30 so please do give it a watch!
i know this is just one post on tumblr but i am BEGGING people who can to be loud about strange world.
it is so fucking unfair for disney to not properly promote this movie at all and for it to bomb so badly in theaters like it’s doing just because it actually had genuinely good poc and queer rep! i am SEETHING about how they intentionally set it up to fail and i can’t imagine how the people who worked on the movie feel!
please be loud about it! please go see it if you can, tell your friends to see it, post about it on social media, get it trending, get as many people to see it as possible!
let the idiots at the top know we WANT better representation in movies!
#y'all gotta please remember to advertise WHAT the movie is about to get ppl's interest in it too#hater energy towards disney's bitchass selves' racism + homophobic pandering can only go so far#you ALSO have to rave about why it makes your heart shine and explain why you want others to care too#it's like the related idea of only shedding a light on Black misery/mistreatment while never *celebrating* Black joy only serves to harm#uplifting is the other half of the equation you can't simply only decry bigotry it isn't sufficent to overcome it#def gonna buy it on BluRay & have a backed up rip copy bc I do think it's a genuinely important piece of media#that I want to show future kids/grandkids bc gdi I HATE disney's grip but I can not deny the heart of their storytellers+animators#strange world

It's actually so sad to see more and more people in your country becoming far right, hateful and either violent or a violence apologist.
#its scary and disappointing and angering. can you guys just be normal???#and some moderate right wing People will pretend its not that bad because they can't handle the truth of our side having bad people#they think it has to be black and white#settler violence and right wing/far white wing racism feels like its been growing faster. look at how many ppl voted 4 ben gvir and smotrich#ugh!!!! i hope the people who are responsible for the things in umm safa huwara all these places are heavily punished#i hope people become more moderate. like kahana had like 1 mandate and otzma yehudit got tons wtd#i fucking hate this. people feel comfortable saying stuff graffitinh stuff and going out to harm Palestinians and their property#how can people be so hateful...#rant#israel#אם יש פה ישראלים: היי#I'm not right wing but you can be a right winger anf not an evil maniacm#I've heard ppl recently saying they think ppl r getting more moderate but I don't see it!#these ppl wouldn't listen to a Palestinian talking abt Israeli crimes. doesn't support their narrative and would make it hardrr 2 harm them#i hope 2 see changes by next elections. who knows maybe non voters will vote. maybe 18 yr olds are more progressive idk#it speaks
