older queers this older queers that stop this nonsense you genuinely sound like you're two steps away from saying we need to retvrn to stonewall. children are already an oppressed class! being queer and trans isolates them even further because of homophobia and transphobia making it harder to seek support and you want to disparage them for not knowing what the "rEaL wOrLd" looks like (because "discourse" about transmisogyny is definitely just terminally online gen z shit). "shut up and listen to elders for once!!" THEY ALREADY ARE

Imp core

the thing is the entire business model of small artists selling "their" merch relies 100% on the exploitation of the global south and it's workers and on the privilege that imperialism affords them to even be able to import things made with foreign labor at such a ridiculously cheap cost you can make a living out of what basically amounts to reselling other people's work! you are a piece of shit and you do deserve to starve lmfao

i love when impcorers act like its racist to be atheist and use latinoamerica and catholicism as an example of like. Good Religion. why do you think catholicism has a strong foothold in latinoamerica. certainly not the centuries of colonization

when I was in the US I used to feel so bad about missing india cause I was in the most developed country on planet earth while my motherland was a poor 3rd world underdeveloped country full of misogyny and whatnot unlike AMREEKA

maybe i am reaching but i think one of reasons why russia is losing information war in the west (while winning it in global south) besides obv point of lacking soft power here is because of russian national mentality. we grow up knowing our country is the biggest one in the world and played just as big of a role in world's history and there's certain sense of agency it sets up which someone from, say, switzerland wouldn't possess. thus for many russians being feared and hated by impcorers is more preferable to having to lower yourself with explanations to change russophobic westerners minds and in the best scenario end up in the humiliating role of misunderstood victim because the only way collective west can sympathize with you is when you're seen as completely victimized party which is the level of undignified our national pride is sensitive to. so we rather reclaim 'orc' and speak from the position of power (which ofc pisses westerners off even more and confirms their biases) than try to win pity points.

dont take this as me getting on a high horse about anything because obviously ive been in here with the rest of you all so when i say that the hermits collectively have a history of these kind of problems i have myself been letting it slide for the sake of my continued enjoyment. but we need to get real that skizz��s comments on trans people are in no way unexpected and that the hermitcraft community is in no way a safe space, for like, nearly anyone who isnt white impcore and tme. most of them are straight and cis, and theyre all white imperial core citizens! i can think of a hundred things theyve said in the past year alone that bely their privilege and their mundane prejudices. they’re casually misogynistic and casually transmisogynistic. most of them are never require to confront that human beings outside of america, canada, australia, and europe even exist. they would never say the word racism, at best because its too inflammatory. they make harry potter references all the time!!! multiple american hermits have family members in the military. THE AMERICAN MILITARY!!! they have a hundred different red flags if you care to look and if im being very honest if you’re only getting upset ab what skizz said now it’s because you’ve bought into their façade of progressiveness because they’ve paid lip service to gay and trans people. they have always been like this.

and skizz’s age has nothing to do with this. most younger americans are transphobic too. the actual reason is that skizz is a cishet suburbanite american who has never needed to take a political stance on anything in his life, and when doing the mental calculus decided that it was in his best material interest to make a lukewarm statement stance about freedom and good vibes over drawing a hard line against bigotry. “no politics just good times” is only a stance that the politically privileged can take.

infinite genocide on the first world and I mean that as an impcorer—I would be so happy to die if it meant an end to the violent oppression of colonialism and imperialism.

[takemeinyrarmy]

There is no LGBT community impcorers fucking HATE Global South people they see us all as barbaric and homophobic those are not our allies and will never be what a joke to belive there is any sort of community when constantly these impcorer gays advocate for the destruction of our countries and for foreign intervention in them, how can we see them as allies when our supposed "gay brothers and sisters" continue to uphold imperialism???

same can be said about feminism btw so many supposed feminists of the global north see the global south as a single monolith of oppression to women that needs to be eradicated to "liberate those poor women" without having any actual knowledge about the circumstances of these countries and with the ultimate goal of imposing western standard of "freedom" lol

do you have any thoughts about the function of therapy in its employment towards treating moral injury, and the concept of moral injury in general, especially with regards to impcore soldiers?

bad & evil? i mean what else would i have to say abt this. imperial soldiers should suffer & kill themselves & instead they get better healthcare than most of the rest of the world & entire psychiatric concepts revolve around their self absorbed racist sense of moral aggrievement bc military medicine is in the state's interest & listening to whatever scrap of conscience is fighting to surface in an ex mil isn't

[boundwithpurple]

if you're american impcore white i see why there's no support for Gaza on your blog, it doesn't fit your fuckass "aesthetic". go back to ignoring genocide and writing child rape porn you molested freak

well my old blog got shadowbanned because i used the word “palestine” in DMs too much while trying to gather together artists and writers for a fanzine i am editing to raise money for organizations on the ground in gaza (more info to come on this later this summer), so no, i am not ignoring the genocide, i just do my activism in other ways than reblogging tumblr posts to my fandom blog.

i don't know why i'm still not used to this, but it is genuinely insane how usamericans (and impcorers to a wider extent) generally have no idea about anything relating to latin america (or the global south tbf). like. yeah there are still indigenous latin americans. yeah in some countries they are the plurality, or at least the mestizos. in some others there are few to none. no, not all descendants of germans are the grandchildren of nazis. no, latino spanish and latino portuguese are monoliths to make a comparison to their european counterparts. yeah brazil is huge, yeah argentina has ultra hot waves in its north and a cold desert in its south. have these people ever left Richmond or Salem or Utica or Kansas City or whatever in their lives

In your opinion, why is Maoism not seen a "legitimate" ideology among socialists/communists? When I see you and other MLs here on Tumblr talk about Maosim/Maoists, it's usually in a dismissive way, almost mirroring the way Lenin talked about Trotsky or other revisionist Russian communists.

To me, it seems like Maoism should be a legitimate ideology, seeing as it laid the foundations for the most successful socialist state that still exists. Is it because it made too many mistakes? (The 3 pests program that led to famine comes to mind) Or is it perhaps that Maoists themselves divulge too far from the principles of Marxism-Leninism?

Thanks!

it really comes down to fact that:

a. Mao himself was not a maoist, he was a marxist-leninist. he followed the teachings of lenin, and the early policy of the prc was very heavily influenced by the experiences of the ussr

b. SWCC is just marxism-leninism applied to the material conditions of the PRC.

c. the first time maoism was ever really established was by sendero luminoso, which is a topic i am not too knowledgable about, just that they are/were effectively a terrorist organization (i.e. seeking to heighten class struggle by causing strife)

then theres also the less material aspects of maoism, such as the frankly silly behaviors they have, their weird warping of anti-imperialism into something else more reminiscent of impcore anarchism than anything else, etc.

maoism is also extremely popular among imperial core left-communists, probably for its opposition to most of actually existing socialism.

to believe russian intervention in donbass & maidan regime civil war is of purely expansionist character you have to 1) believe russia is still stuck in 18th century (which many russophobia indocrinated do💀) because in 21th century no conflict is done with feodal times territorial conquest purposes; 2) ignore everything russian government said about their motives (which many russophobia indocrinated do💀); 3) ignore how donbass being a part of ukraine is way more advantageous for russia than having it join like crimea (and if crimea didn't have russian naval base which russia was determined not to fall into nato hands i suspect crimea would be in the same position as donbass after maidan) since donbass formed a strong bloc within ukraine which uplifted political factions friendly to russia (yanukovich and his party were pulled thru by eastern ukraine electorate 2 times and 2 times he was overthrown by western orchestrated color revolutions) and overall formed a solid cultural counterpart to russophobic impcore oriented west ukraine. that's why applying minsk agreements was the best scenario for russia in that conflict and probably why they held to it for so long until it became impossible to deny that ukraine and its nato overlords will never follow thru with it.

impcore gays on letterboxd commenting on how Coming Out (1989) was such a brave film for the time conveniently forgetting east germany decriminalised homosexuality in 1968 earlier than any western free-market liberal democracy
