when will we talk about the willful helplessness epidemic on here. So many people on this god forsaken website demand to have any and all things that exist outside their personal experiences directly, personally pre-chewed and spoonfed to them. And when you do, they'll then ask for you to swallow for them, too, because, you see, in THEIR experience..,

Btw, non UK users here, would be genuinely super helpful if you could boost posts relating to the far right violence happening and also counter protests. A lot of UK users don’t really follow each other, and also it just helps to increase the chance of people who could go to counter protests seeing posts about what’s happening when. I know posts about our politics; and non USAmerican politics really; don’t get a lot of traction on here, but like despite the UScentrism of the English speaking user base it’s really helpful and beneficial to share these things. The situation is likely downright horrifying to those being targeted right now and it really should be a priority for us to go out and counter this to the best of our abilities

Yeah… as someone who had a post about the submarine and the Greek migrant shipwreck unexpectedly take off to the tune of 22,000 notes, I have to say that I am uncomfortable with the popularity of that post and the way that the shipwreck has been assimilated into submarine discourses I’ve been trying to figure out why it makes me uncomfortable, and there are a few points I would highlight:

- I think that we must resist the emotional relief that is provided by situating ourselves “on the right side” in battles that are largely spectacular, ie that are exclusively about spectacle (seeing, being seen) rather than action (doing, being). There’s a reason that we crave this emotional relief: because we live in a society that is so massively, absurdly, brutally unjust that confronting its injustice, even bearing witness to its injustice, can feel intolerable at times. And cheap, easy relief is super-available. Everything in our society is urgently trying to let us NOT live with the intolerability of injustice as much as possible. But I think it’s morally requisite to identify the cheapness and easiness of that relief, and to resist it as much as possible.

- I’m very dubious about the way that this discourse has continued to be a discourse in which specific, identifiable rich characters are juxtaposed with “migrants” as an anonymous mass. I do think that in some ways media coverage is improving on this front, and I would encourage people to read this New York Times story about some of the Pakistani men who died, but overall it remains a problem. People from elite countries simply do not imagine Mediterranean migrants as people they might know, people who are real people in all the same ways that they are real people, and whose lives are lives in all the same way. The way that we tell stories feeds into this. (P.S. read Joseph Slaughter’s book Human Rights, Inc.)

- I’m angry about the money. And there are specific reasons, some of them personal, that I’m angry about the money. But to reduce the issue solely to being “about” the money exculpates national governments that wantonly participate in the most shocking imaginable forms of border imperialism.

- I have tried to think about how to phrase this in a way that is not accusatory, particularly because the Tumblr community has actually been comparatively very good, in my experience, at coming through with money, expertise, and real-life help. And this is in some ways related to my first point. But: my experience is that overall most people do not want to live with this kind of issue. They want, for their own comfort, to contain it in a way that separates it from their life. A lot of people want to read and hear things that produce emotional transformations for them— that leave them feeling moved, shattered, changed— but then don’t undertake any action in response. Some parts of this idea about emotional transformations come from Sara Ahmed, by the way, in The Cultural Politics of Emotion, but I also want to suggest a connection to something else that Ahmed says, in Strange Encounters, where she defines whiteness in terms of the ability (or in some ways mobility) to create and dismantle barriers at will. She’s talking about the ability of whiteness to “become Other,” specifically in the context of Kevin Costner “becoming native” in Dances With Wolves, but I think that this model has wider applicability. To what extent is proximity to whiteness a question of how much agency one enjoys to create and dismantle barriers between oneself and the Other at will? “I can consume your picture and your story whenever it is transformative for me to do so, but when I derive no transformation from doing so, I can enact a partition and ensure that you are contained.”

I’ll stop here because I may use some of these ideas in future writing.

my two main thoughts on this are:

-i dont think it's immoral to not care or to even laugh at the deaths of some shitty billionaires but i dont think it's immoral to like, have the tiniest shred of sympathy for their situation either.

and

-i think it's very strange how the migrants in greece being murdered is being positioned in the discourse here. i fully understand juxtaposing the way countries are flocking to rescue these five rich people while scores of innocent struggling migrants just trying to enter a nation to seek livelihood were murdered by an EU nation. it's both topical and representative of a deep sickness in our collective culture. but it's at a point now where it feels like people are almost solely using it as a cudgel in some ideological debate around this hodgepodge submarine. and i think it deserves far more than being a rebuttal in an internet philosophy debate.
