March of "The Faithful"

[musclesandhammering]

This is your daily reminder that you’re allowed to love things that are problematic.

Celebrities/movies/artwork/fictional characters.

As long as you acknowledge the not-so-great things about them, there’s nothing wrong with stanning something that wouldn’t pass a purity test, bc irl there’s nothing and no one that would entirely pass one. Don’t let chronically online folks who get a dopamine high from feeling virtuously superior to someone they’ve never met convince you you’re a bad person because the thing you enjoy isn’t morally perfect.

Unmasking the Puppeteers: How U.S. Government-Funded Analysts Shape South Asia's Narrative

In the swirling world of geopolitics, the narratives we consume often come from voices we trust. But what if those voices, presenting themselves as independent experts, are subtly tethered to the very governments they discuss? It’s time to pull back the curtain on two of the most influential American pundits on South Asia, Derek Grossman and Michael Kugelman, and expose the hidden strings of U.S.…

If all of your activism is on social media, you're not an activist. You're just a slightly younger person yelling at clouds.

This is why social media activism is important too.

So if the haters are mocking you because they think it's your only kind, even if it is, they're wrong. Or they wouldn't be trying to slience you.

I'm going to tell you something that will be very hard to believe, but I swear to god it's true.

I know someone who, on THE DAY OF Biden's inauguration learned for the first time that we were about to have our first female Vice President.

This was a full adult person who had not heard about Kamala Harris until THE DAY OF the inauguration.

Somehow, not one person on their Facebook, Instagram, or Tiktok FYP had mentioned Kamala Harris.

Our algorithms are DIFFERENT. There are a lot of people in your life, probably more than you think, who do NOT know about the genocide in Palestine. They have NOT seen videos from journalists on the ground. They do NOT know how many people have been killed. They do NOT know about the starvation and famine. They do NOT know about the schools, hospitals, and refugee camps that have been bombed. They do NOT know about the mass graves.

I understand the frustration. I understand the bewilderment. I understand the anger.

Remember that the motivation that YOU feel is based on what YOU have seen, what YOU have read, what YOU have given the time and mental/emotional space to learn about.

Not everyone has done that. If that makes you angry, do something about it. BUT REMEMBER YOUR GOAL. Your goal is to increase the attention, money, and aid going to the people in Gaza. Punishing people for having an algorithm that's not exactly the same as yours does not achieve that goal. Start with education. Conversations. Providing resources. Sharing opportunities for aid.

It is not your job to punish. It is your job to provide. It is your job to funnel your frustrations productively, because your efforts are in service of the people of Palestine, not your own ego.
