If there's one thing I've respectively noticed from Zionists and defenders of Israeli war crimes, it's that every source, argument and potential avenue to explore each explanation is riddled with cherry picking, moving the goalposts and mental gymnastics to explain why their conclusions, which typically are barely even related to the sources they use, somehow overshadow literal reality and what we see with our own eyes.

While scrolling, one example I came across was the repetitive misrepresentation of BLM, antifa and quotes from Martin Luther King Jr, as well as statistics, scholarly journal articles and government website information. These are all good sources, yet every single time they're mangled completely until the only possible "interpretation" of any of them is "well Israel is right to defend itself after shorting rockets beforehand because the retaliation was brutal and all Arabs are bad by default therefore". As if any of these sources are even about individual exceptions of Israel versus hatred towards Arabs.

I think what I find most absurd, as someone in the middle of their own studies, is how every bit of critical thinking and logic goes out the window as they do every single thing possible to do what professors worldwide say NOT to do when evaluating sources. It's like watching a race to see who can tangle and misconstrue scientific information to fit their world view the fastest. Then said people say "um actually I studied at university before so it's actually not wrong that I'm doing this exact this everyone is warned not to do because I have a permit". Ignorance I can forgive, but willful and arrogant manipulation? That's another thing entirely.

Some Tolkien affirmations to help you along when the darkness seems too much and everything seems lost

"The world may be grim, but there's always hope. Even in the darkest of days, there may be one bright star to guide you."

—Elrond

"It is not despair, but only the handing on of a torch."

—Aragorn

"The greatest good returns at last to those who share it freely."

—Gandalf

"It is not by sorrow and by suffering that we grow. It is by the choice we make when faced with sorrow and suffering."

—Fëanor

"The world is changed because I am in it."

—Bilbo Baggins

bonus round (Tolkien never actually wrote this — Peter Jackson did — but it's a good fucking line and Tolkien would have 100% agreed with it):

“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

— Gandalf

[welpnotagain]

sorry but the fact that the hooligan fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv got their fucking ass beat after saying things like "there are no schools in gaza because there are no children left" and singing praises about the Israeli military attacks on gaza is funny as hell. Football fans punch each others shit in all the time and genuinely if you say Nazi shit you get fucking hit. Calling it a pogrom is fucking insane.

Since Bleach Cour 3 will air this Saturday, I just wanna say that :

Please don't associate or compare any similarity between the Wandenreich and or Quincy with Israel

They don't have the slightest similarity. Trying to point out any similarity between those two will only unintentionally feed to the western "making Israel sympathetic" propaganda (when the soldiers and citizens are very much conscious of their government's genocidal plans and all of them take glee in killing and torturing and watching Palestinians suffered; even if they got trauma or mental health issue, it doesn't change the fact that they consciously choose to be racist and homicidal and keep continuing to do so regardless of what they mentally and psychologically get from the atrocities they commit and they don't and will never really really feel guilty like really really regret it for the thousands and billions of innocent blood on their hands) and further stigmatize the already badly written oppressed race Quincy (because we know Kubo not only sucks in writing female characters and POC characters)

Imagine waking up to someone demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect in full swing, but not only telling someone else w/ a significantly better understanding of the topic at hand to "educate themselves" à la antivaxx to vaxxer, but also slinging antisemitic slurs while at it.

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

i have a lot of complicated feelings about sdmi and its portrayals of SA and domestic violence--which is many posts' worth of a subject, and i'll probably end up properly drafting out at least some of them sooner or later--and one of them is that ricky and pericles are a surprisingly good and chillingly accurate depiction of financial abuse.

this show spikes the ball right into the center of the earth on its other SA/IPV dynamics, but every time i come back to pericky with more life experience and uncover more layers to it, i am genuinely shocked by how consistently they get it right. and not only that, but it's representation for a demographic of survivors that you just do not see in fiction, ever, played fully for tragedy and horror when it would have been so, so easy for them to make light of it or victim-blame.

and just, yeah, the financial abuse is honestly a big one. that's not something you see pretty much ever, let alone in kid's media and let alone with accuracy or respect. this show swings wildly back and forth between 'hats off' and 'what the fuck is wrong with you,' and pericky (as opposed to both romance subplots with the gang 🙃) falls pretty squarely into the first one.

(mostly. boy that sure is some homophobia going on lmfao)
