WHY YOU'RE NOT SEEING PALESTINIAN SUFFERING "As the lights go out in Gaza and the people are butchered in the dark, ask yourself why you're not seeing interviews with Palestinian parents and children living in the most miserable place on earth about their dreams repeatedly turning to nightmares. Ask yourself why you're not seeing the stories of the multiple journalists who were murdered while trying to amplify the voices of the unheard." -Dr. Omar Suleiman

I just want to show you all something.
Tumblr media
This is crazy! Look how it is worded. The UN gave Palestine and only Palestine its own branch (UNRAW). People that worked for the UN were heavily involved in the massacre of Oct 7th. The UN has continuously backed Palestine over Israel, they admit to giving money to terrorist organizations, they have never once stood up for Israel and they deny the indigenousness of Jews to the land of Israel and do not allow any other country to transfer refugee status to loved ones.
This is the propaganda we are talking about. This, hamas is a terrorist group who forcefully took control of Palestine after a bloody and brutal civil war, that ended with hamas in office. This was in 2006-2007. Before Hamas they had an ability to vote, since that was kinda why the uprising happened... Palestine has not had a vote since hamas has been in office. There has been more violence, more cruelty to the citizens.
Also their blog is "Palestine News 786", this is how people get sucked into bias. This is a legitimate claim from the people of Palestine. Palestine has state media which means that the government controls the media outlets. So everything that comes out of articles directly from the country are heavily biased, staged, even just flat out lies.
If you play the victim people will think you are a victim and stand up for you. But you would stab them in the back at the first chance you'd get.
People think this is legitimately a news source and that's horrifying...
The internet has ruined education when it was supposed to make it easier to educate ourselves. With the overload of information on a single topic people tend to go with one of the first few links (which their spot is placed there because they pay google). Wikipedia is the worst resource and I don't understand why it even exists other than to be able to manipulate and confuse others.
How about the terrorists stop carrying out acts of violence against countries like Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine.
Think about where you get your information before you take it seriously...

yea once again i am really hoping it's not a full blown server, i sincerely do not think qstudios is ready for that kind of undertaking and ngl i'm not either. like as much as i go fucking wild for the multilingual communications, even if by some miracle they completely fixed the legal side of things there's some other stuff that's raising some red flags for me so uh.......
.......can i rant about time zones i just want to rant about time zones i've been sitting on this for like half a year and getting more and more like ??!?!?!!?!?!!!?!!?!!!?!!?!!?
like first of all there have been europeans since the fucking first day of the server and yet very rarely were events scheduled at euro-friendly times and when they WERE it felt like it was because the french fans beat the studio into doing it, which they obviously should not have to do and it would have been SO easy to just hold a couple events at euro friendly times instead yknow trade it off like shared custody because we have the update accounts and if it's on a weekend some americans can just wake up before noon and still catch it live. it would have been so easy i don't get why the euro fans had to fight so hard for this.
secondly why in the fuck would you invite people to a server that is entirely about collaboration without making sure there would be people online during their usual hours and YES this is about the koreans, why in god's name would that not be included as a consideration? the only reason yd interacted with as many people as she did was because she fucked up her sleep schedule like that shouldn't be a requirement. i can think of a couple "blue sky" (i.e. idealistic with no regard for real feasibility) solutions, like "invite a few people from an existing language that stream in that time frame" or "invite another language group in that rough time zone", but honestly i'm flabbergasted. did we not consider this or did we just decide we didn't care?? there's a fucking half day difference between the prioritized server timezone and korea. sorry, but it's a multicultural server; you can't prioritize america forever, even if the server owner is from there
third and less importantly but why in god's name was pepito going to be given a european admin. most of pepito's parents don't come online before midnight in europe. that's fucking insane. that was doomed to fail from the beginning. obviously this is small potatoes in terms of pepito but what the fuck was that. who fucking signed off on that.
#qsmp#ok this i might have to tag#qsmp neg#small potatoes but holy FUCK has this been bugging me for fucking ever#block game brainrot#shut up vic#i try not to be negative but qstudios what the fuck was that#sincerely time zones are a huge fucking blind spot which is BAD when they want this to encompass the world#shocker but when your server encompasses the world you can't cater to fucking america constantly#i get that it's quackity's main audience but the server was made up of WAY MORE than quackity's audience#that was the fucking point of it. i do not understand.#they HAD the fucking update accounts. why not schedule a few events for europe.#americans could either wake up early or catch the vod. the way EUROPE HAD TO#fucking TRADE CUSTODY HOW HARD IS IT#ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and biases on the table i live in the USA so#anyway. this is the hater in me coming out in honor of election night#i'll try not to do it again#actually if this is me being a hater i got one more thing#DON'T LEAVE PEOPLE OUT OF GROUP ART PIECES IN PURG//ATORY TEAMS#i make a point not to reblog red team art that doesn't include everyone who logged in#AND I EXPECT THE SAME FOR EVERY TEAM#(the one exception is green team members that may have joined later i don't require them in other team group shots obv)#(as in after the green team was dissolved and split)#anyway that was bugging me too#so. uh. anyway. / end hater arc or whatever#sorry to be so negative i am an american it is november 5th god help us#qsmp crit#forgot one

#First of all: sorry for vagueposting#Honestly I find it hard to consider bsd a stranger to quite directly referencing the world wars...#There's literally a character from an anglophone country who threatens and was fully willing to drop exactly two bombs–#of immense destructive power that would raze the city... There's no way that's a coincidence...#Also the Guild attitude is very much the one of the usa invader that greatly effected Japan post wwii...#It is particularly evident by chapter 15‚ not to mention the way Fitzgerald struggles (read: refuses)–#to pronounce Japanese names correctly...#Bsd overall just makes a very unflattering‚ stereotypical depiction of people from the usa#- shallow and apathetic and disrespectful of other countries' culture and attached to economic interests -#that like. if you ask me really really speaks of holding resentment for the post wwii occupation of Japan.#And bsd **is** an extremely nationalist manga‚ peoples. c'mon. every single foreign character is a villain. c'mon.#It heavily implies it's better being Japanese mafia than a foreigner. c'mon...#And just in case - though there shouldn't be any need for me to say that#- I'm not American‚ I have no personal interest in defending the portrayal of Americans - and I don't mean to.#I'm just saying bsd's portrayal of foreigners is a biased portrayal that most definitely was heavily influenced by the USA's occupation–#of Japan and overall looks with hostility to all other countries and is in that deeply nationalist because... It is.#Lastly it's not completely true bsd authors had little to do with war: maybe it was an exception in Op's mind‚ but let's not forget about–#Thou Shalt Not Die.

It’s deeply disturbing to me that my dad having Fox News on day in and day out, repeating the same lies, has made my otherwise reasonable, science believing, liberal mom genuinely believe some ridiculous things- that China is trying to take over the world, that climate change isn’t that bad and it’s only a natural cycle of the earth that we’ll survive just fine, that having anti-fossil-fuels arguments means you want the collapse of the United States. These are all factually untrue, exaggerations and false correlations. They sound fucking crazy! Yet having them pounded into your head by an assertive man who sounds like he knows what he’s talking about and scorns all alternate arguments as those of “sheeple” instead of providing an unbiased view, slowly starts making you see those claims as facts. Especially when Fox is framed as a factual source (rather than entertainment which it is actually classified as) and is the majority or only source of world news and political opinion. Do people not realize how apeshit crazy, anti-fact, leading, mean-spirited and ignorant these shows are? Do they not know how to judge a credible source and discern opinion from evidence-based facts? Or is it just easier to hear somebody say, everything you���re told to be afraid of is a lie, scapegoat it on the Evil Communists instead?

This article was from last October and thus does not take the most recent events into account but I often find myself going back to it lately... Excuse me while I also now quote excessively from it below:
ROBINSON
And this helps us to understand the development of Palestinian resistance to this project. Today, this is characterized often as being based on irrational anti-Semitism. But as you point out, when we understand the history of the development of this resistance, we see it differently. There are even early Zionists on the record saying things like I don’t know how you expect the Palestinians to react, they’re going to react the same way every indigenous population reacts when there is a colonial project to impose minority rule. [Ben-Gurion himself said: “If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country.”]
...
ROBINSON
There have been many attempts in the United States and Israel to make Palestinians completely unpalatable and impossible offers and then characterize Palestinians as unreasonable, uncompromising “rejectionists” when they won’t accept the offer.
KHALIDI
That’s a trope that goes back to Abba Eban: “Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.” There weren’t very many opportunities. There might have been one or two. I talk about the 1939 White Paper. It was a very limited opportunity. The Palestinians, in my view, were very foolish to fail to accept it. There might have been other opportunities. I was involved in the negotiations at Madrid and Washington [in the early 1990s] with an Israeli delegation in which we tried to achieve self-determination and statehood. And that was something that was systematically denied us by the ground rules laid down by the United States at the behest of Israel. The same ground rules ended up governing the Oslo process later on. So there was no opportunity there.
It turns out, I argue in the book, and I’ve argued elsewhere, that the maximum that would be offered, has ever been offered to the Palestinians, is some form of autonomy under Israeli sovereignty with complete and absolute Israeli security control. Israelis would have control of the borders, the airspace, the land, and the water under everything that Israel was willing to offer under every Israeli government. I go into Yitzhak Rabin’s shift in his willingness to accept the existence of a Palestinian people and his willingness to negotiate with the PLO. But even Rabin in his last speech made it very clear that there would never be a Palestinian state.
So self-determination, statehood, and independence are ruled out by the Americans and Israelis, then and now, I would argue. So what are we talking about? You can pick up your own garbage, but we’ll arrest anybody we want, any time we want, to torture them, beat them up, and drag them off to our jails. And we’ll do it to anybody who resists our dominance, and we make all the laws, and you obey our military rules. What kind of “state” is that? That’s not a very good deal.
ROBINSON
Let me dwell on this because it seems critical. To the extent that there has been talk of a “two state solution,” what has actually been on the table consistently in every negotiation for the last 50 years has never involved a concession by the United States and Israel—they negotiate together—that Palestinians should have anything that we would consider to be equivalent to a state in the sense that other states are states.
KHALIDI
The United States talks the talk, but it will not walk the walk. It will never say “this outcome has to include complete and absolute Palestinian independence.” It will never impose that in Israel. It will never lay that on the table as the outcome that has to be reached.
There are some Israeli governments that came closer to this than others. Rabin came closer. But none of them would have accepted the idea that Israel would give up its security control, that Israel would cease to control the borders, that Israel would cease to be the only sovereign power. I mean, if you don’t have your own army and your own borders, and your own economy, and your own ports and your own airports and your own airspace, you’re not sovereign. You’re not independent. You’re a dependent subunit of a larger sovereign state. And that’s all that Israel has so far been willing to offer. The United States has never pushed it to do anything more than what Israel was willing to do. The deference of the United States to Israel is limitless.
...
ROBINSON
When you said the Palestinians are not engaging in terrorism, one important point is that various means of resistance are denied them. You’re very critical in the book of attacks on civilians. But at every stage, the available ways that Palestinians can fight back have been constricted, and those things that horrify us come out of that. 
KHALIDI
I think there’s another point to be made. I argue in the book that various forms of armed action, including, especially, attacks on civilians, are horrific, immoral, and, very importantly, politically counterproductive. I go into this in some detail at one point in the book. But it has to be said that slaughtering civilians is slaughtering civilians. When Israel kills 16 children and five women in Gaza, using 2000-pound bombs and Hellfire missiles, if you don’t describe that as terrorism, and you describe the death of an Israeli child or an Israeli woman or another Israeli civilian as terrorism, this is Orwellian language. You are simply using the word “terrorism” as a bludgeon to demonize Palestinian resistance, whereas somehow the murder of children in Gaza … 16 kids were killed in these attacks, five women were killed in these attacks. Heaven knows how many other civilians were killed. Maybe a dozen militants were killed? I don’t know. But 30 or so civilians were murdered. If that’s not terrorism, then the word has no meaning. And this happens every single time. There were 240 civilians killed in one of these attacks a few years ago. Each time the toll is equally lopsided. Why are attacks on civilians not considered terrorism? If you use the same measure, I have no problem with the use of that term. But then you have to describe the use of Hellfire missiles and F-16s and heavy artillery in the same way. In the book I go into the kinds of weapons that are used by Israel— the artillery, the missiles, the aircraft, the helicopters—and the indiscriminate nature of the attacks on a population of a couple of million people in a tiny area. If that’s not terrorism, I don’t know what is. But of course, the term is only applied to the Palestinians. Somehow Ukrainian resistance is not terrorism yet Palestinian resistance is. I repeat, I think the killing of civilians is wrong and immoral. It’s a violation of international law. But if that’s true for the Palestinians, certainly it’s true for the Israelis as well and on a much larger scale.

this might be a weird question, but is there anywhere i can get reliable information on what's happening in palestine? like, i see a lot on here about the current situation and how to help, but i only know the absolute basics about how it started/why it escalated to this point. i could just google but seeing as i'm in america, i'm worried the results i find would be biased in the wrong direction, or just straight up false. i know i have some mutuals who are more informed than i am, so i'm hoping some of you can help me find some things to read so i understand more?

I went on a bit of a Tumblr Search Journey (as one does) after writing the intro and got reminded of just how many classical art blog owners are covert fascists/terfs. I think the former are more common on twitter but I've heard quite a bit about the latter on here. Which is funny when you come to think about it.
All artists are shaped by their era. The "softly realistic women varying in size depending on artist and era" have always fit very precisely curated white beauty standards.
You can think they're cute or hot (I sure do. That's why I reblog all these paintings, aside from the admiration of the artist's skills) but if you don't consciously acknowledge the biases these people dealt with and their own share of racism and sexism just because this woman has a fat fold you have no consideration for historical context. Which never ends well in political movements, which feminism obviously is.
The reason these people didn't draw thin hourglass/skinny thick/BBL/whatever bodyshapes that are "in" today is because these body trends didn't exist, many of the body shapes weren't even physically possible.
This probably doesn't mean anything, but I do not consider you feminist for praising the male painter's art for painting women he thinks are hot just because the trends have changed. Lowkey, the same goes for lesbian/bi women artists too, at least to a degree.
These are faces and bodies of one race, a few ethnicities from said race, and a very lucky set of genetic makeup. All of that shown through someone else's specific vision. Someone, who might or might not have even seen women as fully human. If you look at these portrayals as the True Female Form maybe stop for a second and do some soul searching.

While, yes, there is evidence of this being some of the case, I think it's important to also consider two important things: where the company who produced this source sit and how much of what's out there was propaganda for Russia or by others (and how this may somewhat overlap considering anti US government sentiment is something shared by both the Russian government AND US communists who are legit leftists).
So who owns WIRED? How reliable is it and how much weight should this article be given? The simple answer is, yes, it's all true, but also we have to be aware of the framing of this article and, most importantly, what is being omitted and what is being highlighted. There was absolutely interference in the 2016 election, this has also been proven in courts and in other sources beyond just the one given, so WIRED absolutely checks out with its facts as being true. However, not everyone who had this opinion was a Russian spy and certainly people who hated and still hate Hillary are Russian spies at all. However, many are leftists who are radical communists or anarchists who hold an agenda similar to that of Russia; the growth of communist ideologies and anti us government sentiment.
That reflects today and it's not only true for the US, but for Palestine as well. For those unfamiliar, Russia has been pushing (along with China) for a single state solution for Palestine and have been very aggressively anti Israel. This isn't because what Israel is doing is wrong though, this is because Israel is aligned with the USA and NATO, which is exactly what Russia's target was during election interference in the USA before and would be once again today. It's entirely to undermine the capitalist/ liberal USA government and always has been since even the Vietnam War and the Cold War.
What needs to be considered in this case is this then; is it an enemy of the capitalist system only or the existence of the USA at all? Would a new purely leftist government taken through revolution be Russia's goal, or the destruction of the government in order to win in a war? I actually don't know, but I do know that I can agree that democrats have committed horrific acts to keep NATO existing and that NATO itself is an imperialist power.
This is where a lot of nuance comes in here, do we accept that there is Russian propaganda that happens to align with leftist ideals or do we reject our own ideals because we don't want to confirm to Russian interference? It's hard to know what way is the "right" way since there is a lot of geopolitical factors at play here. It's hard to know what would be the overall best. Ultimately, I think it depends what type of future we, as individuals, want for the USA. If you're a Trotskyist, for example, you may align with Russia's perspective already since you already happen to believe in the same ideologies. Likewise, you may be against the fall of the government overall and want internal change through peaceful means and no use of force, which means voting blue anyway regardless of who it is even without this interference or knowledge of it. I think, in this way, as much as it is important to know all of this, it isn't as earth shattering as one might think at first glance. There's nuance and context behind it that, when you think about it, isn't all that surprising.
Essentially, it really depends on your beliefs and how ""susceptible"" to said propaganda you are. Especially since this propaganda isn't just "Russian propaganda" but specifically communist propaganda, which will push people into being radicalised into far left circles, which...isn't really a bad thing depending on where you sit. Of course, this isn't for everyone and those who are more centrist/ moderates would see it as a very bad thing for so much far left propaganda to exist and push for revolution. And overall, of course, both sides would have at least some concern that it's from a foreign country, no matter how inevitable it is due to the geopolitical context that said country would do this in any situation that could radicalise people into communism.
For people who don't remember the 2016 Tumblr was full of Russian trolls who posed as progressive social justice blogs and urged young liberals to throw their vote away on a third party. You can read more about it here :https://www.wired.com/story/tumblr-russia-trolls-propaganda/ This camapign was extraiordinary succesful and third party voters were a key reason why Trump one( if you look at the electoral results you will see that the race was so close that if the third party votes had gone to Hillary she would have easily buried Trump) Sadly we didn't know that this was a orchestred camapign until Tumblr released the data itself and told us who the blogs were. Those were not simple spam blogs. They were pros. They knew how to talk to people, they made real posts and interacted. They tried this in 2020 but we were wary because the memories were still fresh But now thy are trying again. I just found this guy who is running the EXACT same play book as in 2016. Pretending to be a person of color , poting progresive posts while at the same time urigng everyoe to vote third party. As soon as I called him out he immedately blocked me beause he knew I outed him. So now i's up to you guys. Don't let Trump supporting Russian trolls run their psy ops here. Report en masse and get them now instead of waiting for months for tumblr to tell us they worked for Trump REPORT THIS RUSSIAN TROLL NOW. DON'T LET THEM PULL THEIR GAMES AGAIN: https://www.tumblr.com/decolonize-the-left
#sorry for the long ramble but context is important and I think this gives people extra information to decide where they want to sit#I personally agree with this specific thing so I may be somewhat biased#That being said I am against Russia's push to aquire power and (unlike the Trotskys I know) I se Russia as an imperialist power as well#I don't trust Russia but I can at least agree that we share some ideologies and anri US gov sentiment is one of them#I would personally still push to have a revolution and for further radicalisation because capitalism is a cancer that's killing our world..#but also implementing preventions against Russia and a strategy to stop them from becoming too confident when one imperialist competator is-#- eliminated.#I think preparing for interventions to prevent Russia's imperalism is important but that shouldn't mean compromising on a revolution#since we do legitimately need one since yeah the USA is just as bad if not worse when it comes to imperalism and corruption.#The optimistic result would be a strong communist party in the USA that is so anti imperialist that they can remain strong and independent#Even more preferable would be a revolution that returned sovereignty to the rightful Indigenous people of the land.#It would be great if the revolution was by and for them but idk if there'd be enough numbers for a successful revolution in that case.#I at least hope that they'd be the ones to lead since there's no anti imperalism until the country is decolonised and the land is returned.#but yeah I think I made my point anyway
