SHOCKINGLY, THE situation vis-à-vis Jews is, in some ways, even worse than during the Holocaust. Yes, I know that sounds outrageous, but it’s not. During the Holocaust, it was dangerous – and more often than not, fatal – to be caught in any place under the control of the Nazi regime and its allies. But at the same time, there were many other, safe locales around the world, out of harm’s way, where Jews could live normal, or semi-normal lives.
We're cooked, we're cooked, we're completely cooked.
NO, JEWS ARE NOT WORSE OFF TODAY THAN DURING THE *LITERAL HOLOCAUST* WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

the closest you really get is the people who get apoplectic about queers for palestine. 'don't you know that they would do to you what i really, really, desperately would love to be able to do to you'.

sometimes i think about how homonationalism doesn't really exist any more. i mean, it was entirely predictable 20 years ago (even as a dumb teenager who hadn't become a dumb adult yet) that hatred of the other would just keep extending to absorb even more 'others' but there's not even a veneer of it

Screenshot from Grindr. One person asks "Hey, are you a top?". The other replies "Hey, no sorry". The first person says "Never. Never ever apologise for being yourself - that's how the straights kept us down for a hundred years".

we don't really need more information to know if the instigators of massacres in vietnam, iraq, korea, libya & syria, subverters of democracy in south america, iran & africa & the biggest funders of israel's genocide are morally bankrupt. hope this helps.

Fascism, in the short term at least, is cathartic, it gives identity and purpose. Fascism provides meaning, it sorts worries and hatreds into convenient boxes (woke, DEI), fascism is admin for the desperate and terrified soul. For a lot of people, it feels *good*. More people than many realise.

the harm the us state inflicts on its citizens is enormous, but it pales in comparison to the harm is does on a global scale. the dissolution of the us would literally be harm reduction. nowhere have i discarded the usians that would be negatively affected by that. in fact, i even agreed above!

why are you asking me to care more about your country than any of the other people in the world that your country bombs, displaces & destabilises? i'm commenting on two possible options & weighing the benefits of both & giving my opinion. of course a third option would be better!

the terrifying thing about this is how explicit it all is. no one is scared about drawing the obvious comparisons any more. they are completely open about it. the only hope is that this is a grave miscalculation. that people aren't primed for this level of openness & they played their hand too early

everyone who is seen as exterior to that power is at risk. every single one of us. & the light at the end of the tunnel is also just an illusion. we're not going to learn from this. we didn't last time! one of these evil terfs talked about trans people like hitler, mentioning him! & nothing changed!

there is no political opposition. where does this end? it's traumatising to live through all of this. & it's not unrelated to the genocide in palestine. that's so clear. we are living in a world structured to concentrate power & the powerful are becoming increasingly & more openly cruel.

they are themselves part of the global hegemon & the world's most military powerful superpower is as bad if not worse. other superpowers aren't willing to invade to protect vulnerable people. the allies only intervened in wwii to protect their own imperial interests, after all!

& it ends up with a private company apologising for the mere existence of a certain type of person on their staff in public. this is extremely dangerous & it seems like there's nothing to be done about it? who's going to invade or pressure the ringleaders of this?

i don't know how you can look at that m&s thing in england & see it as anything but obvious fascism. powerful billionaires & politicians spend years & huge amounts of money to demonise an already marginalised group in a campaign coordinated with a willing media

to be fair to them all the same, you're named 'freedom' & my name is that of an obscure (& probably unique, unless i convinced that pregnant nurse in the george 15 years ago to name her child that) character from irish mythology who's essentially a fairy.

i've looked it up a few times & the etymology is unclear but that's given as a genuine possibility. the other is that it comes from ukkepuk which is a cutesy word for toddler & equally as psychotic.

this level of ignorance is embarrassing & of the irish times weren't such a wee loyal stenographer for the rich & powerful, you'd think that the aim of this reporting would be to humiliate him.

they also commonly have the name puck for girls which (& I'm genuinely recommending you sit down before you consume this information) is very possibly etymologically descended from púca via shakespeare.

looks like the irish scannán is a calque also deriving from the old irish word for skin, but i can't find an etymological source apart from wiktionary. do you have any insight into it?

one thing that struck me when i was looking at reactions to the game when it came out is how it got people talking about their own reactions to grief like addiction or putting over last voicemails. what is going to happen when we have actual artificial intelligence? anyway, fuck this guy.
