Hot take but I think the best way to make Homestuck be able to be experienced by public as intended would be to port it to Ren'Py and put it on Steam as a free game.
Do not allow yourselves to stoop to the level of antisemitism. This harms not only Jewish people, but Palestinians as well. The atrocities committed by the State of Israel are not attributable to all Jewish people. Likewise, violence committed by the religious extremists in Hamas does not reflect on every Palestinian Muslim.
Judaism is not the problem. The problem is the Israeli settler colonialist project, of which not every Jew supports. Zionist Jews are opposed by both secular and religious Jews in Israel and abroad for many reasons. The conflation between Zionism and Judaism only serves the interests of right-wing extremists on either side of the conflict. Do not allow far-right Zionists and antisemites to conflate Zionism with Judaism. Antisemitism is inexcusable.
Antisemitism reinforces Zionist rhetoric, inciting further hatred and violence against the Palestinian people. Oppose racism and bigotry of any kind. Reject antisemitism. Stand against apartheid. Reject Islamophobia. Stand with the oppressed people of Palestine. 🇵🇸
Man finally a correct take! Seen a disturbing amount of “lefties” (mostly tankies but still) defending Hamas as a liberatory movement. Anyway yeah fuck all ethnonationalist zealots, and I hope the little people make it out alright.
That being said it looks like the Israeli state is gearing up for a full on ethnic cleansing :( They just told millions to “evacuate” Gaza in a matter of hours, blatantly engaged in collective punishment by shutting off water and electricity, and are using white phosphorus on civilian centers. Fucking evil shit. God I hate how cruel far right regimes are to people
Israel and Hamas have a pretty symbiotic relationship, the cruelty of the Israeli government against the people of Palestine (alongside possibly a little funding) created the conditions from which a far right anti-semitic terror group like Hamas could arise. Hamas attacks on Israel get used as justification for even more oppression, cruelty, and attempted genocide by the Israeli government (with the blessing of the Western Worlds powers that be), which then perpetuates the conditions in which terror groups like Hamas thrive… etc, etc, etc.
Meanwhile, while the genocidal zionists and the genocidal antisemites fight, the innocent people living in Palestine (and occasionally the people living in Israel, but that is statistically way less common) are the ones who suffer and die because the alt-right powers that be have locked themselves in a violent death spiral that began with Israels program of settler colonialism. They are being ground up by the cyclical nature of violence.
Israel’s program of settler colonialism must end, land has to be returned, blockades must cease, and borders must be torn down. But that alone will not be enough to free Palestine, not anymore. To be of the opinion that both the Israeli state and Hamas are evil isn’t weak “both sides are bad”-ism, it is to take the side of the people of Palestine themselves and recognise the fact that they will never be free until the cycle of violence they are trapped within ends.
There are Jewish Palestinians, there are Christian Palestinians, there are Secular Palestinians, there are queer Palestinians, and there are Muslim Palestinians who disagree with the beliefs of Hamas (because despite how so many people like to talk about religion, no religion is a monolith, and to pretend they are only legitimises Islamophobia and antisemitism) none of these people will be free under an alt-right Islamic state. All will continue to face oppression and violence.
The powerful fight one another and, because of that fighting, those without power suffer and die. History repeats itself.
No one needs to be antisemitic to support Palestine.
And Netanyahu wasn’t propping up Hamas for the good of Palestinians. It was a divide and conquer strategy, pitting the West Bank against Gaza so that he could avoid a fair and equitable two state solution.
Hey, so we haven’t forgotten that Scott Cawthon is an awful far right wing trumper nutjob, right? We’re all agreed it doesn’t matter how fucking awesome the Henson shop effects or whatever in the movie are, y’all aren’t going to pay to see it and give him more money, right?
This news broke, and then the very next week the new game had a femme cyborg wolf, so furries forgot about it entirely. One of the culture’s biggest disappointments imho
Okay, I was just going to reblog this without commentary, but I can’t keep this to myself. I’m a PhD student in environmental science and this is my fucking highway.
The first published study about climate change (that I am aware of– feel free to point out if there’s an older one) is an 1896 paper by Svante Arrhenius. He pointed out the link between the greenhouse effect and changes in atmospheric CO2.
Plate tectonics, which the geoscience community now recognizes as near indisputable, was a fringe theory until about the 1960s.
Just in case anyone thought that climate change was a “recent fad” in research.
While most Palestinians do not want to wipe out the Jews who live there, wouldn't Hamas make that call? Are they not the ones in charge? They seem to really like killing Jews and I don't think they really care what the average Palestinian thinks.
now i don’t think it takes a genius but i would say the group that openly states it wants to wipe out another group, has murdered 3000 children in two weeks, and has been occupying and systemically brutalizing the other group for 75 years doesn’t really have the moral high ground on who “really likes killing” no?
I genuinely changed my mind when I saw a map of countries that recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization.
NOBODY in Asia or entire global South did. Only Europe, North America, Australia and Israel.
Then I realized that perhaps I have been fed exaggerations and lies.
Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood supports Israel!
Roy committed unspeakable crimes as a soldier in the Ishval Civil War and witnessed the horrors of killing innocent people. Since then, he has dedicated his life to atonement and has worked tirelessly to make his once-oppressive country a better place for its citizens. He firmly believes that wrongs can be righted, and that civilians are often victims of their government. To him, organizations like Hamas are viewed as enemies that must be defeated.
This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever seen, the absolute lack of self-awareness
Like. Ishvali Genocide is alternate universe equivalent to Holocaust right?
