At the risk of getting canceled for NATOposting: yes I do think there's some terminally online communists who are - for lack of any better word - campist and utterly delusional about what the nature of the modern Russian state is. Frankly part of the reason I stopped talking about the war in Ukraine with most anglo communists is how casually psychopathic a lot of them are about fratricidal warfare between two reactionary despoilers of the Soviet legacy cause one side is "based" and the other isn't. Touch some fucking grass tbh.

The modern Russian and Ukrainian states are both moral fucking atrocities and the result of the plundering of the Soviet people's legacy. The only major difference between them is in one the bourgeoisie has aligned itself against the United States and in the other the bourgeoisie has collaborated with the United States. The result has been a bloodbath that would make the Soviet revolutionaries who dreamed of a future without war weep. It's everything fucking Bandera and Solzhenitsyn and all of the other vile fascist filth the Soviet people struggled against for decades wanted. I don't know if people are just afraid to confront how dismal the situation has become or are just suffering from their own material disconnect with what is happening but get some perspective.

they’re focusing so much on the war in ukraine during this year’s eurovision, russia isn’t allowed to participate, there’s even songs condemning war … but israel is still here? and people still support them? all of this while israel’s actions against palestinians include land seizures, killings, injuries, movement restrictions, denial of nationality, and other inhumane acts. accepting and supporting israel means you’re endorsing genocide and ethnic cleansing.

also the funding comes from an israeli company that appropriates a vital, ancestral part of amazigh (INDIGENOUS moroccan) culture: argan oil production. they own the patent that carry the demonym of a country/people the owner, who is latina, has no relation to. actual moroccan companies or cooperatives can’t use their country’s name.

for many families in southern morocco, argan oil is their main income - specially for the women, that produce and sell it. and they don’t make nearly as much as this company makes monthly.

not to mention how russia and israel partnered up with azerbaijan on the ongoing armenian genocide but hey :) at least they banned russia and girlie is all for girl power!

Never gonna know them, but shoutout to the healthcare workers who are breaking the law to help their patients get life-saving care. I'll never see an article about you because knowing you would risk everything including jail time. Nurses who lie on medical records so their patients can get abortions. Doctors making up shit so their patients can have HRT.

Wherever you are, you are keeping your promise to help your patient.

if youre one of those people who was defending tumblr staff fhese last few years as they have routinely showed their face more and more about how little this company gives a shit, youre a fucking moron and should consider driving a spike through your skull because i dont think theres anything in there left to destroy

banning black bloggers and defaming them as russian agents, the terfs on staff, the insistent removal of sex workers, the constant flagging of trans women as inherently sexual (not our naked bodies, just our existence), and theres been next to no proper support for vulnerable communities or resistance against hate groups. the report feature is still complete dogshit and priorities bots and tits over fucking hate crimes. and all theh do is occassionally put another fucking water bottle up and have someone make a post saying "heyy not our fault"

i dont give a single shit what the reason is, or what excuse they give. i dont care if their hands *are* bound by some other company or the law. i have the right to be fucking upset when it effects my fucking life and so does everyone else whos targetted

The epidemic of young queers ignoring or cherrypicking queer history is really biting us all in the ass because Montana just tabled the bill that banned trans and gay panic, and many of the younger queers I’ve come across have no idea what gay panic really is, or what that means.

All they know about gay panic is the “Oh my gosh! I talked to a pretty girl/boy and I’m a girl/boy hehe so flustered” that at some point replaced the actual meaning of gay panic. Do you know how dangerous this is, that they don’t know of the dangers of trans and gay panic? It’s lethal.

As things in the US become more dire for the queer community, I’m begging the young queers: read up on queer - our, your - history. Talk to your elder queers. Really look into current politics surrounding the queer community. Don’t get all your info from social media, and absolutely do not take what you see on social media at face-value. Get yourself educated and prepared for what’s to come. It’ll save lives, I promise you.
