Breaking character for a moment, stay safe out there folks. What happened last night was a horrendous act of violence (and has to be condemned) but we cannot allow the far right to capitalise on what happened to sow division or spread mayhem. We gain nothing as a society, and in fact stand to lose everything, if the legacy of one act of violence is hundreds of retaliatory attacks.
The victims of fascism are our neighbours, or friends, our fellow humans, and we owe it to one another not to let a bunch of far right weirdos take over the narrative and divide us. We must stand strong and protect one another from the spread of fascism within these six counties, and the island in general. Do not give them an inch.
To paraphrase the words of the many antiracists who protected Kenmure Street in Glasgow from Home Office thugs: "These are our neighbours! Keep them safe!"
I have been saying for like a decade now that Gaelic is caught between, on the one hand, 1) the awareness that Gaels are a marginalized ethnolinguistic community â I am inclined to agree that Gaels are capital-I Indigenous, but even if you disagree the basic truth here remains â whose language and culture have been subject to systemic efforts to erase them over the past several hundred years, both by states and by landlords who had state backing to pursue what amounted to ethnic cleansing and, on the other hand, 2) the civic claim made for and on Gaelic by the post-devolution Scottish state, that Gaelic is a âScottishâ language belonging equally to everyone in Scotland.
the problem with the latter claim is that by making Gaelic a common property of the entire âScottish nationâ â whether we define Scottishness in reactionary, white supremacist terms or expansively to encompass immigrants and people of color, anyone who has chosen to make Scotland their home â it refuses to assign priority to any personâs or communityâs relationship to Gaelic. Gaelic belongs to everyone, and so it does not belong to anyone in particular. under such a framework, a native speaker from Lewis and a second-language learner in Edinburgh have exactly the same basis for making rights claims against the state, and in such a framework there is an obvious basis for prioritizing Gaelic funding and development in urban spaces, since there are more (self-identified) Gaelic-speakers in Glasgow or Edinburgh than in any individual Gaelic-speaking community, even if they make up only a tiny fragment of those citiesâ populations.
there is, it seems to me, at least partly an is-ought confusion here (and at this point itâs hard not to see it as a willful one): ought Gaelic to be a âScottishâ language, present throughout the country? sure, I guess. but it isnât, and to act as if it were is, at best, to continue a policy of state neglect by ignoring the realities that continue to marginalize Gaelic communities. at worst, it is to actively encourage the continued dispossession of Gaels from their language, culture, and communities, to say that Gaelsâ relationships to their language do not matter, to say that Gaelsâ language doesnât, in the end, belong to them at all but to âScotlandâ. this absolves the state â and any non-Gaels who have learned the language â of any responsibility to support Gaelsâ communities in particular, or to address the relationship between language and other areas of policy, which de facto means absolving the state of any responsibility to meaningfully support Gaelic at all. why fund community-based projects, land buybacks, housing in the Highlands and Islands when you could make sure the cops who are arresting anti-genocide protesters have âPoileas Albaâ on their cars?

something something fluent learners of a language often hold something of a queer position within the community they enter into, being not from the place the language originates from but attempting nevertheless to cross the border between outsider and insider, in a similar (and often the same) way to how migrants hold queer positions within the countries they move to, both belonging to the nation/language/culture and often being written out of it. in this essay i will

All right, Ubiquitous Anxiety Chips, I bet a cool ten grand on you, so donât let me down!

Hmm.
white europeans love to pretend like the united states and europe arenât two cheeks of the same ass
Listen, nobody who's ever opened a history book says we didn't do that shit first. Pick an atrocity and chances are there was a time europeans did it on mass to someone for the sake of profit. The difference, is that we have for the most part put that behind us, while the US is just sinking deeper and deeper into it. We're not perfect, and we were a lot worse in the past. But it has been a while since we were the problem
so the racism, antiblackness, islamophobia, and hatred for immigrants just disappeared huh
Do not forget the antisemitism. Theyâve been at that shit 2000 years and it did not start nor end w the Holocaust
@brainscrems i know you know this, but for the people at the back: antisemitism is like, a foundational concept in European philosophy: pretty much every European political movement has an element of antisemitism within it (which includes anarchism: Bakunin was an antisemite; there is an uncomfortable association between Stirner and Nietzsche; some early IWW propaganda uses the Octopus - later used by the nazis - to illustrate the spread of capitalism; &c.), or has antisemitism as a foundational philosophy. dont forget that it took until twenty years after the Holocaust for the Catholic church to change its position on who was responsible for the death of Jesus
racism is also, just. different? in Europe. compared to the US, for example. in Ballymena (North of Ireland) they had a bunch of racist riots last year targeted mostly against Romanians, who are considered "white" in the US. or Brexit was effectively the result of a national debate in the UK over the "whiteness" of Polish people and other Eastern Europeans. all that to say that Europe is incredibly racist and the people saying we dont have a huge problem are being disingenuous
also never ask a settled Irish person what they think of Travellers... Jesus Christ
should i be buying kerrygold ?

Oh sorry for the confusion. Itâs because I hate cops
To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away.
As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other.
We honor her memory and oppose the war.

Statement from the Fire Brigades Union on the transphobic EHRC code of practice đ„đ„đ„
[Images description: A Twitter thread by Rabbi Mike Rothbaum (@ Rav_Mike) that says the following:
1) âOur local schools are plagued by antisemitism. Thereâs a speaker engaged by a local shul ostensibly to discuss antisemitism. Ÿ of the talk is about defending Israel. My students arenât targeted for Zionism. Theyâre targeted for being Jews. They need safety, not talking points.
2) Thereâs nothing here for my students who see swastikas in school. Thereâs nothing here for the kid who was told by a classmate that heâd buy him an âEasy bake ovenâ for Chanukah. Thereâs nothing here for the kid who had money thrown at them and told âpick it up you f***ing Jew.
3) Youâre entitled to defend the actions of the Israeli government. Youâre not entitled to hijack the topic of antisemitism to do so. Itâs an abdication of our responsibility to support and defend our kids who deal with Jew-hatred every day. Itâs a shonde.
4) The state of Israel has an army and a professional staff of PR professionals to defend it. All my students have are fellow Jews and our allies. Donât abandon them.
5) After a desultory reference to Charlottesville, the speaker decried âBlack Lives Matter,â Stephen Jackson, and Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy didnât tell his Instagram followers to âlike and subscribe to kill one Jew.â That was a white kid my students go to school with. [This tweet has a screenshot of an Instagram live with chat messages. The last message is from michael_13_0 and itâs pinned. It says âLike and subscribe to kill one jewâ.]
6) Thing is, I KNOW this stuff is heavily funded by Jewish legacy orgs. And it really is the last thing we need to spend our Jewish dollars on. Thereâs so much we could be doing to support Jewish learning, students, families, elders, queer folks, Jews of Color. Israel PR ainât it.
7) The last straw was when the speaker said we should be protecting Israel-advocating students on campus, not âcounting swastikas in Idaho.â Counting swastikas is EXACTLY what we should be doing. Jews live in Idaho â and Middlesex county â and we need to love and protect them.â

Hello. This is my post. Goyim can touch this, because itâs not only Jews that do this. The cooptitation of antisemitism discourse by pro Israel talking points is something that has been adopted into the discourse of international politics.
