Clueless

The widespread belief that Argentina represents Israel and Spain represents Palestine is wrong and does not reflect reality.

Spain, as a whole, does not support Palestine. This support does not exist at the team level; rather, it comes more from the individual positions of certain players (such as Lamine Yamal and Borja Iglesias).

The majority of Spanish supporters are not left-wing either. On the contrary, racist circles in Spain can use the national team as a tool against players of immigrant backgrounds. Muslim and immigrant-origin footballers in particular are frequently targeted. This reality is often overlooked because the country's prime minister has shown solidarity with Palestine.

During the tournament, racist circles in Spain repeatedly targeted Lamine Yamal through social media posts and public statements.

The perception of Spain as an extremely left-wing country among the global public is largely influenced by the strong Palestine solidarity movements and left-wing communities in regions such as Euskal Herria, Catalonia, Galicia, and Andalusia. However, a significant portion of the pro-Palestinian population in these regions does not support the Spanish National Team; they advocate for their own national identities and national teams.

Argentina, too, does not support Israel institutionally or at the national team level.

The country's far-right president, Javier Milei, is an open supporter of Israel. zionist circles use this fact to create the impression that there is some deep-rooted and societal alliance between Argentina and Israel.

In reality, there is no strong public support in Argentina for Israel's attacks on Gaza. On the contrary, massive demonstrations in solidarity with Palestine have taken place across the country.

Lionel Messi is not an open supporter of Israel either. When this is pointed out, people usually ask, “So does he support Palestine?” No. Messi is not one of the figures who has publicly taken a side on this issue. Like thousands of other footballers, he prefers not to share his political views publicly.

the Malvinas aren't an "argentina's right's obsession", over 300 young men and dare I say kids died on that war fuck you

"the banner incident" why is a fuck you to british imperialism (which, no, wasn't against the rules because the match had already ended) treated like a display of fascism??? do you know what words mean???

say it with me folks: its! still! racist! to! send! threats! to! argentina! even! if! its! trendy! now!

Some of these documents intersect and have similar resources and links, but I'm adding them just to make sure as they may also have some that aren't listed in this post either.

IDF has started it's invasion of Rafah which is the only way out of Gaza. It has become extremely important to donate to GFMs of Palestinians trying to evacuate Gaza.

BECAUSE ONCE THE PATHWAY TO RAFAH GETS DISMANTLED IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO EVACUATE!

Please donate.

Here are some of the GFMs I trust:

Fadi Sharif: $10,824 raised of $62,500 target (Tumblr Profile)

Mahmoud Qassas: $16,205 raised of $200,000 target (Tumblr Profile)

Ezzideen Shehab: €13,474 raised of €32,500 target (Tumblr Profile)

Heba Almaqdam: €28,137 raised of €60,000 target

Ruba Abushaban: €3,824 raised of €50,000 target (Tumblr Profile)

Don't forget about them now.

Don't forget about them tomorrow.

Don't forget about them in a week from now.

Don't forget about them in a month.

Don't forget them next year.

Don't forget them in 5 years.

When the history books start to update, don't let them put lies in there.

When documentaries come out, boycott the ones who call this a victory for Israel.

When books release talking about soldier's personal experiences with Palestine, remember the victims. Remember the truth.

Don't forget about what we've seen.

Don't forget about what we've heard.

Don't let them tell lies about Palestine.

"Jk Rowling isn't perfect" sure is a weird way to say "Jk rowling is a billionaire using her inconceivable wealth and social capital to fund and support openly white supremacist and anti-trans organisations."

"It's for the fans," except the antisemitic caricatures and storylines in the game (in the very least) excludes Jewish fans.

"It's supporting game Devs." game Devs are not paid by royalties. they're contracted, usually, to develop a game for a one off payment or salary. Game Devs rarely receive royalties or profit from sales., one of the many reasons the industry is experiencing one of the largest unionisation movements in history. Avalanche Software, the company behind Hogwarts Legacy, is currently not unionised which means the developers will not receive a cent made from sales of the game.

"the money isn't even going to her anyway". babe, copyright and licensing laws dictate that ANYTHING using official Harry Potter concepts on a mass scale for profit must pay a licensing fee to JK Rowling because she is the copyright holder. Unless you are buying hp related stuff second hand or fan made, you are putting money back into JKs pocket.

Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).

But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.

This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.

I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.

If this shit passes, lemme tell you...

LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,

people looking for abortions,

people organizing protests,

anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices, 

even FAN ARTISTS...

Even people reading fan fiction...

And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...

It's all gone. No privacy.

They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.

You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍

Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.

I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.

I'm shy, but I did it!

Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.

Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.

Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.

(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)

so a huge list of artists that was used to train midjourney’s model got leaked and i’m on it

literally there is no reason to support AI generators, they can’t ethically exist. my art has been used to train every single major one without consent lmfao 🤪

@staff turned off replies on their post about AI implementation. They’re dropping this on us, plugging their ears, and looking the other way and we can’t even tell them how we feel. That’s unacceptable.

This is a suggestion box that the Tumblr Staff themselves have set up. Let’s use it.

Tell them exactly how you feel about this new AI generation- its effects on the artist and writer communities, the blatant theft of our hard work and opportunities, the saturation of online feeds with these soulless, misshapen images and unintelligible writing. Express that disappointment, sadness, fear, and anger. They need to know.

And!! I haven’t see anything about using just art and images to train their AI generators. Writing is probably also fair game!! Everyone who posts on this site is affected by this!

Select the category “Feedback” and “New Features” and let the people in charge here know exactly how we feel about being automatically opted in to train AI generators with our creations.

Yes, you are opted into this by default!! If you still need to turn off third party sharing for your blog, Here is a quick guide on how to opt out of training AI with your blog’s creations. It’s just a hidden switch to flip in your Settings menu.

you have to MANUALLY opt out of it as well.

to opt out on desktop, click your blog ➡️ blog settings ➡️ scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle.

to opt out on mobile, click your blog ➡️ scroll then click visibility ➡️ toggle opt out option.
