tumblr heritage posts

this is a comic my dear friend @wolf-aid had made using batman both because he’s a very dear character to me and because we are hoping that a popular character will bring more attention to the comic itself.

the comic says most of what i can say already — but i’ll say it again. ibrahim is an incredibly sweet young man who i’ve been close friends with for a few months now. he and his family need help to be warm, to eat, to get medicine, and to survive — hopefully soon they can escape their awful circumstances.

actually here I'll just drop a screenshot

I want you try to envision that number. The population of the DPRK in 1954 is cited by various Western sources as being between 7.7 million - 10.2 million, however more contemporary sources seem to lean towards the larger number (7.7 million was estimated by the CIA in 1954)

If we say 10 million people, with 1.5 million casualties. That's 15% of the post-war population. 15%. That's a little more frequent than 1 in 7. Imagine one out of every 7 people you know being killed. This study estimates that the median individual has a social network of about 470 people. Rounding down, 15% of that is 70 people. Imagine 70 people out of everyone you know personally being killed. 15% is massive. It's a genuinely sickening and horrific figure.

In comparison, in WWII, according to Wikipedia the UK had a casualty rate of .94% of their 1939 population, and the USSR had a casualty rate closer with 13.7% of their 1940 population.

The United States is a hulking behemoth of death and cruelty and genocide. It is a machine dedicated to one thing, which is the extraction of power and profit at the cost of any amount of human life. Like all bourgeois imperialist powers, it is a mechanism for the transmutation of innocent human life directly into political-economic power.

This campaign has sustained nour and her family since it began, and she still needs all the help she can get. She and her young children are constantly sick from the conditions they live in, and always struggling to find and afford food. On top of that, tumblr has targeted her, every account she makes has her capability to send messages turned off, so she can’t communicate with many of the people who were trying to help her.

The armed terrorists of the Syrian opposition "Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham" continue their media campaign to present their formerly ISIS- and Al-Qaeda-affiliated selves as reformed and "open to change," which the western media parrots without question. HTS leader Abu Mohammed Al-Julani is now presented as giving up his head-slicing ways under a black flag in favor of a tailored olive military outfit, palatable to the west. Remarkably, Al-Julani, despite being among the world's most abominable terrorists, was freely given an interview in CNN today, where his "changed" views were platformed, glossing over his history as an ISIS leader in Iraq and Syria.

Al-Julani, in a message to Iraq a few days ago, manipulated language to serve the Western agenda, speaking about "Iran's wars against the region," referring to the Gaza genocide and "israel's" war on Lebanon, without naming the executor at all. This is a calculated rhetoric that aligns fully with the agenda of his Western and zionist backers which seek to fracture the resistance in the region.

In an interview with zionist media today, an FSA officer openly admitted that their only enemies are the Syrian state, Hezbollah, and Iran - not the settler-colonial and expansionist tumor in the region called "israel." Far from even pretending to condemn the occupation, he expressed willingness to be friendly with the genocidal entity, mirroring what was told to zionist analyst Mordechai Kadar, that opposition groups want increased support and weapons from "israel." He added that they are "thankful to 'israel' for strikes against Hezbollah." This is no surprise, as opposition groups have repeatedly been documented expressing thanks to Netanyahu and celebrating assassinations of resistance figures, even through Al-Aqsa Flood. As quoted, the opposition's sole goal is overthrowing the Syrian state; they seek to normalize with "israel" and even requested "'israeli' and American aid for reconstruction," which would only make Syria more dependent (Note: the Syrian state owes $0 to the World Bank today).

The Syrian opposition has deceived the West, as well as some Arabs, that they are virtuous humanitarians fighting for the Syrian people. In reality, they are pawns in the destabilization the region, aiming to break the link of resistance, and serve "israel" with their actions. By Al-Julani's own admission, over 30% of their ranks consist of foreign mercenaries, far from the "grassroots" movement they aim to represent, while their operations are shaped and funded by Turkey and the West.

Despite the sanitized picture they try to sell the western media today, horrific stories of executions, robberies, siege have emerged from towns that have been taken over in the last week. Despite the attempt at covering up these stories, their true colors shine through by their actions, as well the occasional ISIS patches they forget to hide on their uniforms.

Today i will talk about one of his sisters' family.

Dina and her husband, Mohammed, have 3 young children. Dina had another baby on the way. Dina already had a condition called preeclampsia and then the genocide made it so that the baby born prematurely earlier this year died. This was yet another tragedy that she and her family had to endure.

Mohammed and their thirteen year old son were captured by the IOF. They were subjected to a month of physical and psychologial torture, which, after their release, have left them severely traumatised.

One of their sons, as many other people in Gaza, has developed hepatitis due to the lack of food and clean water.

Through all this, Dina's family is still facing genocide. Their security depends on your donations! Winter is coming and they only have a tent to take shelter in. There's no food or clean water. They desperately need access to medicine which is already very expensive and barely affordable.

Their fundraiser has been set up in June 12th, 2024. So far they have raised €2,498 out of the €60K goal. There's only been one donation in the past 7 DAYS. PLEASE DONT HESITATE TO DONATE

There's nothing wrong with being anti-Assad. It's not a matter of whether one is being pro/anti-Assad. Assad wasn't "good", he was terrible and made decisions that would make anyone hate him and nobody can deny that. It's a simple application of materialism in which we can analyse the situation and what would be the best outcome, and there is no doubt that once the Sunni majority and the other rebel factions have finished celebrating, there are other issues they're gonna have to face. You got a fundamentalist group of Sunni Muslims that aspire to establish an Islamic state and a minority of secularists that wishes to establish a democratic state, this is not gonna end in a simple compromise. No religious minority in Syria is hopeful of these developments, they're the only ones who are scared.
