This blog is for hyper fixations and shipping and meta, but above all its for analyzing storytelling.
Just finished reading The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates which is also about storytelling
Storytelling humanizes
A good story haunts
Nationalistic storytelling justifies dehumanization, like chattel slavery
Nationalistic storytelling leveraged to "pursue justice" on behalf of oppressed people also justifies dehumanization, like the "right to defend"
To dehumanize means to deny a voice and a right to a persons own story, to make the truth "complicated"
One year into the genocide of Palestinians, on the website that loves storytelling, I hope we all have learned to be critical of nationalistic storytelling and open to hearing the stories and truths of Palestinians who are sharing their lived reality with us.
End the occupation. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free ππ΅πΈ
Be kind and generous to the Palestinians on this site.
