well i wish stalin was MY mom

These past two days, I've received messages asking how I feel as an Armenian toward israel recognizing the Armenian Genocide. I am not so naive as to think israel's ever-dormant conscience suddenly woke up one day and, after decades of actively denying the Armenian Genocide and using its lobbies to prevent U.S. recognition, decided to finally face the truth and "do the right thing". Anyone who is even the least bit aware of global politics can clearly see israel's negative stance toward Armenia and Armenians. Look at how the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem is being treated. israelis defecate and spit at the doors of Armenian churches with no punishment. Only three years ago, israel was actively arming and supporting azerbaijan in its policies of ethnic cleansing in Artsakh. It is clear that israel's recognition of the Armenian Genocide has absolutely nothing to do with Armenians. Nor does it have anything to do with justice or historical truth. So why did they recognize the Armenian Genocide, and why especially now? From what I can see, the first reason is the weaponization of the Armenian Genocide against turkey. It's a common practice; whenever any government (israel has done this before, and so has the U.S.) wants to oppose turkey for one reason or another, the Armenian question is always the first weapon used. The second reason might be the fact that israel wants its own share of the tripp. As you might know, the current self-proclaimed "Armenian" government has sold some of our land to the U.S. under the pretense of "peace and prosperity". The transit routes would pass dangerously close to the Iranian border. I don't think I need to explain why israel would want to have a presence here. How do I feel about it? Not surprised, yet livid all the same. The fact that the country actively involved in committing a genocide is sticking its filthy hands in my people's wounds and using the blood to write its own agenda can evoke only one emotion— rage.

Man who was a Blackwater Mercenary, 3 times Iraq veteran, who served as a guard at Abu Ghraib, one time Afghanistan veteran, who said he loved it, and got a Nazi tattoo to celebrate it, and was accused a couple months ago of sexual assault and abuse - which the Yankee left were cool with and defended - is also a rapist

not allowed to smoke with people anymore because every time i exhale its deathblight

yes. you know what? love this. love you.

from what i've observed, i do think there is some pressure for women in not explicitly feminist leftist circles to affect a kind of "cool girl" posture for the benefit of the men in the movement

We Donbass people must constantly and thoroughly know about every smallest evil deed of Russia, then condemn it, then explain why this doesn’t put our struggle under question, if we want to have at least some chance to bring our case. But I don’t think that most non-Donbass person could name a single one of the names of the children who are burned into our region’s collective memory. Couldn’t say how many of them are buried near the “Unhealing Wound of Donbass” memorial, or name five cities of Donbass. Non-Donbass people can do all this, barely mentioning the ongoing genocide against us and the persecution of Russians in other parts of so-called Ukraine, and the massacre in Kursk region, and still be considered an ally of the Donbass liberation movement, because they reblogged a post by some Egyptian woman about that Ukraine sometimes commits war crimes and Russians are human people. I am so tired of this insincere solidarity. Either wish us death again, or stop reading moralising in our comments and really be with us. Anyway, the Ukrainian fascist project will soon be crushed by Russia and its allies.

A post where a girl from Donetsk who got deleted is screenshotting the words of a woman from Donetsk who “deactivated” reblogged by a teenager from Lugansk who’s account just got terminated as well. Thank you Tumblr!

ok instead of posting i should be writing. or at the very least the job i get paid to do

i wonder how long it is before we get "im using he/him pronouns because im referring to the character before he figured it out" discourse. has that happened yet.

"actually using she/her pronouns is spoilers"
