Both of these resistance groups are a response to Israel's violent occupation and invasions in the region. Hezbollah emerged in 1982 after Israel invaded Lebanon. Hamas was created after the first Intifada in 87.

"Using AI to design flyers looks cheap and tacky" 👍 I completely agree.

"intrinsic gender," on the other hand, is what I used to refer to the sense of the word "gender" that a lot of trans people are talking about when they discuss social gender dysphoria and euphoria. it's the internal sense of category that's resistant to external impositions

but then we also use the word "gender" to refer to subconscious sex, which is the term Julia Serano coins in Whipping Girl to name the phenomenon we're talking about when we talk about bodily dysphoria. it is the "gender" being "affirmed" by gender affirming healthcare like HRT and bottom surgery

1. Most important government sites and base resources by Siwolism

2. Documentaries

3. Debunking common myths by Dr. Suzy Kim. Her book*** (most important resource here for beginners) about the North Korean revolution in 1945-50.

4. Atrocity Fab

5. Historical context about Juche (you can also read more about Juche from the works of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un in naenara)

6. Cities in the DPRK

If you are a beginner, you should check these resources out and make it a priority to get a good understanding of the material conditions leading to and after the Korean War, which is the focal point of Korean history.

Most basic things you should aim to get at least a rudimentary understanding of (Suzy Kim's book is a great resource to learn about most of the historical stuff and present stuff can be learned from kcna and other .kp sites):

Japanese occupation of Korea

Korean resistance. Kim Il Sung came from a family of independence fighters and was a guerrilla leader in the struggle against Japanese imperialism.

Events after Korean de facto independence after the surrender of Japan in 1945.

US Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) & the creation of the colony called ROK. And then soon, the creation of Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Events and Outcomes of Korean War.

Adoption of Juche. Reconstruction. How DPRK became a leader among the third world.

UN sanctions and how they led to the Arduous March.

Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

I’d like to add this photo I took last night in Victoria of the statue of Captain Cook. Though I myself am not indigenous, I 100% agree that these murderers, kidnappers and rapists shouldn’t have huge statues and plaques that decorate them and say how “great” they were.

Here’s another photo of the legislative assembly from yesterday. Later on there were more items, candles and signs at the memorial, as well as a big poster with 1505 painted on it but I didn’t get a picture

People need to see this. Not just quickly glance at the photos and keep on scrolling. They need to see this.

I went to a “Cancel Canada Day” event and burst into tears - not because I was surprised to learn of the unmarked graves (survivors told us they were there. Our government pushed it aside, and we let them), but because seeing all the people gathered in mourning drove it home: They. Were. Children.

This is my country’s legacy - and it’s not history. The last schools closed during my lifetime. My Father went to school with students who lived at the local residential school, after it was changed to a boarding house (read: holding centre) for indigenous youth who went to local schools.

“The notion that people panic and run screaming for the exits is a Hollywood fiction,” said Prof Stephen Reicher, an expert in group behaviour at the University of St Andrews.

“Characteristically, people stay and help each other,” he said. “We found this during the 7/7 attacks on the underground and the 1999 attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in London, where people looked after each other even though they feared other bombs.

“In our own research on the Leytonstone tube attack in 2015, there was an amazing level of spontaneous coordination by bystanders: some directed others away from danger. Some distracted the attacker. Some confronted the attacker. Each was able to act because of the others. Heroism was a feature of the group, not just the individual,” he added.
