today is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima. august 9 is the 81st anniversary of the bombing of nagasaki. please take some time to remember the lives that were destroyed in these senseless attacks. it's also important to remember that there is no limit to what the united states is willing to do to any people it considers an obstacle to its imperial interest and there is no limit to what it will say in attempt to justify these atrocities.

to talk about something more interesting, it seems like a rather giant void of intentionally missing analysis that when white people from USA discuss #diversity in media, they always frame it in a way as if non white people coming to their white majority studios or publishing houses and subserviently begging them for a space is the only way to achieve this. There is never any mention of how it simply isn't a Fact of Nature that their Indigenous reservations or Black and immigrant majority cities don't tend to have have equally strong media economy and it is a result of structural racism. As if it's only natural non white people have to come to their white majority studios to ask for a place. Similar so in imperialized nations, is it simply natural that despite being among the top 10 most populous countries in the world, how often do white usamericans engage with media from Indonesia, Pakistan or Nigeria? They would have you believe these countries didn't have their economies and media sector choked by imperialism, that its only natural that to be able to tell their stories with a fraction of the dignity afforded to white USAmericans, African and Asian people simply have to leave their countries and beg them for a place as immigrants

The natural conclusion here isn't "Therefore they should stop asking for a place and fuck off to their own places" obviously. As long as marginalized people's economies are held back by structural racism and imperialism, those are the only places they can tell their stories with the most structural availability and accommodation must be made. But we must be aware of the fact that the angle which would be the most empowering, marginalized people getting to develop media sectors free from racism and imperialism, not having to beg White imperial corers for a place, is intentionally being obscured and that we must not allow this

what is it with non-chinese communists on here having absolute meltdowns if you criticize the PRCs stances and actions towards palestine? i truly do not understand this. its one thing to attempt to educate people if you feel they are misunderstanding something or missing context for something, but people get so fucking hostile about it. why? im sorry but i actually think its a good thing some people have a kneejerk response against anyone collaborating in any way with israel. surely you can use your brain to understand why people might feel upset about this, rather than using it as an opportunity to stroke your ego over how much more educated you are on global politics?
