#Black Martyrs

look. im not saying hakoda is a bad father. he clearly loves his kids a lot and did the best he could in abject conditions. but “being a man is knowing where you’re needed the most” are pretty bold words coming from a man who left his children behind in an extremely precarious environment with no protection or way to defend themselves from the pretty regular raids that their people are subjected to. like, i get that he had to lead the swt into battle as their chief, and also why he wouldn’t wanna stay at the site of his wife’s murder, but none of the men were like “maybe some of us could stand to stay behind to defend our village, i don’t really think this prepubescent kid who lacks support and experience is actually qualified for that job.” and somehow hakoda also managed to phrase that choice to sokka in such a way that fostered a maelstrom of interwoven masculinity, identity, self-esteem, and existential issues that he will never be able to fully disentangle because he idolizes his father far too much to acknowledge that perhaps that time hakoda told him as a child that his manhood is staked to his obligation to die for his sister was actually pretty fucked up. so he’s not exactly father of the year either.

#but to be clear im not saying this is a bad writing choice i think it’s awesome actually #and ive talked before abt how hakoda is not at fault for internalizing self-dehumanizing logic as a colonial subject #but like. poor sokka #if i think abt how fucked up his martyr complex is for too long i black out! #hakoda #sokka #hot takes #hakoda&sokka

A symbol of resistance

Charlemagne Péralte

Charlemagne Péralte was a Haitian resistance leader shot by U.S. forces during the 1915 occupation.

After Péralte's death, U.S. troops displayed his body posed in a way that resembled a crucifixion – tied upright with a Haitian flag draped over him. This photo was intended to intimidate the Haitian population.

However, it backfired. The image resonated with Haitians, making Péralte a martyr and a symbol of resistance. There's even a famous Haitian painting called "The Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Freedom."

Shout out to Robert Rath and Fall of Cadia for making all the space marine characters a) vainglorious idiots b) vainglorious MEGA SUPER idiots or c) so wrapped up in their own personal drama and/or codes of honor that they were functionally useless until it was too late. I think Rath should be the only author allowed to write space marines until GW remembers they are supposed to be deconstructions of fascist military ideals and not superheroes.

#warhammer40k #fall of cadia #that vook really nails the balance between deconstruction and satire and being a good scifi action book #dont get me wrong the space marines kick ass #just...not tactically useful ass #those goddamn black templars and their rock #MARTYR ROCK #hilarious #the fact the dark angels and space wolves can't sit next to each other at a military briefing #rath you get this setting

kinda relevant: i've been seeing weirdos on twitter refer to young Palestinian guys (aged 15-35) as military aged men, trying to imply that all such Palestinian men are potential hamas fighters, and therefore legitimate targets. they are literally hungering for excuses to kill as many Palestinians as possible while evading accountability

#fuck outta here if u think brown/muslim women need to be saved from brown/muslim men #stop falling for us imperialist propaganda that demonizes every brown/muslim man #arab men are not disposable #brown/black men are not disposable #muslim men are not disposable #the killing of any innocent is deplorable whether its a man or a woman or a child #free palestine #palestine #gaza #long live palestine #glory to the martyrs #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #long live the resistance #death to israel

It’s not that I don’t like Rhaenyra it’s just that I find her to be selfish and (sometimes) stupid in opposition to large parts of fandom that refuse to acknowledge these character traits because they don’t fit with their “perfect princess who was usurped for no reason🥺” narrative

#she’s selfish she’s often dumb she wants to violently assert her blood purity dominance over the lords and smallfolk of Westeros alike #I’d be fine with her if we’d just accept her as she is #rhaenyra targaryen #like destroying the country for your children + family + lust for power? #ofc I dig that #my favorite Star Wars character is Anakin 💀 #but fandom can’t hold a complex woman in their heads for anything #so she’s a saint like martyr instead #ugh 🙄🙄🙄 #hotd #anti team black

*taps microphone* This thing on? Okay. Mello as a Saint and Near as his devoted High Priest. Thank you.

#meronia #death note #mello #mihael keehl #near #nate river #post-mello death of course #im imagining near creating a whole ass cult #a new religion based on his personal martyr #he holds mello's rosary between his fingers but prays to the wrong god for forgiveness #idk near dressed in priest black to symbolize mourning and his long white hair symbolizing devotion #that is all. thabk you

another thing opla really does well is highlight what a stupid plan it was for Zeff to try to get the kid he adopted for, among other things, being too damn stubborn to die to discard his misplaced guilt and start his own life by….being a crappy boss

#one piece #one piece live action #red leg zeff #black leg sanji #like ok Zeff has no idea that by dint of Not Imprisonment or Daily Beatings the Baratie is a vast improvement on Sanji’s former situation #but he does know that Sanji… you know….survived being marooned with him….. #and he thinks that being a fucking kitchen nightmare is gonna get Sous Chef Martyr Complex to stop doing what he thinks needs to be done? #also honestly I think la!Sanji might know that Zeff is putting it on—see his speech about “making the hard decisions”

I don't know how to emphasize that just because someone does something wrong, doesn't mean they should die for it.

People trying to justify Nex Benedict's death by saying he threw water at those girls, I don't give a shit, being splashed with water doesn't mean you should beat someone to death, I don't care whether or not Nex started the fight, they shouldn't have died for it.

People trying to justify the police killing Ryan Gainer, multiple cops against one disabled child having a meltdown, if Ryan was charging at one cop the others could've tackled him, not shoot him three times and leave him bleeding out on the ground while they search his house.

Doing something wrong or making a mistake should not end in our deaths.

#ryan gainer #nex benedict #punk #no one is free until we are all free #black lives matter #trans lives matter #social justice #acab #justice for ryan gainer #justice for nex benedict #blm #antiblackness #defund the police #remember the martyrs and fight for the living #hate crime

LOVE that you’re going up for Delainey!!! I’m sad Bailey won’t be back, but i’m curious and I want to feel positive about what Delainey might bring to this and I'm happy its a mix of both here too :).

thank u& of course! i too, was shocked + somewhat saddened at the fact bailey bass could not return. amc took a big gamble + we were lucky to even have her for the episodes we had. w/e that reasoning was for her premature exit is not my line to speculate, but its sad she had to go bc we saw how much she loved her role as claudia. the whole world saw her joy. likewise we should also try to be able to detach our attachment from the depiction of claudia amc introduced to us to from what real people choose to do with themselves. i heard delainey was one of the finalists for claudia, so that alone is a testament to delainey’s own veritable skill as an actress. people should be able to understand that, and certainly not devolve into weeks of mourning as if claudia was already killed off just cuz its not the same actress playing her. i like to make the best of this situation. in this the showrunners made an excellent choice that indicated their awareness of racial/gender contexts and the need for consistency in those aspects. thus, i am excited for what delainey [+the entire team] will bring for season 2.

#yn. #yn answers #iwtv #claudia #delainey hayles #iwtv cast #bailey bass #also im a batshit attack dog & martyr for black women cuz i am a black woman. not sorry

#@anon #You know one of the things that people tend to do but absolutely not in favour of Palestinian resistance and liberation movement is #the condemnation of resilients and freedom fighters #it is really not the pro Palestinian stance #The liberation movement is not a peaceful one #ask the million martyred Algerian to liberated their land from french occupation #The people of Palestine are able to rise against their oppressor and are able to organise and to lead their liberation movement and have #their freedom fighters #USA or any western nation categorizing these resistance mouvements as terrorist its well their own racist shit #In the words of Refaat Alareer may he rest in power: #“Saying Hamas is a tool of Israel is saying the Vietnam fighters were a tool of America The Warsaw ghetto rebels a tool of the Nazis” #Black freedom fighters a tool of the slave owners And the indigenous peoples of America a tool of the European colonisers etc etc #and he was so right #Palestine #gaza #genocide

The galaxy is having tensions between the Inhumans and the Shi'Ar so the Guardians of the Galaxy are sent out on their mission and they are divided into different teams - one is 'Stop the Shi'Ar' Team led by Rocket Raccoon and the other is the 'Negotiate with the Inhumans' team led by Star-Lord.

The Diplomacy team consisted of Star-Lord, Phyla-Vell, Bug, Jack Flag and Gamora. They are sent out to negotiate with the Inhumans and convince them to stop the unnecessary war. Star-Lord's team arrive at the Inhumans' throne room where they tried to negotiate with King Black Bolt and Queen Medusa. Unfortunately for them, the negotiation doesn't go well from Bug's lack of tact towards Queen Medusa and Phyla-Vell's impulsiveness when she took Crystal hostage for a "bargaining chip". Then, this escalates further when they teleport back to Knowhere's control room where the Guardians of the Galaxy are attacked by both the Inhumans and the Shi'Ar. While everyone else are fighting, Star-Lord scolds Phyla-Vell for making the situation worse.

white american liberals love seeing poc as victims who constantly have to beg for a shred of white liberals' attention so they may throw some solidarity our way. the moment we refuse to audition for their sympathy and instead empower ourselves to fight back directly against our oppressors, these same liberals are not so comfortable with the idea of us as victims or innocents - how dare we resist or have our own agency? if a poc takes up a rifle after seeing their entire family be killed, and then is bombed by the killers for fighting back against the killers, then is that poc a victim? oh but how could they be? - they had a gun. the gun becomes our symbol of liberation and hope, not mindless vengeance, but as a means for the destruction of the power structures that our oppressor rests on. stop prefacing your support of poc with condemnations of our resistance. negotiations will never free oppressed people because our oppressors do not have a conscience. you cannot reason with somebody who thinks you are inherently worth less. resistance is the only way forward.

remember that the violence of the oppressed is in no way morally equivalent to the violence of the oppressor. and the oppressed do not have to justify the means of our resistance to the oppressors / the sympathizers of the oppressors.

#white ppl will say some braindead neutral shit like violence is bad !! and think ok enough activism for the day #had to write this after seeing some idiot white man write an article about how resistance movements should be held accountable #like shut the fuck up #people who have never lived in your shoes will tell you what to do in your life. how ridiculous #theyre like oh i wouldnt have dome it like tjat . ok? i would. i am doing it like that #i will never condemn resistance to colonialism and occupation and imperialism #most of all i will never condemn any act of aggression against the terrorist gov of the usa the uk and also the eu #to hell with all the bastards who seek to destroy our people #resistance forever #free palestine #glory to the martyrs #long live the resistance #viva la revolution #black panthers #palestinian resistance #kashmiri resistance #kurdish resistance #baloch resistance #algerian resistance #indian resistance #indigenous resistance #indigenous sovereignty #zapatistas #zapatismo #neo zapatismo
