#i can support the protests

[rogueddie]

Unfriendly reminder that quite a few members of the stranger things cast and crew have been openly supportive of Israel and the murder of thousands of innocent people. A few pr statements to try and appease fans for no reason other than making more money does not change anything!

Do not support stranger things! Cancel your netflix subscription! Do not stream season five! Do not buy official merch!

DO NOT SUPPORT ZIONISM AND THE ONGOING GENOCIDE! FREE PALESTINE!

#stranger things #genuinely going to start blocking people if I see them promoting or supporting st financially #I've already left that one group bc they were promoting merch #it's just... I don't understand how some of y'all can do that and not feel disgusted with yourselves #it feels like a lot y'all either don't care or have gotten bored #or worse; you care more about your comfort and enjoyment of a fucking show than the millions living in Gaza #I am giving y'all the nastiest side eyes #I do think you can still be in the st fandom and support palestine- obviously look at me- but you have to SUPPORT PALESTINE! ACTIVELY! #BOYCOTT! SPREAD INFORMATION! DONATE! CLICK THE ARAB.ORG BUTTON! PROTEST! MESSAGE YOUR LOCAL OFFICIALS! DEMAND A BETTER WORLD FOR PALESTINE!

reminder that you can email congress for a ceasefire here and the white house here. don't forget to mention/also email about us government ending funding to israel and sanctioning them, and holding them accountable for war crimes, but the immediate need right now is a ceasefire. there are other online writing actions on the first link including calling the white house

#don't forget to protest in person if you can #support or participate in direct action at palestineaction.org #try to learn and educate those around you #keep up with what's going on in palestine #follow palestinians on the ground and middle eastern news sources that are covering what's happening like al jazeera #i've seen some good stuff from democracy now that i haven't seen anyone else covering as well #like they brought a jim crow scholar who'd been to the occupied territories to discuss apartheid in israel which might be educational for #those learning. but don't forget the ceasefire #don't forget to keep informed and updated #palestine #actions

i hate tiktok i hate the internet i hate our society’s obsession with labelling people this is so fucked

#ppl acting like he was so helpless and he could’ve been saved if he knew trans women existed #girl he knew!!! he actively supported queer identities !!!! he wore dresses in protest AND because he wanted to #like you can wear a dress as a man and not explain yourself. you can exist outside of labels. you can also just be a guy in a dress #like are we really assigning genders of other ppl based on their clothes.. i rlly thought we’d moved past this shit 😵‍💫

Something that does genuinely concern me is the possibility of the Duffer’s being a major conflict of interest when it comes to supporting the strike out in the open. They’re not just writers but also producers and the show runners. Arguably they have the tightest relationship of any production to Netflix, and so just knowing that they’ve always been very much intertwined, are they going to be willing to voice their support for the strike, beyond just being WGA members who likely voted in support of the strike? Like even the cast, complete silence. I know that it can be hard for a lot of reasons, but the complete silence, besides that one writer who posted about it, has me side eying the situation as it’s unfolding.

For the last few Friday’s, they’ve been active posting about stuff, and so are they going to keep that going by posting today, hopefully something to agknowledge the strike, or are they going to just act like nothing is going on and carry on with Easter egg like content? Or worse, are they not going to post at all and so we won’t even know what to think?

It’s just so weird bc they’ve known about this strike for months now. They’ve known about it when they’ve been stringing fans along with little things over the last month. And now, silence, at a time when silence is not the best choice, especially when they are the hugest show in television rn. The duffers coming out and saying something about putting pressure on Netflix would actually have the capacity to get something to happen, and yet they don’t… and it makes me think they’re a conflict of interest bc unlike their writers, they get paid A LOT!

And when it comes to filming starting, I’m concerned that just because they have the first few scripts written and finalized, the Duffers are just gonna say fuck the strike go through with it and start the production for those earlier episodes, either without any writers present bc they’re on strike and so no rewrites, meaning we’re risking the quality not being as good as it would be with them. Or worse, the Duffers are gonna go cross picket lines and scab, and rewrite the scenes themselves essentially going against the strike and their own writers to side with the studios that want it done…

Like I want Stranger Things filmed as soon as possible, I really do. But I also am a little bit unsettled by s5 being soured just knowing they chose a route that sided with corporations and not the writers getting paid mf crap while they are in Netflix’s pockets.

Even though I’m skeptical, I’m still hopeful that they’ll say something, maybe the st writers Twitter will make a statement for all the writers, including the duffers to show their support. But just considering how quiet it’s been, I do wonder how they view the situation.

Do they think it will be over at any moment, without their interference and so they’re just waiting for that? Are they genuinely being advised to say nothing, including the cast and so that’s going to be the case until this is over (if it’s even over any time soon).

Like wtfff is going on in their brains I need to know what they’re thinking about all of this.

Bc them being silent all throughout or even worse doing the exact opposite of supporting the strike by literally starting filming anyways against all of their writers best interests, would be the worst possible course of action. The final season won’t be remembered for all the love and dedication put into it, it’ll be remembered for the greed. And that pisses me off bc the writers don’t deserve that! This is their baby and they’re literally out here risking it all to have a live-able wage, only to be undermined at the risk of everything. It fucking sucks.

#byler #stranger things #writers strike #st writers #duffer brothers #pls st writers Twitter post blatant writers strike solidarity today I swear to god #literally the duffers could protest #the cast could show their support or even protest #and we’d all be going above and beyond to pressure Netflix and other streamers to pay their fair share to writers #but they’re just silent #and so all we’re left doing is going #‘ughh when is s5!? I hope this doesn’t affect s4! I can’t handle any more delays! the cast is gonna be old by the time it airs!!’ #and it’s just all so misguided #these ppl making the show we love can barely afford to make a fucking living #ppl involved with the show make millions and have a huge audience that could make a difference #and it just saddens me that they’re probably being told they can’t #and so they’re just staying quiet to protect themselves and their livelihood #it’s obviously not all black and white #it’s complex #but the sooner more people in power step up #the sooner it will be over #the longer they stay silent #who tf knows how long this will go on

hey quick question how do you have Shah Rukh up for Best Actor in the Filmfares this year TWICE (once for Dunki, once for Jawan) and then do a 180 and pick Ranbir bc he starred in Animal and that f*cker literally just dropped in let me see. December or some sh*t like that. what kind of advanced era of nepotism has Bollywood entered into

#shah rukh khan #srk #ranbir kapoor #filmfare awards #bollywood #i mean. Vicky won supporting actor for Dunki that's great ig but what the f*ck actually. what do you mean Ranbir for best actor #for Animal does Shah Rukh and his dual roles and his ability to emote past the CGI mean nothing to you. are you f*ckers insane #i wouldn't be so mad if Ranveer had won instead for RARKPK. Alia won for Best Actress (ok. Deepika or Rani or Taapsee would have #been my choice but ok.) so Ranveer could have gotten something but no. Ranbir. manchild of the industry. for Animal. that misogynistic #train wreck of a film #and it gets worse. Pritam best music director for Animal. (Jawan and Dunki and Pathaan scream out in protest) #Bhupinder Babbal for best playback singer for Animal. (to be fair Arjun Vailly is a strong contender but Sonu and Dunki were robbed) #at least Shilpa and Besharam Rang came through for Pathaan in best female playback singer but i cannot comprehend the #popular choice awards for anything else. insane insane INSANE behavior that's all i can say

[jilyandbambi]

the ceasefire would still be on rivht at this moment had Hamas not broken it with the terrorist attack in Jerusalem and by repeatedly reneging on its agreement to release Israeli hostages.

#no amount of protesting is gonna get Israel to agree to another ceasefire #most of them are probably dead. hence why Hamas only released 80 so far #all they had to do was release hostages and that would've kept the ceasefire going #and Gazans safe #but no. they decided to start firing rockets and claim responsibility for a mass shooting instead #so i want you absolute ghouls to stop calling them freedom fighters or a resostance group #they don't even give a fuck about keeping their own people--the ones you THINK they're fighting for--alive & safe #i don't rb a lot of stuff abt this bc a lot of it is filled with disinformation #or biased in a way that makes Israel out to be the aggressor #ignoring the fact that before Oct 7 THEY WERE IN A CEASEFIRE that Hamas then broke #no other country in the world would tolerate a terrorist group abducting 240 citizens following a pogrom #you can hate war. you can hate the IDF. you can hate Bibi. by all means #support the innocent gazans and palestinians in the WB bearing the brunt of this war #but if your answer to the question of What should Israel have done in response to Oct 7? is Nothing #you're not a seruous person #me.txt

[willowchild]

Nah it's the way you guys are more mad about someone handing out stickers saying hamas is Isis and Zionism is sexy than you are at hamas and it's supporters

#hamas is isis & zionism is sexy. like get a grip. zionism can mean a lot of things. probs most of jews r zionists. u gonna cancel all of us? #just watch. the “i go to protests with people who support hamas” “hamas isn't that bad” gang is gonna call noah murderous n genocidal #it speaks #israel #gaza #Palestine #noah schnapp

[vamputer]

50 years from now, 100 years from now, the newer generation will ask how we could just sit by and allow a genocide of such magnitude to happen right in front of us, and no one will have an answer for them.

every single person supporting the rogue terrorist state of Israel is another brick in the wall that prevents us from putting a stop to this.

#palestine genocide #palestine #free palestine #free gaza #israel is an apartheid state #it feels so bleak. it feels like nothing if working #because the rich and powerful who back israel can afford to ignore our protests and boycotts #thats why we need to be seriously dedicated in our boycotts. dont support those companies no matter WHAT. #no matter how many years from now i will never fathom how we have allowed them to continue on for this long. never. #vernposting

Support For Palestine - No $$$ Needed!

Firstly, I highly recommend This Site, That Will Donate With One Click! (Seriously, no signing up, no inputing information, no costs, just press the button, I used it myself and you can revisit it every 24 hrs! So try to bookmark it or keep the tab open!)

And secondly, I recommend contacting your representatives in government and advocating for the millions of innocents currently facing danger in the Gaza Strip.

Joseph Biden, in a recent address, acknowledged that the "overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas". I believe this time, right now, is our chance to try and break through our decades long, wrongfully given, support of the Ethnic Cleansing of the Gaza Strip. So I urge you, anyone with even just the time to spare, to try. Plead. Demand. At the worst, you tried and lost a little bit of time. At the best... maybe some people don't die.

So, I wrote a twt thread with instructions/advice for American Residents to reach out to their local representatives as simply, easily, and quickly as possible, and I wanted to share that same info here. I promise I only wants a few minutes of your time.

You can use this White House Contact Page to send one message to Biden and another to Harris. Just fill in your info and you can either write your own message, or feel free to copy and paste mine (it'll be at the bottom of this post)! The focus is first demanding that the US withdraws its support of the Israeli State.

Next, you can use this Common Cause page and instantly get all the information to reach out to your local representatives, it even tells you which committees they sit on! Just put in your address and it'll use that to find which jurisdictions you're in and provide links to all their contact pages. Again, fill in your info, some of mine also required a Topic, so I selected either "Foreign Relations/Affairs" or "Civil Rights and Humanities" and put in my message.

I clicked through all of mine, sent in my messages, used the exact same ones for all of them, only adding an additional note for my most direct representative as I grew up in the same town and wanted to express that to hopefully assist in drawing on his humanity, and it only took me about 30 minutes to get through.

Personally, I wanted to scream and rage and throw my whole beating angry heart at them and their gross, racist bigotry that allowed them to not only neglect the issue of the Israeli Occupation, but fund it. The US has been aiding Israel in their ceaselessly cruel genocide against the Palestinian people, and I'm sure it lights a white-hot fury in many of us. But, I wrote this plea with as much restraint and grace as I could bring myself to allow, if only for the sake of them possibly listening instead of tuning it out.

My statement -

Subject : We Cannot Support a Genocidal Ethnic Cleansing

To the Office of  _________ - 

I am pleading with the governing powers in place to help the people of Palestine. The government in Israel has said not only with their actions, by committing multitudes of War Crimes and breaking the Geneva Convention repeatedly, but even in their own words that they intend to entirely decimate and wipe out the citizens of Gaza. They have already killed and injured thousands in only these last few days - to say nothing of the past 7 decades they have spent doing the very same - and this devastation is a human rights violation like something we have never seen to this degree being supported and under-reported. Especially by the American Government, which has always held its citizens to the belief that they are a good and just organization that stands for humanity wherever it can. 

We have already lost so many innocents in Palestine, but there are still so many that can be spared and saved if our government can withdraw its support of the Israeli Occupation. If they can inform their citizens of the truth that has been happening for so, so very long.

The U.S. has been wrong in its history of supporting and ignoring the cruelty that has been taking place for so long. But only by righting ourselves, by admitting and accepting that the financial aid we've sent has, at this point, become a sunken investment without the extermination of the Palestinian people. It hurts to lose so much money, it hurts to admit we've been on the wrong side of history, but the only way to stop the damage from growing exponentially worse, is to address it honestly now. 

This is not about Judaism. This is not about Jewish people by ethnicity or religious affiliation. This is not about Nazism or Antisemitism.

This is about the colonizing power of the IDF that has been ignored and allowed for almost a century.

Please. Try to save some of them before it's too late.

This comes from a concerned citizen who is feeling extremely devastated by the state of things currently. 

As a human being, who I hope cares for the lives of fellow human beings, we cannot allow this to happen. Least of all with our seal of approval.

The part of the Zionists rhetoric I've seen online especially here on tumblr that really... not so much confuses or disturbs me because every part of supporting racism and genocide is disturbing, but the part that makes me nauseous in a very specific way, is how many of these people claim to be leftists. Not the Israeli government or the majority of Zionists obviously, they're proud racist right wingers. But here on tumblr you have people who believe in feminism and queer rights and would agree easily enough with surface level takes on how racism in America is bad. And when it comes to conservatives and red fascists they can easily tell when a right wing racist or homophobe is arguing in bad faith, they can make long posts explaining the harm behind terf rhetoric and how it differs from the actual fight for women's liberation. They can look at the Russia and Ukraine conflict and use critical thinking to call out bad actors with ease.

But then with Israel and Palestine they just... Flip. All the bad faith arguments they criticised before is now their modus operandi. They ignore the ongoing genocide and the Palestinians talking about it and focus on the oppressors, only reblogging the same one or two Palestinian voices once every now and then that say everything they want to hear and nothing more.

I think the most striking example is that "antisemitism bingo" someone made where the ongoing genocide was something to be laughed at and the blog made fun of Palestinian civilians being tortured. And yet when a blocklist went around of people who interacted with that ghoulish blog, clearly explaining why we should avoid them, (Hijt:The racism and dehumanisation of Palestinians) these "leftist zionists" immediately were like "Oh its a block list of Jewish blogs! It's only blocking us because we're Jewish!"

Like it's the most bad faith easily disproven illogical argument that every random 4chan troll can make. It's not my actions it's because I'm white! It's not my homophobic remarks it's because I'm straight!

I still struggle to understand how they're able to flip so easily from intelligent historical and societal discussions of oppression and intersectionality to denial of the Nakba, denial of the apartheid and racism that has ruled the Israeli state since its conception, denial of the Israeli terrorism and colonisation ongoing in the West Bank that Palestinians have been speaking up about for years (The save Sheikh Jarrah campaign and the murder of peaceful Palestinian activists predates October 7th by quite a bit and yet received far, far less coverage by western media) and denial of everything the government and soldiers and many citizens are currently doing to murder as many Palestinians as possible. How do you go from pointing out cult tactics to a Maga style tribalism enthusiast just because it's Palestinians being oppressed and not another group?

The only reason I can think of is that unlike say, white people or straight people, zionists DO have an understandable, real fear that they can use to promote their racist cult. Antisemitism exists worldwide and is a problem in every single country. Unlike ridiculous concepts like "white genocide" or misandry, there is grounded, factual and understandable reasons for Jewish people to want a community where they can feel safe. And anyone who truly cares about equality for all must be committed to stamping out and dismantling antisemitism in every country and neighbourhood, because Zionists sure as hell aren't. The more antisemitism exists the greater their fuel for justifying and promoting Israel as the One True answer to it all.

But the solution of Israel involved ethnic cleansing in order to built their majority Jewish state, and relies on racism and genocide to maintain it. Just like any other coloniser state, it's not sustainabile and is constantly spiralling towards fascism. (America currently contending for loudest spiral) And that is obvious to anyone who reads up on the history or just like. Talks to Palestinians for five seconds. Israel exists due to racism and dehumanisation of Palestinians, and anyone who considers that an acceptable sacrifice is blatantly morally bankrupt. But the tribalism is simply too strong for that sort of logic and understanding, and whatever reasons they may have for falling into Zionism, it's still unacceptable. If you're still on here talking about "demonising Israel and exaggerating genocide (for the woke agenda, is what they're two steps away from saying) then I have no sympathy or time for you. One day you will be forced to reckon with your cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance, and the self righteous racist narrative you cling to will no longer be enough to protect you from judgement. Normal people with their morals screwed on right don't support fascism and racism. Leftists sure as hell shouldn't support facism and racism. (And yes this goes for those who defend Russian and Chinese imperialism too.)

You talk about feeling isolated, about having no one but fellow zionists to rely on. No one else will accept how complicated the situation is, you say over the sound of ten thousand murdered children killed and celebrated by the fascists you're carrying water for. Everyone else is just too antisemitic! You say as the Israeli government and military celebrates Hannukah by bombing Palestinians and joking that they're lighting one of the candles.

I genuinely can't tell if these people are aware they're full of shit or just so scared that they've dived deep into cult mentality with zero critical thought allowed. But either way, there should be no more space for them in our community than a nazi, a homophobe or a Trump supporter. They may have parroted similar ideals of equality and justice for long enough, but when push came to shove and the issues began to hit too close to home, they decided that supporting facism is how they want to cope. So be it. Palestine will be free with or without them and I will mourn the intelligent principled people they could have been, but at the end of the day you have to draw the line somewhere. And supporting genocide is generally a solid line to go with.

#What I've learned in recent months that's quite depressing #Is that many American liberals consider racism an acceptable evil the way they don't consider feminism or homophobia #If Biden adopted and increased Trump's misogynistic policies while being actually good on all the current racist ones #I sincerely doubt that people would be fanatically attacking anyone who criticises him the way they are now #Those that suffer due to both parties racism simply has to suck it up and wait their turn for a good candidate #Vote for the guy who will protect me and people like me even though he's supporting and funding the fascists killing your family #Is not a position I thought liberals would ever be in #And adding “I know it sucks but it's the only way” doesn't actually make it better because OK. So what do you actually propose to help? #Because protesting the current president complicit in the genocide is apparently a no no. Even if you'll vote him over Trump #Idk man all I know is I'm grateful for the people around me with principals and morals who can see everyone as people #And not just those similar enough to them.

[urostakako]

what the hell is the point of a protest if it doesnt cause a disruption be so fr america is such a joke

#'we support protests! just do it somewhere no one can see and if you do it even there youll still probably get arrested' #i want to scream #hanancouldyounot

[crypticarchivist]

To anyone who follows me and is thinking of not voting in protest of the genocide in Gaza.

I understand. I do. It’s fucking monstrous. But as fucked up as it is to say it, all those problems you were hearing about before Gaza are still around.

The anti-trans legislation, the book banning, the attacks on abortion rights and other forms of uterine healthcare, the repeated attacks on democracy, the orange guy with a slavishly loyal christo-fascist voter base who literally keeps saying he’s going to turn dictator *day one* and lock up his political opponents and lgbtq+ people in camps if he ever gets re-elected. The same orange guy who has tried to overthrow legal elections in the past. The same orange guy who is absolutely going to turn the genocide from bad to worse and has explicitly said he will.

All that shit.

Still exists.

The far right didn’t take a vacation or time out while people were justifiably worried about Israel’s genocide in Gaza. They’re not taking a time out while people are *still* justifiably worried about Gaza.

You can *still* worry about the people of Gaza. You don’t need my permission but I’m still saying you can just to clarify that I’m not telling you to ignore the deaths.

But please. PLEASE.

Do not get tunnel vision.

Not voting. Does not. Hurt Joe Biden.

Not voting. Does not. Help Palestine.

Not voting. Is exactly. What the leader of Israel, Trump, and literally every fascist in this country wants leftists doing.

Some people will need to ask themselves if maintaining a personal sense of moral purity is more important than preventing the country with the biggest military budget on the planet from making a full backslide into theocratic fascism.

#vote #please vote #it can get worse #voting is a chess move not a valentine #nothing is stopping you from keeping a self-professed aspirational dictator out of office AND protesting the genocide at the same time #do not accuse me of being a liberal #do not accuse me of mindlessly supporting Joe Biden #if you refuse to believe that I have legitimate reasons for believing you should vote #and instead think I am just a toady who mindlessly supports the democratic party #just block me instead of debating me #I’m honestly starting to hate fucking tankies

[menalez]

so ur argument is that “arabs” are currently risking their lives while living under dictatorships that have normalised relations with israel to protest for palestinians because *checks notes* they just hate jewish ppl?

ur argument is that “arab countries” fought israel in the 1960s as a result of israel’s hostilities against palestinians bc they just. hate jewish ppl?

ur argument is that “arab countries” which had hundreds of thousands of jewish ppl for thousands of years just woke up coincidentally the same time israel came to exist, the same time as the nakba, and suddenly expressed their hatred of jewish ppl despite coexisting with jewish ppl for centuries in a way europeans were unable to?

if u want to argue “arabs” hate each other, i can at least agree with that but to claim “arabs” hate palestinians bc palestinians r just so evil but hate jewish ppl more & therefore support palestine.. u just sound like an idiot to me.

the way zionists oversimplify the middle east & middle eastern history is genuinely insane. the way they utilise the same argument points antisemites made to justify antisemitism is insane. where else did i hear the argument that a certain population is evil, manipulative, sly and criminal and tricks others into feeling sympathy for them but no population genuinely likes them bc they’re just so sly and evil? oh.. wait yeah that’s literally what antisemites say about jewish people to justify & normalise antisemitism. and here zionists are using these same arguments to dehumanise palestinians & normalise hatred against them as somehow factual.

#don’t get me wrong antisemitism did exist in the 1900s in the middle east #and it does exist even more prominently today #but to reduce caring for palestinians as simply being out of a hatred of jewish ppl #is just. vile + stupid + tonedeaf + ignorant #there absolutely are antisemites who only support palestine bc they hate jewish ppl. but #i have not once met a middle eastern person who only supports palestinians bc they hate jews. not once #the ones that are actual activists fighting for palestine are more supportive of jewish ppl than the middle easterners #who don’t care for israel nor palestine. i’ve met more antisemitic ppl who don’t care for the conflict #than i have met activists for palestine that hate jewish ppl #and i know this bc i’ve sat in many social gatherings where there were several jewish ppl (some even israeli!!) & several palestinians #& several pro-palestine activists. and they’ve all been normal to each other #i’ve been to pro-palestine protests where jewish ppl stood alongside me and jewish ppl were treated with respect #i’ve literally seen more than enough evidence throughout my life to know that’s just racist bs #middle eastern people can actually have values and care for things btw. we aren’t just led by hatred like u want to pretend.

autistic people are expected to just... stop having symptoms For The Greater Good™️ all the time and get treated like bigots and warmongers if they dont magically stop being disabled to further a cause. some autistic people can do some things, some people cant do those so they do other things to help instead. but its considered "good" and "morally correct" in leftist circles online to harass MENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE for not simply no longer dealing with what comes along w their disability when it damages others. sorry, not sorry but ill do everything that i can to support causes i care about, and the operative part of that statement is "THAT I CAN". other autistic ppl can do without their safe foods? great, i cant. other autistic people are good at taking social queues and understanding how to discuss sensitive topics? cool, most of us cant. weve become so "uwu are u also neurodivergent uwu?? heres my hyperfixationstimmingspecialinterestoverstimulationcore pronoun set!! self diagnosis from tiktok is valid" that weve forgotten autism is a serious mental disability that prevents most of us from working and lots of us from ever living on our own. get ur head out of ur ass and eat a bag of razor blades if you think disabled people owe you death and suffering. we are doing what we can.

#this is about multiple situations going on rn #people will hear a mentally disabled persone xpress that they cant contribute in one way #and ask how they can help in others #and be called selfish and told to kill themselves #'its easy to boycott XYZ' #'its easy to be more sensitive about xyz' #to YOU. #i have a real and serious mental disability that prevents me from basic functioning #when autistic people ask for understanding we dont mean #'self identify as neurospicy uwu because u have anxiety' #or 'use tone tags in ur memes and scream at people with puzzle piece liscense plates' #we mean understand that we are disabled #and that we cannot do what you can. #my inability to support causes i care about in the same ways as you doesnt negate that im human #a disabled person not being able to protest as hard as you isnt an invitation to preach borderline eugenics
