or maybe it’s that sexual violence is an especially traumatic, indefensible, & violating form of violence that goyim keep subjecting Jews to, and the fact that Hamas did rape other victims in the massacre makes it a very reasonable fear for a hostage who is completely powerless to have—which runs counter to the bogus narrative that Hamas is engaging in justifiable violent “resistance”
No actually, was anyone gonna say that Zionism is a primarily Jewish movement that started because of how deeply hated Jewish people have been throughout history or was I , a white British woman, meant to just not raise eyebrows at everyone comparing it to Nazism?
(I’m talking about non Jewish people making that comparison to Jewish people and the Zionist movement, not how Israel’s treatment of Palestine is so horrific that holocaust survivors are calling it out to be clear)
If you’re fighting for children’s rights and safety and you’re also fighting to normalise and romanticise child abuse in fiction or real life, you are not fighting for children’s rights.
Children are an oppressed class and the media is used to reinforce oppression and bigoted mindsets against minorities.
Fiction is one of the most powerful tools of propaganda we have. Art can and has changed societies.
If your art is validating bigoted ideologies, you are validating bigoted ideologies.
It might not be real, but your audience is.
It’s fine and helpful to discuss oppression and other upsetting themes in art, but to validate them is a different story.
I shouldn’t be surprised either, but the eagerness the imperials have to hang people chills me too the bone.
Because it’s a control thing. And that imperial officer admitted it. They know Paaks did nothing. They know. But they’re still comfortable taking a life just to “show them who’s boss”.
It’s disgusting. But it’s real. When the empire references Nazi Germany and the KKK at the same time like this, it is made very clear. And I’m glad that the show leans into the historical intentions that were laid out at Star Wars’ inception.
It has never been shown this harshly or directly but it’s good that it does because it doesn’t shy away. This is bold to do. It is sad to see these actions on screen, but they hold weight because the disregard for life mirrors reality in a lot of ways and places. Both past and definitely present.
Thinking about the documentary I watched about the KKK. Thinking about white womanhood and feminism and maintaining the racist status quo by prioritizing white voices in feminism.
Also thinking about how much status one used to receive by being associated with the KKK, at least in certain circles. And how terrifying that is. How fundamental racism is to the foundation of american society.
Idk I feel like I don't have solid concise thoughts but I am also curious to learn more about racism in America and how that impacted black folks.
Jared’s new tattoo reminds me of all those cops that get tattoos with “hidden” meanings when it’s really just a nazi or kkk symbol. Let’s assume it is meant to be a Texas pride tattoo. Idc if you’ve lived in Texas your entire life and love it there now is not really the time to be proud of Texas. They’re one of the most anti-abortion and anti-LBTQ+ states. And couldn’t he just get a map of the state of Texas or something?
Yeah, those are called dogwhistles, most people overlook it but people in the group it's meant for understand it. And yeah there's gotta be more than that one tattoo that he could use for his texas pride
remember when people pointed out the hypocrisy and blatant racism of labeling BLM a terrorist group but not the Klu Klux Klan and a bunch of Totally Not Racist twitter republicans (along with a lot of white liberals) were like “well the kkk isn’t actually doing anything morally wrong these days and don’t even really exist anymore so they Can’t be a terrorist group, it’s not the 1950s anymore” and then a few months later the same Totally Not Racist republicans went “you know what Actually the kkk from the 1950s that lynched hundreds of black people and bombed black churches did nothing morally wrong either and so we should ban/censor all books that label them a terrorist group” bc I sure do
