Is North Korea actually bad
It is not what you have been told it is. There are many bad things about the government of North Korea, there are many bad things about those running it, but it is not what you have been told it is.

Me: Hey, mom. Did you know that people online are calling Israel a colonial and apartheid state?
My mom who has a degree in world history and has been teaching it for over twenty years:

There was never going to be any form of Jewish self defense that the world would deem acceptable, and there was never going to be any act of anti-Jewish terrorism that the world would deem unacceptable.
There is nothing Israel could ever do to defend itself that wouldn’t be accused of going too far, of being “way beyond self defense.” There is no method of Israeli self defense that wouldn’t be maligned as “genocide.”
Inversely, there is no atrocity that could ever be committed against Jews that wouldn’t be denied/excused/justified. There is no level of violence against Jews, however gruesome, however blatant in its goal of genocide and targeting innocents, however many children and babies are burned alive and kidnapped, that wouldn’t be justified as “resistance,” as something that the Jews must have provoked, as the very least that Jews deserve, as something that the terrorists were driven to and couldn’t possibly be expected not to do.
No act of violence against Jews was ever not going to be called “resistance,” and no response from Israel was ever not going to be called a “genocide.”
The only Jewish country in the world was never not going to be maligned as the worst country in the world.
For fuck’s sake, use some critical thinking skills.

Some Granny Weatherwax propaganda:
- Literally lives in the village of Bad Ass.
- Was bitten by some vampires once; they all started craving tea and cookies.
- Intimidated Death into losing a card game against her.
- Had a staring match against the sun, for multiple hours; only stopped because she heard a child crying.
- Always knows who and where she is.
- Grabbed a sword by the blade and 'didn't have time to get cut by it'
- Set a voodoo doll of herself on fire by sticking her hand into a torch.
- Did not run with the bulls; forced them to run away instead.
Bonus Nanny Ogg Propaganda:
- Rules the Ogg clan with an iron fist
- Brews her own alcohol strong enough to dissolve metal
- Can crack coconuts with her thighs
- Rumored to be even smarter than Granny Weatherwax
- Had a farmhouse land on her head ala The Wizard of Oz, and was fine
- Owns Greebo, a four legged demon in the shape of a cat.
Bonus Bonus Greebo Propaganda:
- Has killed at least two vampires.
- Said to be the single male ancestor of every cat in a wide radius
- Can turn into a human; he still has his claws in this shape
They sound so iconic honestly

People on tumblr really will go „I cannot believe silly right wingers fall for fear-mongering and moral panics and accuse random queer people of being pedophiles for self expression and kinks, anyway, block and unfollow xyz because they’re a proshipper and glorifying abuse”

i think a lot of people mistake vegans for believing themselves to be "morally superior" rather than the actual, and very reasonable stance that IF YOU HAVE THE OPTION NOT TO KILL OTHER LIVING BEINGS, YOU SHOULDN'T DO IT.
most of us can understand that it's stupid to wield "oh so you think you're morally superior" against any type of human or environmental rights activists because how do you even respond to that? sure? Because its NOT ABOUT MORAL SUPERIORITY. IT'S ABOUT NOT UNNECESARILY CAUSING HARM.
Also, an activist could be the most annoying, self righteous person on the entire planet, but their stances having NOTHING to do with that. An asshole saying "trans rights" doesn't mean you shouldn't support trans rights because an asshole said it.
PLEASE start looking at veganism like you look at any other form of activism and resistance, and consider what disinformation and propaganda you've been fed about it.

Okay so I never actually watched James Somerton. Infact, before HBomberguy's video I didn't even know who he was. However based on some of the clips HBG showed of him (as well as the clips from the Todd in the Shadows video) I can say that I have met/known people in LGBT+ spaces who have regurgitated his same talking points. And I'm not talking about his plagiarized content. I'm talking about how he takes that content and rewords it to justify his misogyny.
The fact he misgenders ND Stevenson (he/him) and Rebecca Sugar (they/them) is EXTREMELY telling about what kind of person he is. Even if he didn't know their pronouns, it's still feeding into the dangerous lie of "cis women pretending to be trans in order to write gay stories".
It's disgusting and unfortunately I still see this sentiment today. (If I had a nickel for every time someone missgenders refrainbow I'd be a millionaire and way too many of those nickels are from the gay community)
In conclusion, plagiarism bad, transphobia bad, misogyny bad, James Somerton bad.
Shout out to Hbomberguy and Todd in the Shadows. Highly recommend everyone HBG liked in the bio (especially Khadija Mbowe, they are the goat)
And remember:
You are not immune to Propaganda

It’s no longer enough to say “Israel did something bad.” It always has to be “Israel did the worst thing any country has ever done in the history of the world!” It can’t be a war, it has to be a “genocide.” And it can’t even be a genocide, it has to be the worst genocide that’s ever happened.
Do these people really think that the only Jewish country that’s ever existed just coincidentally happens to be the worst country that’s ever existed?

I just think we should start framing these things in the first person. I am not immune to propaganda. I have implicit biases, in spite of my explicit beliefs, which I need to keep in check.
