i also think that the way people on here talk about protests is sometimes needlessly fearmongering like it's always good to have your wits about you and be aware of dangers from cops or counterprotesters but also i feel like a lot of people on here have become convinced that by going to a large peaceful protest march they are taking their lives in their hands which is just simply not the case (the point of those events is optics and showing that a lot of people are willing to show up for the cause) and i'm worried it might be deterring people from actually showing up to protests

In the D&D world people would be like "I just don't get modron art. Like its just shapes" and I would be like "ugh, you have to be more open to unconventional forms of artistic expression. Drone #32198789 was literally persecuted by the forces of Primus for his art, he barely escaped to Sigil with his life. He painted orange squares with incredible depth and emotion, and you'd be able to see that if you kept an open mind and stopped getting mad at every painting that isn't a conventional elf maiden pastorale"

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Norway's Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide announced that, should the ICC issue warrants, Norway will arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Security Minister Yoav Gallant. This statement made a day after the dramatic declaration by ICC prosecutor Karim Khan, positions Norway as the first European country to make such a commitment. "If an arrest warrant is issued against Netanyahu and Gallant on behalf of the Hague Tribunal, we will be obliged to arrest them if they arrive in Norway," said Eide adding that "It is the court that decides whether to issue an arrest warrant. If so, all the signatory countries must act on it." Similarly, France and Belgium announced on Tuesday their support for the International Criminal Court's (ICC) application for the issuance of arrest warrants against top Israeli officials and Resistance leaders.

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.

Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.

*Same people who ignored Nazis marching on their campus and assaulting students including Jewish antifascists only a few years back* I’m so afraid of unarmed students occupying buildings it’s giving me a panic attack. Nothing this antisemitic has EVER happened on this campus before. I’m gonna die omg please save me from antisemitism JDL and local police by beating these Jewish and Arab students on camera. That’s what would make me feel truly safe as a Jew, to see some Jewish commie skulls cracked on the evening news.
