oh no our imperialist dominance over the world is crumbling and our benefits from it as proletarians in the core are dissipating… im so mad at USA bourgeois politician x for this… theyre making our home into hell…

anon. this is why communists here & in the global south have been telling you for years that our way of life is a product of bloody neocolonial domination. it's not to make you feel bad or to convince you to become a fair-trade-only no-carbon-footprint freegan. it's because this was inevitable, and the politicians who did the "right" things to maintain business as usual were delaying and exacerbating these consequences. it's because the only way to prevent this kind of precipitous fall was to have built a prepared and organized internationalist proletarian movement decades ago that could have directed and controlled the crises, and the only way to cope with it now is to recognize how and why it will continue to happen and start building apparatuses to manage the decline

or you could keep yelling at communists online for making you feel dumb about not realizing that eventually you would have to live like the other 95% of the world. that works too

not only this but arad "served" during the 1967 naksa which displaced 300,000 people and COMPLETELY emptied the villages of bayt nuba, imwas, and yalo. like he participated in an event that was (until the last year) one of the biggest iterations of the nakba ever.

I’ve got you, don’t worry Circe’s got you now

We haven’t had bread for days… The war on Gaza continues, the blockade is suffocating us, and bakeries have completely shut down. The situation is beyond tragic—children, families, everyone is starving. We need every voice, every bit of support, every share to make the world hear our cry. Please don’t ignore our suffering.

highly recommend keeping a small portrait of a historical figure who met a grisly end on your work desk. for perspective.

It could be any work of art, a piece of music, a song, a poem, a painting, a sculpture, but I'm looking for things that are purely and deliberately aesthetic in nature. And when I talk about being moved to tears by its beauty I mean that it's not because it spoke to your experiences or to the emotional state you were in, not because you felt Seen by it, but that the work on its own terms was so beautiful just experiencing it that it moved you to tears. No nuance btw

You move from the city to a cozy rural town. You inherit your grandfather's land, and set to working it. It's a big plot, so once you make enough, you can even pay some of the townsfolk to harvest and plant for you. The mayor thanks you for revitalising the village, and bestows upon you a shiny medal. One day, the civil unrest creeps closer, and a battalion of the revolutionary peoples army comes to town. They oust the mayor, and have the townsfolk establish a council. You can't sell your crops at market right now. The council, ultimately, decides to collectivise the town's farmland, most of which is yours. Do you work on the farmland that was once yours as a labourer, and accept only your share of the collective's wealth? Do you help the mayor, who is returning with the national guard? and whoch of these seven fuckable sprites do you chose to be your wife/boywife?

did you know that you can just not say something if you're white. you can just not talk. its okay. you dont have to write a paragraph worth of tags justifying why the reason you don't like rap 'isn't racist'. you dont have to apologize for being white. you can just not say anything and save yourself the humiliation. its alright. please take your hands off the keyboard

You fucking white demons are not listening and learning hard enough!

As much as I hate liberals and love to see them suffer, I do recognize that they’re probably in the equivalent of hell right now. Imagine being a resist lib, having no idea how anything works, and seeing the Bad Guy get to do everything he ever wanted ever and your Good Guys are just sitting with their thumbs up their asses

the biggest scam tumblr pulls is all the people who come here convinced they want to be tumblr famous

the best experience you can have on tumblr is goofing around with your mutuals and one of the worst experiences is having a post with 20k+ notes.
