tip for women: do fewer things "out of love" and more things that directly advantage you
A video of Palestinian man burning to death while still connected to an IV went viral after Israel firebombed a hospital and set tents on fire. I won't post the video or the pictures but I'd like to commemorated the victim.
This is Shaaban Al-Dalu. He had two sisters and a little brother. He was studying software engineering in the tent he died in. Shaaban was his family's sole provider. His mother died with him. May they rest in peace

The Zionist genocide and warmongering will likely be remembered as the death of the U.S.-centric, UN-mediated international political system thatβs been predominant since the 90s. Theyβre using chemical weapons on UN officials and it doesnβt matter at all. Theyβre showing that they can do anything that they want and that the U.S. will give them infinite supplies anyways, thereβs no longer any premise of legality at all. Definitely the first major sign for the fascistization of international politics to come

We were told that violence in itself is evil, and that, whatever the cause, it is unjustified morally. By what standard of morality can the violence used by a slave to break his chains be considered the same as the violence of a slave master? By what standards can we equate the violence of blacks who have been oppressed, suppressed, depressed and repressed for four centuries with the violence of white fascists? Violence aimed at the recovery of human dignity and at equality cannot be judged by the same yardstick as violence aimed at maintenance of discrimination and oppression.

[T]he language of fascism is written in the language of love. Love is made into the primary quality of attachment, what motivates individuals into fascism: βwe hate foreigners because we love our country.β [β¦] Love has an enormous political utility: transforming fascist subjects not only into heroic subjects, but also into potential or actual victims of crime as well as those who βaloneβ are willing to fight crime. Fascist subjects become freedom fighters, willing to stand against the βswampβ or βtideβ of the incoming others, who themselves are narrated as hateful: as being not only worthy of our hate, but as full of hate for what we are and have.
Sara Ahmed,Β βThe Bond of Beliefβ (also "Fascism as Love")
