new contra points video made good points but i did have some issues with it, mainly:

  1. I find the "these people are just stupid" argument to be meaningless and even harmful (what is "intelligence"? who has access to education, to critical thinking? and if there really is such a thing as inherently biologically "smart" and "stupid" people, how can you fault the "stupid" people for having a brain that works differently?)
  2. Leaving out the topic of Psychosis when talking about conspiracy seems like a mistake, the overlap between the two is huge
#this is just my 2 thought i'm saving for later#i can't write a full great analysis of this video but if someone has one i would like to read it lol#one thing abt the psychosis:#in one section she mentioned someone who went on TV saying that he's the messiah#who then drifted off into conspiracy theories. and she either ignored or wasn't ware of the fact that thinking you are the messiah is#one of the most common forms of psychosis#contrapoints#conspiracy

heyyyy internet leftist… i can't help but notice that none of your posting involves confessing to crimes on the internet, or revealing details about your on-the-ground activism that could be used to find you in real life? seems suspicious, i'm going to assert that all you ever do is post

a whole bunch of gazan mutual aid projects and nonprofits. if the decision of which individual fundraiser to give to feels too daunting, or if you just want to help as many people as possible in one go, these are great initiatives to support.

  • care for gaza - focuses on providing food and essential supplies. donate here or here.
  • connecting humanity - securing internet access via donations of virtual sim cards (esims). if you can't afford a whole plan yourself, crips for esims is a communal pool that will use your donation to purchase and maintain esims
  • gaza soup kitchen - provides food, medical care, and classes for children. also has a gofundme
  • glia gaza medical support initiative - provides medical care through field clinics and tents at hospitals. donations can also be sent through their website.
  • ele elna elak - provides clean water, food, clothing, and shelter. they also have a gofundme
  • life for gaza - raising money for the gaza municipality to repair water and waste management infrastructure
  • taawon - partners with local civil organizations to provide food, water, medical care, shelter, and basic supplies
  • the sameer project - running various initiatives providing tents, medical care, and necessities. they have their own encampment project focused on sheltering families with children, sick and disabled members, or members in need of perinatal care
  • islamic relief worldwide's gaza emergency appeal - provides food, water, hygiene kits, medical supplies, and psychological support
  • baitulmaal - provides a variety of necessities, including food, water, shelter, and medical supplies
  • gaza mutual aid fund - distributes food, hygiene products, water, and other essential supplies, including financial support. run by @/el-shab-hussein's amazing friend Mona. updates can be found on her instagram.

Since the ceasefire in Gaza, Israel has detained more Palestinians from the West Bank and East Jerusalem than it has released as per the deal.

While 358 have been released from Israeli dungeons, 380 Palestinians have been detained.

Many of the Palestinians detained are placed under Administrative Detention, which means they are being held without charge or trial for an indefinite period of time.

This is something Israel has done in the past, even in 2023 during similar circumstances and it's meant as a morale warfare. But I also remember hearing a freed Palestinian say that to them, so long as the prison gates were opening and shutting each day, they knew that their freedom was inevitable.

love is a beautiful wonderful multifaceted nebulous thing that shouldn't be reduced to the strict bounds of Tier One: Romance and Tier Two: Friends. get weird with it. love your friends deeply, wildly, passionately and platonically. cowards

Some of you have got to stop getting on literally any post about physical disability and chronic pain & talking about adhd and anxiety I don't know how to explain to you that these are not the same thing. Like I have all of the above and the adhd and anxiety can be debilitating for sure but if you've never had your body actually stop working from the amount of pain that you're in you Do Not get it. No executive dysfunction doesn't count as being physically unable to move. Some people don't have legs

“Why should a French or a German citizen be born with access to world-class services and well-protected rights (actual implementation on the basis of minority status may differ), while a Somalian citizen is not only denied those things, but also faces huge obstacles in becoming a citizen (or even a resident) of anywhere else? If you are born a citizen of Japan, there are 190 countries you can travel to freely without a visa; if you are a citizen of Afghanistan, there are only 25. If you are born a U.K. citizen, and feel like a change of scene, you can pay $7 for permission to go to Canada, hop on a flight, and stay for up to six months without anyone bothering you. If you are born in a refugee camp, it can take years before you even get a chance to live in a place like Canada. So how can we possibly consider ourselves to be people who care about freedom and autonomy, when thanks to borders our destinies are practically assigned to us at birth? Is it absurd to form your own state? Or is it more absurd to have states in the first place?”
