doing a stolen land acknowledgement after being vocally pro zionist is just bragging

I fucking hate land acknowledgments so fucking much. I’d rather they not do it instead of make a mockery of indigenous people’s suffering and existence.

What does acknowledgment even mean? I acknowledge I stole your land and genocided your people. Reparations? What? No no no, only acknowledgment! You want me to actually give back the things I took from you?

It’s a liberal thought terminating cliche that’s supposed to make libs feel better and nothing else. “At least we can talk about it, so shut the fuck up.”

My work just sent out an email wishing everyone a happy fourth of july, with a land acknowledgement in the footer. Pick a lane, motherfuckers.

“Subway: Eat Fresh and Freeze” was something used in one of the most recognizable parodies of libertarianism that was written a little over a decade ago

Now it’s barely satire.

Hey, it’s not called that! It’s just called the Grand Pride Parade. Presented by Boeing.

Don’t sleep on the fun history behind it!

… the people who were put in the camps then were Communists. Who cared about them? We knew it, it was printed in the newspapers. Who raised their voice, maybe the Confessing Church? We thought: Communists, those opponents of religion, those enemies of Christians—“should I be my brother’s keeper?”

Then they got rid of the sick, the so-called incurables. I remember a conversation I had with a person who claimed to be a Christian. He said: Perhaps it’s right, these incurably sick people just cost the state money, they are just a burden to themselves and to others. Isn’t it best for all concerned if they are taken out of the middle [of society]? Only then did the church as such take note.

Isn’t that super fun and totally not related to anything else!

Bold of them to assume that the people cheering were queers and not cishet tourists tbh. There’s a fuckton of those, you learn about it if you try to talk to people at big events like this

Sadly there are a lot of queers who could not give less of a shit about Palestine as long as they get theirs.

There is no LGBT rights until there are Palestinian rights. As long as any one minority group can be oppressed, any minority group can be oppressed.

If only there was a way to thunk that through all these thick skulls.

Is it possible to remain “cishet” eternally? I kinda like a little gay sex but I don’t want to appropriate bi culture because society totally sees me as het
