not to go over this again but you literally cannot be a environmental activist and not be against settler colonalism like you are not a environmental activist of you think that shit is ok. every part of settler colonalism is environmental and ecological destruction....

[minxundertone]

Addition to the “you literally cannot be a(n) environmental activist and not…” Eat Vegan. Yes the vast majority of the world’s environmental destruction is carried out by major international evil-corps, but if you are focused on personal steps to help stem the actual fraction individuals cause, then eating vegan helps eliminate one of the biggest sources of greenhouses, Factory Farming / Industrial livestock production.

Plus you’re addressing the other two main reasons behind vegan living: moral and health.

[blackfilmmakers]

Unneeded addition that was very much rooted in the settler colonist mindset OP was talking about, hope this helps

[king-shango-the-great]

Yeah, that post from @minxundertone was completely off base.

Indigenous cultures have been consuming meat since the Paleolithic age, & greenhouse gases were not a problem back then.

This is just Colonizer talk, in order to usurp the discourse with meaningless BS.

Plus, some of the biggest racists go to Whole Foods. You're not winning any equivalency wars over here, Karen. 🙄

I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot

There's nothing I can do but further parrot takes that are already being repeated hundreds of times a day and risking getting something completely wrong. What I want to know is why anon doesn't follow the people doing just that? Or spend time on news websites instead of the one that specializes in kissing gifs and queer headcanons.

And I promise that talking about the same sort of things I've been talking about for a decade doesn't mean that I don't care about the terrible state of the world, I do. But I also have to get up and go to work every day, risking covid, and lets be real here, mass shootings because I live in America, just so I don't end up homeless on the streets. I have to push through chronic depression and anxiety to manage this. My emotional capacity for grappling with real world issues in a space that for me functions best as an escape from that is severely limited.

[ambelle]

There's something so obnoxious about people who insist no one is allowed to have a space outside of the real-world misery. Yes I'm aware WW3 is probably going to jump off if men don't chill the fuck out. No there's nothing I can do besides stress myself out so like...I'll let the news inform people and try to enjoy a tiny bit of escapism before the world implodes thanks.

[literaryspinster]

Same and I’m sorry if people find that to be callous of me but posting about media that I enjoy is maybe five percent of my day. If one personally only wants to focus on things that are important then that’s their right, the block button or unfollow button is literally right there. If I suddenly start posting about the conflict that has been going on since well before I was born, isn’t the assumption sure to be that I was shamed into it? Is that the sort of discourse people want?

[ambelle]

And contrary to popular belief having a Tumblr doesn't make you an expert on these conflicts. I remember Kony 2012 VERY clearly. People are clout activists.

[literaryspinster]

I know damn well that I’m not an expert. All I know is that innocent people being killed is extremely fucking sad and senseless, and it didn’t just start happening a few weeks ago.

[ambelle]

I’m not about to pretend I have anything to say that would even be helpful or worth reading. It’s ongoing,complicated, and horrific. There’s not much I can say that’s going to change anything. We are aware but like now what?

We have to spend every moment speaking about horrible things we can do nothing about? The virtue signaling is exhausting. Like are the starting gofundme’s and flying over there ready to join the fight? If not you’re just talking shit on your moms wifi.

I can’t do a damn thing for anybody.

[literaryspinster]

I will do my best to further educate myself on what's happening, but I'm not doing that on social media. That 40 b*headed b*bies thing turned out to be bullshit and guess where I first read it? Social media is a misinformation factory and I can be somewhat gullible at times (I tweeted support for Jussie Smollett ffs) It's something I've learned about myself and am working on, in the meantime it's better for everyone if I focus on things that I know and understand.

I'll say this though, from what I have read, I'm on the side of Palestinian citizens and don't support the Israeli government, but I also don't support Hamas (is that the wrong thing to say? I have no idea but there it is). In any case I really don't think my support actually means anything, it's just words, it's not going to stop anyone from being killed or bring any of them back.

[tarotofbadkitties]

Jussie Smollett has been released from jail pending appeal and it was determined in an investigation of the process used against him that sufficient malfeasance took place that many people in that prosecutor's office have been removed from their jobs subsequently. The reason he was released was because there was such a strong case for his appeal succeeding. It was a violation of his right to due process to announce to the public that he committed some kind of hoax before there was any investigation or evidence of this that prejudiced the public, including the jury involved in the conviction, and the CPD tried to slide out of it by offering him the chance to pay a fine with no prison time involved and having the charges dropped. He turned that down citing that there is no reason for him to be paying the city if he's not going to be charged for anything and they threw a nonsense trial at him. Believing the people that assaulted him when they claimed that he asked them to assault him and convicting him based on that is WILD and spinning the fact that he knew these men before they attacked him in disquise, in the middle of the night as evidence he arranged for them to attack him is nonsensical. THe overwheming majority of people who are victims of violent crime are victimized by acquaintances, and that isn't usually considered to be evidence that people set themselves up to be beaten in the streets. Unless you're out in public with your same-sex partner, anti-gay hate crimes are almost always perpetrated by people that know the victim because otherwise how would they know they're gay to attack them over it?

The idea that people from other countries can't be xenophobic and can't have specifically bigotry against black Americans descended from slavery is also an area of ignorance that was exploited to make it seem impossible these men targeted him over his race. It was clever on the part of the lawyers for these attackers and the CPD (who needed a conviction to cover their asses for the HUGE injustice they perpetuated by immediately arresting a victim of a hate crime and apologizing for his behavior to the public rather than presuming his innocence, refusing to comment publicly, and allowing him a fair and speedy trial.) There's no reason to apologize for tweeting in support of someone who was demonstrably abused by the justice system and had his rights violated, and the fact they violated his rights and attempted to extort him remains even if they managed to prove he arranged the attack on himself (which in my opinion is highly unlikely. If it was very certain they could prove this and did nothing wrong to him that influenced his conviction, they could have simply refused his request for an appeal or kept him in jail pending appeal.)

[literaryspinster]

See, didn’t know any of this either. I am not the one you guys.

[tarotofbadkitties]

It’s widely believed that they proved this man set himself up and lied about it and is a crazy person, so I wouldn’t consider it a personality fault of some kind to believe that at this point. It’s just a matter of personal irritation that media narrative saturated so thoroughly, even in the midst of all the ACAB and #defund talk. How did they get so many people to forget cops fucking lie lol?!

[Women That Are Not Well Behaved]

I can’t think of anybody who faked a hate crime against themselves or paid someone to hate crime them. I can think of people who lied about being subjected to violent events that didn’t happen but NOBODY who actually had themselves put in the hospital with broken ribs trying to get fake sympathy. Jussie Smollett would be the first person I’ve EVER heard of in my life who paid two big strong men to put him in the hospital so that people would feel sorry for him. That’s the main reason I think he didn’t do that lol. It was never a likely story and always a cruel and absurd way to respond to a victim reporting a hate crime to the police. People say “well why didn’t they go to the police? Why didn’t they immediately go to the hospital?” Well, guess what…even if you do that that doesn’t guarantee you’ll be believed and attackers saying a person deserved it or asked for it goes a LONG way when the person attacked is from a maligned minority, much less two of them.

Also…at this point I think we’ve seen enough black Trump supporters that we can stop the BS that what made it obvious this was fake was the Trump regalia they disguised themselves with.

This was the reaction in Nigeria, the country Smollett’s attackers hail from, to Trump’s election.

This person said this to me over a random tag I left on a photo months ago and I don't know how to tell them I have a debilitating mental illness that makes me unable to leave my house

[tarotofbadkitties]

I’m all about reclaiming “crazy.” It’s a perfectly good all-purpose term for psychological distress that doesn’t require application of armchair pop psych to utilize. The idea using specific clinical language in casual conversation between lay people is somehow better and less offensive is inherently dumb.

[Women That Are Not Well Behaved]

The media doesn’t want you to care about the people of Palestine or the Israelis. They want you to get worked up enough to demand a war and whatever does it for you emotionally will do the trick just fine. Just because the television and social media algorithms requested a certain emotion from you doesn’t mean you have to give it. The only reason you’ve ever heard any of this happened at all is because the international war machine is interested; they’ve been killing people over this same conflict for centuries and it rarely elicits mainstream media coverage at all.

[Women That Are Not Well Behaved]

War is stupid, so I think we shouldn’t have one. Nobody else should have them either. Nobody has a good enough reason, ever, for widespread death and destruction.
