@jenicewild I’m sure many #Israelis, both religious & secular, will have concerns about their futures in a unitary state!

I grew up in what was the #Apartheid state called #Rhodesia. I left as a teenager in 1971 just before the civil war started in earnest. The whites were fighting to maintain white-minority rule in large part because they were terrified by the prospect of being governed by the very same black people that they had been discriminating against & humiliating for almost a century! As it turned out, even though Robert Mugabe turned out to be a totally corrupt dictator, there was no mass slaughter of the small white population after the country became an independent Zimbabwe at the end of the 1970-1980 civil war!

The white minority-ruled #Apartheid government of South Africa was able to sustain itself for much longer by directing a fear-mongering campaign at whites which basically said that, if the black majority came to power, they would all be slaughtered! Many predicted a blood-bath when Apartheid ended & Mandela became President but, as we now know, through his amazing charisma & leadership he was able to prevent that from happening!

My point is: I ‘get’ that Israelis share all kinds of fears & anxieties! I also understand that there are complicated religious & (geo)political issues that would need to be resolved! But the #Genocidal policies being visited on the indigenous #Palestinian population by the increasingly #Fascist Netanyahu government will only prolong the country’s agony! Eventually, the #Zionist #SettlerColonial hegemony will come to an end.

PS: you mention Sharia. Let me ask you a question: in what material respects does strict Islamic Law in any way differ from the strict rabbinical law that the #UltraOrthodox #NeoNazi politicians like Bezalel #Smotritch & Itamar Ben Gvir (& others) want to impose on the largely secular Israeli population?

Full disclosure: I don’t know the answer but I can probably guarantee that there isn’t much difference - especially where eg womens’ rights are concerned

"The use of the term 'apartheid' for #Palestine is complicated. It's been used by 'liberal #zionists' and 'left-wing zionists' to try and make the issue of the #occupation of Palestine as solely a #racism one and not a #genocidal settler #colony #occupying land that is ours. However, the system in place within that occupation is factually one of #apartheid. South #Africans lived through the same thing and preferred the term apartheid. It's not like the white #people weren't occupying land that wasn't theirs either. Either way, considering countless South African #activisits including Nelson Mandela's grandson decided to go ahead and call the occupation of Palestine a system of apartheid, while calling it an occupation and declaring that ALL of Palestine should be free, it becomes silly to even try to argue with that, you just don't have a foothold."

"#Liberals care more about the #aesthetics of #Democracy™ than they care about actual #humans lives. More and more states in the US are passing #laws that are #genocidal against #trans #people but it would be "#authoritarian" for Biden to block them from doing that, so they really would just prefer that we die than be safe"

"That said, if this happened in a #foreign #country, liberals would demand that we immediately sanction and/or invade it to put an end to such #oppression with no regards to whatever #democratic processes it may have. It's all about the #illusion and the #aesthetic of democracy to them"

"The most jarring thing about reading #quotes from #republicans during the AIDS #crisis is not how cruel and #bigoted they were (which cannot be overstated), but how familiar they are. Calling to forcibly tattoo #people with AIDS so they could be identified doesn't just sound like an extreme but dated position of the 1980s; powerful republicans are still saying comparable shit every day. Jesse Helms is running for president in the form of Ron DeSantis. When #American #liberals and moderates ask "what happened to the republicans," the answer is nothing. They have been just as brutal and #genocidal for the past 40+ years, and anyone who says otherwise has been ignoring the pleas and #struggles of #persecuted #groups."

@begrudging_recluse

It does suck to watch everyone around me succumb to the temptation to embrace 'back to normal' DESPITE KNOWING (intellectually) that #COVID keeps on killing the most vulnerable among us; elders, children, disabled...

AND despite knowing its (I'll say it) #genocidal impact on #black & Indigenous folks

I'm still wearing my mask in public places. I don't care what anyone thinks about that. #JesusWept

It's increasingly hard to argue that the Republican rhetoric around #trans people isn't #genocidal

To whatever degree they are succeeding at #genocide—or whether this is "just sparkling extermination"—that's clearly where this sort of thing is looking to end up (OK SB129):

"A physician or other healthcare professional found to have knowingly referred for or provided gender transition procedures to an individual under twenty-six (26) years of age shall, upon conviction, be guilty of a felony."

We should understand, that #PutinsWar is a #genocidal in more than one way:
1. To people of the #Ukraine.
2. To people of many ethnic #minorities in remote #Russia where most recruiting happens.

Even if it fails to Russify Ukraine, it will Russify Russia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Russia

Russia’s abduction of Ukrainian children is an established genocidal tactic

Russia’s forceful displacement of Ukrainians is a centuries-tested practice of conquest.

Children who get abducted today from Ukraine may not find their way back home after the war ends

#Midwest #KansasCity #Kansas #Missouri #TransRights #ActuallyAutistic #Suburbs #USpol

I'm sure you're all aware of the recent onslaught of #genocidal #fascist #StateLegislation being put forward in the Missouri legislature: defunding libraries, criminalizing trans children, rewriting history in schools, etc. It's a lot happening all at once, and it's important to resist every step of the way. Even if Missouri isn't close to your heart, this is a test run for what's coming to a state or country near you. And that means we need to be critical of the conditions that led to this onslaught, wherever they occur, as uncomfortable as that critical view may be to hold.

Missouri is close to my heart, and I have some personal "insider" understanding of the conditions that created what's happening now. I lived on the Kansas side of Kansas City for a decade, in a well-off, white, mostly centrist #liberal suburb called Overland Park. For context, people from either side of the state line (it's literally a road) in KC go back and forth every day without thinking about it. You can't cleanly separate Kansas stuff and Missouri stuff.

We're hearing a lot about how the fascists themselves built up to this (if you really have no idea, I'd suggest the series "The Alt Right Playbook" on YouTube, by Innuendo Studios). The liberals are not collectively faultless. Overland Park liberals largely define their local identity in opposition to the "inner city" on the Missouri side, which they view as too poor, too dangerous, and too Black. (There's also an exaggerated idea of how many rural and Western Kansans are Christian fundamentalist gun nuts, but not to the same extent.) They really don't want to think about their privilege.

In contrast to the supposed "chaos" and "lawlessness" of the "inner city", the suburb maintains strict appearances of perfection and order. The endangered tallgrass prairie is confined to a single, small and curated space, while every other parcel of land is flattened and covered with either lawn grass or pavement. Toxic positivity is a way of covering up and ignoring the issues like racism and classism, environmental degradation, and gentrification. It also creates an unattainable pressure among younger people to be "perfect" and eternally pleasant. I witnessed and experienced this deeply as a neurodivergent teen, but recently I'm hearing lots of heart-wrenching stories from my trans friends back in KC who are getting kicked out of their "normal and happy" families. Everyone is surprised except the people who aren't.

When our mental health cracks under the pressure and/or we just play can't along and hide ourselves any longer, these liberals violently sweep us under the rug. For me, this meant getting brushed off to a mental hospital for them to deal with, rather than confronting the invisibilized systemic realities that created the situation. It means the local schools and parents glorifying their well-funded special education programs, while there's no radical neurodivergent movement or even neurodivergent-led organizations and you're considered a raving fanatic (at best) if you advocate for one. Schools are a big part of this in general: they use their budgets to bring in cops and punishing kids for advocating their needs in "not nice" ways, rather than addressing those needs (ownership and freedom in their education, not being inundated with monotonous work, not being bullied, etc.).

Another example is the local megachurch: it's the liberal megachurch, so it must be the "nice" megachurch. And it is, in comparison. But of course it offers no substantial ethical solutions to how its thousands of members should act upon their world other than "love each other more" and "let's pretend that the Bible actually says what centrist liberals want it to say, instead of what dead scribes wrote".

It's also deeply relevant that there's almost no historical memory on the local scale. There are no old buildings, not even government buildings. There are very few old businesses; new businesses replace the old constantly as trends change, and the wrecking balls are an ever-present memory hole for capitalism. If we remembered the past, we'd remember the genocides of the indigenous peoples of the Great Plains, which made the region so sparsely populated. We'd remember how Overland Park, along with many of the Kansas City suburbs, were created largely by redlining and white flight as an "escape" from living near Black people.

Much of this is typical of suburbs across the US, and the Midwest in general, not limited to that one place. I also don't want to paint a picture of Overland Park as nothing but terrible: I mostly loved it and I have many great memories of it as well. Kansas City suburban liberals are also not the only liberals in Missouri. They don't support these bills, but will have to live with them if they pass. I still doubt many would defy them.
