Living amongst the murderers of my people and navigating their fascist society.

Courage looks like Kurdish women! 🖤
I am deeply touched by how gently she cleans her weapon. There is a quiet and beautiful intimacy (and familiarity) between a woman and her weapon.
@colkawusi They try to divide us along our individual identities, but we share more than divides us. The people of Afghanistan share the same condition, no matter who they are, everyone is struggling. To deny that is to deny reality and be myopic & choose myopic solutions that solve little.
@colkawusi That's why I never amplify Afghans who are devoted to single issues and refuse to zoom out and see the bigger picture. There are no single issues, especially in Afghanistan's case. In Afghanistan, EVERYONE is struggling who is not sitting in Arg and does not rule Afghanistan.
@myo_claire@madtranny Western "activists" often view the imperialized with the same suspicion as they view normies. It's arrogant.
I believe that is why they are so irrelevant and impotent, they achieve nothing without the support of the ordinary people.
@madtranny Also, some/most "normies" are the sweetest people you could ever meet, they have better morals than smug "activists" who hide behind political language/terminology!
I love normies, they make great friends and are better (more decent) people than most activists. Less hypocritical!
@bob_esfanji1 Good visuals are not enough, good cinema has to be visionary!
I do like independent films, though. I watched one a long time ago, probably on YouTube, but I can't remember the title, otherwise I would have recommended it to you! 😊💓
@bob_esfanji1 Iranian cinema is also extremely racist towards Afghans, I have little patience for it.
It mostly just affirms the status quo, which I find dull.
I only occasionally watch it to analyze the fascist psyche, just like I do with Western cinema, but it's mostly a waste of time.
@grayfog12375051@madtranny I saw a few interviews of her 2 years ago, she was out-spoken and a good advocate for herself, but not a good "advocate" for anyone else (apart from her own in-group).
Being bold is not enough, one has to be consistent.
She was just an entertainer, not more, not less.
this just in, cishet man thinks the "feminism" of a woman whose whole thing was being as non-offensively palatable to the largest number of people as possible is better than the feminism of an actual feminist who didn't particularly care what men thought!
@muerteserena_ This is most true for Americans who are obsessed with Hollywood and the entertainment industry. Fictional characters are more real for them than victims of empire.
I've been thinking this for the last 2+ years, from observing citizens of imperial core & their sheer indifference.
