Don’t understand why there’s no promo for this but-
Markiplier has a TV show coming out this Friday! It’s based on the podcast (Edge Of Sleep) and there’s been no marketing lol.
It’s leaked early in USA on Prime. Go support it! #theedgeofsleep#teos#markiplier
@EricShapiro3 I think it's several things: good PR from the top to make people look away from the bigotry, time, and many people who work at Chick-fil-A restaurants are oftentimes some form of queer
This is also one of the core themes of ‘The Body Keeps the Score’ (it’s how the book opens) and the foundation of PTSD research in America. Which is why we can all find another book about trauma that doesn’t center sad white men who blew up entire villages and communities.
To summarize, LISTEN TO CONGOLESE PEOPLE WHEN WE TELL YOU THIS SHIT
Many of y’all want to live your savior fantasy through people (yes you can be non-white and have a savior complex) and that is not what the people in DRC need in this moment.
The people in Congo do not want to leave. This isn’t like Gaza where GoFundMe’s to evacuate will solve the situation for these families.
There are grassroot orgs on the ground providing aid, shelter, medical assistance, etc to the displaced that have been begging folks to listen
The main players and beneficiaries from Congo genocide:
USA
China
UK
France
In addition to Rwanda and Uganda through their funding of the M23 rebels terrorizing eastern DRC
Idk how many times I have to say this, but it needs to be said.
The genocide in Congo is not the same as the genocide in Palestine.
It is not silent, it has been repeatedly ignored.
Yes Israel benefits from it but they are a minority player in the grand scheme of it all.
