Konstantin, you asked a Black woman where she'd rather live than Britain or America or Canada.
Let's take Britain as your example of tolerant, slavery-ending Western excellence.
Britain did not end slavery voluntarily. Britain ended the Atlantic slave trade in 1807 after decades of organized abolitionist pressure, slave rebellions across the Caribbean, most consequentially Haiti in 1791, and the growing calculation that wage labor was becoming more economically efficient than chattel slavery in certain contexts.
When Britain "abolished" slavery in its colonies in 1833, it paid £20 million in compensation.
Not to the enslaved.
To the enslavers.
The people who had been worked and beaten and raped and bred like livestock for generations received nothing.
Their enslavers received the equivalent of £17 billion in today's money, funded by British taxpayers.
A debt so large that British citizens were still paying it off in 2015.
You read that correctly.
British taxpayers were paying off the debt incurred compensating slave owners until 2015.
So when you ask a Black woman where she would rather live, the answer she gives, if she says Britain, is not an endorsement of British moral superiority.
It is a statement about which available option causes her the least harm.
Those are not the same thing.
And you know the difference.
You just find it more comfortable not to say it.
Ben Gvir n’est pas “la cause du mal”, mais l’expression d’un État colonial qui l’a rendu possible. Ce n’est pas Ben Gvir qui crée le système ; c’est l’État colonial israélien qui produit des figures comme lui. Il n’est qu’un symptôme, pas la cause.

“La @PoliciaEcuador acaba de impedir el paso de dos buses con familiares de personas privadas de libertad que se dirigían al CPL "El Encuentro", para protestar por las condiciones inhumanas de detención existentes en ese centro, a la altura del peaje de Guayaquil… las familias continuarán su recorrido a pie, en una caravana humanitaria”, alerta el abogado @NandoBastias.
So what about Oct 7? The world is done with the Zionist Hasbara of "...but Oct 7th!" Oct 7 is used to justify Israeli Jews genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians but 76 yrs of murder, rape, pillaging, persecuting & stealing from Palestinians doesn't justify Oct 7? Sure☕️
Released activists from the Gaza aid flotilla were treated for injuries after being tortured in Israeli detention this week.
Israel kidnapped 438 people from 50 boats and subjected them to brutal treatment, including rape, beatings and electrocution, participants said. One activist said 40 people were left with broken ribs.
🚨 Warning: distressful content!
Those genocidal maniacs RAPED humanitarian activist trying to take food and medicine to children in Gaza! And the worst is that even this they escalate to much worse forms with the 9000 Palestinians in israeli dungeons (almost 400 children)!
En Bolivia, obreros, campesinos, maestros de escuela, indígenas y transportistas, llevan mas de 2 semanas paralizando el país contra las políticas neoliberales del gobierno de Rodrigo Paz, y medios occidentales ni informan.
"The moment I realised Israeli society was fully fascist"
Journalist and filmmaker @AbbyMartin shares her experience speaking to everyday Israeli citizens in 2017, and explains how genocidal rhetoric has now gone mainstream in the country.
WOW!
@Theintercept reviewed more than 12000 print articles and 5000 TV segments to check for biases on Israel-Palestine.
I thought it would be bad.
I had no idea it was THIS bad.
No wonder Gaza killed what little credibility mianstream media had.
In NYT, Israel's right to defend itself was invoked 99 times. Only once for Palestine.
On CNN and MSNBC, it was invoked 755 times for Israel. But only 8 times for Palestine.
Emotive words such as slaughter and massacre were used frequently when Israelis had been killed. They were NEVER used in print when Palestinians were killed.
In Ukraine, 262 children were killed in the war, and it was mentioned 4223 times.
In Palestine, more than 10,000 children were killed, but it was mentioned only 3632.
The full article is in the subtweet. It's a MUST READ:
Day 3 of Bolivia's general strike demanding the resignation of neoliberal President Rodrigo Paz.
All major highways blocked by protesters. An indigenous long march is heading to the capital, as it passes through each town and village more people join.
Israel in English: Accusing us of r*pe is a blood libel😿
Israel in Hebrew: We MUST r*pe Palestinians & make it official "regulated policy of the state"😼
Translation is Israel's Achilles' heel & kryptonite. The worst curse on their Hasbara machine. One click & it crumbles!
The sugar industry’s bitter legacy, built on slavery, exploitation and environmental damage, is still resonating today.
