Europeans trying the “whiteness is only in America” gimmick is a really good bit I’m ngl

one of the major expressions of proud ignorance of the history of antiBlack violence is the belief that lynchings were principally in reaction to "crimes". it's a belief that's easily absorbed because these people accept Blackness as embodied criminality.

I actually could cry, right after I calm my wildly beating heart. These passages from Marcello Tarì say everything everything everything:

Sure I can take a stab at explaining it. I've never commented on your Gaza position before, but I understood where people were coming from the last time this came up.

Judging from your replies to others in this thread it seems your primary objection is that you are not being judged by the same standards with which leftists judge Fox News pundits or Israeli national security ministers. Because you never explicitly came out and said "I want Gaza turned into a giant mass grave," you find it unfair that leftists characterize you as unacceptably sympathetic to Israel's mass atrocities, because they wouldn't single out a Republican senator or far right podcaster who's expressed the same views as you on Gaza for these sorts of criticisms.

But you are not a Republican senator or a far right podcaster. You are not a Fox News pundit or an Israeli national security minister. You are doing public commentary in a political sector which has predominantly framed opposition to the Gaza holocaust as the central issue or our times, and you seem to regard it as a tedious issue you'd rather people de-emphasize and move past.

You made a long and hotly controversial Instagram post last year explaining why you don't feel like you should have to make a video about Gaza, in which you slammed anti-Zionism in the pro-Palestine movement and placed Jewish feelings and concerns about antisemitism front and center in your reasoning. It wasn't explicitly "genocide-loving", but it certainly advanced positions that were favorable to the US-Israeli genocidal agenda.

It read as an exhausted, eye-rolling "Ugh, can't we just move ON from this?" dismissal of everyone's white-hot opposition to an active genocide, while defending many of the dynamics which ensure that Israel's abuses will continue to occur. Even in this very post right here you describe your position as "waiting for this to blow over", like it's just some boring distraction you can't wait for people to stop annoying you with.

And that's just directly contrary to the present zeitgeist of the political factions with which you have aligned yourself. People see you as pro-genocide because you are far from sufficiently anti-genocide in a political environment where being anti-genocide is of utmost importance to people of conscience.

I am a left-wing political commentator, and if I had spent three years de-emphasizing and dismissing the Gaza holocaust I am 100% certain that many leftists would be hounding me about it to this day, even if I made the occasional tweet saying Benjamin Netanyahu is bad. People would see my output as not reflecting the urgency of the issue at hand, and they would criticize me as unacceptably sympathetic to the forces giving rise to the genocide.

I'm just some schmuck who posts opinions on the internet, but since you asked, that seems to be what's happening here.

Nolan is nowhere near a good enough director to be generating this much deranged discourse over his mediocre films

[mei @meilleya]

@AuthorialGail I still remember how upset I was when I read the trilogy at 18, went in expecting amazing writing and it was just slop

[mei @meilleya]

@nnnnnnxox 👀

[jan frohn @contraeconomy]

The fact that Nolan shot on occupied land in Western Sahara only accentuates the liberal cognitive dissonance on violence that permeates the whole movie: war is bad... but okay if our team wins, daddy is coming home, and war criminals reflect on their guilt in Calypso's therapy

Emily Wilson a legit misogyny filter on here lol

And if I say this is meant to provide Whites® with emotional catharsis, as they identify with the noble, guilt-ridden character who still understands their solemn obligation to secure the existence of their people and a future for their children?

Polly Barton:

“…and she was subsumed by the feeling that she was deeply connected with the world, after all. Understood, innately, that it was precisely because she had been alone for so long that she was able to feel like this.”
