my twt is 100% just immediate thoughts that pop into my head and yes my mind is an angry political hellscape but the bg music is September by Earth Wind & Fire: Wii version
white americans are obsessed with claiming a nationality while having no knowledge of our political systems, recent history, current social conflicts, who our political leaders are or even what their titles are in government, and then don't get why we don't like them
the english who don't know their own history are now doing historical revisionism about what they did to Scotland because of the act of union. you absolutely can make this shit up because shirking accountability is a classic english move
It's wild rewatching ATLA knowing shipping discourse now bc what do you mean kataang is babysitter coded. Sokka calls Aang her boyfriend in the FIRST EPISODE
For a bunch of people who consider themselves leftist and progressive so many of you are compassionless and don't have an ounce of the empathy you claim to practice
I'm so tired of people saying shit like what did you expect. Is it that hard to consider that other people have lives and feelings bigger than your need to feel superior. What do you gain from telling queer people "fork found in kitchen" other than a teenage mean girl thrill
I'm visibly a fucking dyke. I'm not out to my family. The response i always get is "uh are you sure" in this condescending superiority like they think I'm delusional or stupid. I know damn well what MY family thinks. It's a whole other thing to say it on MY TERMS.
im kind of like. severely disturbed by the number of people who consider themselves progressive but believe in the death penalty as long as the switch is in their hands.
With complete sincerity how am I supposed to hear "we'll become an island of strangers" and not hear Enoch Powell saying "rivers of blood". I can't even express the weight of my disgust
Every conversation about how women dress and behave comes down to the fact men cannot conceive of the fact that women just exist neutrally. They always ask why women can't do x behaviour for them because they think everything a woman does at all times is some kind of performance
Serious question you guys think right wingers spend their time going "well he's not conservative ENOUGH" or do they just go "fuck yeah another guy who hates minorities"
KNEECAP STATEMENT:
They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.
Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.
Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.
We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.
This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.
All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.
At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.
Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.
This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.
To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.
Kneecapโs message has always been โ and remains โ one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.
No smear campaign will change that.
Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.
The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.
Shame on them.
