WATCH THIS: MAN SHUTS DOWN ANTISEMITIC WHITE POWER PREACHER
One of my friends in the Boston area took this video and gave me permission to post it. She writes: “ I stood there for twenty minutes, easily. Hitler Youth kept trying to preach about “the evils of the Jews” and the big guy barely let him get a word in edgewise. At one point, the big guy yelled, “I will be here ALL DAY” and the crowd cheered.”
I promise this will be the best thing you see today.
Where’s a goddamn bullhorn when you need it?
wow that preacher is probably shitting his pants low key with some big ass biker that close to his face
Caption for those who need it– the guy in the suit is saying shit like “all races must serve us as put here by God” and a lot of racist/anti Semitic drivel.
Every time he opens his mouth to speak though, the biker yells “AHHHHHHH!!!” Until the man in the suit shuts up again. When the man in the suit takes a breath and opens his mouth, the biker doesn’t even let him get started and just screams “AHHHHH”…. This happens a few times.
The guy in the suit plows ahead but the biker screams and says “No no no no!!!”
trans women don’t experience male socialization before we come out
we experience closeted trans woman socialization which is an entirely different and extremely toxic monster
thank and have a terrible day if you disagree
hi if you’re safe to do so you should probably be reblogging this the idea that trans women are socialized as anything but women is one of the most potent arguments for stripping us of our humanity
When I was 10 months old, you brought a Punjabi Indian and Cantonese Chinese girl to America. You raised her as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
When I was 5, you took me to a party hosted by Chinese people. When you found out it was a holiday, you told me we had to leave because it was a celebration of a false religious holiday. When I cried, you yelled about pleasing Jehovah and not worshipping the devil. We never went to any cultural events again and you acted like my cultures didn’t exist.
When I was 13, you made me throw away the bindis my friend gave me and told me Jehovah was proud of me for throwing away a symbol of false religion and standing up for him.
When I was 14, the elders in your congregation told me I couldn’t wear sarees and Punjabi suits. You packed them away instead of standing up for me. Even though the elders later revoked their decision after the circuit overseer* told them to, I still remember how you went along with them. You scrubbed the mehndi off my arm for an hour because a congregation elder told you I couldn’t participate in preaching activities because it looked like a tattoo.
When I was 15, you let me wear sarees to an assembly*, where dozens of white people stopped and took pictures with me as if I was a zoo exhibit. You told me to smile and be polite.
When I was 17, we moved to a more racially diverse area where the people didn’t care about my clothing and mehndi and you let me wear them again.
Last week, you decided to start learning Hindi with me, forgetting the legacy you left me.
Last week, you decided you could use me as a path to convert people. You decided my heritage is convenient for you.
Yesterday you told me I could only spend time with the Desi kids at my college if I tried to preach to them.
Today I am declaring that I will be Desi with or without your permission. I am immune to your paintbrush, white as snow, caustic as bleach.
Today I am declaring that you don’t get access to my people’s dances, mehndi, clothing, food, bindis, holidays, languages and jewelry when you tore them from me to conform to the standards of white, male Jehovah’s Witnesses. I might not even want to share any of it.
You can rub the mehndi off, toss away the bindis, break the bangles, tear off my salwar kameez, hold my shoulders down, but the strength of my people will always flow in my blood like the Five Rivers.
*a circuit overseer is a man who travels to congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses and gives them council. An assembly is a big meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses, this one was 3 days and in the summer.
This is why cults are toxic can’t wait for the day religion as a while is a motherfuckkng cult and should be banished 😈
Although I believe Jehovah’s Witnesses are a cult based on their rules about association and the amount of control involved in day to day life, that wasn’t the point of this essay.
Honestly it was so nice of the Galra to let Shiro maintain his undercut, like if you’re not gonna let a guy keep all his limbs you at least gotta let him keep his aesthetic damn
That’s actually a tactic used on POWs in the past.
They’d groom or wash their captives to instill, further, that they are helpless and a possession, or a pet, and not a human being capable of washing themselves. It also ruins their pride and makes them feel violated, or childish, to be unable to control their own grooming.
In some situations it’s used as part of a brainwashing move. If the prisoner is complient and obeys, they get rewarded with better food, grooming, and sleep. It’s to further control over the prisoner by using the most effective teaching technique, positive reinforcement.
So they may have kept Shiro groomed in a sense, to further show he’s 1. under THEIR control, 2. a possession, and 3. a reward for doing as told.
Part of the New Internet Grammar: using question marks not to denote questions, but upturns in voice, so that a tentative statement gets a question mark but a flatly delivered question doesn’t.
man: has anyone ever told you you’re beautiful?
me: oh no sir, today is my first day out of doors and papà forbade mirrors in the house lest we fall victim to vanity
y’know, a lot of emo thirteen-year-old girls say they want to fling themselves into the sun, but most of the time they don’t actually mean it. rose lalonde, though… rose lalonde was not fucking around
