Aamer Rahman: "A colonizer’s favourite trick is to start the timeline when it's convenient for them."
The punchline of it all is that your fave was, in fact, problematic--not least because we are all bumbling fools navigating being alive in an ever-new world we're experiencing for the first and only time.
And the thing is, Your Fave was given a giant megaphone for some reason, which means when Your Fave bumbles foolishly through the world, they do so VERY LOUDLY and their inevitable mistakes are EAR-SPLITTING.

URGENT INSULIN (HUMALOG) INJECTION IS NEEDED TO SAVE LIFE IN PALESTINE PLEASE DONATE !!
Hello everyone, I had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at a tender age, a condition that demanded a delicate balance of insulin, a commodity scarce in Gaza war-ravaged homeland.
As conflict raged around me, have struggled to find the insulin I desperately needed to survive. With medical supplies scarce and hospitals overwhelmed, obtaining medication became a daily battle fraught with danger.
One day, as the bombs fell closer to my house, my insulin supply ran out completely. With no pharmacies open and no aid reaching my area, I faced a life-threatening dilemma. Without insulin, my blood sugar levels soared, threatening to send me into a coma. I I'm here begging for your support to help me get insulin
My goal is $216/$360
KINDLY CLICK HERE TO DONATE AND SHARE TO HELP ME GET MY MEDICATION
"weird" really is the perfect descriptor for modern conservatives because I would argue the defining feature of the current american far right is that they exist purely in their own bespoke media ecosystem that is both highly conspiratorial and mostly untethered from the truth. this is a group of people whose belief system has been debunked and disproven so many times by legitimate sources that they've resorted to just telling each other increasingly absurd lies in order to justify those beliefs. the upshot of this being that the minute you remove any of those lies from said bespoke media environment, there's really no appropriate response other than some varient of "bro, what the fuck are you talking about?"
how am I supposed to respond to someone who says that Democrats are running a satanic cult where they ritually sacrifice children to harvest their adrenachome - a theory that is not only insane, but is also a throwaway gag from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. what do you expect me to say to someone who says that trans women are dominating in women's sports, and when asked to give examples responds with a list of non-white cis women? How am I supposed to take someone seriously who thinks that wildfires are caused by space lasers controlled by the Rothschilds or that schools are installing litter boxes for children who identify as cats or that most large corporations are "Marxist" because they have mandatory diversity trainings?
like sure I can take them seriously as a political threat but how am I supposed to have any respect for them as *people*. because as people they are just deeply fucking weird. we should be able to dismiss them out of hand because it's not like they'd care about whether or not we're making a reasoned argument
Still thinking about none houses left grief, and while I understand where people are coming from, "it took me out of the world" is just... Really not a relevant criticism here. Like, that line is SUPPOSED to be jarring. It is supposed to be kind of darkly funny, but the point isnt for you to laugh. Its not trying to be a punchline. The point of that line IS to "take you out of the world" because the point is that *this world isn't what you thought it was.*

One Year Since the Gaza Genocide: A Reminder of Pain and Resilience❤️🩹❤️🩹
It has been a full year since the genocide in Gaza, and its effects are still visible in every corner of this wounded place. Those were days of bombing and destruction, but they were also days of constant pain that still accompanies us to this day. We lost thousands of innocent lives, homes were destroyed, and dreams disappeared under the rubble. Over the course of this year, pain has become no longer just a memory, but has become a part of our daily lives. Gaza is still suffering from the siege and destruction caused by the war. Every day here is a struggle to survive, rebuild what was destroyed, and preserve our dignity and identity despite all attempts to erase it. But amidst this darkness there is a glimmer of hope. The people of Gaza are steadfast and clinging to life despite all the challenges. Resistance is not only through weapons, but through steadfastness and insistence on staying despite the circumstances that push us toward surrender. My family has been part of this suffering. We were displaced five times during the war, and now we live in a tent after our house was completely destroyed. Every day we face new challenges, but we stand together, bear each other, and believe that one day this darkness will fade, and life in Gaza will return to what it was before, and even better.
We are urgently asking for help because we cannot do this alone. We need to rebuild not only our home, but our lives as well. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly to providing our children with a safe place to sleep, food to eat, and a chance to dream again. Please, if you can find it in your heart to help us during this desperate time, we will be forever grateful to you. May your kindness and generosity be the light that guides us through this darkness🙏🙏🙏🙏

Please donate bail money to Palestine Action in order for their members to continue storming, halting, shutting down and dismantling all factories/offices owned by Israel’s biggest weapons manufacturer, Elbit Systems, across different countries.
If you can't donate, please visit their site to see what other ways you can support or join this movement, especially if your country host one of Elbit's factories.
Please donate to this organization. They are doing so much needed work under the inhumanity of the apartheid genocidal regime.
great video, although I feel the conclusion was a little weak. What do you recommend people do about this "narcissism" content? Other than, like, vigilance against simple good and evil narratives.

One day we need to have a conversation about how the majority of HR professionals are white women and how they operate as the single largest barrier to entry for non white people in corporate.
i think the key difference between george lucas’s star wars and disney’s star wars is that lucas is a man with an ideology. someone with a point of view, and all that entails. which comes with ideas of revolution, anti-imperialism, challenging the status quo, cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes. complex and contradictory ideas because that’s how artists are: complex and complicated people. disney is not. disney is a corporation. a corporation can’t have ideology, because ideology defeats the purpose of profit. and when the only thing you do is to turn on the movie manufacturing machine before you sit down and plan what ideas are you trying to convey to the audience, then your results are going to be washed out corporate garbage. and because when you’re a giant corporation who only cares about selling to the widest audience possible, you can’t take sides. you can’t decide on an idea. because you want to sell your product to people who are on the entire political spectrum. which results in movies without ideology, without purpose, without soul.
