I Would Also Like To Ask Those Who Have The Money To Do So To Donate To Organisations Like Doctors Without Borders And Other Organisations - Tumblr Posts

i just want to remind everyone that it’s very tone deaf to make jokes about having to go out to war now with the ethnic cleansing in palestine going on when you’re a westerner who has not had war on their own soil since the 1800s. its even worse if you share weird saviour fantasises about going into war and being some kind of super soldier that will “save” the oppressor in this issue.

it’s really easy to treat war and violence as a joke or some kind of wet dream when you’ve been living in the west and you haven’t had war on your own land for centuries. do you think those of us who have dead relatives thinks it’s funny? do you think we have the ability to turn this into a joke when generations of families has been wiped out in the name of colonisation and greed? when large chunks of a cultures history, and well simply the culture itself, is being wiped out on purpose to erase a group from the earth’s surface simply for their ethnicity?

this is not a direct call out, but something everyone should read and reflect on. please, do not minimise or turn others suffering into a laughing matter when you come from a privileged background. check yourself, please.
