Aussie here. It’s happening here, too. Everything, especially essentials, is getting a hell of a lot more expensive. Also, there’s a rental crisis caused by greedy rich people and years of a government that catered only to the wealthy and stripped necessities from the public and gave tax cuts to the rich. People are living in tents under bridges because there’s literally 0 affordable rentals available, and those of us that were lucky enough to get into rentals a few years ago are being extorted by landlords for rent that is $100+ higher per WEEK. I’m a broke uni student, the only way I can afford anything is because of a student rental assistance scheme. What the hell am I gonna do when I graduate? See if the awful job market is looking for people with my skills, despite being legally disabled. Yes, they’re forcing legally severely disabled people under 35 to work, now (they changed it recently). It’s disgusting to watch this great country’s decline because the rich know they can get away with anything and keep taking as much as they want until we have nothing left, and boy, do a great number of us have sweet f all while there are literal empty houses not being rented out to anyone so it drives the housing prices up.
I’m not endorsing violence, but if people riot, I completely understand and support their decision to choose to do so.
“people only *think* the economy is bad because of rising grocery costs!” okay but that’s called food insecurity, and I cannot overstate how big of a deal that is. food prices are, historically speaking, the number one thing that people have rioted about.
(I guess the right-wing uses an excuse to do the riots.)
They dont say its an act of racism and hatred, but instead uses a reason, that can never be okay to use, just because they want to commit acts of racism that is done by making violence and destruction.
How can you use the awful- and hurting excuse for your violence and riots, that is the death of those 3 girls? How can you ever make that as an excuse, to act like you do? To do violence and your acts based on racism?
A very interesting case
Now...I uncovered thanks to the Archives Nationale a huge riot that happened at the beginning of the year 1756 at Bicêtre. The prison Bicêtre known for it's inhumane conditions had a huge riot in 1756. Of the riot, 18 people were arrested, and only two faced actual legal punishment: Louis Robillard, the ringleader and Jean-Alexandre Léole, 23 year old stocking-maker. The rest were all freed and cleared of all charges on the first of April, 1756. They were all sentenced to torture and hanging on first trial, but because appeal was automatic, it didn't mean much.
This overall gives me the impression that the Parlement really didn't want the hot potatoe that would represent the public execution of the rioters. Also, about the inhumane treatment of homeless people in the XVIIIth century, it was so against the popular ethic that at least 18 people went to riot against it (probably a lot more), and it wasn't even the first time such a thing happen. Also, the fact that one of them did get "la question" does suggest that the Parlement at the very least believed there were more people involved in the riot. The bloodiest riot against l'Hôpital Général happened in 1750.
It took me reading the entire list of condemnations of the Parlement to find this case out.
About the violence in Charlottesville
First things first: Yes, I am okay. I am thankfully physically unharmed and was not near the violence that was happening in my town. For those of you who are also from Charlottesville, I hope you guys are safe, too.
Anyway, if you don’t want to hear political stuff, I would advise not reading this post—I’m going to give you the ugly truth of what happened
Now for the serious talk. As many of you are aware from the news, violent riots have broken out in Charlottesville today. All of this was sparked when the town voted in April to sell a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and another of Stonewall Jackson from two local parks, as well as changing their names from Lee Park and Jackson Park to Justice Park and Emancipation Park.
There have been three rallies about this. The Alt-Right came a few months back. The Ku Klux Klan came last month. But the most violent rally happened today, when the KKK, the Alt-Right, the Neo-Nazis, and two other white supremacist groups (as redundant as that may sound) came to town to protest.
The city tried to stop them from coming or move them to a different park, but they still came. However, this time, they came early—starting to show up as early as last afternoon. Now keep in mind that a majority of these people aren’t even from Virginia. Most of them are from other states and are trying to claim that they know better what to do with Virginia than actual Virginians, who mostly supported the sale and removal of these statue. But I digress.
The first big upset happened last night, when the Nazis started protesting on the lawn of the Rotunda at the University of Virginia, a big historical landmark in Charlottesville. A good number of students were not happy about their intrusion and started counter-protesting. It took a while for the police to come and break things up, but things had already started getting violent. You can practice racist values all you want, but you do not invade our university.
Today, things escalated even more when the “Unite the Right” protest, as it was called, started two hours earlier than the permit they had to “rally.” Needless to say, the counter-protesters showed up, and needless to say, it got violent. From what I heard on local news, the riots included members of the Alt-Right throwing bottles of pepper spray and hardened cement at the counter-protesters. There is also confirmed footage of them with shields and clubs.
But the worst thing happened when some maniac drove a car right into a crowd of counter-protesters. At least one of them was killed, and many more were injured. The guy was finally apprehended, and racist fanatic Richard Spencer was also arrested by police—one of my friends who was at the rally, Damani Harrison, who some of you may remember from my “I Don’t Notice” music video, posted a picture of the police arresting Spencer.
I don’t know all the current developments, as I was only in town visiting close friends for their 50th wedding anniversary—two people who are the kindest, most loving and tolerant people I have ever known—but as you are probably well aware, I am not in support of this violence and am highly against racism on any front. I will say that anyone has the right to peacefully assemble, as granted by the First Amendment of the Constitution, but what they were doing is far from peaceful. Killing innocent bystanders and hitting people with clubs is definitely not peaceful.
Moreover, I don’t like that this is happening in my town of Charlottesville. I have lived here all my life and it contains some of the nicest people. Again, these racists coming to rally were not from Charlottesville; they came from other states. The actual Virginians were the ones fighting against the Nazis, the Alt Right, and the KKK. People who are friends of mine, who went there as an attempt of getting rid of them, who went to film and document what was happening, who closed down their stores so they wouldn’t have to serve these extremists, or simply stayed hidden in their houses for fear of being lynched, a fear that shouldn’t still exist in 2017, but here we are. And C’ville in no way endorses any of what happened today.
I hope all of you, in C’ville or simply with friends in C’ville, stay safe today.
this post is devoted to the situation in Belarus
please read, it's important. I feel that everyone cared and cared about Black Lives Matter matter, not only people from the USA. it's fair but why doesn't anyone from my feed say anything about Belarus? do you think that there problems aren't related to your life? maybe, but pay attention to other people too
in a nutshel: unjust election in Belarus led to riots, meetings among citizens. these people doesn't have any weapons and just try to claim that they want justice, that they have their own choice. but they are killed anyway.
many people are dying. people who did nothing bad or wrong. they were just unlucky that someone shot them while they were in the streets.
all information about that is available. there are photos, videos. the problem is that it's mostly on Russian or Belarusian.
what's more (and scarier): Internet in Belarus isn't working. all networks, providers were blocked. people try to use VPN services, but not all of them are working and not everyone can even find the connection to download a VPN app. and what does mean? people can't talk with their friends, learn about what is happening right now. they are scared and alone. they afraid of leaving houses because they can be killed. even if they are just walking outside.
it isn't secret that I'm Russian. so I know many people from Belarus, I understand what is happening. but do you know what is shown on Russian TV? on TV they tell us that nothing bad is going on, the election was fair and people who protests against its results are ukranians and poles (because they do that to destroy Belarusian state system). yeah, it sounds like they are nuts but it's just a Russian propaganda
so, as I have said, pay attention to some "small" countries too. maybe they don't have anyone to help them
REBLOG!!!! SPREAD THIS PLS!!! EVERYONE IN OR AROUND VIDOR PLEASE STAY SAFE!!!
Reminder that if you're gay, you do not get to be transphobic. "oOoO TrANS PEoPLe mAkE mE unComFy" SHUT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK UP
You bitches know what it's like to be oppressed and abused for not fitting the straight mold, but when it's gender and not sexuality, you act like these experiences of finding yourself in a way that defies societal norms aren't similar at all.
Also, were it not for TRANS icons like Marsha p Johnson and Sylvia Rivera along with the other queer POC that led the stonewall riots, pride would flat out not be a thing(in the us).
You don't get to cherry pick which parts of the community you support. Respect them all, or GET 👏 THE 👏 FUCK 👏 OUT 👏. Watch your fucking mouth, and remember exactly who got you your freedoms.
For any Arcane Fans out there, which characters would you pair up with lyrics from Silence by Marshmello? I’m not making an edit, but I thought the song would pair really well with the show. I also feel like some characters would fit really well with multiple lyrics. This is my personal opinion on who would be paired with which lyrics:
Rather be a lover than a fighter: Heimerdinger, also Sky?
Love only left me alone - Jinx
Never had someone to call my own- Viktor
Cause all my life, I’ve been fighting - Vi, or Jinx
So I sit here in the silence- Rio (cause why not), Vander, or Silco
Never had a feeling of comfort- this could be applied to so many
All this time, I’ve been hiding- Singed
I found peace in your violence- Ambessa, or Sevika
I’m so used to being in the wrong- Marcus (gut feeling, literally no other reason)
Can’t tell me there’s no point in trying- Ekko, Caitlyn
I think too much and I hate it- Jayce? (I feel like that he acts like a good politician, but eventually overthinks everything, and makes the wrong decision)
I know there’s more, but I do know who would pair well with who else. But tell what do you think? Feel free to add anything!
These people broke in and stole items such as statues and legal documents and the police did NOTHING. They STOOD THERE AND TOOK SELFIES! How does a peaceful BLM protest get gunned down and tear gassed and these people escape unscathed?

exactly this!
praying for the Muslim community who’re strongly being targeted currently, please stay safe and stay away from the areas where planned protests are occurring if you can 🤍
I hate this idea that we're heading towards a civil war, It's not a civil war, it's just a bunch of racist gammon cunts that need reigning in.
Don't let these pricks think they're some kinda brave soldiers fighting on the front lines for the soul of Britain, they're just losers that contribute nothing to society and are using the deaths of kids as an excuse to be racist. Fuck em.
Y’know what? Screw it, I barely even have any followers, but I don’t feel okay posting the meme-joke story I wanted too if I don’t:
TW FOR POLICE BRUTALITY, RIOTS, MURDER, ETC
The ‘protests’ in DC are not protests, they are riots. It’s terrorism, made by fake, disproven election fraud.
When people took to the streets to protest black lives being murdered by police, what happened? They were teargassed, pepper sprayed, and mass-arrested, several accounts going on to detail stories of people who sat in the back of police trucks for hours, or talking about how people not even attending the protest were ripped out of their cars and pepper sprayed, or talking about medics were being targeted by police.
What happens now, when ‘Proud Boys’, racists, homophobes, and everyone else who follows Trump - who, may I remind you, only likes you if you're a cis, straight, white, man - [” Grab her by the ___”, rolled back transgender health care, mocked a disabled reporter, etc] storm and break into the capital? They’re able to break into the god-damn building, smash windows, look through documents, etc. And there’s even several accounts they took selfies with police officers.
This was never about politics, it’s about suppressing minorities.
