  • The pay it forward on this is mind blowing. Unsurprising, given that humans are involved, but even so.

    Ethnic group experiences ethnic cleansing. Is forcefully given land by 2 countries steeped in colonialism and ethnic cleansing. Ensuing years is supported by those 2 countries and learns at their knees. Generation of those who experienced and saved those people from ethnic cleansing die. This generation engages ethnic cleansing on a new “other” with new colonialism vibes.

    Which isn’t to say Hamas didn’t have assholes. The pattern though.



  • True but it’s still love, or was intended be, just not that kind of love. Did you watch Jessica Jones? Did you not, initially, think there was a love interest thing between her and Trish until the actual relationship came out in dialogue? Because that’s how all our entertainment media traditionally presents love, and that’s a problem. The femiverse vibes of that show spun a bit more reality into that piece.

    So much breaks when things are not reciprocated. It sucks.

    The 1950s boom was built on two things. Subsidizing a middle class instead of corporate (awesome). And the notion that a mediocre white male was more valuable in any job role than a woman or a non-white male.

    The 1950s was, in part, built on the backs of women sent home from jobs after the war to have those jobs taken by folks who may or may not have been less qualified, as it was based entirely on gender, and to lesser extent, color.

    Woman’s minds were squandered. I encourage you to ask about grandma back in the day. How mean was she? How mentally I’ll was she? How many suicides or addictions occurred? The mean stories abound at this time for a reason. Alternatively there’s the paper thin personality-less woman who avoids anything even remotely confrontational.

    Ask your family.

    Equality before the law is introduced and a subset of men who don’t have coping skills for not having power over other human beings, lack capacity to stand as an individual, lose their collective shit.
