People think that indigenous knowledge is from some magical and pure connection to the land when it's really just. Knowledge passed down through generations detailing thousands of years of mistakes and observation and experimentation. It's not some inherent part of being indigenous, it's just that indigenous people are often the ones maintaining those lines of tradition.

And a lot of that knowledge has been lost! And a lot of it was lost and then rediscovered through mistakes and observation and experimentation! And a lot of that knowledge has since been learned to be wrong or dangerous and has been discarded by the communities who followed it!

Somebody posted a short to youtube of themselves reading my post about Ea-Nasir, without asking and without linking, so as the massive bitch I am, I sent a takedown request. The thing is, if they had asked, I probably would have said yes, provided that they link back to my blog. But they didn't ask or even notify me.

Also like, let's all appreciate the irony. People on other social media platforms keep saying Tumblr is dead, but they also mine us for content. How many tiktoks and other shortform videos are just people reading tumblr posts?

It's the point where you realize being the "good Jew" for a given group of goyim will not protect you from them, and you realize you have to stand up and claim your Judaism to defend yohrself and your fellow Jews, even if it causes you danger or suffering.

"Do not think that because you are in the king’s house, you alone of all the Jews will escape."

Jewish culture is changing popular phrases to say “Moses” instead of “Jesus” because your rabbi once called something a “come to Moses” and you thought it was hilarious

So essentially, they don't truly hate that they were rejected because of something that has no bearing on their moral conduct or anything like that, and how utterly warped the right wing world view truly is.

Rather they hate that they were denied their "birthright" at the seat of power and cowardly bullying cruelty, and resent being so powerless that they instead just go and try to form their own version of the power that rejected them?

This is not a kind read on the people in question, but I don't think it's wrong, at least not on an unconscious level. When I was young and more active in progressive causes, there was a truism we had about conflict among people nominally on the same side of an issue, that you have people who want to dismantle an unjust hierarchy, and you have people who like the heirarchy and want to keep it, they just want to change their place within it.

This is of course a viewpoint that typically arises among the oppressed, for example, a minoritized group that wants to assimilate into whiteness, or minoritized man who wants to be treated like the standard white able-bodied patriarch, etc. But another form of this same idea of maintaining the hierarchy, just changing places within it phenomenon, is currently really, really, really common on the left, and that is the idea of just turning that hierarchy upside down.

Most of the young folks I am talking about in that post that you linked to, don't even understand the concept of dismantling a hierarchy and assume it is just flipping the hierarchy on its head. It's very much about the sense that they are denied a spot at the top end of the hierarchy, and forced down to its bottom rungs, so they think that the hierarchy should be flipped so that they can have a place at the top. It is very much, as you say, them trying to "form their own version of the power that rejected them."

And the logical conclusion of that are queer tankies who fantisize about running gulags.

#Honestly at this point I think these people just want the same thing as Christian churches that want all social welfare programs#to be from charities through churches#rather than the government#so they can gatekeep who gets to have their basic needs met and if you're not Christian then that's not you

Absolutely. This. There is no difference between "That's not the government's job, that's what private charity and the church is for," and "We don't need the government for that, mutual aid can take care of it." Different barn, same horseshit.

Sufficiantley advanced mutual aid is indistinguishable from government.

hey @jewishgay4il get a load of this bozo.

Leftist who doesn't have to interact with Republicans at all and isn't affected by their policies voice: yeah I just don't think it's red vs. blue. It's the virtuous proletariat versus the (((elites)))

It's genuinely adorable that you think this is a straw man and not somebody that I, and probably OP run into every half hour. The number of people who whine that "Both sides are the saaaaaaame, and the Democrats only exist to hold off the noble Leftist revolution, and voting is complicity and also fascism somehow!" is astounding. the fact that you haven't run into these dipshits makes me think you've been living under a rock. It also makes me think I would like to live under that same rock. I wish I didn't know these people exist, and I wish I didn't run into them all the time.
