Hidden Hindu Temple Of Afghanistan.

When they gaslight you that hinduphobia doesn’t exists but you know your entire religion and culture was wiped out from previously dharmik lands and how your people are being persecuted in these countries even today. Spread the awareness. Call out bigots that deny hinduphobia.

Afghanistan once used to be a stronghold of Hindu and Buddhist religion and culture, today that history has been erased and the people forced to convert, die or flee. This is what happened to Hindus in Kashmir and what is happening to Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh and small pockets of India where Hindus are in minority.

It was a long time coming: An incomprehensive list of similarities between antizionism and transphobia:

An obsession with deadnames: Transphobes tend to insist on calling trans people by the name they had before they transitioned. Antizionists tend to insist on calling Jewish people who Hebrewfied their name or just changed their name to a Hebrew one, by their old name.

"If you want your own representation so badly, why don't you make it yourself?" *representation exists* "omg why do you have to shove it into our faces all the time??"

"One of the good ones", tokenization on the greater scale of hate - Queerphobes will look for transphobic LGB people to use as tokens, and nothing more. Similarly, antisemites will look for antizionist Jews to use as tokens. And nothing more.

"Your existence doesn't add up with my beliefs, so clearly you just don't exist / you're not who you claim you are"

"Actually zionism is the real antisemitism slash the reason antisemitism exists" / "Actually trans people are the ones giving a bad name to queer people"

"They are coming for us": "Trans people want to turn other people" / "Zionists want to take over the world"

Pretending to care about academic sources but actually disregarding most studies made (studies showing Jewish indiginity over the levant / studies showing the results of transgender healthcare)

"Why would you need to be defended? You are already the most protected group on the planet!"

Obviously a lot of Nazi background for both rethorics.

Pretending to care about children, oh but not THOSE children: Transphobes basic off of "protect the children" because "trans people are trying to turn out children trans", ignoring how untreated dysphoria leads to higher suicide rates among trans youth, or how a trans kid is literally murdered for being trans; Antizionists claiming to care about kids dying but cheering on when Jewish kids are being fucking murdered.

Refusing to listen to the targetted group about their own fucking experience (because clearly they're lying to achieve some secret agenda).

This might be a small thing but demonization of a flag to extreme extents: "The star of david is problematic because it appears on Israel's flag" / being "suspicious" of anything that's colored using the same scheme as the trans flag (or any queer flag in this case)

Hating on an identity trait and/or claiming it's not actually an identity trait, thinking that claiming enough that people don't exist will make it true ("Israel doesn't exist" / "there are only two genders")

Treating an identity trait as an ideology (being Israeli equating to an "evil" ideology / being trans equating to an "evil" ideology)

This one is pretty universal but telling people to kill themselves

Telling people their very existence actively causes harm

Being nosy and not minding their own fucking buisness (antizionists actively looking for posts made by Jews/Israelis to send them hate, transphobes actively looking for posts made by trans people to send them hate).

"Why make it your entire personality???"

you lot are welcome to add more

"i identify as a toaster" / "it was promised to them 3000 years ago"

"cis is a slur" / "goy is a slur"

As a society we have benefited so much from successful public health measures that we now have the privilege of declaring that we must not need them anymore

Bitch before enriched flour, neural tube defects like spina bifida were far more common. Even now, spina bifida clinicians and researchers are begging to have salt and maize fortified to reach groups that don’t use as much flour. Before iodized salt, the United States had a fucking GOITER BELT. Eleven years after the introduction of fluoridated water, a city in Michigan found the rate of dental caries among school children dropped a staggering 60%— in an era where tooth decay regularly fucking killed people

I’m literally not even going to start on vaccines, which are among the most successful and robustly studied public health measures in world history

You might say “oh well today we all have access to vitamins and toothpastes and dentists so we don’t need those things in our food supplies” and boy do white people on social media loooove to fucking say that. But here’s the thing: no, people don’t all have easy access to those things. That’s privilege talking yet again

Islamophobic: freaking out about the Arabic word jihad in the context of clearly benign spiritual practice

Not Islamophobic: condemning the militant/extremist interpretation of jihad in the context of theo-fascist Islamist terrorist Jihadist ideology

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

if you are a long term user of tumblr.com and you make "the beatles are ugly" jokes, i'm sorry but i can't take you seriously. as a lesbian who was forced to endure the deluge of gifs of every new white skinny british guy deemed a tumblr sexyman, i simply do not see the difference between the beatles and dan and phil, or matt smith, or benedict cumberbatch, or the onceler, or the fucking triangle from gravity falls. genuinely, if you ever found sherlock hot, you absolutely have no right to judge your grandma for wanting to fuck paul mccartney.

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Jason Mantzoukas sits at a table. In front of him is a small wooden box with a red lightbulb on it. He says, "I'm going to put raisins in this little hole." He inserts a raisin into a tiny round hole in the side of the box, and says, "Can't imagine this is what I'm meant to do... but there is something oddly satisfying about it." End ID.]

Every political situation in the Middle East the US gets involved in is not automatically like Iraq.

People saying it's a "lie" that the Iranian government could have nukes are seriously underestimating Khamenei's genocidal regime and slapping every Woman Life Freedom protestor who has continuously warned about the regime's aspirations in the face.

That doesn't mean Trump's actions are all "good" either- bombing nuclear facilities can have deadly consequences for civilians living nearby. It is also concerning that a leader like Trump can decide to go to war without other parts of the government ok-ing it.

But the amount of sanitizing of the Iranian regime- which has murdered, tortured, and raped countless dissidents- is unacceptable.

🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦 Pride march was held in Kyiv, Ukraine for the first time since the beginning of full-scale invasion. It's dangerous for big crowds to gather for a long period of time due to potential russian airstrikes, so the event was smaller and shorter than usual, but still important and powerful.

And if you point any of that out to those people, they will call you racist because you dared to say that there are countries in Africa and Asia which don't conform to their ideas for what those countries should be.

Ideas which often fall into either the 'magical native', 'brown/Black people are too stupid to understand [Western Concept]' or 'noble savage' tropes.

And when they don't, it's shit like 'Don't call them poor. Don't show me actual metrics used to work out which countries need to give money to other countries, and which countries get the money. It shouldn't exist' because... Problems get solved by refusing to help and sticking your fingers in your ears and going 'LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!'

Someone just said to me, 100% seriously, “the US is the most oppressive country in the world and you’re brainwashed by propaganda if you don’t see that.” Come the fuck on now.

While it certainly cannot be denied that there are certain aspects of the US and her government, just like my own country, that are horrifically, brutally repressive, especially of minorities, keeping a straight face while saying that while the governments of countries like Iran, Afghanistan, China, Russia, exist is deeply, farcically ludicrous.

People who say this are functionally no different to MAGA arseholes, but instead of AMERICA BEST EVER it’s AMERICA WORST EVER - still imagining that the U S of A is the centre of the fucking universe.

The current state of fandom is honestly nauseating to me, but my biggest ick right now are the people who say things like "shipping ruined fandoms" baby shipping IS fandom, without it your fandom dies within a few weeks shipping culture is the backbone of every long-lasting fandom.
