PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS IN JAPAN TAKE THE FIGHT TO GOOGLE'S HEADQUARTERS IN TOKYO
📹 Scenes from Japan, where Pro-Palestine protesters target Google's headquarters in Tokyo over contracts the company holds with the Israeli occupation and military.
Protesters targeted the tech giant over the company's "Nimbus Project", a massive cloud-computing project being designed for the Israeli occupation army and the Israeli government.
Previously, employees of Amazon and Google wrote a letter of protest against the project that was published in The Guardian back in October of 2021.
In the letter, the employees described the project as a deal to "sell dangerous technology to the Israeli military and government," and wrote that the project would "make the systematic discrimination and displacement carried out by the Israeli military and government even crueler and deadlier for Palestinians."
The devotees were hoping to meet god at the top of the tower, but what they encounter is nothing more and nothing less than their fellow man.
Beautiful
what's fun for me to think about wrt chants of sennaar is the days just after the ending: all the people just starting to get to know each other again
like, the bards likely had no idea that the warriors straight up worshipped them, to the point where they'd built their whole culture around protecting and revering them and yearning for their music. on the other hand the warriors will probably be a bit disappointed to learn that their chosen ones all think they're idiots
the alchemists had no idea that the bards, whom they considered their brothers, were living in fear of the monster that they accidentally created, nor that the warriors still even remembered them, much less remembered them favorably. the anchorites will have to confront the fact that the people below them considered them gods or magical fairies, while everyone else will now see that the anchorites are just people, people who gave up and hid away when they were needed most. the devotees were hoping to meet god at the top of the tower, but what they encounter is nothing more and nothing less than their fellow man. the warriors' word for "devotee" is the same as their word for "monster"; they were used to seeing them as subhuman. the bards suddenly have to do all their menial labor themselves bc their serfs all ran away to join the monastery. it's going to be just bewilderment on all fronts, lots of culture shock and confused translating back and forth... and the traveller in the middle, just vibing. maybe writing a dictionary
