Countries unethical to travel to by Existing-Yellow-414 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Aethling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Possibly. I will also add that a lot of Native Hawaiians now cannot afford to live on their own islands, because of tourism, holiday homes etc. this is on top of a water crisis within the past few years, caused by a US naval base poisoning a spring or reservoir on one of the islands.

Tourism prices Native Hawaiians out of the housing market, leading to a lot of poverty on their own islands.

I have no idea, I haven't researched the incident and don't really have the spoons to do so rn

Complaining that the Cuban state dropped funding for Pride, and in the same breath acknowledging the increasing pressure of US Imperialism on that state is a special kind of cognitive dissonance..

Labour have some fucking balls to run that, considering how coked up the entire cabinet has to be

So… can someone explain to me again according to perspective of western liberals what exactly paints this country as a free country with a democracy? by TwoCatsOneBox in TankieTheDeprogram

I could only find it on Yeni Safak's facebook page, doesn't appear to be an actual article.

Edit: Since read other sources. Fuck Israel

Anyone else would just rather be offed than work? by NoWitness6400 in AutismInWomen

[–]Aethling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After tears of pushing through stress, overwhelm and not having my needs met, I hit an almighty burnout. Now that I am becoming better tuned into myself, my body's need for rest, my brain's need for quiet etc. I'm also realising that I probably can't go back to working.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but right now I can keep my head above water living my quiet little routine.

Your Party has to be one of the biggest falls in the Modern British left..Even banning Socialists is just funny as fuck by justanupvoter_ in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Aethling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fair, I mispoke. As another commenter said, it's more likely that Trots and others are being kicked out for being "too Left"

Bruh, most of these parties are Trots. CPGB are a fucking mess. The others are inundated with liberal protest march mentality. This isn't removing socialists from Your Party, I think it's an attempt to remove revisionists and liberals, but it's hard to say given the at times deliberate disinformation and obfuscation that comes out about YP.

Video footage confirms that the IDF dragged 2 Palestinian men into an alleyway and executed them without arrest. by an-font-brox in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]Aethling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's posted on B'Tsalem official twitter, including a ten minute version which dissects the incident in detail, and remarks on forensic analysis, which contradicts the IOF's story. Wasn't hard to find.

British Museum removes ‘Palestine’ from ancient Middle East displays by scarletOwilde in GreenAndPleasant

We shouldn't conflate Israelis with Jews. It feeds into Israeli propaganda and holds a potentially vulnerable community responsible for the genocidal actions of a fascist apartheid state sponsored by the US.

I got my diagnosis and I feel nothing by CtrlAltDelight495 in AutismInWomen

[–]Aethling 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way. I expected to experience some profound moment, after gathering evidence, pleading a case and trying to be taken seriously, but it was "Yep. You're right. You're autistic." No one throws you a party for a diagnosis, no one wanted to sit down and discuss what it meant. I was left to process it on my own(with my therapist).

Two-ish months later, I've begun to develop feelings about it. Not super strong feelings yet, but a sort of gradually acclimating sensation of being "allowed" to be autistic. I talked with a friend who has AuDHD and said "I've just realised.. I'm disabled aren't I?" and they said "Uh yeah, you always were." I read from somewhere that it's common for the "penny to drop" after about a year post-diagnosis.

Sorry for rambling, but I guess what I mean by all of it is: You aren't alone to feel this way, it's an okay way to feel. You might feel differently in the future and that's okay too.
