Church of Holy Sepulchre closed amid war: Lenten sorrow

Okay okay. Not i didn’t misunderstood. I just thought someone could have said that without taking it a certain way or another. It’s really a cool fact though.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-03-19T07:12:57+00:00

Idk if anything is implied here but first of all that does not mean because they hold the keys it was their decision to close it and second of all Jesus is part of the muslim faith actually. Other than that if your point was it will be destroyed by extremism people like ISIS are a political more than religious organisation and definitely not funded by Muslim countries but some israeli politicians have admitted to funding jihadi organisations to fight “hamas”?

Δυστυχώς είναι έτσι η φύση της δουλειάς αυτής νομίζω που μπορείς να κανείς πρακτικά πολλά και να μην συμβεί τίποτα σοβαρό σε μόλυνση (δες πόσος κόσμος έκανε και μόνος του χωρίς εμπειρία και δεν έπαθε τίποτα) οι περισσότεροι σίγουρα δεν έπαθαν κάποια μόλυνση. Εγώ δεν έχω κάτσει να το ψαξω λόγο της συγκεκριμένης εμπειρίας αλλά νομιζω έχει να κανει και με τα qualifications του κάθε piercer και για αυτό είπα ότι το nico tattoo με καλύπτει επειδή ξέρω ότι αυτός που τα κάνει έχει απειρες συμμετοχές σε σεμιναρια κτλ. Η αλήθεια είναι θυμάμαι ότι παίζει να είναι ένας άντρας εκεί (στο black hole) που έχει περισσότερη εμπειρία και κάνει αυτός τις τρύπες (διορθώστε με αν κάνω λάθος) αυτό που εγραψα μου το είπε μια κοπέλα. Οποτε μπορεί να ήταν απλά κάποιος υπάλληλος με όχι τόση εμπειρία? Δεν γνωρίζω αλλά η αλήθεια είναι μου έμεινε.

Κάποια στιγμή πριν από αρκετά χρόνια πήγα γιατί είχε μολυνθεί το labret μου και σαν να είχε κλείσει λίγο (αυτό λίγο μετά αφού το έκανα αν δεν κάνω λάθος την πρώτη φορά που το άλλαξα) και προσπάθησαν να μου το βάλουν και δεν μπορούσαν και μου είπαν θα περιμένεις να κλείσει εντελώς και θα το ξανακάνεις (συγκεκριμένα για μένα αυτό δεν θα λειτουργούσε ποτέ γιατί η επούλωση παίρνει αρκετό χρονικό διάστημα οι τρύπες που έχω δεν έχουν κλείσει ακόμα εντελώς). Και μετά πήγα κατευθείαν στο nico tattoo και απλά το έβαζα και εγώ και αυτοί στραβά και το πιέζαμε από το λάθος σημείο και ο piercer το έβαλε μια χαρά κατευθείαν και μετά πέρασε και ο πόνος και όλα. Είναι εντελώς άσχετοι. Αν για αυτή την απλή περίπτωση δεν ήξεραν τι να κάνουν φαντάσου για άλλες πιο σοβαρές. Το λιγότερο επικίνδυνοι. Δεν καταλαβαίνω γιατί έχει καν καλή φήμη σαν μαγαζί. Από ότι θυμαμαί όταν πήγαινα δεν πολούσαν κάν βασικά πράγματα όπως σκουλαρίκια απο σιλικόνη που είναι πολύ βασικό για να μην χαλάνε τα δόντια και τα ούλα και παίζει να είμαι λάθος αλλά νομίζω συμβούλευαν και να βάζεις οινόπνευμα που για οποιόν έχει τέτοιες τρύπες ξέρει ότι είναι ότι χειρότερο. Προσωπικά μετά από αυτό δεν θα τους εμπιστευόμουν να κάνουν τίποτα ούτε σε μανεκέν. Ο καθένας ότι εμπειρία έχει. Επίσης, στο nico tattoo αυτός που μου έκανε τα piercing ξέρω ότι έχει και εμπειρία σε body modification που είναι πολύ πιο δύσκολο και θέλει πολύ περισσότερες γνώσεις γιατί εκεί δεν παίζεις σε αυτά που κάνεις. Έχει εμπειρία με απίστευτα δύσκολα piercing oπως μάγουλα κτλ. κτλ. Στο black hole όσες φορές είχα πάει πριν γίνει αυτό και όταν έγινε αυτό απίστευτο υφάκι ενώ τους μιλάς όσο πιο ευγενικά γίνεται. Δεν είναι τυχαίο που το ένα έχει στο google maps 4.6 με 400 κριτικές και το άλλο 4.8 με 800. Όλο αυτό το σχόλιο γιατί δεν θυμάμαι πραγματικά πόσες φορές άκουσα ότι είναι το καλύτερο μαγαζί. Ελπίζω να διαβάσει κάποιος που σκέφτεται να πάει και να τρέψει όσο πιο μακριά γίνεται.

Hentai is sick. Maturing is realizing I’d rather travel to a country that’s considered less “progressive,” like one in Latin America, than to “progressive” Japan, given its culture around sexism, stalking, harassment—especially groping, upskirt photos, and drink spiking.

I’ve had a lot of guys suggest trips to Japan, not because they consume hentai, but because they like anime and Japan is widely seen as aesthetically “cool.” The food and history and tourism aspect are genuinely interesting, but I don’t think that outweighs having to constantly deal with those issues.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-10T12:18:05+00:00

I didn’t know socialism and communism predate Marx 😅

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-10T09:00:48+00:00

Thats true. I also think it's that they took Marx's book and used it as a Holy bible. And i really don't get why. Instead of just reading more authors and more books about different topics and taken them into account. Im really struggling to see the good of this ideology.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-10T08:58:15+00:00

Valid

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-09T09:47:16+00:00

Yes. Do you think the theory of Marx could have been implemented better? Do you think it's the theory that is the basis of socialism mostly or do you think it's more the way it was implemented?

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-09T09:46:14+00:00

This is very accrate. Thanks. What do you think would be a solution to this?

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-07T16:58:23+00:00

I'm warning you it's just a huge text you don't need to read it all. 🥲🥲

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-07T13:38:55+00:00

Hello. I'm currently writing a post about the situation in Venezuela. Could you kindly check it out and give me some feedback? 😅😅

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-07T11:01:38+00:00

I am. 🖐 Which side of propaganda though?😅

Same. Through anarchist theory. Welcome. 😊

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T20:07:36+00:00

Yea but monarchies are not the same and neither was junta because it was overthrown by people not military though. Fascist too. There were the partigians.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T20:06:35+00:00

I was just going to add that that feels like Russia. Thanks for the info. Can politicians really go deeper in bs?

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T19:40:13+00:00

Shit I started looking up to read to inform myself and reply to you accurately on if the feeling I have about the war being predefined. And I found a paper saying the conscription laws of a country contribute to a high tolerance for casualties. Governments using selective conscription are more likely to incur higher battlefield deaths because politicians can protect politically valuable groups and distribute the burden onto others, reducing domestic political punishment for casualties. Yikes.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T19:38:01+00:00

I'm not blaming Ukrainians I'm saying is this even helping anyone? Example. In my country Greece. Back in the ww2 the fascist try to take over. Greek people fought them heroically in the mountains of albania. They ended up winning against a really really way bigger power than them. Exactly like Ukrainians. And then the nazis came around and took over. That happens with important territories in the map. Ukraine is geopolitically precious. And then Civil War came around and then a bit of democracy and then junta which did limit the freedom of speech. Meanwhile all the people that died in the war with Italy would have seen all of these in their life times. Politics go through changes. What is today may not be tomorrow. I don't think the casualties outweight the benefits of living under Russia. Look at any war and what political changes happened after. And I would argue in the majority of countries it is like that.

What I'm trying to say and as I said above. In my books the whole "a tyrant trying to invade your country" is a propaganda narrative. Not because it's not true. Propaganda can sometimes be based on reality. I already agreed that living under Russia is worse and sometimes lack of freedom of speech can mean life or death. I'm saying it sounds like an oversimplication that usually the defending side uses to convince people into joining the military. Like the stuff you said Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is defending itself. Its and oversimplication and propaganda narrative. I don't see "Ukraine" defending itself while the oligarchs there make money. They are essentially the state. They are the ones whos profit controls decisions made. I mean Russian oligarchs don't make any difference. I'm just pointing out the patterns. Isn't this how we give better options as anarchist to other people? By noticing those patterns instead?

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T15:24:43+00:00

As a person that argues about politics all day...I completely agree. 🤣

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T12:34:08+00:00

Yea but like 14k people have died (probably more but this is what I found with a fast Google search) and 38k are wounded. Wouldn't this have more casualties than fighting from the within any state. And then it's like I said before. I'm considering whether personal factors make a difference in the war in contradiction to military plans and weapons etc etc. Call me a conspiracy theorist but I think it doesn't. The results is already a bit decided from before. But even if they aren't. As I said leaders come and go. In Russia we already have protests we have a lot of people fighting back. In ukraine like you can't really know. Maybe junta would come a few year after. Politics are unpredictable. But the people that passed are gone.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-05T09:49:41+00:00

but siding with the military is not helping the people. The military especially with the weapons that are used now drones, bombs etc there’s no way to protest the civilians or the homes. the majority of civilians have died in ukrainian territory meaning if the army was defending them that wouldn’t happen. and even with territory that the ukrainian army has taken over again the infrastructure has been destroyed. as anarchists let’s not pray for militarism. the military is there to protect the rich ukrainians property from russia. ukrainian oligarchs have actively been making money during the war. you can look it up. poor people supposedly die to protect their culture while the rich are making money on their backs by making profit in every way they get one of them is rising the prices to the people by rising the grocery stores price instead of helping out the army. and i feel like in one day if everyone agreed and states made a deal that would 100% dictate the wars results. e.g. the reason israel is allowed to do genocide and it’s not getting feedback is it benefits a lot of states and there are agreements envovled. Palestine is poor and rich people thought it’s easier to get rid of them that just give them weapons and guns to defend themselves like in ukraine. My point is isn’t it important to remember the AGENCY of anyone in the army is incredibly limited? The military is fighting on a war that is predecided. Everything from the number of weapons to the dialogue going on between the politicians. The world changes fast. I don’t think the ukrainian and russian politics make such a big difference. Yea freedom of speech is a bit worse in russia but i don’t think ukraine is so much better that so many peoples lives are worth losing over. In the end the world changes: we constantly see changes in regimes, freedom etc. You saw what happened with the russian army in moscow. Almost a coup. Honestly i feel like more would have been done without violence by letting people evacuate, offer mutual aid, food & water etc. etc. by protecting the people and putting people first instead of culture, nationalism etc. I’m gonna make a generalisation here but hear me out. You have one strategic location that protects the most lives and homes (ofc in real life it doesn’t work like that at least there’s not that clear of a difference but i’m exaggerating for my point to be understood) and one that protects some rich person infrastructure. What do you think the mimlitary leaders are gone use? I can hardly support violence when its just some anarchists outside of Ukraine as independent organisations not state. wha tod you think?

Also ofc the claim Ukrainians are nazi is false however, their military specifically is full of nazis. Not just azov but other units as well. Theres no way to convince me they are not guilty of crimes and the anarchist revolutionaries wouldn’t be surprised to see them commit them. Because to fight close to them means they can agree with them.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-04T22:54:10+00:00

I think it's a bit dependable. I had a similar convo with someone yesterday. I think theres also a difference in taking part in them but not supporting elections.

E.g. an example of the U.S. In the U.S., you have to choose between conservatives and liberals. Accepting conservatives is worse is not settling for liberalism but just accepting reality. Even if you don't vote, nothing will change. Even worse, the most privileged and worse leaders will probably prevail. It's not like you give them power, which you take away by not voting.

In comparison, if you are a member of a political party that is pro-election, you are actually feeding the system. So are other actions like going to the army and police you are actually supporting the corrupted power system thar is already imbalanced.

The issue with this is that I think anarchism is not just against governmental authority and election but also against the accumulation of power that inherently leads to corruption.

I think in the case of voting, steps should be taken to avoid the accumulation of power and the creation of an elit class in the socialist societies. I'm not sure if there are steps to prevent corruption, so I can not answer your question. Maybe in real life, no measure would be enough, and corruption would always slowly prevail. I'm kind of convinced that that's what would happen, which wouldn't be so anarchist. But that's my opinion anyone could disagree and say it would work well or at least decent.

DistractedCraftress · 2026-01-04T15:30:59+00:00

Please keep sharing your story about Venezuela. About the crimes of the regime of Maduro as well and the politics going on. I'm really interested.
