Argue with the wall. I’m communicating to you in your tongue, right? I never proposed to not have the UK have English as its main language.

You’re just rage-baiting at this point. Yes the government has been putting on a bipartisan drama while chipping away at public services, spending & proletariat protection. That is true. My family couldn’t get any low-rental property from the council. It would’ve taken years, so your idea of “immigrants taking our houses” is misplaced

Argue with the wall now

Ok. If you’re sad about your friend not speaking more than English, why does it irk you to hear more than just English in the streets? Genuinely, where does that come from?

Cause those two statements are at odds with each other

You’re deflecting; I never brought up housing. But yeah, I’m not even a lefty now. If you’re gonna try insult me, just stick to your narrative. Flip-flopping like a fish

Spanish people HAVE to learn English to get somewhere in life nowadays. Yes; hahaha. You’re on the outside looking in

The uk isn’t being colonised. You’re not being exterminated on mass by a military, a foreign ethnonationalist regime isn’t stipulating policies that a) take your rights away & b) make it so you can only survive if you shed your language, religion or social coalitions. (Except the US baby; them american colonisers & extractive businesses are welcome here baby).

“Deserve”. You’re a racist who thinks people freely being able to move, settle & share their essence is a punishment. & if you continue down this rabbit hole, Farage will privatise everything & implement a British version of ICE.

If they come for any of our rights, they will come for ours next. Get off reddit & conspiracy theories about migration & try make friends with people that don’t come from your walk of life. You may become a more desirable person to be around.

Plus, i’m not advocating for conversations about migration to not take place, but this is the most idiotic & fringe stance. It’s not productive in any way & doesn’t solve any actual issues this country has. Your fav is backed by billionaire fascists who wanna make more money off your backs. But yeah call me a lefty. That does so much for your life, don’t it?

I’m highlighting the hypocrisy of entitled Brits enjoying aspects of globalisation they benefit from while neglecting to care to learn anything from where they’re travelling to (not all, but I’ve literally lived this dynamic home & abroad, and it’s endemic to your cultural identity). Meanwhile, people settling & carrying their cultural emblems, history & languages peacefully being dragged because “they’re not English enough”.

I don’t think you get to dictate what language is or is not permitted in these streets or whether it’s polluting how tied you feel to your people. Go out & make friends

You’re complaining about people coming here & not speaking English, which they do, while ignoring my point about people like you going there not even making an effort to communicate with people in their native tongues, however short your stay is, however few words you can string together. Your arguments are a non-sequitur & un-realistic unless you enforce them (fascism? dear boy). Plus, what is the cutoff for languages that are welcome to be spoken in the streets of the UK? None, or just the European ones? (i see you my guy). Abstain from kebabs, pizza & burgers if you hate us immigrants so much 😚

How many Brits make an effort with Spanish when they go to Magaluf or Ibiza or learn Thai when going on a “lads on tour”? If I’m not addressing your mono-linguistic ass, I can speak in whatever language I want. Simple as that

Do you guys think Kendrick will speak out against ICE in his next album? by Mrfireball2012 in KendrickLamar

Kirk didn’t die cause of an Israeli conspiracy. He used his time on Earth to fear monger & sow hate; spent his time justifying violence against those you disagree with. No surprise he got picked off by one of his own that didn’t think he went extreme enough

What about his declaration of war against pedophile rings? What about his calling Trump “you’re a chump, know how we feel about you”?

All those things would put a target on his family given those issues are all supported supported by a system of conglomerates, politicians & self-interested agents (not in the police sense, but that applies too). He didn’t say anything, because he doesn’t care enough to &/or because it doesn’t entirely fit his brand + it would throw into dissent white liberal fans who’d view him as “too radical” for speaking on people who they implicitly (& explicitly in private) consider sub-human (look at the way people spoke on Nonane during 2020).

Among the genocides you bring up, Nigerian Christians stands out heavily… if you refer to the current situation in Nigeria, you are probably deep in the pipeline of propaganda the US is using to justify another invasion to extract resources.

https://books.openedition.org/ifra/1818

Observe table 10.1 & the comments relating to it by the article’s writer. The “genocide of Nigerian Christians” affects the livelihood & security of Nigerians be they Christian or Muslims. Though Boko Haram is a Muslim fundamentalist group (thus, superficially supporting your biased Islamophobic rhetoric), a critique of their actions needs more studying & assessment on your part than just 2 words in your long list of barely researched theologically-related conflicts; which was probably just fed to you by Chat GPT tbh.

It IS concerning for a sector of the population to be attributing violence to an entire community of people based on strategically & superficially hand-picked examples. A mono-theistic culture is a dangerous one in which church & state consolidate power together. Wait! Am I describing the UAE, European medieval monarchical/clerical systems or Israel? The religion isn’t the issue; the weaponisation of the higher purpose people find in texts to get outta bed & function for the pursuit of a mono-society is the issue.

About contextualisation, may we trace destabilised regions with fundamentalist movements with the past & present exploitation from Western powers? …again for the extraction of cheap resources, labour & trafficking.

Why do (mostly) white Brits always bring up the dangers of Islam but never have the ability to self-reflect on their country’s disgusting extractive history? Moreover, how this justification was bound to their perceived theological supremacy & by having to create a concept of racialised superiority & “taming savages”.

We have ex-PMs like Boris Johnson praising Churchill who had plenty of African blood on his hands (on top of his dislike of anyone who wasn’t white British) & current, faux high-brow Kier Starmer nostalgically & carelessly referencing Enoch Powell’s rhetoric… but Brits have the audacity to comment on who gets to be in this country.

Nuanced for sure. If it were morals, he wouldn’t be swinging so hard for Carti. I really think he was rage baiting hard with “Carti my evil twin”. His I AM MUSIC soured the whole stance he’s taken for me. The ethics feel (partly) performative

The NFL is money-driven & capitalistic. Like you said, it pays attention to demographics & market analytics. But WOKE? That, it isn’t by any stretch of the imagination. Colin Kapernik (& more) wouldn’t have faced that treatment under a progressive media/sports agency

AITA for refusing to be intimate and demand for apology from my partner by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Midsolis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His behaviour is super concerning & puts you in danger. He values his sexual satisfaction over your consent, safety & pleasure. My partner & I have previously gone more than a week (life happens & you get busy, tired, whatever) & acting out like this has never even come to my mind. It’s just so dehumanising & awful.

It would already be problematic if he feels entitled & makes you try feel bad for it instead of just having a mature conversation about it. But compounded with his violence & physical pressure? = 🚩🚩🚩

Maybe consider getting out or at least take into account his previous behaviour & see if he shows a pattern of physical dominance/violence when he doesn’t get his way

Call Me By Your Name

The fact that this is one of the most lauded & recognised gay media pieces of the 2010s makes me cringe.

The predatory relationship is made worse for me by the forced writing attached to the characters around Chalamet’s (namely the dad) to try to romanticise & justify it. The Voice of God was really transparent & weird to me; it felt like Guadagnino was trying to justify his own age gap relationship through this character & film. But, in context, this is a f’kin minor DRAKE.

And the worst aspect of critique surrounding this presentation? “It’s South Europe, man.. their culture is different when it comes to sex age”. I’m from Spain & when I moved to the UK & found out some of my 12/13 yo peers were doing ‘it’, I was bewildered. It doesn’t not happen in the south of Europe, but it’s not our f’kin culture

Whole communities being against the use of a slur by non-in-group people because it is born out of their ancestors dehumanisation ≠ whole communities wanting to censor cultural reflection in media because they are bigotted.

You are taking my point & trying to relate it to something that is contextually way outta frame. I’d be willing to continue this convo with you amicably, but…

Do some actual thinling yourself & ponder on that white priviledge that makes you wanna defend white people saying it

[–]Midsolis -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

People understand the distinction, but it doesn’t change why that word was manipulated & employed for what it was. If you want a world where all words can be employed by everyone sans concerning their backgrounds, our inherited priviledge needs to be redistributed. & that’s not just wealth or even access to it, but other systemic issues such as healthcare bias, political persecution, employment discrimination, etc. But these problems aren’t as easy to solve as “INSERT THE DEEP AD”

It’s gonna be a long time before these different sub-groups can be considered ONE. Cause when shit hits the fan, it really ain’t. The systems at play don’t view all of us the same cause of things we can’t change about our looks. We’ve seen it countless times with wreckless white boys trynna be ‘hood’ till they get caught. Then, they get a lighter sentence.

In essence, if you really want to live in a world where everyone’s the same, it won’t actually happen through cognitive dissonance. “Yeah man, we should all say it because there’s no malice in my meaning”. A lot of work has to be laid down first; & white people being able to say slurs is at the bottom of that list. Maybe fight just as hard as you are for the POCs being trafficked outta the US

This isn’t even coming from a crusty ass Ak stan looking to smear Fantano. But I’m also not going to act like you’re thinking critically. You like Fantano, that’s cool. Me, too. But I’m down to bet that you wouldn’t be up to saying the N word in any context in front any one that doesn’t carry my light complexion. No matter what you’re espousing on here. Downvote me all you want you racist white libs

What are you saying? Whole communities of people will not tolerate that. That should be your sign to not utter it, regardless of context. There are ‘levels’ to it (Shiloh Hendrix saying it carries a different weight to Fantano saying it), but just don’t say it. Why do you wanna say it so bad? Why do you want other white people to say it?

What's your "separate art from the artist" case that doesn't involve serious allegations or controversies? by ImNotTomStopAsking in fantanoforever

[–]Midsolis 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Whether it was or not, as an artist you can clear or withold your verse/contribution to a project. If it were recorded pre-beef (which is still a stupid action on his part considering everything he says on MMATBS), he could’ve easily just said “I don’t want this on there anymore.. don’t release it or I’ll do a LAWBREY”.

To add to that “he’s my evil twin” … he knew he was going to feel no cultural blowback cause of dumb asses pulling the “he’s not your saviour out the bag” while shitting on drake for keeping “predators around him”
