  • I live in a very white area and I’m not white. I’m telling people close to me I’m in fight or flight constantly. They tell me states or the supreme Court (wtf) will block trump, or I’m not an immigrant so I don’t have to worry, or I’m somehow safer being surrounded by white people even though I stick out like a sore thumb. They feel safe and have bullshit hope and belief and can somehow forget how entirely subjugated black people have been through the entire hisory of America. I’m so fucking tired I don’t even care some days. Can’t wait to be asked what I’m thankful for this holiday.

    YES! Get to the city any way you can. If you don’t have any money see if you have something to trade or sell. Go to a homeless shelter, some have case workers who can help you. Some cities have shelters just for victims of abuse where they make sure your identity is hidden and they can help you get setup with housing and other assistance. You’ll likely have more options since you’re disabled. Your family is less likely to go to a city to find you. You deserve way better and I hope you find peace.




  • People are protesting because the cost of living is so high, they don’t give a fuck about HDI or GDP.

    The 2010 referrendem was proposed because of high cost of living and rich white people controlling everything. Plus, were they gonna get support going forward or were they expected to become independent on their own after like 500 years of being colonized?

    I’m guessing rich white people are still in control, and the protestors are mostly black. Doubt they’d send their controversial anti riot police to beat on an island full of white French people.

    They’ll squash a threat to Bitian and it’s reputation but I doubt they give a shit about the islands inhabitants, if they did they wouldn’t keep all of the money from .Io domains. I don’t know that potential security over having your own government is preferable. I’d say this is a great example of how British colonialism is still bad in the modern day.









  • “This is not cool. I already graduated, but if I was a student right now I would be livid if that was happening. Not only I can’t stop Netanyahu from bombing civilians neither can my university.”

    And a lot of students would join the protests. Like, sorry being made aware of an active genocide on your way to class was annoying to you. What the fuck? People are being raped and murdered by a state that has complete control over them while you have the privilege of going to college.

    No one expects you or your university to stop this, that’s why people protest, so that people who do have that level of influence are made to do something.
