" it pains me to see how, after murdering most of my family in the Holocaust, you empty the word antisemitism of meaning to silence critics of Israel’s occupation in the West Bank (the topic of our film) and legitimize violence against Palestinians"

That’s from the ISRAELI maker of the movie. Who feels unsafe in Germany. But his movie documenting the real going-ons is antisemitism? Fuck off, Germany. Sincerely, a German.

Very well written and put together. Thanks! None of this is new. But I am still saving your comment as bookmark, because it’s so concise.

Well there’s hope that it incentivices the American people to revolt or revolution. So…yay?

Just take the T

Don’t worry. The others will follow their big daddies. Germany will probably follow. And with Germany, must of the EU, unless they want to anger Germany and not get any funding…

“raises risk of war”???!? The ATTACK raises the risk of war?! How deluded must someone be to write that. Is it not war if a nation straight up shoots missiles at another country??

I know your point. Access to professional help is a privilege that few have.

I think next best thing is socialising. There’s probably groups in your area (see social media for that, meetup, Facebook, forums) that meet up and talk. I highly recommend in-person meetings. Also I tried giving my body some help with food. Carbs give you some serotonin.

Damn that’s a strong text. Thank you for that. That really moved me

The more I aged, the more “hopes and dreams” I gave up on. I guess that’s the normal human experience. You might want to be a pro in sports or a dancer or a famous doctor…but then you grow out of the age where reaching those is possible (dancing goes first…).

Other than that, I’ve given up on so many hopes, only to then later get back to them. Like the hope of connecting to people, or to make art, to teach,…those and more are things I gave up on and later readopted.

So give up hope, but it might just come back :)

Imagine saying “it dishonours the victims” to one of the actual victims

i don’t know what you’ve been smoking, but every day is a lifetime of men.

Original is 40x40 inches, oil on linen. It’s worth looking at on a big screen. Amazing work

but also we can’t welcome everyone too because the system couldn’t handle it

That’s the far-right talking point strawman. Somehow “the system” can handle billionaires not paying taxes, it can handle big corporations getting bailouts, it can handle giving billions to war efforts. But it can’t “handle” people moving? Like they have always done? And maybe we don’t need a system that “can’t handle” that. I can’t handle this system.

you either willfully or unknowingly spout far-right conspiracy theory between the lines.

migration is not only normal, but essential to the survival of the planet and each country/region. it’s a net positive. we’ve gone so far out of our way to make it a “we” vs “them”, when there’s no “we” at all. there’s just rich people protecting their interests, trying (and suceeding) to divide the masses

oh welcome culture? you mean the one where we ostracize and other families that don’t look white european enough? where we put them in camps at the border, where we let them drown in the mediterranean, where we rig the system so hard against anyone lower class so that they will never rise to anything and their kids won’t as well? where we criminalize them and then just send them to some war region somewhere? yeah…must have been the “new” far right that has soured this great welcome culture. STFU

how is it NOT 8? gotta support workers. and workers support workers. also a badger will fuck you up

Oh that’s a small fix. Thanks for the help :)

I am overjoyed!!! As I watched the Olympics I thought that all the equestrian sports needs to be replaced with hobby horsing. Let the poor horses be… The jockeys need more guts and do it all on a hobby horse

Hey that’s cool. I get my music from “all songs considered” (new music Friday), the NPR podcast.

Last thing I enjoyed was the new album “embers” by God is an astronaut.

i have problems explaining my job to myself. As I sit on the floor, painting a wall or scrubbing the floor or as I’m trying to repair a door… yeah that’s not my job description
