this has to be satire or a bit. if they really knew anything about either cause, they'd know that these are mutually exclusive and like polar opposites
I think spoonie culture is a little cringe but wtf are you doing appropriating the language of chronic illness to describe your entitled colonizer mindset? Fuck off.
It's literally not even like the context you use that shit in, you have like too few spoons to be able to wash up after dinner or shit like that, if you are spending spoons on literally just passive sympathy for a political struggle then you're operating in a new dimension of cutlery theory.
Lol what, it's a military outpost of the imperial core and I'm a core dweller, I am well within my rights to criticize the horror I am forced to help subsidize.
I feel like when the idea was first introduced it was a helpful metaphor, but now it’s a weird token of victimhood? As a person active in the CI community when I meet someone who self identifies as a spoonie I roll my eyes and prepare to be exhausted.
iirc the "spoons" thing started with (or was popularized by?) a youtube video about mental health, which used an analogy where you start the day with a set number of spoons, and the spoons represent how much mental energy you have to accomplish tasks. During the day, you spend your spoons in various situations, potentially running out of spoons if you overexert yourself. Conditions like depression are said to reduce the number of spoons you start the day with. The analogy helps some people to not beat themselves up for struggling to get through the day.
That’s basically what Japanese fascism is lol. They believe in the Jewish cabal, but the only reason they hate Jews is because they want to be the cabal and want the Jews’ status of world overlord
Based on the evidence, I'm guessing its a young Israeli who is pro Palestine making a cheeky joke. Something like an American calling themselves an imperialist communist.
a tiny taste of the oppression Palestinians have faced for decades and she's ready to abandon support— because she never really supported them, she just wanted to personally excuse her complicity with Zionism by feeling bad about it
This is completely off-topic, but I’m still OOTL on why some screenshots these days have a filter applied to make them look underwater. What’s up with that?
I'm actually wondering ... what if Israel instead ended up like post-apartheid South Africa (with or without the Western baggage of IMF reforms and the context of the end of the 1st Cold War)
