Absolutely irritated by the way the song "Bella ciao" has been remixed and used multiple times as a base for dumb tiktok dances. I was already irritated enough when I found out that it had been improperly used in the Netflix show La casa de papel, but this is just ridiculous.
It's not just disrespectful, it's also plain stupid. Because I hate to see so many people (rightfully) defending their own culture, calling out all the people who make cultural appropriation and insulting their culture. But as soon as the culture that is being disrespected is not theirs, suddenly it's all "just a joke", "chill", "it's nothing serious".
Well, let me tell you that, it IS serious. This song was sung by Italian partisans during the fascist time in WWII. It's not a happy song, it talks about resistance, about the way young soldiers that wanted nothing but peace were absolutely aware of the fact they were going to die. It's a VERY important piece of Italian history, it's not a song anybody should use to dance.
So please, just STOP using that! It's disrespectful and stupid. I don’t even understand how some people thought it was a good idea to use that song for a tiktok video in the first place. Learn to appreciate and RESPECT other peoples culture.
And don't even get me started on those who romanticise mafia because, oh boy, I have a few things to say. 🇮🇹
if two men have sex with each other, is that feminist because no women are being sexualized, or anti-feminist because it doesn't pass the bechdel test
maybe mediocrity isn’t wrong. maybe you don’t need to be the best at everything you do. maybe you don’t need to be the best at anything you do. it’s ok to simply do things because you enjoy doing them. its ok to not want to advance in your job. nothing has to be a competition. you don’t need to be better than anyone. you can do things just because they’re fun. you don’t need to read up on the history, and know everything about it. its ok to just exist. its ok.
just realised that jinx was the product of all three of them. she was raised by felicia, then vander, then silco. sounds like felicia, leads like vander, fights like silco. has her smile, his heart and his wits. has her braid and his scruff and his bangs. she's the best of them. i cant get over it
i think queer people should be more confusing actually. i think we should make everyone as confused as possible until they give up and realize that total understanding of other people isnt the gateway to respect and compassion
all pigs must die
i haaaate when iris by the goo goo dolls comes in when i’m in a store how am i supposed to act normal when you can’t fight the tears that ain’t comin or the moment of truth in your lies when everything feels like the movies yeah you bleed just to know you’re alive
[Компромисс -- решение, которое не устраивает ни одну из сторон]
Однажды придётся мириться с больной спиной, Может быть, даже придётся терпеть мигрень; Поле проходишь один -- только сам с собой, Радуясь тихо, что солнце сменяет тень.
Окна разбитые, снятые двери с петель -- Молодость не позволяет терпеть границ: Или с щитом, или только лишь на щите, С камнем на танк, босоногим на строй колесниц.
Сломанный телом и с духом свободных птиц.
И даже когда тебе страх застилает глаза, Кто-то же шепчет:
"Мы рядом"
"Ни шагу назад"
Так что ты прячешь рога свои под капюшон, Прячешь порезы, замазываешь круги -- В нашем Инферно всё будет (почти) хорошо, Лишь потому что не можем смириться с другим.
С поля бежать позволительно только седым: На компромисс не размениваться молодым.
