"Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds."
Tried, true, and tested.
Hamas has taken about 200 people (settler-colonial conscripts and reservists, might I add) as hostages, the liberals keep clamoring from the top of their high-horses. Israel has had about 2 million Palestinians as hostages for about 7 decades, upon whom every brutality under the sun has been inflicted with full impunity and no consequences. They live in the largest open-air-prison/concentration camp in the world. The same camp that's currently facing genocide by the western world's complete support.
However, liberals are calling this a "both-sides issue", one that's complicated, and that peace should be the goal. (Never mind the fact that, without any long-term and tangible solution, even if the ceasefire is enforced, the Palestinians just return to their previous condition: a concentration camp where they're slowly ethically cleansed.) Israel, on the other hand, commands one of the top militaries in the world: it's fully backed by state-of-the art military-arsenal that's supplied to it by USA and EU and billions of dollars in aid to boot. (One of the report, which covered weapons manufacturing and supply from 2011 to 2014, a couple of years back showed that the profit from the weapons supplies from EU to conflict zones in the Middle East is in trillions.)
Whilst Hamas or Hezbollah don't possess even the tiniest fraction of that, just reused and/or old equipment and many young men whose lives have been utterly destroyed in the wake of Israel's relentless, brutal, and barbaric terrorism that's singular in its savagery. So much so, that they don't even care about their own lives. That ought to be a moment of introspection for the white liberals: why would any young man cast away his life if he wasn't completely without hope? That doesn't elicit any empathy, sympathy, or even a twinge of compassion from them. No, it's the rave-party goers and settlers that get sympathy as these liberals can see themselves as partying, enjoying life, and being the "good soldiers" fighting in the name of freedom, democracy, and stability (pink-washing is a happy after-effect of this sham); and that's the heart of their racism, their inability to humanize people that experience extreme oppression.
Why? Their worlds stand on oppression; hence, it's the evil they accept, perpetrate, and endorse. Let's not mollify this reality. It's racism, oppression, and subjugation in its most violent form; and they're aware that, if Palestine wins today, they might have to face the music for their own complicity in the western world's forever wars, neocolonialism, and economic slavery. The holy-trinity of unscalable brutalities that have cost MENA over 20 million lives in just the last 2 decades, and this doesn't include the on-going genocides in Sudan, Syria, Yemen, etc.; or the deplorable conditions these righteous, white-supremacy-fueled wars, sanctions, and political over-throws have left them in. It's the tomorrow that necessitates this genocide for them, ensures their future, and sustains their worlds. If Palestine wins, their own western world is cast in doubt because one repercussion can open doors for many more. The fear of retaliation.
They want Palestine to be crushed, so that this genocide can serve as an example for uprisings to come: this is what you'd get for resisting; for fighting back; for trying to even the odds; and for, as they gloat, fucking around and finding out. They don't want a just world; no, they want a peaceful world about them, one in which the oppressed remain just that; and, if they dare to stand on their own feet, they're erased. (The media coverage and the uproar from the white world in the wake of that tiny attack on Israel ought to tell you as much: it's loud, noisy, and jarring, like a booming echo that refuses to cease, in comparison to tiny whispers that are uttered when Palestinians are brutalized en masse and have been subjected to that for decades.)
And now, they're worried about their elections. How nice. The UN shows itself to be a sham, allowing for MENA to finally see it for what it is, an ineffectual organization that's done nothing but legitimize the western world's endless tyranny. It's mask-off with these people who're liberals in times of peace and monstrous fascists in crisis that even slightly affects them. Palestine's just that threshold now, beyond which a free world exists for MENA or a free world for them. It's us against them now, and history would favor the bold.
From river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
This is going to be a graphics archive masterpost for Terrible, But Great in the effort to preserve these images. Whenever I use images linked to discord, it's always seems to be a problem.
Let's first start with some stunning fanart from the glorious Izhar. I'll both link to his post as well as his account. Please go follow and show him some love for his STUNNING artwork.
Link to his Terrible, But Great fanart post.
Izhar's artwork:
Next, I'm going to archive pictures of heights for many of the characters in TBG.
I'll update this later when other things are added.
ok dumb idea but bare with me okay?
Harry Potter who has a secret tiktok social media account and has a pretty decent following because he gives off major steve irwin vibes.
Maybe during one of the many times he is ostracized by the school, he finds solace in going on runs in the forbidden forest and he got a phone because... well why not? who is gonna stop him? He found a way to make it work on campus so what does it matter?
Anyways, he makes tik toks about the freaky things he sees in the woods but approaches them with such gentleness and sweetheart vibes no one knows if he is using a filter or greenscreen or what.
He finds some nifflers in the forest and he goes into check on them. Especially frank who is the oldest and likes to follow him around for a little while. SURE he sees unicorns and stuff but "Look at this regular bird. Just hanging out. Look how brave he is. Hello!"
and then he makes tik toks about how awful his professor is and uses popular voice overs and muggles LOVE HIM. I mean LOVE LOVE HIM.
Wizarsd have no clue because even the best intentioned wizard can't really figure out muggle tech and muggleborns are too busy trying to fit in. The few that DO know him keep their mouths shut because they are BIG fans.
Anyway. Super famous tiktoker Harry Potter and his millions of followers and he has a whole platform all to himself where he can lowkey warn people about death eaters so when they show up eventually people run or attack them on sight.
You know how dark magic made Voldie go all snake like. So imagine a dark!Harry au where dark magic makes Harry doe/stag like
Please tell if this is a thing
so gorgeous
Mermaid AU where Tom makes people drown for fun, but Harry is not affected by his singing. Since Tom won't accept defeat and Harry has stuff to do, they both think the other is annoying.
(But deep down they're fascinated).
Year 2 wouldve been so cute if someone came up to Harry, maybe extremely nervous, but it's because a lil garter snake by the woods was hurt and they wanted Harry to ask why it refused to eat the rats they were giving it until the snake could hunt again
Harry: You killed my parents.
Voldemort: Yes, but didn’t you hear what they said to me?
Harry: I was 15 months old-
Voldemort: They said, “What are you going to do? Kill us?”
Minister (Dark Lord) Tom x Personal healer Harry
like it's MY fault my love language is acts of service and all i know how to do is kill
