I finally got 1200 after bouncing between 1180 and 1195 for more than a year!!!
There needs to be more recognition of intergenerational/cultural trauma in addition to trauma that individuals experience. This isnt even an internet only phenomenon. Ive had white gentile therapists not understand it.
I’m very serious about tagging posts about traumatic events that happen in other cultures like slavery, the KKK, the Highland Clearances, boarding schools etc. because I know I have followers who are from cultures that experienced that and, since I dont know their own history with it, I can’t make assumptions that it doesnt affect them mentally. It’s really not that hard to tag. We all tag nonsense ship names that our phones cant recognize day in and day out after all.
I only know all of that stuff about SonderKommandos because I used to memorize info about the H0locaust every day as a form of self harm when I was depressed and suicidal. That’s one reason why I, again, would really appreciate if people *tagged their goddamned H0locaust posts.* I’m at the point where I want to put that in my blog description even though that might make it easier for Na//zis to find it.
Local Man thinks women can only be pretty or smart; gets roasted alive by smart, pretty woman.
SonderKommandos were forced laborers who would burn the bodies in concentration camps if anyone is curious. Most of them also died because the Nazis didnt want people alive who could tell the world the truth about what was happening. The Grey Zone refers to the moral conflict of being complicit in killing others but also being threatened with death yourself if you didnt comply. It comes from scientist and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi.
idk how you watch catws and not pick up on the fact that sam is absolutely a mirror of steve… they even straight up say it in the film.
“I do what he does, just slower”
okay we gonna do this because Sam is a reckless motherfucker that absolutely mirrors Steve’s characterization and i’m goddamn tired of people grossly misinterpreting his character b/c it fits in better with their two dimensional therapy dog version of him
Sam doesn’t like taking orders, he’s not pliant or obedient. He does what he believes is right and damn the rules (sound familiar??). Theres a reason they fucking hit it off so well right from the start.
Following that we have Steve turning up on his doorstep looking like a building got dropped on him. And what does Sam do?
Yeah sure… I’ll let a couple of avengers who just told me everybody is out to kill them into my house. Sounds like a good time. It’s also a bit telling that Sam knows exactly where his suit is. Ten bucks says he’s actually tried to steal it before but couldn’t quite manage it on his own.
And then we start getting into really no holds bar Sam:
Y’all like to forget Sam brought a two inch knife to a gun fight and won. Not to mention, he clearly walks around with a knife on him at all times… not just in his car, but on his person.
Sam gives no fucks and will take you out. Winter soldier? Bitch try it
Some hydra fool who won’t stop talking Nazi nonsense?
Fuck this guy. he’ll take him on in nothing but a fucking t-shirt.
Oh and remember that building that Steve jumped out of? Might as well top that by jumping out of the same one, just about 20 stories up.
Cool, cool, cool.
Going feet first towards the rotor blades of a helicopter, knowing if you miss your legs are mulch?
No problem.
Steve wants to track down an international maybe still brainwashed assassin?
When do we start?
And of course, this wouldn’t be complete without the penultimate Steve/Sam comparison.
So to everyone who trashes him, or does him a disservice by making him out to be nothing more than a therapist who can fix Bucky and Steve I have one thing to say. In the immortal words of the legend Samuel Thomas Wilson himself, “Man, shut the hell up.”
IN THIS HOUSE, WE APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE REAL SAM WILSON
This is the kind of treatment asylum seekers are currently facing in the United States; they are given the choice to either give up their asylum claim, which would keep their family together but be forced to return to a country wracked with violence, or be imprisoned for a year and have their child put up for adoption.
If the Liberal Party sees this and still concludes that the US constitutes a “Safe” country for asylum seekers then they are morally bankrupt on this issue.
Yet another antiRomani attack in Ukraine, this one on June 23, 2018. One Romani man, aged 24, died of stab wounds, while at least three more people were injured, including a 10-year-old boy.
AntiRomani racism is continuing to rise in Europe. This is what “Gypsy life” REALLY is. Please spread the word and try to donate to organizations like the ERRC, that actively try to help Romani communities in Europe. This is the fourth or fifth reported attack on Romani people in the last few months in Ukraine ALONE. Please spread the word and donate if you are able! If anyone has any other organizations besides ERRC, feel free to add them.
If people could spread info on this that would be amazing! We can’t let this continue.
