Don’t take them off when you immediately see it. Wait until you get to a
different destination bc they’re trying to distract you by getting it
off then abducting you. Same thing goes if you find something on your
windshield, it’s a distraction so they have time to get you.
sure, when my grandfather fought nazis and fascism he was “a hero” and “on the right side of history” but when i do it im “way too sensitive” and “no better than they are”
That’s because when our white grandparents fought Nazis, it was for fear of them taking power away from other white people.
White Europeans and Americans were explicitly fine with genocide and the ideologies that led to it – a great many people, including Churchill, vocally supported most of what the Nazis were doing. Their only fight with Nazis was to maintain sovereignty from takeover.
Today’s Nazi-fighters usually have a problem with white supremacy and the antisemitism and racism etc behind it – which most of our white grandparents didn’t see a problem with and neither do many white people today.
This is why so many people don’t see any reason to stop the Nazis now, or why many others think it’s purely a struggle for Democrats or other neoliberal parties in other countries who might lose political power if they gain traction. Many people don’t see Nazis as a real problem unless they threaten the political power of other white people.
White supremacist organizations and movements have been a life-threatening scourge for people of colour and Jewish people this entire time. It’s really important that we focus on that as the real threat, or we risk having the same myopic perspective as generations past.
This was a great addition to my original post so I’m reblogging it.
First of all, if you search your blog for a tag and get zero results where you know there should be several, your posts with that tag probably haven’t been deleted; they’re just blocked from all tumblr searches including your own search function on your own blog.
So, with tumblr being super messed up and not letting us search our own blogs for certain tags anymore, here’s a quick reminder that you can use Google to search your blog instead. It’ll bypass tumblr’s restrictions.
It’s not perfect because it searches the body of posts as well as the tags, but it might help you find specific posts of yours and you can get pretty specific with the keywords to narrow down results.
To do this, just go to google and in the search box type:
site:[your tumblr URL] keyword keyword keyword
(without the brackets, using as many or as few keywords as you like). You can still use whatever Boolean search parameters you want in the
keyword section – so like quotes and minus signs for specific results
should still work.
You might get some wacky results in there, but until tumblr unfucks itself, this is a decent workaround to find old posts of yours (or of someone else’s).
CAVEAT: Your blog must have the “hide from search results” features turned off (under Settings > Visibility) in order for this to work
