“The protection of white women from threats to their safety and purity has long been a rallying cry for men on the extremist fringe,” writes Cynthia Miller-Idriss in The Interpreter.

Nov. 28 is Black Friday. It’s also Native American Heritage Day, which is often ignored b/c it’s on a day to buy shit. The day before this capitalistic rampage is Thanksgiving, a day that omits the mass murder of Natives. Add that the Cowboys played the Chiefs during a colonist’s dinner party? Wtf?

Happening this weekend—Kacalisiyan Art & Music Festival on the Slope 斜坡上的藝術節 (11/29–11/30). It’s been raining the last couple of days, so expect mud & wear appropriate footwear even if sun is out tomorrow. #indigenous #pingtung (Link to more info in previous thread.)

Two things:
Firstly (and sadly), Black Friday is, in fact, Native American Heritage Day. These two shouldn’t be on the same day.
Secondly, don’t spend your $ at big box stores. Buy local. Target, Walmart, Amazon, they won’t suffer if you support small businesses. Always support a small business.

On the colonial holiday that is Thanksgiving, it’s important for white Americans to remember:
The US was built by European invaders on stolen land, via the genocide of indigenous folks and through the forced labor of native Americans, kidnapped & enslaved people and immigrants.

Him: “What do Indians do on Thanksgiving?”
Me: “Indigenous peoples? Or Indian-Americans?”
Him: “Your kind.”
Answer: Many of us don’t celebrate it at all, but we do get together. We get together to celebrate our resilience, that we’re still here, that we survived the US’s plan to kill all of us.

We dance on stolen land
We keep our ways alive
We live with trauma
Still, we thrive
They gave us November, a month
Thanks?
How about our land back?
We know, that’s asking too much
Because if they gave it back
They’d have to leave
Or genocide again
They are not the kind that will ever be pleased.

Takaichi did not enrage Beijing. Beijing chose to be enraged as a strategy for managing Takaichi. For Beijing, tantrums are strategy. The PRC has full agency and could have chosen a range of responses. It stupidly chose to lock itself into a position of rage that constrains its options going forward

The HK pro-democracy camp recognised what the Chinese Communist Party ironically did not want to admit publicly - livelihood issues *are* political
Pro-democracy parties existed to be thorns in the government’s side — true enough. But the official story, that they “politicised” everything while the establishment camp championed livelihood issues, does not match the reality.
See below for an example of how they also pushed back on local issues.

The irony for me is how Musk bought Twitter with the clear intention of capturing & manipulating the press culture there — something many journalists reported on — and yet they stay there because each assumes they can’t be manipulated… while totally getting manipulated.
This is the correct take. Stewing in white supremacist propaganda is bad for your thinking. And if think you are so savvy that it won’t impact you, you are the exact kind of mark they are slowly converting (I’m looking at you, centrist pundits).
It’s really funny how a generation will roll its eyes at parents who watch Fox News but doesn’t see why being immersed in Twitter is having the same effect. Lots of serious people show up on Fox News too but that shouldn’t be your primary source on the news.
