archaic name for Japan derived from Middle Chinese 倭 pronounced "bow wow". but also it can mean not Japan either because we sucked at traveling and divided the world horribly in both pre & post islamic texts lmao
@pradaice
my extra favorite part is that iran has a stereotype of afghanistan speaking farsi &(/or) pashto "very harsh" and so on and that they're the ones included alongside them lmfao

and that's not even just scratching the surface of Hobby Lobby's deep, vast evil lol (famously horrible employee rights. i think there's more than Iraq they looted....i don't even know all of it!!!!!)
@suricidal
Oh and the way she ended the post……..trash human being actually. “I have my criticisms of the US army” why were they absent in this post? Lmfao
@hausofriya
Lib Ethiopian diaspora play a really good hand in giving good PR and sanitizing what little history people know of the region (and when they do, to further an imperialistic kindred spirit w whoever’s in power to align w whatever new settler state they move to)
Iran’s regime has a track record of engineering demographic changes in Syria/Iraq. We reveal how it’s now manufacturing demographic changes in Iran via Shia migration from Afghanistan to fill the widening gap between the regime & Iran’s people 👇🧵
1/ With Iran in the news, I'm going to do a brief educational thread on their history since the 1905 "Revolution".
Here's a picture of life in Iran before the revolution. She's lounging on her handwoven Persian carpet and showing her legs.
@PinstripeBungle
This is a really insane rabbit hole btw. It reminds me a little bit of the ending of حاجی واشینگتون by Mehrjui, where Richard Harrison’s character is going to attempt to start a pistachio farm in the US amidst the bleak landscape of Iranian future both abroad and at home.
@silkscythe
i barely know any arabic at all and i can tell this is a RTL schedule like we have in farsi lmfao. the way he pointed from Left to Right for the caption is so telling he has no idea what he's reading
@heshidicjudaism
can you *please* take some of the legitimate criticism of what some people are trying to tell you??? this is embarrassing and shameful....IMO!
@suricidal
not the point because ur right + said it perfectly/succinctly but the accents in every inconsequential word is making me imagine him saying this in an incomprehensible accent
well go back to the drawing board, buddy, because this post also demonstrates how deeply 45 years of anti-Iranian sentiment has cooked YOUR brain. It’s as if we can never escape the chokehold orientalism has on foreigners even from other f king Asians lmfao 🫨🔫
Iran has materially done more for Palestinian liberation and anti-imperialism than any elected US official. Mindlessly cheering for the death of Raisi just demonstrates how deeply 45 years of anti-Iran propaganda has warped people's brains.
ARE YOU GUYS ON TERYAK
RAISI WAS \LITERALLY\ ON HIS WAY TO NORMALIZE (A NON-ZERO %) RELATIONS WITH AZERBAIJAN AND THEREFORE *THE* \SIDE\ OF “OUR ZIONIST ENEMIES”
HIS SPONTANEOUS DEATH WAS AN EVEN BIGGER BLESSING THAN HAD HE CONTINUED THE MEETUP WITH ALIYEV

Buy second hand. It is so easy. In almost a decade I have bought almost entirely exclusively used devices that use rare earth minerals! There’s little need to get everything entirely new all the time, especially in this economy + knowing resource/labor exploitation required.
i feel like people need to prepare for the eventual reality of boycotting apple & these other big tech companies if we wanna actually help congo, cause as long as there’s enough demand to release a new iphone or laptop every year, the atrocities happening there will not end
i hate Finglish (Farsi+English) primarily due to lack of standardization (yes, I know there's an actual standardization. the problem is: no one f king FOLLOWS it) but I just realized it's actually kind of the best way to bypass modern censorship/flagging systems............
it has never been more clear to me WHO all those boomer manchildren writing "Life Hack: save $10,000/year" articles that amounted to "cut out Starbucks" was talking about before now
@shes_rADIAnt
im never boycotting starbucks regardless. i get starbucks every single day. i need my caffeine. i work overnight and two jobs. starbucks will never go broke because i dont allow politics to get in the way of me needing a fucking coffee.

Especially not for one that lived and worked in Pakistan which has an immense prosperity and preservation towards Persian language and poets
so unsettling to see a movie like Starship Troopers is rendered functionally redundant by today's naked propaganda, unironically, in fact. and in about 40 seconds.

I’m going to kindly correct you, because you also didn’t check the sources. Sanrio’s parent company owns 100% of Sanrio GmbH, which oversees franchising/licensing under EMEA. You are quite literally laundering Sanrio’s corporate response when queried by Japanese activists in 2010

the worst part is they keep making games about her but never bothered to redesign her. it's a horny game but the designs don't have to be so offensive. i've have personal beef w/ this game for a decade bc of it's constantly failing potential. anyways look at these other NPCs
فلسطین فن نگاییدم. این ایرانیایی که خارج به دنیا اومدن واقعا زوال عقل دارن چون بدبختیایی که ما کشیدیم رو صدمی از درصدشو نکشیدن پولاشونو مستقیم ندادن فلسطینیای مادرجنده یام یام کنن💀

@apihtawikosisan
Excuse my ignorance but that “feature” of settler colonialism is one I haven’t even heard in biased academic sources when applied to Haiti? I’ve heard it for other countries, but never Haiti? Where does one even get the idea to apply the same label to Haiti of all things?

@naagnool_
Shocked at how casual and deep dehumanization is just like this to be a part of history and the first I hear about it specifically is on X 🥴 parallels are sickening omg
@mambetysblues
I’m thinking about the uni i went to that has nothing going on rn because they already divested from Israel. However, much more complicit w Congo (+ I was barred from publishing on it). if the protests refine their demands now, then more helpful, disrupting actions will follow
@headfallsoff
you have to remember AI is shorthand for the glue that holds everything together in the first game; movement, speaking patterns, actions, light direction, etc. what did you expect when the term AI is used?
@sighyam
What a good teachable moment and it looks AMAZING🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
(Also not sure how to ask this but I think it would be really funny if you roasted or reacted to pulmuone’s pad Thai kit which is indescribably bad 💀💀💀)
idk who needs to hear this but jewish iranians make up at least (or less than) 1% of the iranian-american population in LA alone. the large majority is secular. they're one of the easiest examples of christian/non-jewish zionism you can point to lmfao
While I’m trying to figure out the logistics of sending aid to a local organizer….i’m also contemplating starting a fundraising campaign for the flooded areas in Baluchistan on their behalf
@damourhaine
@golabpapi
that accent is unmistakeable …. (Some ppl on Iranian twitter are like “she’s Armenian actually” as if that changes anything at all LOL)
Armenians are assimilated so well in Iran that there’s always at least one Armenian for every 10 Persians that joins in on the braindead racism towards “afghan refugees” (=its always targeting hazaras)
a life update . i'm no longer insecure about being part afg or not, because turns out *both* sides of my family has deep ties to Khorasan so lol i'm very secure about the connection w/o it having to be blood that ties me or something
@labsurde__
It’s really insane to me that unlike the other announcement for Ireland I believe this one is actively bragging about denying Palestinians from more support ??? wtf?????
@afgmeh
Id really love it if everyone collectively stopped taking any post from the Indian guy pretending to be a Yazidi seriously but alas his constant stream of posting bigotry is the most popular attention strategy for white westerners on here it seems
@hausofriya
I would sacrifice everything for I have for them. My internet access. Anything. Because I know millions of other ppl would rather look away and keep buying their Bluetooth earbuds and drawing tablets and laptops and whatever unchallenged.
You’ll also notice no one ever posts a picture from Mahabad or Ahwaz in these threads or in general Persian nostalgia. The self objectification/orientalism is crazy bc these Tehroonis would all be on RKOT if it was around in the 70s….
it feels like there is a marked silence on the fact that women have to cover arms/legs/buttocks/head + men require caps too . of course, it's mandatory! but i figured this would be a bigger shock/issue considering the past 2 (no 46 yrs) yrs of protests lmfao
@sighyam
yeah i keep hearing all this nonsense from there and i'm like why ......... omg. no one needs to be like this in 2023. (and tbf, for both HK/SG i get they kind of fund the coastal/naval history museums....but i just wish it could be less propaganda-y.... dickriding England)
@venusisvain
This is the attitude that will lead to feds/bad actors appropriating it and in a few years they will opine the lack of success. The signs are here now. It costs nothing to include Sudan and Haiti at the forefront too (among others). It would make them stronger???? I don’t get it
@anarchosheesh
+ they even imprison Arabs for teaching and speaking Arabic too. Something that would probably seem at odds to someone who orientalizes Arabic language phrases and conflates Palestinians with always as a red flag about how they feel about them as a people ………… 🥴
با دیدن این چرندیات اکانت گلواژه* 🤣 یاد یه چیزی افتادم.
تیم مذاکره کننده ایران رفته بود برای مذاکرات هستهای با نمایندگان اتحادیه اروپا( ممکنه دقیق نگم), یک مشت کیر برداشته بودند برده بودند، از اون طرف تمام هیات مذاکرهکننده اروپایی زن بودند. این صحنه زیبای فمینیستی و
I don't want to go find the post, but the pro-palestine Japan protests are pretty significant. For one, I was in Japan during Jina's death. They did not care + protest + just made fun of Iranians at the time lmfao
I don't feel any kind of ethical crisis voicing critical support for any state materially confronting imperialism. The standard of compulsory disavowal and demonization is never applied to the imperialist camp. This double standard is part of the dehumanization process.
between Chelsea Hart and Brianna Wu on top of actual Iranians turning to gay fascism. this has been trying times for what remains of my identity wrt Iran
I don’t get the need to make up fuzzy reasons to boycott the likes of Nestlé when there’s already a lengthy dedicated Wikipedia page titled “Controversies of Nestlé” covering everything from deforestation to slavery
@bofadibeppo
I have seen people that work for “big” companies that have strict NDAs (idk what the term is) and closed source code that work at a coffee shop public facing with their work on display to the layman lmfao . I always thought it was insane ????
آشپزی ژاپنی: هر مادهای بافت، رنگ، بو، مزه، استقلال و هویت خود را حفظ کرده و در ترکیبی مکانیکی به هم پیوستهاند.
آشپزی مشهدی: تمام مواد له، حل و تجزیه گشته و در اقنومی فراتر فانی میشوند و ماهیتشان به نفع چیستی نوینی منحل میشود+قیمه.
I honestly wonder how you even get up in the morning without tripping over yourself. You're insufferable. And you're just as idiotic and malicious as those sanghis you're talking about.
I wonder why these Sanghis never go "what about Tamil genocide". Most of the victims were Hindus and it happened just a decade earlier pretty much using the same tactics the IDF is currently deploying in Gaza.
