Greta Thunberg X Only The Young

Ok, so here’s my take on Hozier and his band wearing Catrín/Catrina makeup (I’m a Mexican living in Mexico, so yeah, I can talk abou this, just in case anyone was wondering):

I’m not gonna lie. My first reaction was “oh, he looks so good, he’s beautiful,” etc. But a feeling of discomfort was still there. 

Here’s what he said about the painting at his concert:

I think he did it with respect and admiration, but… he could’ve done it better. He could’ve metioned Mexico explicitly, or Día de Muertos (I also think it was a mistake to do this on Halloween, ‘cause Día de Muertos isn’t Halloween’s equivalent or just a costume, it’s a culture and a tradition which is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd.) I’m not really mad at him, but I understand the anger and sadness of other Mexican fans. He could’ve done it better.

What REALLY bothers me is people saying “nice Halloween costume!,” ‘cause that’s sheer ignorance. I’m also bothered by people who say we’re “overreacting” or “it’s not that serious.” IT IS. As I said before, that’s OUR culture. It’s a big fucking deal to us. FUCK OFF if you’re saying shit like that.

I don’t think he’s gonna say something about this, but it’d be great if he ever does. He could use his plataforms to educate people, especially American ones (yeah, sorry but that’s the truth), and it really makes me sad to know that’s probably not gonna happen. 

also if you are anti johnny depp go ahead and unfollow me. the amount of people i have seen on this app that support a**er is astonishing.

if you support her i suggest you leave because i will not stand for people supporting someone who has been seen multiple times mocking, and laughing at someone else’s pain.

like a lawyer in the trial said, nobody in any of the relationships, friendships or his family members has ever said he was violent in anyway other than yelling, which is barely violence.

Please circulate this: The French government (my country) has issued a warning against taking anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, Advil, cortisone) with covid-19 symptoms, as it may cause severe cases of the disease, even in young and middle aged adults with no underlying conditions.

THATS A MEXICSN ARTIST FOR YOU

Día de Muertos Skeleton  Mexico-based artist Raymundo Medina built a massive skeleton that appears to be lurching out of the pavement on a street in Santa Cecilia Tláhuac, Mexico. Piles of crumbled concrete at the places where the skeleton is connected to the street create the illusion that it is bursting through the asphalt.

Can I get a 30 second rundown of what an ecofachist is? I don't know and you seem two. And I'm a bit nerveuse now

Ecofascism is a form of fascism centered around the earth and nature. It's very heavily based around the idea that humanity is bad for the planet (or, more commonly, that certain groups of humans— namely Jewish people— are bad) and that modern society is "degraded" because we've moved away from nature and tradition.

That "tradition" is almost always centered around the idea of a white cishet couple running a farm with their pristine white children, where the man does all the work and the woman stays at home, cleaning and cooking and making jam and popping out babies.

Ecofascism is actually really prevalent in society in other forms though, especially in the idea that mass death is needed to preserve the environment. You know those groups of people who claim that the Earth can't sustain all humans and so some people have to die? Who say that war is good because it "culls the human population"? Who claim that the planet is overpopulated and that's why there's people starving and dying, as opposed to them dying because of artificial shortages of food and water created by capitalists? Those are a type of ecofascist.

A few other dog whistles to look out for:

"Blood and soil": A literal Nazi phrase that Nationalist ecofascism was built on.

"Reject modernity": Got into this already, but it's about how society is supposedly degraded, usually referring to urban areas and the rise of multiculturalism; can almost always be tied to antisemitism.

Traditionalism/tribalism: Two idealogies built on isolation, individualism, and rejection of perceived outsiders. Very against immigration and multiculturalism.

When people say white privilege doesn’t exist, use today as an example.
