not to be a pessimist on the main blog, but i struggle with the fact that even the most radical leftists i know have almost all gone back to life as usual without wearing masks in public. people who I’ve sat in community with and talked about changing the world, just to see them not change a tiny aspect of their life to protect vulnerable people.
yes, we’ve been structurally failed on every level of this pandemic. and also yes, i can’t take someone seriously in their ideals and morals if wearing a goddamn mask in public was too much for them. i could rant about this more but I’ll just get upset lol.
please wear a mask if you’ve stopped doing so.
people in the notes who want to try justifying why they stopped wearing masks: this post isn’t the place for you to do that, babes. it is straight up unethical not to wear a mask in closed, public quarters, and if it makes you feel bad to hear that, well. sorry. deal with those feelings on your own time.
i know shame doesn’t work as a motivator and i am truly not trying to shame anyone. at the same time, there’s a special kind of horror i feel at the fact that we’ve been told by experts that masking can help to save lives, especially the lives of disabled folks, and most people collectively have shrugged and gone “ehhhh no thanks. you see, it’s slightly inconvenient for me.”
so um….looks like Bradley Cooper (goy) has been cast to play Leonard Bernstein, a Jewish man, in his upcoming film Maestro (a biopic about a real Jewish composer). rather than hiring a Jewish actor to tell a story about a Jewish man, they cast a goy…who will be wearing a prosthetic nose.
and if that weren’t enough - they cast Carrie Mulligan, an Irish woman, to play Leonard’s wife…who was a Latina. and Maya Hawke, a white woman who is neither Latina nor Jewish, has been cast to play their daughter.
AND don’t forget that Bradley Cooper grabbed the rights to Bernstein’s music before Jake Gyllenhaal, A JEWISH MAN WHO WAS GOING TO MAKE A BIOPIC ABOUT BERNSTEIN, was able to. we could have had a respectful biopic about a Jewish man, told by Jews. instead we get this.
i…don’t have words to explain how insidious this is. the absolute goydacity to keep a Jewish man from telling this story, whitewash the other people in a true story, and to cast a goy instead of a Jewish person to tell a true story about a Jewish man, and have that goy wear a prosthetic nose. they would rather Jew-ify a goy than cast an actual Jew. i’m disgusted.
Left: Composer Leonard Bernstein. Right: Bradley Cooper and the world’s worst fake nose playing Leonard Bernstein in the upcoming movie Maestro.
like holy fuck this is actual anti-semitism literally all you had to do was hire a Jewish actor. ONE JEWISH ACTOR, HOLLYWOOD, IT’S NOT THAT HARD.
Bradley Cooper is the Ron DeSantis of desperate to win an Oscar. the harder he tried, the more I hate him.
omfg
A reminder of what Bradley Cooper’s nose actually looks like when compared to Leonard Bernstein’s:
Literally zero reason a fake nose was needed. This is bullshit. And it’s Cooper’s “passion project” okay. This is very important to note. This is a project he considers utterly necessary to his artistic endeavors, and he not only didn’t cast a Jew to play Bernstein, he’s wearing a fucking Halloween costume nose.
Please don’t forget, Bradley Cooper pretty much stole the exclusive rights to the Bernstein biopic from Jake Gyllenhaal - a Jewish man - who has said he’s been wanting to tell this story for twenty fucking years.
people will go around associating having a lot of body hair not only with being “masculine” or unattractive or whatever but also with being aggressive, stupid, “subliterate,” primitive, unclean, unkempt, and potentially contaminating somehow. and then insist that their ideas about body hair have nothing to do with racism merely because they didn’t explicitly mention race.
Jesus fucking Christ dude. A house show in Minneapolis got shot up. Two guys walked up, unloaded into the crowd, and ran off. One dead and six injured.
Yeah. Okay. News stories were kinda making it sound like it was more Senseless Minneapolis Urban Violence, but folks that were there are saying this seems like a targeted attack on the venue and the scene for being trans positive. My fucking hometown scene got hit by a fucking terror attack.
so yeah that fire in Lahaina, Maui? That was what indigenous activists were trying to prevent. That is why Land Back movements wants indigenous people to be the stewards of the land that was once theirs. Not kick out white people and settlers. But to prevent shit like that where a bunch of tourists/settlers won’t destroy the planet in their ruthless pursuit of productivity and profit. So yeah, think on that.
People are asking how was this white people fault?
Power lines, in Hawaii they are owned by Blackrock and Vanguard, keep catching on fire because they forget to turn off their shitty electricity. So when they eventually topple over, white people forgot to cut the Guinea grass planted by colonizers 200 years to feed cows which changed Lahaina from a a swampland to the fucking tinderbox that it is today.
But hey, grass is grass and no need to mow an invasive species, right colonizers? Oh shit, that global warming that these fucking oil companies spent decades telling us wasn’t real is real and that dried up the land in Maui?
Now motherfuckers are trying to buy land off of the indigenous people in Maui because colonizers just love having part time homes, right?
But yay let’s celebrate the fucking billionaires who own homes in Lahaina because they are donating. Nope, no fucking correlation there right?
Indigenous Hawaiians have been saying how tourism is killing their islands for over a decade yet you fucking assholes keep mentioning how Tourism is the point of Hawaii as if that culture wasn’t just about living instead of living for profit.
They don’t want you there but you fuckheads insist of making it your timeshare goal. So yeah. It’s absolutely settler’s fault that this shit happening.
I respect and support my fellow Kabru-lovers, even if I don’t ship him with Laios, I know this meme is funny with both Mithrun and Laios, so here’s version 2. Me 🤝 Labru Shippers
