Say no to imperialist "feminism": Celebrity Angelina Jolie wrote this with NATO leader Jens Stoltenberg, calling for NATO to be a "leader" on women's rights.

NATO destroyed Yugoslavia and Libya and supported European fascists during the Cold War and today
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
NATO destroyed Libya — which had once been the most prosperous and equal nation in Africa — reducing it to a failed state which now has open-air slave markets where sub-Saharan African refugees are sold for a few dollars

This is what NATO truly represents

NATO produced a f(l)ashy film that portrayed the Forest Brothers, Baltic former Nazi collaborators who had declared a loyalty oath to Hitler, as "freedom fighters" and anti-communist heroes because they fought the Soviet Union

Proud NATO and EU member Lithuania just built a monument in Chicago celebrating a US-born Lithuanian Nazi collaborator who led a fascist militia that massacred Jews in the Holocaust, heroizing him for fighting against the USSR.
thegrayzone.com/2019/05/15/nat…
Portugal's fascist dictatorship was a founding member of NATO.

The ridiculous propaganda claiming that NATO supports "democracy" is totally contradicted by the fact that one of its founding members was the longest-ruling fascist dictatorship in Europe.

@BBCBreaking While Western corporate media propaganda portrays the anti-China protesters in Hong Kong as "progressive," they are violently breaking into the legislature and hanging up the flag of the genocidal, racist, mass-murdering British empire — which colonized HK
@BBCBreaking Here are photos of the colonial British flags that anti-China protesters in Hong Kong (a British colony until 1997) proudly brought with them as they violently broke into the legislature

For much of the world this flag is a symbol of genocide, murder, racism, oppression, robbery
@BBCBreaking Some of the main so-called "pro-democracy" (actually more like pro-colonialist) groups leading the anti-China protests in Hong Kong are funded by the US government's soft-power arm the NED and the Western NGO-industrial complex

"With Huawei sanctions, US intensifies technological war on China" — Excellent analysis from @newsclickin

"This is really opening a new front. And here the issue is to push Huawei cellphones out of the market, particularly out of the non-Chinese market"
US sanctions on Huawei are "not a part of only a larger trade war; it's a technology war."

This "punctures the Silicon Valley argument that the companies of Silicon Valley, Google, Facebook, were truly global, and not beholden to any single government"
Huawei was leading the world in new 5G technological breakthroughs, and could have overtaken Western corporations in controlling global 5G networks.

"Now they've been held back because of the US telling all its allies not to buy 5G equipment from Huawei"

This is the genocidal racism of imperialism: 1/3rd of the US population would support "preemptive" nuclear war on North Korea—even knowing it would kill 1 million innocent people

This genocidal imperial racism is promoted by the US gov and corporate media
newsweek.com/us-support-nor…
North Koreans see the US as no better than Nazi Germany—except the US won the war and terrorizes the world

Some genocidal Americans surveyed said they prefer nuclear war "to end North Korea," because "It's our best chance of eliminating the North Koreans"
newsweek.com/us-support-nor…
In the survey, when the number of expected North Korean deaths from US nuclear war "increased from 15,000 to 1.1 million, preference for using nuclear weapons among respondents who favor the death penalty INCREASED from 38% to 49%"

Little Eichmanns.

ON MUSLIM #FEMINISM

One of the major breakdowns in communication between #Muslim #feminists and critics thereof is the implicit misconception that the latter have not or do not face issues around women's rights. This is largely due to yet another misconception: 1/6
the inaccurate claim that critics of feminism do not believe there is a need to fight for women's rights.

Having said it innumerable times, it remains a point that falls on deaf ears: to be critical of feminism is neither a lack of empathy, nor a dismissal of 2/6
the plight of women within the ummah. Across the global Muslim community, there are female critics of feminism who suffer injustices and who fight for their rights in ways that align with Islam. 3/6

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

"Footage online seems to show the capture of the “Portuguese mercenary” pilot whose fighter jet was downed by the Libyan National Army. He is seen being questioned after his plane was shot down, & later reveals his alleged name."

Feminism Is Not Here To Help Men.
As a feminist one of the question I get frequently from men whenever I'm talking about feminism is "does it also speak up for men"?...

#Athread
first I'm going to say, why do you have to be so fucking selfish, like you don't need to directly benefit from Justice to speak up against injustice, do you? And patriarchy on its own is injustice against women...
so why do you want this to be about you before you identify with it?

And now to answer your question, NO.

Feminism is not here to help you.

I know you've heard that feminism is about equality of both sex, which undoubtedly is true...

For the last 24 hours I've been texting & calling with refugees in Libya. 500 are apparently stuck in a Tripoli prison w/o food & water after heavy fighting broke out two days ago. They say their guards ran away, leaving them alone.
These refugees are men, women & children. They tried to cross the Mediterranean earlier this year, but were found by Italian boats, who turned them over to the EU-backed Libyan coastguard, who put them in prison. The conditions were already terrible before the fighting started.
Oh the phone earlier I could hear children crying & what sounded like bombing in the distance. The refugees say everyone's incredibly frightened. "We hear machine guns, tanks, big bombs, last night from the roof it was all fire."

SJW-English Dictionary
@Zemoeki1
Having trouble understanding what SJWs say?

1. You're not alone.
2. It may be simply a case of misunderstanding. They speak their own language, the beauty of which lies in its simplicity.

This dictionary helps you translate SJW talk into English and achieve word peace.

2. quotas to ensure preferential treatment
