Η απεργία πείνας του επαναστάτη δικηγόρου από την Τουρκία Günay Dağ, που βρισκόταν σε αντίσταση από τις 12 Μαΐου, ολοκληρώθηκε με νίκη και το αίτημα του για ακύρωση της πολιτικής και αδικής απόφασης που του αφαιρούσε το πολιτικό άσυλο έγινε δεκτό.
Το πολιτικό άσυλο του Τούρκου επαναστάτη δικηγόρου Günay Dağ είχε ακυρωθεί πριν από περίπου 3 μήνες με μια παράνομη απόφαση, και ο Günay Dağ ξεκίνησε απεργία πείνας στις 12 Μαΐου 2025 με αίτημα να του επιστραφεί το πολιτικό άσυλο που δικαιούταν. Συνεχίσαμε τον αγώνα μας ενάντια σε αυτή την παράνομη απόφαση για 87 ημέρες με απεργία πείνας, χρησιμοποιώντας διάφορα νομικά και πολιτικά μέσα και δρόμους αγώνα. Σήμερα, την 87η ημέρα της απεργίας πείνας, μάθαμε ότι η ένστασή μας κατά αυτής της απόφασης έγινε δεκτή και η παράνομη απόφαση για την ακύρωση του πολιτικού του ασύλου ανακλήθηκε. Έτσι, η αντίσταση και ο αγώνας μας ολοκληρώθηκαν με νίκη.
Στην απόφασή της, η επιτροπή αναφέρθηκε σε όλες τις πράξεις αλληλεγγύης, σε όλες τις δηλώσεις υποστήριξης και αλληλεγγύης για τον Günay Dağ και τόνισε ότι ο ισχυρισμός ότι «αποτελεί απειλή για την εθνική ασφάλεια», ο οποίος ήταν ο λόγος για την ακύρωση του πολιτικού του ασύλου, είναι αβάσιμος και παράνομος.

Might makes right. Whosoever holds the power to punish, defines morality itself by their decisions.
Because to them, that's ALL morality is-- what you do or don't get punished for doing.
If you get away with it, you did nothing wrong.

Non. Franchement, non. Quand on est une famille avec 3 enfants, avec un rythme de vie occidental pressé, on fait souvent de grosses courses, oui. J'ai un vélo cargo à caisse et des sacoches, mais c'est parfois un peu juste. On s'adapte, mais votre comparaison me semble cliché et exagérée.
Oui, on peut faire beaucoup à vélo, mais votre image n'est justement pas représentative de la solution ou de l'alternative.

Superman heavily featured an awesome Black character, who was brand new to most viewers and still became THE fan-favorite out of that movie, and...this is literally part of why F4 was so uninteresting to me.
F4 is so goddamn white, and I am getting to the point where I am not super interested in all-white stories. Especially not in a work of fantastical fiction like a comic book movie.
(Yes, I do know that Pedro Pascal is Chilean—he's still white though, & I believe he himself has said so)
Once you get used to seeing diversity, it's just fucking *boring* to go back from that. It really is. I'm not virtue signaling, because I don't think it's a virtue to prefer stories to contain people of various races, ethnicities, backgrounds, genders, abilities, etc.
That's not some fucking noble, enlightened stance: diversity adds more flavor to stories. It adds different tensions & perspectives.
Sure, I believe in diversity on principle, but I also just don't want to be fucking bored.
When I see these grifters whining about Black characters & women & fat people, & people with disabilities showing up in movies & TV, I'm not just pissed off at the bigotry. I am stunned at how their devotion to the white-supremacist patriarchy stunts their imaginations & limits their field of enjoyment.
There are more goddamn stories to tell, you fucking assholes! Why the hell do you want the same thing over & fucking over again?
That's what REALLY gets me about these people.
The sheer lack of imagination. Zero sense of wonder or adventure.
The idea of anything new, strange, or unusual only brings them fear. No hope, excitement, or fun. Just fear.
I was just posting in another thread about how right-wing culture is based on might makes right. No absolute (if that's even remotely the right word) ideas of good or bad, morality defined entirely by power and punishment.
In that world, anything new or strange operates by rules you don't understand-- so you have no clue what you might get punished for. There is no sense of trust, that there might be some idea of goodness in the universe that other beings are likely to believe or recognize. So of course they're afraid!
It gets me thinking about a lot of the old mythologies, gods made of nothing but power and caprice. Their will is incomprehensible, yanking mere mortals around on sheer whim-- the only lessons, at bottom, seem to be about how you can't ever REALLY understand the intentions or logic of things bigger than you and all you can really do at the end of the day is try to eke out what power you can for yourself while trying not to piss off anyone who's big enough to squash you. That's it.
Me, I grew up with this deep belief that any deeply intelligent entity who understands shit in a big way will come to understand that it only makes sense to be cool. So there's gotta be some underlying pattern of goodness out there, beings wanting to do interesting stuff with other beings in positive ways that don't cause suffering if it can be helped. So I want to hurry and get out there and meet them. I always figured it was only logical that destructive, sadistic cultures would tend to spiral out and so whatever transcends time and space has gotta be essentially good-- although it's pretty clear right now our corner of the universe is running in a truly fucked up way, and I'm willing to believe MAYBE whatever higher power is in charge has a way to make up for that in the long run (in the meantime I'm seriously pissed off and if I meet anyone driving this I'm gonna give em a piece of my mind but if they're actually cool they'll be like hey I get it, and if they're not cool I'm going to spit in their eye on my way down) but I still have that Star Trek ideal in my soul.
But yeah. People defined by fear don't like to use imagination. Crawl back into the bliss of ignorance, regret taking the fruit of knowledge from that tree, cringe and lick the boots you must while kicking anyone you can get away with kicking because that's as good as things ever get... Ugh. What a way to live. How does love make its way into a heart that was intentionally broken that way from infancy? It does happen, thank heavens, but wow.
There are a lot of TV shows that remind me of old myths; soap operas I just can't get into, because it seems like ALL of the characters are basically bad human beings. Whole shows that revolve around nothing but people trying to screw each other over. There might be happy bursts of falling in love or whatever but sooner or later they all betray each other. Power games. Head games. Revenge.
Example, I had a really tough time finishing Breaking Bad, despite the truly excellent writing and acting, because there was almost nobody left that I could relate to whatsoever after the main character went too far off the ethical rails.
Some people seem to really just love watching assholes be assholes to each other-- I mean, see practically the entire Reality TV catalogue... I don't get it.
Then sometimes there's shows where you get ONE or two genuinely good guys, where it's clear the writers actually understand the concept of conscience to some degree, but sometimes it's just an empty caricature and too often it's a Ned Stark thing where they're there basically to show how trying to do the right thing is just never sustainable or realistic or some crap. Or it's just pollyanna fluffy cartoon crap, goodness that's all fantasy sparkle no spine or substance.
It's rare to see stories that really dig in to what it means to strive to be truly good, in a satisfying way.
Having just recently been diagnosed with autism and reading around, I'm scratching my head seeing some folks saying that a fixation on, like, basic decency may actually be an autism thing? And honestly that's spooking me a bit because if having a moral compass isn't neurotypical... erm, we're in trouble. I guess it would explain a lot but GAH you guys.
@violetmadder
Ok, I really don't have a response in terms of adding to the conversation at the moment, but I really appreciated reading your thoughts here!
I think that's a really interesting perspective, and I agree; I'm just kind of done with the stories about how the worst, most morally-bankrupt people deal with power. That's just exactly the same as what I see in real life everyday. It's time for more stories that imagine something different: the world and people as they could be.
Yeah sorry I got rambly there
I wish I'd been able to do art to help people imagine things.
Also, as corporations are getting more interested in pacifying white supremacists, I just don't want to show up for anything that is all white. Not now. I don't want them to believe we won't notice if they cut out diversity to appeal to "all audiences".
If a white supremacist wouldn't be even the tiniest bit annoyed after watching a new movie, I don't want to watch it. White supremacists are super sensitive about everything, so it's not even a high bar. Easier than the Bechdel test.

#Israel #antisemitism #Zionism
My comment:
Making Jews special is antisemitism, even if you pretend that they're by nature better than other people (of course, they aren't; they're just the same as any other group, be it the Germans, people wearing shoes of size 44, people with blond or curly hair, or Catholics or whatever). Therefore, western philosemitism is antisemitism in disguise. The obsession to constantly redefine antisemitism is itself antisemitic. In a way, Zionism itself is antisemitic : it rejects Jews that don't adhere to its ideology and purposes, in particular Zionists love to pretend antisemitism to be so prevalent as to require all Jews of the world to flee to Israel, a country that utterly fails to protect Jews, and forces its children to go to war for 2 or 3 years at age 18 (that's been even worse lately). The very concept is one of an ethnic-religious state, and naturally lends itself to be compared to the worst racist states in history. A terrible project indeed any way you turn it, if you ask me. Israel as it has become and the Zionist project is more a menace to Jews around the world than a refuge.
