Speaking as a Pakistani it’s very telling the difference in media attention between the Greek boat tragedy and the Titan.
One was filled with hundreds of migrants, majorly from Pakistan who went there in search of a better life. People who are suffering due to Pakistan’s worst economic crisis in decades from rampant corruption.
The Titan had one of Pakistan’s richest men Shahzada Dawood onboard along with his son. They each paid 250,000 US dollars for a ticket. That money is equivalent to 71 million Pakistani rupees converted.
The people on the Titan risked their lives for fun. They were warned multiple times on the front page alone of the contract that this could risk death and yet they did it anyway, and they paid the price.
The migrants onboard risked their lives not for fun, but for a better future. They saw no other option, no better way and they risked their lives to provide a better future for themselves and their family.
They were risking their lives because of the rampant corruption and economic crisis in Pakistan. Corruption caused by its richest men. Men like Shahzada Dawood, who was named on the Panama Papers along with his father. Who’s legacy came from helping a Pakistani dictator in the 70s, one who helped murder labour activists.
One gets the scorn of the world and the other gets worldwide sympathy and media attention because to them? Only rich people matter.
I just realized that we have 0th dimensions- j’adore complex mathematics and science of existences
If you reblog pls tag which one you selected and if you're neurodivergent or not - wanna prove my point that movie theaters are inaccessible to pretty much everyone unless you're neurotypical.
CW: antisemitism, pale of settlement, pogroms, genocide, cultural erasure
I don't think goyim can really conceive of how much Jews actually hold back in our criticism of antisemitism in media, and when you hear us it is often because we see a dangerous message that you don't... Yet.
I have a complicated relationship with Tim Burton's rendition of The Corpse Bride. I love it as a beautiful piece of stop motion art, but it isn't what it should have been, he took a Jewish story from the Pale and with intention stripped it of its Jewish origins. This alone is incredibly antisemitic. The criticism you will hear has probably been "this is a Jewish story, it should have retained its Jewish elements" but have you heard why we feel strongly about this story?
The story of the corpse bride is incredibly important to me and was born from Jewish trauma and Christian violence. Mobs would routinely attack Jewish weddings, they would murder brides and they would bury them in unmarked graves by the roadside still in their wedding clothes, they reasoned that without Jewish wives there are no Jewish mother's. Jews are intrinsic to the story.
It is antisemitism to take our story, about our pain, at the hands of non-jews and strip it for "useful" parts, in fact it is heartbreaking every time.
We are often forced to pick our battles and fighting a battle over a movie that has already been released by a director with a cult following is not worth it, you only hear us speak up in numbers when the antisemitism may lead to another century of violence, because raising our voice means picking a fight, because so many of you already see our pain as inconvenient and it is exhausting to never be heard.
