Listen, I- I Cant Help But Think Every Time I See Will And Eddie Interact In Fics, That Will Would Not

Today, July 22nd 2021, marks ten years since the domestic terrorist attacks in Norway that made not only the whole country stand still, but sent shock waves all over Europe. Eight people died as a result of a bombing in central Oslo, and 69 people were murdered on Utøya, an island west of the capital. The attacks have been considered the most terrible in modern Scandinavian history.

Anders Behring Breivik, a Norwegian right-wing extremist fuelled by the anti-immigration and white supremacist conspiracy theories he had read online, decided to take matters into his own hands and put a stop to what he saw as an Islamic takeover of European society (“Eurabia”) and the promotion of “Cultural Marxism”. The enemy in his eyes were the ruling party, who he believed were enabling this change through immigration and multiculturalism as well as the disestablishment of a strong patriarchy. Before carrying out his deeds he had compiled a manifesto, spanning over a thousand pages, of mostly stuff he’d found online but also by well-established right-wing authors. This was e-mailed to many people in power some hour before the bomb, hidden inside a car parked near government buildings in Oslo, went off, alarming many citizens and injuring hundreds.

A bit after five in the afternoon, Breivik arrived at Utøya disguised as a police officer. Utøya is a small island owned and utilised by AUF, the youth offshoot of the Social Democratic Worker’s Party, who were holding their yearly summer camp at the time. Armed with a rifle, Breivik went on a massacre for over an hour before real policemen arrived to arrest him (delayed due to a lack of ways to get to the island), forcing all the summer camp participants to run and hide as their comrades were injured and killed. At least a hundred were physically injured, far more were mentally traumatised by the event. Many of those who died were young, the majority still in their teens.

It’s easy to paint Breivik as a lone madman, an unstable individual who is now safely behind bars at a maximum sentence. But through his manifesto we see his many connections to people and movements all over the world. He describes himself as a conservative nationalist, a fascist and a “counter-jihadist”, and cites authors Bat Ye’or (Gisèle Littman) and Robert B. Spencer, the American Tea Party movement, and blogger Fjordman among others as inspirations. He approves of the Hindu nationalist efforts to expel muslims from India, Geert Wilders of the Dutch right-wing Party for Freedom, and Israel waging war on Palestine. How can he be a sole extremist when are many people sharing his views? How can his massacre be an incident, an anomaly, when he himself claims to have been inspired and radicalised by the writing of others? The attacks cannot be separated from the politics that created them. At the time, the Norwegian political discourse was very centred around immigration, with far-right parties gaining more sympathy and other parties pandering to this by also starting to discuss immigration as a “problem”. When nationalism, xenophobia and islamophobia become ever more widespread and legitimised as a “point of view” in society, the more rampant the extreme utterances become. Many right-wing conspiracy theorists speak of genocide as a last step, where government takeovers in order to stop immigration and deporting those of unwanted ethnicities are first on the agenda. Breivik intended to help this cause by murdering members of the ruling party who he believed were bringing on the downfall of Western society. This should have been a warning, but ten years later fascism is still on the rise all over Europe (and the world!). Some places are close to, if not already at the last, horrific step. One terrorist being locked up does not put an end to this development. But it might not be too late to learn from it.

Hey so we are still pretty screwed (updated post)

So the situation here is pretty bad and im making a new post partly cause the other has lost traction and because it's out-dated.

Hi i'm Vivi and I am pretty badly disabled. I have formal diagnosis for my disability finally after several years of trying to get doctors to take me seriously.

I am completely unable to work traditional jobs. I stream on twitch but that provides next to no income and I am currently trying to get on social security disability benefits but that is a long and difficult process that very well may never come to fruition.

I am also in a lot of debt, $6,200 of debt to be exact. If I can get this debt paid off I have a real chance of living a mostly comfy life despite the fact that im unable to work.

I've exhausted every other avenue I have for getting help which is why i'm begging here. I hate that I am having to do this and I can't just go out and do everything myself like i could when I was still able to function in society.

I am becoming more and more desperate with each passing day. I will post all of my various payment links below if anyone is able to donate it is greatly appreciated as I really can't do this on my own anymore.

If you DM me maybe we can work out something I can do for you in exchange for assistance. I'm no artist but, i have an ok camera if nothing else. I'd do just about anything for some help at this point.

I'm trying to be a lot calmer making this post than the old one but I do need to stress that the situation is getting worse every day with interest and the stress it's putting on me.

If you can help or even just share this so maybe someone who can will see it my links are:

Reblog if you love bowuigi

“wow i can’t believe a trans cat girl hacked and leaked the no-fly list. the way we came about this information is so absurd, it’s funny” 🤝 “the actual information that was leaked is abhorrently racist, specifically towards middle eastern and south asian people. that is absolutely not funny and needs to be spoken about without the absurdity of the situation dominating the conversation”

I might be overanalyzing this

But why is Bowser smiling?

Like he literally just kidnapped a man he's NEVER SEEN and dominates him TOWERING OVER HIM saying 'yeah I'm gonna rule the World and I want you to tell me who's the man that looks like you'. And what does he do to threaten him? HE CARESSES HIM AND GENTLY PULLS ONE OF HIS HAIR

Like that's the biggest non-scary (don't remember better adjectives to express what I mean) threatening I've seen in the history pf movies. It's not even "because kids are going to watch the movie and the directors don't want to make Bowser look too evil", because those SAME KIDS have seen Bowser pollute the World out of anger (Bowser's Fury which I've only started watching the walkthrough of)

That's all I have to say for today
