somebody will rightfully notice that europeans are really fucking weird about romani people and there will always be 1 person in the comments going "okay it's not racist, you just don't understand, bleeding heart americans, i promise my brother tony had an experience which proves they're all raping theives and hitler was right about them" and not seem to be aware of how much they sound like americans talking about black ppl
What goes through the European mind that makes them see a post about being racist and, like, activates the deep-well Yakubian Inhibitor Chip that makes them immediately be racist as a "joke"? Like, are you guys programmed to do this? Is it an Order 66 deal?
I was unsure what “ruspa ruspa” could mean so I tried to do some research and I am pretty sure it is an anti-Roma phrase from the Italian far-right. “Ruspa” is “Bulldozer.”
After an internal crisis, in 2013, Matteo Salvini became the leader. Under the new leadership, the party embraced Italian nationalism eliminating the suffix “Nord”, to become only Lega, and took a turn to the right, adopting the classic themes of the European far right—opposition to immigration and nativist nationalism—and allying with the French National Front, the Freedom Party of the Netherlands and the Freedom Party of Austria, at the European level (Chiaramonte et al. 2018). The nationalist change of course implies a change in the identification of the “other”, against which social insecurities are directed: the great enemy to be opposed is no longer the southerners, but immigrants, foreigners, including Roma, framed through increasingly explicitly xenophobic and racist positions (Bobba 2018). As mentioned, the politician is not new to anti-Roma statements. Already in 2008, when he was councilor of the city of Milan, he declared, “rats are easier to fight than gypsies” (Radio Padania 2008). However, becoming the leader, he placed what he calls the “Gypsy problem” at the center of his agenda, “inventing” the “camp visit” as a new form of campaigning event: during every electoral campaign, he visits a Roma camp, with the purpose of “documenting” the situation. In 2015, during the European election campaign, for the first time he proposed his “final solution” for the “Gypsy problem”: “using bulldozers to destroy all the slums” (Ruccia 2015). The word ruspa, bulldozer, will become his trademark, the iconic image that he uses as a metaphor for “cleaning up” problems. In the 2018 general elections, the two main populist parties, Lega and Movimento 5 Stelle, achieved historic success, with a combined vote representing the absolute majority (D’Alimonte 2019), and formed a coalition government, in which Matteo Salvini is appointed Minister of the Interior and Deputy Prime Minister. On the 18th of June, 2018, only eighteen days after being appointed Interior Minister, he announced that the government would conduct a census of Roma people in Italy for the purpose of deporting all who are not in the country legally, stating that, if some of them are legally Italians “unluckily we will be obliged to keep them” (Custodero 2018). In August 2019, in response to a news report showing a Roma woman saying that he deserved “a bullet in the head”, he tweeted “Stay calm, zingaraccia (dirty gypsy), stay calm, the bulldozers will soon be there” (Kennedy 2019)

How the fuck is that an OK joke to make???
Hello everyone! <3
If you like my art pieces, I highly encourage you to donate to my friend Mohammed Ayesh. I made these pieces to promote his campaign. The situation is urgent. Whenever I text him I worry that the bombs hitting their surroundings will fall on his family next. If you cannot donate, then I urge you to reblog so we reach people who can.
He needs less than 5,000 left, and I'm sure that we can reach that goal soon if we all give everything we can.
I know we may all feel overwhelmed with the present situation. But always remember:
If we feel pained and exhausted from seeing their reality, then imagine how they feel living that reality! We cannot allow this continue any further.
Welcome
I am Nael Helles from Gaza and I need to share my donation link, please. I have been verified by Cheb Hussein

This is a legitimate gofundme, still $35,000 away from its goal. Please consider helping Nael and his family evacuate Gaza

Hello, hellers.
As some of you might have noticed, I do come here often to ask for help. Honestly, you guys have helped me in so many times. From food, to meds, to getting me out of the E.R. and settling debts.
Living pay to pay and not being able to save for emergencies means I don't have anyone else to relay on. And I'm sorry I have to come here as often as I do.
Rejection e-mails for more work is the norm, sadly (below), and beyond that, I need to pay my landlord (yes, you heard me right) for a piece he had to change in the bathroom, pay another $50 bill for 5/25 and afford a consultation for my foot (since I had to use the money on food).
Here goes one impossible request, with the hopes that I can at least do one of the 3 above in this small window of time.

To evacuate my family from Gaza
https://www.gofundme.com/f/ej4d3-help-my-family-to-get-out-of-gaza
Hello this is a legitimate fundraiser!
Ahmad and his family need your help to evacuate Gaza. He has a wife and 4 children trying to shelter amid the rubble. And his father is severely injured with no available means of treating him.
Unfortunately this is not the first time the Al-Zaeem family has lost their home and belongings. As their home fell to Israeli airstrikes in 2021 as well. And in 2023 and now with the invasion into Rafah, they’ve lost their shelter again.
Their GoFundMe is only at $332 CAD out of $50,000 CAD. Please donate if you can and if you can’t please share this!
