Okay can someone explain like I'm five the situation in Venezuela because I'm having a hard time understanding the history/etc. behind this. Like what led to this point, what is the track record of Maduro, what has been going on even before what happened now just happened?

Did I spend 150$ on ribbon skirts and 100$ on jewelry at the powwow vendors? Yes. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Gonna be going on until 1am. Love for Lac Courte Oreilles. <3

Oh hey I found my favorite hijab

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 31/12/2025
I cannot find my favorite hijab and I’m not very happy about that ugh Also my hair is growing in from the buzzcut I’ve had for seven years and it’s at the stage where it doesn’t know whether it wants to stick up everywhere or flop older and it keeps peaking through

Unfortunate doesn’t begin to describe it. Y’all don’t deserve hate for something the majority of you don’t do or would even think of doing. It’s like saying because I veil I must be pro taliban/isis/etc.

Yeah they sound so

From what I’ve heard what they’ve been accused of is horrific. And ugh. Like I wear a head scarf. You can see it in my profile photo. But it was totally my choice.

I believe I have seen some on YouTube too. I follow a person called cults to consciousness and she has a few videos interviewing some female ex members I think. She interviews lots of ppl from high control religions.

Lev Tahor is that fundamentalist culture group that got accused of a bunch of shit and has women wear a burqa like covering, right?

Words often in their practice. They’re facists too.

Turning it into white supremacist neo nazi shit and on the outside they have similar tattoos/symbols/rituals but the belief system is much different and as I said they’re white supremacists among other things. But you can usually tell if they have the words “folk” and “folkish” or use those

Yeah I’ll be the first to admit I’m not very knowledgeable on all the subdivisions so I can see how the mistake is made. It kinda reminds me of my friends who are Nordic pagans/Asatru. Lately a lot of fringe right wing groups have been taking Nordic paganism and Asatru and

That makes sense. And social media in general these days is just…doom

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
That must get old real fast considering how popular (is that the right word?) anti-Zionism has become and how anti-semitism is rising. Scary too.

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Eek. Yeah that sounds like a group I would not want to be involved with or support at all.
020
Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Because that sounds very frustrating to say the least

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Hi! Yeah they definitely sound like they belong in the “people we don’t invite for (insert popular holiday you celebrate here) dinner” club If it’s okay to ask do you have a lot of people lump you all together and have to correct people a lot about how your beliefs and theirs differ?
200
Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
And people don’t like to admit when they’re ignorant and wrong esp if that group they’re supporting has a belief that serves them or their own message…even if it’s highly out of context.

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Well now if I see someone supporting them I will tell them what I learned here. People will sadly sometimes sacrifice critical thinking and basic human decency if they think they have support. I’ve seen a few non-Jewish friends sharing them and praising them now that I think about it

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Damn that’s a lot. I can totally see why you guys don’t claim them because I wouldn’t want to either. Like holy crap.

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
That’s messed up if that’s okay to say. I definitely am glad I learned this because you were right before I’m not Jewish and I assumed they were just like the ultra Orthodox Jews who lived near where my mom grew up (Brooklyn in an area where you were either Jewish or Sicilian).

Other than their belief that the holocaust was deserved

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 30/12/2025
Oh wow. Insidious how if that’s okay to ask?
100
Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Holy shit the Holocaust was a deserved punishment?? that’s…that’s a belief all right. I see why they’re considered an extremist fringe group. I wouldn’t want to support anyone with those beliefs. That’s scary.

Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Oh jeez I didn’t know that. That’s wild. Are they extremist in non anti-Israeli ways?
110
Antigone Barbieri @thetragedymachine.bsky.social · 29/12/2025
Oh I think I know what you’re talking about! Yeah I saw some videos about that. They’re ultra orthodox right? I agree about not being anti an entire group of people. I pray every day for both groups to find safety and peace. No one deserves to live in fear

I honestly don’t trust anyone who is a career politician. Like those old white men who have never done anything else. IMO being in office is a public service and if that’s how you’re making the majority of you income idk I feel it’s wrong

We need younger people who aren’t afraid of the right and don’t compromise their morals in the name of trying to to appeal to the center.
