#dispossessed
And when I rip you out my chest
Won't you realize you're just obsessed?
A fraud at best
Drain the blood from this abscess
Watch me as I eat my heart out, dispossessed
But I breathe

Heroes bore me. My sympathies lie with the dispossessed, the losers, the outcasts, those who are first only in misfortune.

In 2015, in rhetoric mimicking the classic blueprint of rising dictators, Trump tapped into the anger of people who felt they had been dispossessed from their rightful place of importance in the country and tapped into the country’s racism and sexism as he told them to blame immigrants and

I think anyone who ever takes more than a cursory look at Polish or Irish history, for example, will see plenty of evidence of white people being genocided, colonised and dispossessed by other white people.

I wrote about a question that gets flattened a lot: if Japan “colonized” Peru, why were Japanese Peruvians surveilled, dispossessed, deported, and barred from returning during WWII? The wartime record tells a very different story.

Japanese Peruvian Internment Proves Japan Did Not Colonize Peru
The Power Test: Why Wartime Persecution Settles the Question The strongest evidence that Japan did not colonize Peru is not found in diplomatic language or migration statistics alone. It appears most clearly in what happened to Japanese Peruvians during World War II. When war came to the Pacific, Ja

It’s not just the island; it’s a portion of the beach on the Karaburun Peninsula where locals were illegally dispossessed of their land. They’ll burn that shit down if it gets built.

Reading Dispossessed for the first time and I’m enjoying it but man this must have hit really hard for people who read it when their politics weren’t fully formed yet

Like other small states on Russia's border that have gained their independence, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia have everything to lose if a resurgent Russia turns their way. And by "everything", I mean their lives and their ethnic identity. They will be dispossessed, eliminated, and assimilated.

"Vaikšnoras is Lithuania’s defense chief, and his distrust of Russia, a former occupying power, is not a notional concern. Ever since Russia’s invasions of other post-Soviet nations—Georgia in 2008; Ukraine in 2014 and 2022—

You are literally asking a German Jew whose family was in fact dispossessed by the Third Reich

The whole philosophy in Left Hand of Darkness was felt through the ache of trying to know another person.

Wasn’t sure what to expect with the Dispossessed. It’s been good! But feels way more institutional and intellectual by comparison.

Need more queer yearning.

Terminé de leer The dispossessed, de Úrsula K. LeGuin y me vino inmediatamente esta imagen para un grabado a la cabeza. Un librazo tremendo, aunque no creo que le descubra la pólvora a nadie diciendo esto, la verdad.

It's also populated by some of the best...

Reporters across the country who advocate on behalf of the vulnerable, the poor, the powerless, the weak, the dispossessed.

god fucking forbid if they say things a political party does not want to hear, eh?

A fire lit within my chest
My heart's been burning, wholly dispossessed
(These barely-blinking eyes that refuse to cry)
Oh, what I wouldn't give to stay
To have my joy and sorrow cast away

Under krigen mellom Russland og Georgia i Sør-Kaukasus i 2008, hevdet den russiske historikeren Sergei Markov at spørsmålet om Tsar-Russland i 1864 hadde massakrert circassere i Nord-Kaukasus var bestilt av Dick Cheney for å hjelpe republikaneren John McCains presidentkampanje.

Thirding The Spear Cuts Through Water. Cried for the last hundred pages of that book it's so fucking good

Ursula K Le Guin is more of a sci fi writer but I've loved everything I've ever read from her. The Dispossessed is great if you wanna do sci fi or Tales of Earthsea for fantasy

Am reading bible-thin pages of the Dispossessed. I have to keep rubbing the pages together to make sure they don’t stick (and I don’t accidentally skip over a page).

Why so thin.
