  • Basically what they’re worried about is kids being forced to wear hijabs

    This argument is illogical. Children of all ethnicities and religions are routinely forced to wear certain clothes or not wear others by their parents. Banning specific articles of clothing does nothing to change that.

    Also, if children being forced to dress a specific way is a problem, than how is the Austrian state forcing children to dress a specific way acceptable as a “solution”

    Arguments in favor of a hijab ban only make sense if you think hijabs are somehow uniquely harmful, a nonsensical and racist premise in my view.






  • I have grappled with similar thoughts before, and I still do in some ways. Shit is extremely bad here, and it can feel extremely demoralizing and hopeless. That being said, I have made the decision to stay, at least for now, to fight for the bioregion I view as my home. Che Guevara apparently said “I envy you north Americans, you have the privilege to fight in the belly of the beast.” Which I respect as a sentiment. I don’t judge you for choosing to leave though. Pure stubbornness only hoes so far and at a certain point you have to prioritize your mental and physical well-being
