Why do I suffer? Why am I ignorant?

Cells in great darkness. Some machine made us; it is your turn to address it, to go back asking what am I for? What am I for?

breaking news: all white people have now been BANNED from using poc or bipoc as acronyms and must spell out the whole thing. this will be in effect until you all learn what a fucking noun is and stop saying nonsensical things like “people of colour artists”

Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference is a naked celebration of imperialism. between repeated complaints about mass migration, and calls to "rebuild western civilization," he just flat out laments last century's decolonial struggles:

But in 1945, for the first time since the age of Columbus, [the West] was contracting. Europe was in ruins. Half of it lived behind an Iron Curtain and the rest looked like it would soon follow. The great Western empires had entered into terminal decline, accelerated by godless communist revolutions and by anti-colonial uprisings that would transform the world and drape the red hammer and sickle across vast swaths of the map in the years to come.

he then goes on to spend several paragraphs celebrating early waves of settler in US. unsurprisingly, his speech got applause from the European politicians there. these people are shameless in their desire to subjugate most of the global population
