Americans really think the US overthrowing of socialist, progressive and anti-imperialist governments abroad, installing US puppet governments, occupying countries, killing millions of innocent people, instigating civil wars, all in order to favor the US and its imperialist allies’ capitalist interests isn’t quite literally the epitome of global fascism. Imperialism is literally fascism. Can’t believe this needs to be said to so-called radicals.

Abraham Lincoln on the “superiority” of the white race and the “necessity” of segregation

“There is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

My dialectic method is not different from the Hegelian, but its direct opposite. To Hegel, the life process of the human brain, i.e. the process of thinking, which, under the name of ‘the idea’, he even transforms into an independent subject, is the demiurgos of the real world, and the real world is only the external, phenomenal form of ‘the idea’. With me, on the contrary, the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind, and translated into forms of thought.

European colonizers killed so many indigenous Americans that the planet cooled down, a new study reveals. 

Up to 90% of native Americans were killed, over 60 million people.

Typically, experts look to the Industrial Revolution as the genesis of human-driven climate impacts. But this study shows that effects may have began some 250 years earlier.

"Humans altered the climate already before the burning of fossil fuels had started," the study's lead author, Alexander Koch, told Business Insider. "Fossil fuel burning then turned up the dial."

I can say the word “struggle”, and there are some people who will understand exactly what I mean when I say struggle, there are other people who will say: “struggle? what is that?”
