Being pro bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima is actually insane. You mean seeing pictures of the humans impacted by nuclear bombs didn’t convince you that shit should never happen ever again? You saw those pictures and continued to believe in the American war machine? Burn in hell

there a lot of details of american macroculture that have caused what I'd describe as a reality fracturing mental reset when I learned about them. one was learning that children do literally swear their allegiance to the american flag every morning before school and that's not a quaint comedic exaggeration left over from the 1950s like rabbit ears on a TV. one was learning that Americans have to pay for ambulance transportation. one was learning that Americans are taught the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were tough brave necessities that made the world safer and not horrific war crimes on a footing with the nazi holocaust.

and one was learning that the cultural cachet of veggietales is completely unironic and a lot of you watched the parables of God from the bible and his son jesus christ the cgi vegetable for real real and thought it was good, no goofing, not a bit

most pathetic useless unreflective oblivious not even enjoying the fruits of their rapacious solipsism people on earth. at least do everyone the courtesy of shutting the fuck up.

If you're an American and this has you feeling defensive, here's a good video to watch while you consider why you feel the impulse to defend the nuclear bombing of two civilian targets.

You were probably taught in high school that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed to *save* lives. You have probably learned a lot since high school, it's time to learn some more.

um actually there's nothing wrong with letting cats be outdoor pets. your cat is depressed locked inside forever. it's animal abuse. let it outside. more cats should be let outside more often. especially overnight.

like. the grand immortal dictator is the label. the clerk/clown are the fans.

theaterard

like oh the label conditions you into forcing her to perform? and she either kills you violently or you kill her violently but somewhere in between you share a game of tic-tac-toe and dance together. right. right.

theaterard

the clown as a direct metaphor for a demanding audience... making her perform even if it kills her and brandishing her corpse long after she's gone

theaterard

she think she’s conditioning the audience into killing her over and over and over

People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.

You see this?

That's not a river. That's the South Canal in Mesa, Arizona (Phoenix metro area).

This is a view of the East and South canals. At least half of all the Phoenix metro canals were originally built by the Hohokam (from roughly 200-1400 CE), and are still in use (restored) today.

Phoenix, Arizona actually has more miles (kilometers) of Canals total than both Venice and Amsterdam. No, really. Phoenix has about 180 miles of canals, many of which are built on ancient canal foundations.

below is an aerial view photo taken in the late 1930's of one branch of Phoenix's canal systems:

Also have the "Montezuma Castle," if you need a castle:

I don't need to look at some 12th century European castle to see age.

Don’t forget the continuously inhabited pueblos!!

The Taos Pueblo, Orayvi, and Sky City (Acoma) were all founded sometime before 1150AD and have been continuously inhabited since then.

There’s the Medicine Wheel in Wyoming - called Annáshisee by the Apsáalooke, who also say that it was there before they arrived. We don’t know how old it is. Oral history from several different indigenous tribes say it was built by ancient ancestors who lived without iron.

And then there’s the Serpent Mound in Ohio, which, by the way, is the largest serpent effigy in the world.

Radiocarbon dates it back to at least 300 BCE. (2300 years ago), so, you know — the time of Ptolemy and the Punic Wars, and was later repaired by indigenous people about 900 years ago.

This just scratches the surface. So, yeah, we have a lot of old as shit stuff here built by indigenous people. Don’t even get me started on South America.
