shout out to me in 5 years…hope shes doing something cool i’m rooting for her
A few years ago my dad (who’s a prof) did the convocation address for new students and had a silly gimmick where he took off his teaching robes to reveal a wetsuit underneath. Something about the suit you’ll actually wear idk. My brother and I were so embarrassed and only hoped everybody would forget about this.
But my town was small, so it became like a city-wide meme where ppl would show up to HS and college graduation ceremonies and pull off their robes onstage to reveal increasingly terrible wetsuits underneath. Like they sent out emails about this warning people to stop doing it. The uni eventually took down the original youtube video of it. Thank God.
But I was sitting in class today (I go to a completely different school far away from my hometown) about to take my final and our professor said he had something funny to show us that would lift our spirits. AND HE PULLED UP THE VIDEO THAT WAS SAVED TO HIS COMPUTER OF MY DAD TALKING TO 6,000 STUDENTS IN A WETSUIT.
IN FRONT OF MY 500-PERSON LECTURE HALL.
I was already silently dying bc this was Awful™ but THEN a girl next to me, who I’ve never spoken to before in my life, leaned forward in her chair and said to me “Honestly, I think he’s kind of hot. Would you hit it?”
Just a reminder that in 1986 the International Court of Justice found the United States guilty of committing various war crimes through their support of the Contras against the Sandinistas in Nicaragua. The World Court ordered the Reagan administration to pay reparations that amounted to $370 million in damages. The only “No” votes were the U.S., Israel, and the U.S.-supported military junta in El Salvador. Representatives of the U.S. walked out of the proceedings after the vote tallied 94-3. They later blocked the resolution’s enforcement by the United Nations Security Council. Instead of paying reparations, they continued to clandestinely (and against the will of Congress) funnel millions of dollars into arming and training anticommunist death squads to destabilize the socialist government.
By 1991, when the war-weary Sandinista government was electorally defeated by a $22 million U.S.-funded opposition campaign, the United States decided to finally put the international court ruling to rest.
At that time, the damages caused by violating Nicaraguan sovereignty had ballooned to $1.7 billion in accrued interest and associated damages. They settled this out of court with the new U.S.-friendly Nicaraguan president by forgiving $260 million in loans.
Instead of paying almost $2 billion in reparations for war crimes, the United States militarily and economically destabilized a socialist government, forced a regime change, and repaid the new government by writing off a small amount of debt that was only incurred through the economic imperialism and military occupation visited upon Nicaragua by the United States dating back to 1909.
The price of being colonized is forced labor, debt, state and paramilitary terror, war crimes, more debt, violation of democratic processes, ducking of responsibility, economic dependence, political instability, more debt, and the forgiveness of some of that debt to better accrue more debt.
