SLOW HORSES 5.01 – Bad Dates

[alenkorra]

One of my favorite facts about the history of Malvinas Islands is that a group of indigenous Charrua people led by a Gaucho (think badass, brown cowboys with leather whips instead of firearms) tried to take back the islands from the English in 1833... and succeeded.

They captured everyone they didn't kill and took down the British flags. Then, English reinforcements arrived and captured them.

But the funny thing is: when el Gaucho Rivero and the Charruas were taken to England to be prosecuted, the court determined they were innocent, since the crimes they'd committed happened outside of British jurisdiction. So they were set free and returned safely to their homeland.

Of course, the Islands are still occupied by the English and we lost the actual war in 1982, but it's always worth remembering just how long we've been trying to reclaim territory that was ours hundreds of years before the British claimed it.

xenophobic propaganda won, colonization won, not surprising in the least

It sucks to be online this week.

I just deleted an app, just to avoid getting mad and be at peace for 20 minutes, and now everyone on WhatsApp woke up and is trying to make me responsible over multinationals privatising and destroying the natural resources in my home country.

I'm just one fucking person. I didn't even vote for that libtard. Now I have to live with the consequences and everyone else is just so hunky dory about it because at least the economy is stabilising.

wait, you're telling me SPAIN is racist??? that can't be... they're the good guys, the progressive europeans who defeated the evil southamericans

surely a country where romani people face systemic racism and police brutality can't be bad. surely a country where one of the most beloved streamers is on video gleefully saying the n word to a black man several times can't be bad.

i mean, i'm sure the whole colonization and stealing is a thing of the past and not at all ingrained into their modern society, right? 😥

Lionel Messi at every World Cup from 2006 to 2026

The greatest to ever play the game has graced the World Cup for two decades. Having made his debut at just 18, he now makes an unprecedented sixth World Cup appearance at the age of 38, four years after finally becoming a World Cup winner.

He is the first player to play in six World Cups.

He has played more World Cup matches than any other player in history.

when in 1995 pasarella (argentina nt coach) said that he would "never call up a homosexual player to the national team" and as a form of protest maradona and caniggia started to celebrate their goals in boca juniors like this
