Every time I learn something new about American history and culture I become slightly more radicalized than before. what do you mean the dunk tank game has extremely anti black origins

[wolfertinger666]

it's insane that American culture quite literally is built off the mocking and suffering + exploitation of black people.

they will never teach you the overtly racist history (I mean obviously) but I learned more as I moved down south. i even remember visiting a lil museum that hosted racist artifacts once and was kinda amazed at the sheer amounts of malice and hatred white people did to mock black people 😭

[wolfertinger666]

the stuff that really hits me hard, is the minstrel shows (blackface and mocking black people in very exaggerated manners) and media such as illustrations and books and movies, even toys, depicting insidious caricatures of black people, ESPECIALLY black children.

this country is cartoonishly evil 😭

[wolfertinger666]

and additional note:

i shouldn't be too surprised considering one of the first ever popular films back in America's time that some big game movie critics give praise to is a movie that depicts the KKK in a positive light (Birth of a nation)

😭😭😭

[wolfertinger666]

and like, sorry I bring this stuff up so much, but as a black dude it's pretty insane to discover how more and more mundane things in this country or around the world has history that has showed extreme malice towards black people.

unfortunately, there is no way to separate American culture without acknowledging how much of it is stolen and homogenized from black culture/people(which is 90% of it 🙃)

I think hearing Bremen live would heal me actually. I think if I got to hear Bremen live I'd never have any problems ever again actually.

Was drunk and bored and getting annoyed at the ridiculous coverage of the US election so I decided to fix the place.

I'm from Australia where we only have 7 states, as such I have the (objectively correct) opinion that 50 is too many states, so I decided to cut it down to 10.

A few notes on my improved US map:

•Despite Illinois making the cut, Chicago is now in Michigan, due to the state getting the entire bank of its namesake.

•Boston is also in Michigan due to special exception.

•New York is now the capital of Pensylvania

•Yes that's how you spell Pensylvania

•The border of California is just roughly the Rockies, no need to overthink it.

•Making Florida bigger actually dilutes it's power, but Texas must be abolished

•Colorado should still be a rectangle, that's my mistake, I just couldn't be bothered fixing it.

•Alaska has been returned to Canada with a hand written apology

•All the random ass islands that the US forgot to pretend they didn't colonise have gained independence

Please let me know if there are any more improvements you can think of.

Edit: As a number of you have mentioned, Alaska never belonged to Canada, and giving it to them would be incredibly wrong when the native people have been trying to gain independence all this time.

Luckily, the apology note got lost in the mail in all the turmoil, so Canada never realised they're meant to have Alaska now. The Alaskans just start quietly self-governing and hoping the US and Canada don't notice, then after a few years they declare independence.

Tobi c!tommy lore in 2024

there's Huh ?????

[flamedoesart]

jack manifold streamed lore and basically what happened is that him and ctommy had one final conversation.

essentially the ending that we saw two years ago is no longer canon and what happened is that most everyone abandoned the smp. ctommy still lives there though, has a sheep named mareep. he still sees ctubbo sometimes. ctubbo sells honey. cjack lives in las nevadas or smthn? they both hated and loved the server. how it sucked, everything sucked, the people sucked. but in a weird way they miss it too.

and what matters most is that they are both healing.

you’ll find new people to have deep conversations with. you’ll find a new place to feel at home in. you’ll find a reason to be genuinely excited to wake up in the morning. you’ll find someone who will reinvent your tainted version of love. you’ll find a way to reconceptualise your feelings and turn to healthy ways to cope. you’ll find a way to reach your goal and improve yourself. you’ll find a way to live every day with inner peace and appreciation for everything you have.

Today (September 7) is the 11-month mark of the current phase of the genocide in Gaza. Israel has occupied and committes genocide against Palestinians for 76 years.

If Biden and Harris wanted a ceasefire, they would have cut off Israel's weapons supply long ago. Instead, they refuse to consider an arms embargo.

It could not be more clear that Harris and Biden both love this genocide. (And no, Harris isn't being forced to support it.)

[halalchampagnesocialist]

This has been said a million times before but the key reason why we as Palestinain leftists are frustrated with the Democrats and Kamala supporters more broadly is because we are well acquainted with liberals. Liberals globally are more or less the same, maybe with slightly different characteristics, but this post is specifically about American liberals.

The real issue is you are so unmoved when it's your party signing the blank checks, couping elected governments, installing dictators, and even passing regressive laws into policy at home. You were all rightfully concerned about Trump but as soon as Biden was elected you all went back to business as usual?

When it comes to Palestine, this genocide has been made possible due to American dollars, American intelligence, and American weapons. I would even go as far to say American support from some of the general populace. It was also Obama who signed one of the largest aid packages to Israel right before he left office.

Yes, Trump could be hypothetically worse on Palestine, but the current administration has done enough damage. Kamala may not be as hawkish as Biden on Israel but she will still continue to support Israel financially and diplomatically. The real question is will you as liberals continue to put pressure onto the US government to cease its funding and arming of Israel? Will you get out onto the streets? Will you put your money where your mouth is and advocate for Palestinians? Or will you just stay put? Because we know right now that a lot of you aren't doing shit. You're just sitting here lecturing Palestinians about telling you not to vote.

You guys would happily put your own rights over foreign policy, and okay fine, but what are you doing aside from just voting to make sure those civil and political rights are secured? You can't just act like everything is fine.
