Refer to England as “a mysterious and warlike nation off the coast of western Asia”

every time i read anything about the british army suppressing colonial revolts and communist revolutionary movements throughout the 50s-80s across their territories in africa (kenya and the mau mau rebellion, the various wars fought by colonial rhodesia and south africa against militant african communist liberation orgs) the malayan emergency is mentioned as having been their testing ground and the development of their divide and rule strategy against communist insurgent movements throughout the empire. like in every text i find about this the authors always bring up the malayan emergency as where the british army first honed the strategy they would use in colonial africa. the british soldiers who slaughtered communists in malaya were then shipped around the empire to their colonies in africa to continue their violence against local populations there. a lot of the soldiers who fought in the malayan emergency for the british and australian armies became private mercenaries who travelled around the african continent killing indigenous people and fighting on behalf of apartheid states for a living for decades. during and after apartheid ended in south africa these men founded/joined private military contractors and have continued to staff and train the next generation of mercenaries fighting in imperialist wars throughout the world including in palestine. and legit every single text i've found traces this back to the commonwealth armies during the malayan emergency and the atrocities they committed during that time and all these men are still running around doing the same things. unreal

Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

Monica Lewinsky on the streets of Nairobi. Some years ago a headline in the BBC World Service Focus on Africa magazine read, “Monica Lewinsky seen on the streets of Nairobi.” When I turned to that page what I found wasn’t what I was expecting. It was instead a photograph of a matatu with a picture of Monica Lewinsky on its body. The taxi driver or owner had decided to call his matatu Monica…
