What’s sad is that there is some politicians that say “This never happened”

This scene impressed me so much when I first saw it. It still fills me with… idk something. I love it.

How Churchill engineered the holocaust of 3 million Indians

As the resistance swelled, Churchill announced: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion.” This hatred killed. To give just one, major, example, in 1943 a famine broke out in Bengal, caused – as the Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen has proved – by the imperial policies of the British. Up to 3 million people starved to death while British officials begged Churchill to direct food supplies to the region. He bluntly refused. He raged that it was their own fault for “breeding like rabbits”. At other times, he said the plague was “merrily” culling the population. Skeletal, half-dead people were streaming into the cities and dying on the streets, but Churchill – to the astonishment of his staff – had only jeers for them. “If food is so scarce, why hasn’t Gandhi died yet?”

That’s why I don’t fuck with the British and their sympathisers in the US. They still haven’t apologised for what they’ve done. The British, of all the colonial powers, should be tried in the international courts and be punished for what they did to so many people. Y'all can glorify them, their queen or their “culture”. But know this - their ancestors killed people and lived off of their dead bodies like vultures. Know this - the present generation is taught about colonialism in such a way where it is glorified. Know this - while you all were talking about Brexit, Indians had already been started getting kicked out from the UK in early 2010s. Know this - if the British paid for all that they looted and stole from us, and the industries you destroyed, you would be the poorest country on the planet.

And that would be your own doing, something you deserve.

Holy. Never read a more on point reply. Bravo @thegayaxeman.

also the queen has said that her favourite pm was churchill so there’s a little nugget for you to think about next time you think about obsessing over the royal family

thisiseverydayracism

Exactly. It’s hard to argue against the claim that the Queen is one of the worst war criminals in history. Hundreds of millions of innocent lives were ruined in her name.

did you know that there are also British historians who believe that Churchill should’ve just signed a truce with Hitler so the UK coulda kept their empire instead of spending all their money fighting WWII, like wow

England reporting in, unfortunately. This isn’t taught about in our schools. None of the bad shit the empire did was, actually. I have vague memories of being taught about britain being the empire where the sun never sets, and I remember being taught about various victories against other european powers through the past millenium, but the empire is barely touched upon. I had to learn all that nasty shit myself.

Meanwhile, we have folk endlessly droning about how we’re the greatest country in the world, parading their tribalism with union jack bedsheets and tiny little flags poking out of car windows, with no idea what implications that carries. People talk about being proud to be british, like, why? What makes you proud? Occasionally making it to the semi-finals of the football world cup? Tea, for some reason? Or is it just a function of a lack of anything else to be proud of?

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) confronted a CEO Thursday for pricing a drug designed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission at $8 in Australia but over $1,500 in the U.S.

“You’re the CEO of Gilead. Is it true that Gilead made $3 billion in profits from Truvada in 2018?” Ocasio-Cortez asked Gilead CEO Daniel O'Day.

“$3 billion in revenue,” he clarified.

The current list price is $2,000 a month in the United States, correct?“ she asked, referring to Truvada.

“It’s $1,780 in the United States,” O'Day responded.

“Why is it $8 in Australia?” Ocasio-Cortez countered.

“Truvada still has patent protection in the United States and in the rest of the world it is generic,” O'Day explained, adding, “It will be generically available in the United States as of September 2020.”

“I think it’s important here that we notice that we the public, we the people, developed this drug. We paid for this drug, we lead and developed all the patents to create Prep and then that patent has been privatized despite the fact that the patent is owned by the public, who refused to enforce it,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

“There’s no reason this should be $2,000 a month. People are dying because of it and there’s no enforceable reason for it.”

This is so accurate. At school, we literally have children who will watch our facial expressions to see if them falling is as bad as they think it might be.
