i am just saying this one last time, just so i can be done with it because i see absolutely 0 way to even argue with these people:
people who present themselves as #left on #german #mastodon are #bulling and #doxxing #palestine victims and their supporters, celebrating #police #repression against their comrades and spreading #racists #ahistorical #propaganda and it is just another day on there.
just to make perfectly sure it was not misunderstood by anyone WTF i am talking about.
Emotional intelligence is #political, and a #repressive 'invention'
We must #question and #queer the popular imaginations of, and #uncritical, #technocratic and #ahistorical #assumptions about, emotional intelligence.

Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...
His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:

The Panama canal, maybe.
The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.
The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.
So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.
[1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

This isn't just inaccurate; it's wildly #ahistorical. The actual reasons behind the creation of the North West Mounted Police were:
1. protect western Canada from encroachment by Americans, who were basically raiding across the border at-will.
2. *protect* the First Nations people that the *Americans* were treating as inconveniences and slaughtering them much as they did in the American west.
3. establish law and order, prevent vigilantism.
Not that you'll bother to learn.
Tom Holt writing as KJ Parker is really rather good. Best known for some middling comedies he got good at those (The Portable Door which is a movie I think now).
The KJ Parker stuff reads like the best Ancient History that never happened. If you get the chance 16 Ways to Defend a Walled City is a fantastic comedy drama and worth your time if you liked anything else I said.
