@RnDanger @CypherSephiroth In general I don’t use it anymore but considering the topic and commentary, it seemed fitting

Well, it’s a nice compilation, but I get your message.

And no, it’s not free…

@chartier I wish the world would stop saying “america.” First of all, the entire continent is america, not just our little bullshit country the united snakes. Better to just pronounce it dead and start over. This time with one hundred percent less European settler involvement. #LandBack

It was never a free country, except for white men, but only a certain kind of those as well.

In retrospect, the Pilgrims ships should have been burned upon arrival on Plymouth Rock.

The etymology of America has an odd history. In 19th century "America" meant the United States + Guam + Samoa + Philippines + Puerto Rico + Virgin islands + Pacific outlying regions + Carribbean outlying regions + Hawaii + Alaska + all other smaller islands that the US annexed over the years. Before 1898 "America" was rarely used. After 1898 "America" became common usage to refer to the "empire" not the republic. That is, an empire the US has since denied being. #funfact

Now, now. Humans are largely the same shite regardless what continent they occupy. Just because you're more familiar with the sordid history of the United States doesn't de facto mean that other nations and continents didn't enjoy their own sordidness. Consider Asia, which has only rarely been home to democracies and never a hotbed of them. Same for Africa. Monarchies, dictators, oligarchies, and fascism found purchase on every continent.

It's the same shite everywhere. Human skin color or facial morphology might change a wee bit, but not human behavior.

It's here—too late to be scared, not too late to be loud in a crowd.

Being scared and doing nothing will get you nothing.

@chartier there are very few "free" nations. We live in a dictatorship of the elite. We are only as free as they allow us to be.
Show threadmadame poolhairJul 1
@jubei @chartier which begs the question; why do we let them allow us?
Show threadJubeiJul 1
@lacybarry @chartier lack of class consciousness. People don't know which class they belong to (most of us are working class).

@jubei @chartier maybe...they do tend to cosplay the majority of us for favor...I think we just don't know how powerful we really are.
