Ethan Klein mocks, ridicules and sexualizes a victim of a terrorist attack while using the n-word (not really sure why) while wife Hila Klein films

@QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq Such as this post. No one is saying that the Odyssey is uniquely American

“Knowing about ‘The Odyssey’ is culturally America-centric” is why I’ll never leave this place.

@QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq People aren't saying the Odyssey is American. People are saying being American makes you give the Odyssey more credit than you would give to other ancient literature because of american culture and american school system

@QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq The problem is a fair conversation immediately descends to "but Homer was Greek not American" and highlighting the people who people can easily be read in bad faith

@ShadowSiren666 @QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq You didn't understand what I was saying but thanks for the input

[vilfrito parito's Sadness Blog @ItoDunji]

@QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq Sure, but the reason they teach it in American schools is because it reinforces European dominance over art. No one is surprised when you haven't read the bhagavad gita or genjinonogatari. But those aren't classics because they weren't taught in school. They aren't European

[vilfrito parito's Sadness Blog @ItoDunji]

It's probably because nobody was saying you were uneducated because you didn't read Beowulf or care about king arthur

[spoiler free enthusiast @GuestName10]

@offbeatorbit Americans didn't complain this much about Beowulf or Green Knight.

[vilfrito parito's Sadness Blog @ItoDunji]

@QueenMab87 @eternallyRaq But that's the whole discourse. People saying the Odyssey is the greatest piece of literature in the world because they read it in high school, completely discounting every non European/ American book

a lot of the "fascism is on the rise" sentiment presupposes that the west was collectively some bastion of progress prior to like 2016 and that is simply not true lol

Elon Musk spending $277M to buy the Presidency and Congress is the equivalent of someone making the US median income (~$59k) spending $37.

Citizens United made it way too easy for oligarchs to overthrow our government.

Younger Millennials and Zoomers are nostalgic for Walmart of all places because it's the only place their parents ever brought them as kids. Outside of school, you basically lived under house arrest with Nintendo DS privileges.

Reminder that this is the reason for criminalizing homelessness. Why pay people enough to live when you can price them out of living and then lock them up for slave labor instead?

[Kylie Cheung @kylietcheung]

is this not considered killing people

[David AttenBruh @AlHendiify]

We already have privatized postal services. Multiple in fact. If you want to use those then use them. USPS is superior because it can operate at a loss which allows it to be more widespread and serve unprofitable communities like rural towns.
