Santa Anna in the Mexican War deciding to attack an American force 1/5 the size of his own unaware that it was George Washington’s birthday and my great-5x grandpa had Lady Columbia leaning on his back with her arms round his shoulders whispering “total greaser death” in his ear.
@JacobsLadder000 These people are slaves. Do you know what being on homecoming court means? Fucking nothing. I’m working like everyone else.
Istg these people haven’t done anything worthwhile since they were 17, so they just can’t let it go.
@Kni7es@stinkybean7@9mmballpoint What blanket initiatives have happened in pursuit of mass deportations? The answer is none, because of the Patriot Act, as you said.
The privacy argument was lost before I was born. The only question is what that information is used for.
@MarxoidNess@RenaWasRight@unirespecter You people always have been the agent of the capitalists, whether we talk about race or ideology. The communists allied with international capitalism while fascists fought it. Meanwhile, mass immigration is hundreds of millions of eager slaves to billionaires, willing to be scabs
@ShadowyZephyr No matter a man’s romantic history, some woman will find a way to portray it in a negative light.
Much better to not fret about these things and just do watcha wanna do.
Everyone is so worried about being observed that that they forget to experience.
@PerseusAccipz@Y40IFRQTTING Modern folk music is a bunch of dirty hippies singing about hugging trees. It’s not high brow or classical, let alone traditional. Who would want to be associated with that?
Red music is Zach Bryan, Ella Langley, George Strait, etc.
The culture is football and domestic beer.
@PerseusAccipz@Y40IFRQTTING I really don’t care about which say shakespeare fans tilt considering they’re also +30 years. That’s just my experience.
You clearly know nothing about the current folk/country scene outside of radio snippets.
Also Merle Haggard has more talent in his pinkie than Guthrie ever had
@Kni7es@stinkybean7@9mmballpoint This is a hypothetical and not based in reality. Same argument could be made about anything with a license, whether professional or recreational. Yet do we see branding of the masses as felons to stop voting or gun access? No.
Rn, it is borderline impossible to lose citizenship.
@PerseusAccipz@Y40IFRQTTING A very tiny minority of people engage with classical literature and it tilts slightly left.
You’re close to right, but red america has regular country, not country rap.
But blue america is NBA youngboy, sexyy red, sabrina carpenter, love island, etc.
Neither is highbrow or trad.
@GacConservadora@arctotherium42 I’m aware that worked with the Apache, who were already agrarian and settled. But it did not work on the nomadic tribes who survived through hunting/raiding. They just raided the missions the Apaches were living in, like they had done since the introduction of horses.
@GacConservadora@arctotherium42 My spanish is rusty, but it seems to be a peace deal. So they weren’t even trying to hold the territory or assimilate the tribes?
If the Mexicans saw the Comanche as a independent nation outside their control, what opposition do they have to Americans settling another’s territory
@GacConservadora@arctotherium42 If that’s true, they never would have held Texas. The Comanche never would have assimilated voluntarily. The needed to be crushed with force.
