“land mexico lost to the united states”
as a student of latin america for over half a decade in university, im so fucking sick of mexicans, and really spics in general, not knowing their own fucking history
hmmm, how did mexico “lose” this land to the united states? well, there was this whole big deal called the mexican american war. the united states elected the most ridiculously based and still top 3 president of all time james k polk who is the only president to ever accomplish everything he set out to do, did it in a single term, and refused to run again.
he instigated a war with mexico that the united states won so ridiculously easily while begging mexico to “stop hitting yourself” because mexico kept declaring war on itself and its military leadership was so ineffective they could only beat ~250 americans in a fort once with well over 2000 men with the us casualties being those ~250 and mexican casualties being 1000-1600.
anyway, the us military casually walked down the length of mexico to mexico city from the north and demolished the forces of veracruz like it was a tuesday in a invasion from the gulf. the converged on the city and felt so bad for defeating mexico so hard that they STILL paid mexico for the land, especially as a way to try to maintain good will with mexico and so that they forfeit their claims to all the american southwest territories.
the most annoying part, however, is the idea that there were all these “mexicans” who were “crossed by the border” after the mexican american war. the population of the ENTIRE REGION when it was part of mexico was an almost entirely white texas of over 100k white americans, 50k spaniards in NM and AZ, and 6000 people in CA, NV, AND UT COMBINED. the rest of the territory was occupied by virtually completely autonomous amerindian groups with absolutely no connection to mexico.
so i rest my case. the entire idea of the “mexican southwest” is a recent invention by pan-latino university professors (plenty of whom i knew in university) who are largely anti white and are huge latino history historical revisionists. there never was a “mexican” southwest, as mexico virtually never made any effort to settle nor administrate the southwest in any way.
I think Vivek should have just worked harder, not been so lazy, and probably should have been campaigning ten hours a day for six days a week. Maybe he would have won then 🤷🏻♂️
@NotSilentDoGood@MisfitPatriot Oh you know so much about the threat of Iran?? Did you learn it from your favorite Jewish podcasters like Shapiro and Levin?? I’m sure you’re well versed in Middle Eastern history and know exactly what’s going on.
@disasterforthem Fuck the GOP for absolutely blowing the biggest mandate the Right has maybe ever had. FUCK the GOP. Burn it down. They fucked up. Not us.
@StefanMolyneux How interesting. I am on the Right, and voted for the Right, and all I got was a new forever war in the Middle East, suppression of the Epstein files, and republicans who imported millions of Indians and Chinese legally into my homeland. Maybe fuck off
@KaiserLoengramm Trump dragged the party so far right in 2016 it felt surreal. Build the wall. Muslim ban. Etc. This was despite a Republican Party of amnesty and liberalism. People always forget. It’s happened before and it will happen again. Fuck the GOP traitors, burn it down.
@FrenlyOfficer Trump LIED about No New Wars, Mass Deportations, and Releasing the Epstein files, and Nick is the Rat??? Yeah man. Please continue to support the party who rapes you.
@motorsep@remarks Continue being a slave to Republicans. The same Repubs who would prefer you were replaced by an Indian and would just shut up about it already.
@WolfBronsky Republicans are CURRENTLY selling out whites for the Indians, Chinese, and Mexicans. You can thank Republicans for importing foreigners into red states. The current Republican establishment is screwing us just as much as the democrats. They need to burn and we need to rebuild.
Well, another Cardinal has come out with a, shall we say, puzzling take on evangelization.
A few years ago, Cardinal Américo Aguiar, at the time auxiliary bishop of Lisbon, said that he and the other organizers of World Youth Day in his hometown had no interest in converting anyone to Christ.
Now Cardinal Jean-Paul Vesco of Algeria has opined that “the Church is not there to convert” and “Christians should approach other religions through fraternity rather than seeking conversions.”
Excuse me, but…what?
Last time I checked, the Founder said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Sure sounds like conversion to me.
When St. Paul came to Corinth or Athens or Thessalonica, his purpose was not to listen or to form a discussion group but rather to declare an unnerving message: the euangelion (glad tidings) that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead.
So impassioned is he for this work that he says, “I have become all things to all people, that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:22); and “If I proclaim the gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16)!
Moreover, the entire thrust of the Second Vatican Council was toward bringing the Light of Christ to the peoples of the world (Lumen Gentium). And this missionary élan has given rise in the last few decades to the idea of a “new evangelization,” which is to say, a fresh declaration of the Lordship of Christ.
Quite obviously, no one thinks that this work of evangelization should be done in a brow-beating, overbearing, or disrespectful manner (proselytization), but for God’s sake, let’s not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
If I really thought that the Church does not exist to bring people to Christ, then I would resign and get an honest job.
@doomernat22 You can acknowledge that Israel is evil and committing a genocide without also “supporting” Palestine. It’s not a dichotomy man you can be repulsed by both.
J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.
the Catholic Church backs the sciences and the arts.
The Pope has a PhD in Mathematics.
Catholicism is very realistic. Faith without works is dead. The science is the work.
The Catholic Church has built thousands of hospitals and labs. that is the work. we pray but we work.
