Nice thread but I should add that marching band traditions are way older than Walter Loving and his Philippine Constabulary Band.
Marching bands were introduced here by the Spanish. They often played at fiestas and prusisyons—religious occasions instead of martial display.
A history lesson: The Philippines' Marching Band traditions were brought over in 1901 by a Black American, Walter Loving.
It was USA propaganda to demonstrate how colonization is good for Filipinos to become "civilized".
As i keep saying, Americans are so comfortable otherizing people from the Global South using slurs that are derogatory and dehumanized SEAsians in U.S. imperialist ventures in Asia when they don't toe the line.
@FlowerTower87@mvn_dn MAJORETTE was introduced to the PHILIPPINES by the AMERICANS who COLONIZED us back in the 1900's, the Majorette was specifically introduced to us in 1930's. We were colonized by AMERICA for almost HALF A CENTURY dumbass
man, goofy moments aside
even though korosensei is a fictional character with capacities beyond any normal human being (lmao), i still find myself drawing inspiration and wisdom from his philosophy of education to incorporate into my own
i wish i could be a korosensei sigh
i deeply miss who i was when i first watched the assassination classroom anime and getting to learn more about korosensei each episode. 😭 i desperately need to rewatch.
