I need you guys to understand though. what it was like to watch this movie with a 101° fever and to see these dogs. I literally had to pause and take a second compose myself. I thought I was losing my mind.
@koinkydoinky This is a dumb argument, we’re both on an app owned by a racist white guy from South Africa who gave millions of dollars to maga. but we still have reasons to be here
@navajofelon How do we obsess over being Spanish? Because we speak the language?
The pride rests on being PUERTO RICAN, especially with the USA restricting Spanish language among other things
@navajofelon As if Spain in any way embraces Puerto Ricans as one of them lmao.
Majority of PRicans are not white, black, or indigenous, they’re mixed with a background of Spanish conquistador, African slaves, and Taino.
@navajofelon wtf do you mean “not all Puerto Ricans are colonized”, we are the USA’s oldest colony still existing, every aspect of our lives is controlled by a govmnt we can’t vote for. At best our island is treated as a convenient vacation spot by the USA
@navajofelon that fall under the USA’s political/economic hegemony (Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela, Central America, Japan, South Korea are hubs for baseball)
@navajofelon Even if we don’t know who trump is, his decisions affect every aspect of our lives.
American culture is prominent here, it’s not ignored but usually accepted ie. baseball introduced in the Spanish speaking Caribbean (Cuba) by American forces and spreading to other regions (1/2)
@navajofelon Are we American? We’re a colony under the USA, we have our own culture that’s (past & presently) under threat by the US.
I saw that u argued that we voted for statehood which is true historically. however that ignores how the US made us economically dependent on them and (1/2)
@_solarize_ true, I think you made a fair point about pirating American media. I can only speak on Latin America but we’re doing pretty well on that part. I just wish my ppl would let go of American fast food chains tho lmao
@_solarize_ ur initial post may have been satire but its still an ineffective idea. Too many targets weakens boycott efforts, plus the USA is self-sufficient enough that an art/media/etc boycott wouldn’t have caused much damage.
ftr while I believe the USA is imperialist, not (1/2)
@samsa_h4x She called you an “ugly incel” first, you’re the one who jumped to race which then escalated to referring to African nations as “ooga booga countries”
