@prophet50316712 The image of John Calvin reading a manga in his little hovel in Switzerland just to add it to his own personal catechism is so beautiful
Greta stopped being a media darling when she started connecting climate to capitalism. Now that she connects climate to colonialism and genocide, she has fallen outside the acceptable bounds of corporate media altogether.
It's so crazy because vietnam just had a massive cyclone smack into the entire north of the country and volunteers immediately began assembling see through MREs which also contained bandages, shampoo, disinfectant, beer, cigarettes, and a lighter and the police began using...
“why do so many ‘health workers’ have Hezbollah Pagers?” because Hezbollah Pager isn’t a real thing. because that’s what happens supply chains are contaminated. just because the propaganda needs you to be very stupid to believe it doesn’t mean you’re obliged to become that stupid
Class time: Let's use the Overton Window to discuss how pagers-as-booby-traps is really bad for humanity, and how journalists are already failing at this basic test of ethics and morality.
In Appalachia, our cultural foods have evolved in the way that they have because our ancestors were poor and starving. Poor, white southerners ate foods that were cheap and calorically-dense. This is why we now eat biscuits and gravy, grits, and local vegetables cooked in leftover animal fats.
They were lucky to have had things like flour and grease to make gravy. My grandparents regularly only had this to eat, and even then, the food was scarce.
Cuisine that has evolved from poverty is not exclusive to another race or another country. Americans, Europeans, white people in general — have all struggled with poverty, and many of our cultures adapted and survived eating scraps, like these people are doing now. You are not genetically superior because you are blessed with abundant resources. You are lucky to have been born into the abundant wealth that America has today. Using these peoples’ suffering as evidence that Haitian immigrants are an inferior people is mind-blowingly cruel and ignorant.
If you want to look down on Haitian immigrants because people in their homeland are starving, then I guess you should deport all of us in Appalachia and plenty of southerners whose ancestors worked hard but still spent years doing things like this to SURVIVE.
You are the entitled elite that republicans claim to hate so much.
Being English is constantly realising that every twee little turn of phrase you picked up as a kid is actually a reference to empire or an outright slur.
🚨 UPDATE: The far-right National Rally (RN) says it supports the appointment of Michel Barnier as PM.
This means that liberal President Emmanuel Macron has formed a de facto coalition with the fascist far right, in order to keep the left out of power.
