@yalad_w@putxiwhipped6@natalzBouetard@JTate98@PanasonicDX4500@lpolgreen taught me that it was way more of a disaster than commonly portrayed throughout history. I recommend America, América, a New History of the New World, by Greg Grandin. The first part of this book goes into great detail of the first few centuries of European involvement in America
@yalad_w@putxiwhipped6@natalzBouetard@JTate98@PanasonicDX4500@lpolgreen I can see why you feel that way. I read this book about the history of the Americas starting with the first western settlers arriving. Before, I knew the things that went down were tragic, but reading this history book and exploring its sources…
@yalad_w@putxiwhipped6@natalzBouetard@JTate98@PanasonicDX4500@lpolgreen All due respect, I think the integration was barely as much of a consideration as you think it was. Their empires grip slipped and bowed to their internal critics about the infeasibility of managing so much new land all at once. The Spanish let go and the conquistadors stayed
@yalad_w@putxiwhipped6@natalzBouetard@JTate98@PanasonicDX4500@lpolgreen The level of death and destruction inflicted by the conquistadors in South and Central America is practically unrivaled by any other colonizing nation, it can only be compared to some of the worst wars in our human history- except it was dragged out over the course of 200 years
@Cr4zyTgirl@Random672125@JohnCyberpunk99@sadbutsegsy@onbeinganangel suddenly eligible to be diagnosed with ASD, there’s going to be some culture clash on what it means to be a low or high functioning ASD. Rick, who has debilitating ASD keeping him nonverbal and lower cognitive function, is a different case from Jim, who just seems to be awkward
@Cr4zyTgirl@Random672125@JohnCyberpunk99@sadbutsegsy@onbeinganangel I’m sure he means well enough, you gotta understand that the general populace’s relationship with the word autistic is that it means the severely-to-highly disabled people. So when autism got redefined to autistic spectrum disorder, and a much larger population of folks are…
@cosmicreamjam@instamixcoffee@dankkepng It was my favorite location in all of Destiny, I wanted as much story/exposition as possible surrounding it. It’s why I love GoS and its lore tabs so much. We may have destroyed the Black Heart, but I wanted to explore how the Vex got there or what it was like before them
@praesto04 No, you’re wrong. The primary reason(which was kept secret by the San Shyuum who’d eventually become Truth and Mercy) was that humans were the *reclaimers*, inheritors to the Mantle. This was confirmed in Contact Harvest, written by Joseph Staten, released a month after Halo 3
@ThomasNguyen7@bootleg_yeezys@Srirachachau hes seemingly already been abandoned by his benefactors, gutsy moves like this feel like evidence of that. He can turn heel and start running with anti-Zionism so he can score popularity points all he wants, but without his billionaires, he has nothing. No fan base, no integrity
@ThomasNguyen7@bootleg_yeezys@Srirachachau honestly I was gonna do a sort of dunk since I’ve had this account since 2013 and I was convinced yours would be from 2025 or something, but you’ve had your account longer than mine.
For real though, trumps just a symptom, there’s a reason people are pissed at dems too
@ThomasNguyen7@bootleg_yeezys@Srirachachau I blame them too. I blame them all. Its one big party theyre all in, and none of us, not even you, are invited
But of course, blame by itself isnt gonna change anything. You feel like being a hero and doing something Drastic in DC? Thatd be more productive than sucking off dems
@ThomasNguyen7@bootleg_yeezys@Srirachachau 2 years ago isn’t necessarily a long time, and Biden helped kickstart the Gaza genocide again during the May 2021 “operations”. His administration helped set the table for October 2023, and had every opportunity to tell Bibi to kick rocks but didn’t. They’ve never pushed back
