I think my most extensive and well thought out thread about the ‘current times TM’
Watch this clip. Notice any parallels? I certainly do, and I explain them in about 1000 characters in the quoted thread.
@RepThomasMassie@RepThomasMassie entering his Cicero arc. I am here for it.
Who’s Caesar? Who’s Pompey, Who’s Crassus? Who’s Cato? Who’s Labeinus? Who’s Lepidus? Who’s Octavian? Who’s Marc Antony?
The point being, history is a lot more interesting, and a lot easier to understand in hindsight.
@Tay170398@rad1sharif Because our food supply is just poison. We have no choice in that part.
We also have a lot of lazy people, but it’s so wide spread because most of the things your politicians banned, we are forced to eat.
@GiftToThunder@rad1sharif You can find Gold’s Gym memberships and Planet Fitness memberships pretty regularly for $30 or less a month.
They aren’t great, but yeah, you can get that. Not sure if they’re $15 anymore like they were when I was in high school.
@EleonoraFall@kirawontmiss Yeah the northern ones migrated to Argentina.
My family are either from Naples or Sicily. Depending if mom’s or step dad’s side.
@kirawontmiss 1. The northern Italians that migrated moved mostly to Argentina, not the US. We got the southern Italians. Lake Como is in the North.
2. Living in a pretty place doesn’t mean much when you’re starving for much of the year, and have no prospects of upward societal mobility.
@allmoshnopit The southeast and northwest get inordinate amounts of rain.
We have insane weather here compared to Europe, much more similar to south and Southeast Asia, with an alley that gets tornados like no where else in the world.
@Lonl0ng@ArchysLife Yeah our parents were propagandized, and willingly bought into it because of their quality of life. Unfortunate, but all we can do is try and make a better world for tomorrow.
If we keep at eachother’s throats, tomorrow will not be better.
@Lonl0ng@ArchysLife Nothing the US has done compares to King Leopold’s (Belgium) excursion in the Congo, for example. At least in sheer horror and brutality.
But not here to compare these things. What I’ll say is, in general, we need to move forward, because we have no way to change the past.
@RogueScholarPr James Bond doesn’t talk about white pride or white civil rights issues numb nuts.
Also, Bond is a fictional character. 007 is generally accepted as an agent designation, not a continuous single person.
@Tr0llvinTuCompa@ArchysLife Get off social media and stop getting all your opinions from there and the news.
We regularly acknowledge what our government has done across the world.
There’s 330 million people here.
Our parents bought into the propaganda, the younger generations aren’t.
@Tr0llvinTuCompa@ArchysLife Yeah man, I agree. The same people have fucked over the average American for the last 100 years.
The American boomer is the most propagandized person in the western world. Everyone under 40 here knows this.
We hope to change it, like I’m sure you guys do.
