Unfortunately .world is in a country with strict laws against that sort of thing, so they are at very real risk of getting shut down if they change their rules against calling for violence.
Well, let’s be real; pull off the ‘why no one want kids’ mask and you get the actual things they’re saying: ‘why no one want to make white babies because Great Replacement Theory’ and ‘why no one want to be bound to poor working conditions and wage slavery’.
Nothing sinister at all. It has a long and proven track record. Which you can check out if you don’t want to be low-info anymore. Doctors and dentists support it.
But there’s a subset of people who want us to go back to disease-ridden serfs, because when your teeth are falling out and 3 out of your 5 kids died young from disease and you can barely make rent, you’re too distracted to care what other people are doing.
Goodness no, I hate the Russian and Chinese government. They can all go take a long walk off a short pier.
And the fact that we can address these things, and occasionally change them (unlike China and Russia), is I suppose a bit encouraging.
But that’s small encouragement next to the mass slavery, targeted attacks, and disenfranchisement throughout our history, and so much of it by regular everyday citizens cheerfully doing terrible things to other regular everyday citizens, no (or very little) government involvement required.
And it’s still going today. The majority of people in this country refused to vote, or voted for a felon who ran on a program of destroying the constitution, over a PoC woman. Because they liked Trump’s message more, or, even more damning, figured that since they probably wouldn’t be impacted, it didn’t matter.
What, to the American slave, is your 4th of July? I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim.
To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy—a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.
There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices, more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour.
-Frederick Douglas
We’ve never really been great, unless you were White and Male. But we have been good at selling the grift.
In my district the highest drug use was in a predominantly white school.
This had nothing to do with race and everything to do with the fact that they had a large campus and so could find more places to get out of sight to do drugs.
Supreme Court Justices among other things.
