We should find a way to bring back gladitorial combat but non-lethal ofc. The coliseum could be flooded for naval combat! That's so sick. There's gotta be a way to bring this back T_T.

i'm just in a weird position in life where i feel my lack of social mobility and see people born to so much more than I was and feel paralyzed i guess? is god a white supremacist? why does it feel like every place that had the misfortune to be colonized is doomed to die like this. so many people hurt because they were born in a place that was too beautiful for them, for the bad luck of being born in a place near a beach. that's all it took for americans (tho many others) to continuously destroy so many

idk how to describe this feeling too well, but like, sometimes it just feels weird being a brown man in a white man's world. some wonder bread ass mfers can just go anywhere they want, actively change and warp places, culture, even memory for nothing more than their idle enjoyment

There's lots of ballrooms where I'm at that do waltz, swing, and Latin dances. Dance studios usually have a night dedicated to social dancing.

? Why are you pointlessly being an asshole?

The Young Lords tried doing something called "revolutionary machismo" and that was deemed as a failure strategy-wise.

Although gratified that the party had thought to include gender at all, the Women’s Caucus began to question this point, arguing that “revolutionary machismo” was a non-sequitor, or even an oxymoron, designed to keep gendered hierarchy intact. As Morales writes, one woman pointed out that “It’s like revolutionary racism. It just doesn’t make sense.”

At one of their first meetings, caucus members conducted a close reading of the 13-point program. When they came to point 10, the women laughed. It was obvious to them that this document was written by men. The idea of positive machismo made no sense. The word machismo implied aggression towards women. This work resulted in a “YLP Position Paper on Women.” It was published as a special insert in the September 25, 1970 issue of the Young Lords bilingual newspaper, Palante. Following the position paper, the leadership revised the 13-point program. The point on women was moved from point 10 to point 5. Machismo was no longer revolutionary. Instead, the Young Lords declared “Down with Machismo!”

Imagine hearing someone talk like this in irl...blindly screeching tankie as if anyone gives af

Thank you all so much for your concise explanations, it is incredibly helpful. @[email protected] I especially appreciate your clarification on the relative surplus population. I should really get around to reading Capital.

I'm honestly still in shock that we haven't seen Hezbollah engage with Israeli. This is the weakest it's ever been, how is this not the time to strike?

I've been working on a series of videos covering Puerto Rican history from the pre-colonial period all the way to the late 90s.

I didn't realize how much public, historical footage online is just locked by these websites selling them for HUNDREDS of dollars. It's frustrating that I got I have to settle with a big ass gettyimages watermark

100% true, they literally get subjugated to goodness, which is literally what they did to the Krogan.
