this might be the most "this community" picture I've ever seen
Two of my closest friends have living family members who fled their countries because of US actions in the 1970s. Their respetive families' countries are on other sides of the globe. So yes it's very appropriate to be still mad.
70s? I spent the entire of our dog walk yesterday ranting about shit America did in the 16 and 1700s lmao
haha it's not like past actions shaped our present world or anything haha
Pretty sure this article is the Onion writers looking at themselves in the mirror.
Yeah, some people on twitter thought it was making fun of leftists, but this is definitely meant to be relatable to people who come off weird to their friends and family for caring too much about US foreign policy.
I guess when you have to professionally view the world as every piece of media fitting into a larger media narrative it's hard to turn it off.
Considering the reactions these things are simultaneously true. Lolita may not be about glorifying pedophiles (ok I am not sure about this) but it was one of Epstein's favorite book.
Because as well all know: who controls the past, controls....nothing because we're living in the end of history! Come on, let's party like it's 1999!
if you haven't heard TrueAnon Episode 69 Raising Atlantis (premium) where Matt and WIll guest, it really goes into this. Matt has a great rant about how history makes the present

me, walking around mumbling about "fucking imperialists" and "the goddamn state department" under my breath constantly
It's easier to take the grill pill when you're in the US. At least you know you won't be subject to US foreign policy.
There's also the way all the bad shit the US government has admitted to is at least 40 years old.
And in 40 years, all the bad shit the US government will have admitted to will be at least 40 years old.
Because they generally declassify stuff after 40 years.
In fact, the automatic declassification executive order in 1996 was going to be set at 40 years, because that was already standard practice. People objected that that made it useless, so Clinton made it 25 years with lots of loopholes instead so it could be differently useless.
I feel like most Americans who start examining American history are gonna go through this phase. We basically aren't taught anything but the few decent parts in school so when you actually start reading into everything it's a constant stream of "We did WHAT?!". I'm still stuck in it.
Anything not in the current 4 year presidential admin Is ancient history
Also done it in 2000s, 2010s and probably will do it again in a few months.
American government gets the meat sweats if it's been over 9 years since they did a coup in South America.
this, but the boyfriend and I are both upset, and we're scaring the kitty with our ranting
It's me, but it's also me laughing at the people still mad about the SPD selling the communists out in the 30s.
Wer hat uns verraten~
