Peruvian revolutionary. José Gabriel Condorcanqui descended by maternal line from the royal dynasty of the Incas: he was the great-great-grandson of Juana Pilco-Huaco, the daughter of the last Inca sovereign, Túpac Amaru I, who had been executed by the Spanish in 1572. More than two hundred years later, In 1780, the vigorous José Gabriel, a charismatic, cultured and elegant man, led the most important of the indigenous uprisings against the Spanish colonial authorities.

Son of the chief Miguel Condorcanqui, he was born in Surimana or perhaps in Tungasuca around 1738. An educated and charismatic man, he became chief of Tungasuca, Surimana and Pampamarca, and the royal authorities granted him the title of Marquis of Oropesa.

His prestige among the Indians and mestizos allowed him to lead a rebellion against the Spanish authorities in Peru in 1780; This rebellion (preceded by other similar ones) broke out due to the discontent of the population against the abuses of the magistrates and against the taxes, the distribution of merchandise and the mandatory work benefits imposed by the Spanish (mitas and obrajes).

José Gabriel Condorcanqui adopted the name of his ancestor Túpac Amaru as a symbol of rebellion against the colonizers. He presented himself as the restorer and legitimate heir of the Inca dynasty and sent emissaries to spread the rebellion throughout Peru. the Rebels not only the insistent abuses of the corregidores, but also the harshness of some of the recent measures promoted by the Spanish monarchy itself were the engine of the uprising of Túpac Amaru II .

After the failure of the revolt, which has been seen as the prelude to the struggles for independence, he was executed with extreme cruelty, linking his fate to that of his ancestor. Indigenous rebellions continued for two years in various regions of the country, forcing the authorities to introduce little more than a few reforms. But the name of Túpac Amaru became a symbol and flag for later indigenous and Creole insurrections; Still in the 20th century, various revolutionary guerrilla movements claimed his figure Like the MRTA

      You're well on your way to being The Person Who Actually Read the Books. Just avoid being The Person Who Didn't Read the Books But Quoted Passages that Serve them Out of Context.

      Farming is an incredibly dangerous job. So many of those workers lose fingers, limbs, lives. Workplace safety is essentially non-existent (emergency healthcare is also not close by because they're rural). Plus the day-to-day dangers of being out in the sun and working with chemicals, tons of farmers and farm laborers get melanoma so easy.

      If you want to read about some gruesome farm accidents, check out this article about drowning in corn. Despite the silly premise it's actually a real danger for farm workers and a horrifying way to go. Instead of regular drowning, the weight of the grain presses tighter and tighter against your chest until you can no longer inhale.

    My grandma has leukemia :deeper-sadness:. We were already expecting it for some time because she was having blood problems but still...

    She's also been hospitalised for a pulmonary infection (not covid), but she's getting a little better on that front. However that rules out any kind of chemotherapy for now. Things are not looking good :deeper-sadness:

    I just want to state for the record, in case anyone was considering it, shitting yourself whilst collapsed in the middle of an empty NHS corridor at 4am because the nurse was too busy watching Rush Hour 2 to answer your emergency call (or asleep with it on, one of the two) is actually not fucking fun at all. Nor is having to wait ten minutes to be found.

    Nor is having your favourite baja hoody incinerated by lazy staff who couldn't fucking be bothered to clean it.

    So yeah 0/10, not reccomended.
