Being argentine over the past 100 years is just being a worker but watching your government and elites on a ferris wheel of loan&debt from the IMF and other countries over and over again

Oh, we're rich!
Oh, we're poor
Oh, we're rich!
Oh, we're poor

and then they say, hey atleast we're not paraguay

I'm seeing a lot of effort being made to *not* consider it

I wish it was applied that equally, but no 😓

pro palestinian protestors demonstrate against trump all the time.

this idea that they only protest democrats is just false.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

Its pretty sad how they don't see the correlation between them and the white nationalists on the other side of the isle

Both of them use the same knee-jerk, "you just hate white people" as a defense

Ngl, i kinda hate the word expat because even though i was born in the US i don't look white and if i ever immigrated anywhere else permanently and forfeited my citizenship i wouldnt be seen as an american expat, i'd be seen as an immigrant from america.

Its like, a very privileged term in my mind

Goodbye Munty 👋🏼

I hope your values exist long after that flag does not

"How can white people possibly see the error of their ways?"

Literally just learn about US history, here and abroad.

Learn about operation condor and the dirty wars

Learn about the MOVE Bombing and the tuskegee experiments

Learn about Carmelita Torress and the bath house riots

Learn US History

its old school jingoism repackaged

You really have to go out of your way to ignore huge chunks of US history and foreign policy to not see this

The people in this thread certainly think of it as patriotic, and they see that as a good thing

What do you think i'm doing
proudbulba.bsky.social
the very foundation of the country is & always has been white nationalism

We're not going to be able to deal with the country we have currently until people come to terms with that

If you want to rally people under a banner that doesnt represent racial oppression, that banner cannot be the US flag
proudbulba.bsky.social
Ahh 😭 i didnt know that
proudbulba.bsky.social
I sincerely wonder if these people think that once trump is out of office that white nationalism will just go away.
proudbulba.bsky.social
Who are you without your american ness?
proudbulba.bsky.social
I guess my question is, is it more important to you to attempt to ammeliorate an image that has always represented white nationalism?

Or to actually hear out non-white people when they say, hey i dont feel represented by patriotism, and i don't want to be associated with patriotism?
proudbulba.bsky.social
People are acting like the US flag existed in this prejudice-free time before white nationalism existed

and it simply did not, the two have always been associated
proudbulba.bsky.social
Who did the white racists appropriate the flag from?

Was it the white settler colonial state that committed mass killings of indigenous people and used african people as slaves?
proudbulba.bsky.social
I feel like if you study US history its not hard to see how patriotism in this white settler colony is tied to whiteness.
proudbulba.bsky.social
first, its that we see white nationalists using patriotism as a rallying cry. J6 was a lot of self identified patriots. Similar to Timothy McVeigh, Eric Robert Rudolph.

second, its all the atrocities that have been committed against non-white people in the name of white patriotism/nationalism.

Its a squirtle. Idk why its very cute though.

Trust me, the group of people you DO NOT want to invoke the wrath of is sober alcoholics.
