They think of “urban” as synonymous with Black and that explains a good deal of the invalidation of urban spaces as “real America”

sometimes you'll learn that, like, Napoleon did legal reforms which are the basis for many countries legal systems today. with slavery you learn that men would rape people and enslave their own children

"the elite of the antebellum South were degenerate gamblers who financed their lifestyles with industrialized rape and would kill you for pointing this out" is a straightforwardly accurate statement

slavery is one of the rare things historically where the more you learn about it the more you realize your initial assessment was correct and it was in fact one of the most evil things ever to occur

They had some options in between, but they were also literal children so I'm not gonna fault them too hard for that.
in about 2000 I watched an entirely demented cartoon while babysitting about teens going back in time to save Martin Luther King by dissuading him from becoming an activist, but then they get back to the present and it's racist so they go back to convince him to accept death.

I always like to tell this story but during WWII, a 23 year old PHD mathematician from Harvard was able to solve the 8th Air Force’s gunnery problem in like 2 months without spending a day in the military (turns out you have to lead your target)
Hegseth to US military: if you get into MIT, we won't let you attend because of the risk that you will be exposed to ideas hostile to MAGA when you study there.

The USSR was a founding member and permanent member of the UN Security Council. The USSR then led by bleeding heart and notable squish *check notes* Josef Stalin
i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

The UN was founded because the previous 40 years had seen the most destructive conflicts in human history. The UN charter is written in the blood of millions.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

Driving through random American towns, you will casually encounter heresies that would trigger religious wars that kill tens of thousands in Europe.
Just passed a church where their decoration is a crucified Jesus is coming down off the cross under his own power. okay.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

this is yet another example of DHS employees literally doing the kind of thing that would get your entire family bloodline erased in morality tales from medieval times, like, bread and salt shit
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

anyway, it turns out that like half the people talking about this are talking about gavin newsom, who is never going to be president, and i am confident enough about this that i simply refuse to offer an opinion about whether i'd vote for him if i had to — i won't have to
this isn't a binary choice; it is a candidate's responsibility to get votes, and it is the citizen's responsibility to vote for the candidate who will produce the best outcomes (or avoid the worst). you can argue all day about harris' campaign but citizens chose trump, an objectively terrible choice
The inversion of electorial responsibilities by American libeerals is extremely bizarre to me. It's a mentality that Democrats cannot fail voters, the voters fail Democrats. If "your guy" didn't win it has nothing to do with the guy and everything to do with a disobedient electorate.
