People here are seriously embracing literal mysticism as cope instead of reevaluating and doing material analysis
Lying as a vulgar display of power
I'm a refugee from Burgerland
His account was the US and Norway. He really honed in on Norway actually, based on its military diving expertise and shared interest with the US in exporting oil and gas to the rest to the Europe
Ghana is not under the CFA dictatorship however. Under the leadership of Kwame Nkrumah, it broke decisively from French imperialism.
It broke from British imperialism. France did not colonize Ghana.
The document gives his name as Michael Acevedo, so he is probably Latino.
I think the more straightforward answer here is imperial military privilege.
The same OP of that thread called a biracial person in this thread a "half cracker" to dismiss their discomfort with posts they feel are hateful or self-hateful.
I think we should be able to recognize that there is a line crossed by some of these posts where they aren't really jokes anymore, and actually reflect essentialist ideology. that's a lack of theoretical understanding, and worse, a lack of kindness and empathy for different perspectives.
you should reflect on how saying something like this to a marginalized person expressing their discomfort is harmful and antisocial. Do you talk to people like this in real life too?
Also, are you white? Fully, that is
If the answer is yes, I suspect you have a lot more actual self-crit, not self-flaggelation, to do.
(I myself am white, so if any nonwhite users here want to chime in on this or push back on what I said, I would appreciate it.)
I don't think they educate anyone in that. If one finds them funny, one is already well convinced of critiques of white supremacy. They're jokes, not education.
I just want more creative jokes tbh
Still holding out on my $1000 bet. I have a feeling he is going to be acquitted, house arrested instead of prison (the agreement was prison), or be reelected and pardon himself. He deserves worse but I don't want justice, I want to stay solvent.
Lookin like a Roald Dahl villain
China supported the same rebels that the West did in Angola and Afghanistan to fight Cuba, the Soviet Union, and their allies. They invaded Vietnam to defend Pol Pot. They did far worse than peaceful coexistence, they actively aligned with US foreign policy all in the name of "anti-revisionism." It's ultraleft nonsense
