@fleshsimulator @atlanticesque In their defense, according to most accounts Rowland was mostly likely innocent and a black man being strung up on false pretenses wasn’t exactly an unfounded fear in the Jim Crow Era.

Well they can't exactly say "A group of black WWI vets started shooting into a crowd of unarmed white people in order to protect a black rapist"

Black guy next to me watching an AI-generated tiktok about the Tulsa Race Riot “In Tulsa, poor, filthy whites looked with envy over at one of the wealthiest black communities in America, and they wanted to get even” We’re so doomed

@JJ_McCullough A good example of this is the scene from the Tintin comic Destination Moon (1953) where Professor Calculus flies of the handle from being called a goat, which I imagine would strike a younger reader as peculiar rather than comically extreme.
English
"Goat" is a good example of a slang term that has completely changed in meaning in recent years. A usage from 2002, as in this review of the movie "Frida" by Roger Ebert, now reads to modern eyes as having the exact opposite meaning of what was originally intended.

@D_MAG____ @medievalmlord I think Omar Bradley is the guy to the right of MacArthur and George C. Marshall for the guy between Truman and Nimitz.

@medievalmlord Roosevelt, Truman, Patton, MacArthur, Nimitz, Eisenhower… and who else?

I think if AOC vs Rubio 2028 actually happened it would spur a smut industry bigger than Marvel

@agraybee This also says Angola had ‘regime change’ despite the MPLA being in charge for 50+ years and Jonas Savimbi being turned into Swiss cheese in a random firefight in 2002, despite the combined efforts of the US, China, and SA. This is deeply unserious.
English
This says we regime changed Iran this year. Also Cuba.

length of the table of contents in "united states involvement in regime change"

No, it’s not.
That the government interred Japanese during WWII does not mean at all that their neighbors and fellow citizens had issues with them.
I have concerns that Chinese students help the CCP, but I’ve never seen, or heard of, Chinese neighbors being an issue.
You’re twisting things because you don’t like people noticing.

This might be the most historically ignorant tweet I've ever read

@CartoonsHateHer Funnily enough, my high school physics teacher was also a part-time magician. That was also the least eccentric thing about him.

@AzanKhan30 @BrahminReich @DrewPavlou That is incorrect. Lebensraum came from the Drang nach Osten (Drive to the East) concept, which circulated among German nationalists as long and probably longer than any concept of Manifest Destiny. If the US stopped at the Mississippi, Lebensraum would've still existed.
English
@BrahminReich @DrewPavlou Lebensraum is a straight copy of Manifest destiny. Hitler was writing erotica about America before WW2.

America is not fucking Nazi Germany dude and the situation with Hispanic Americans is absolutely nothing like what Jews faced in Nazi Germany

if your a jewish person in Nazi Germany, you need to protest holding up the nazi flag otherwise it's bad optics.

@gehteuchnix48 @TrueSlazac 1) Expropriation without compensation, while bad isn’t genocide and 2) SA suffers tens of thousands of murders a year, overwhelming black men, with more dying per day on average than all farm murder per year. They ‘do nothing’ because crime is endemic and law enforcement weak.
English
@TrueSlazac But the gov did the land stealing law and does nothing about the farm murders even without EFF.
English
This is really funny because the EFF is one of the only parties that’s not in his government

BREAKING: President Trump brings a TV into the Oval Office in front of the South African President and shows him a video of his own government calling for the genocide of white farmers. Savage. "Turn the lights down. Turn the lights down and just put this on." Cyril Ramaphosa was speechless 😂

@BTestudine @Joshua4570 @TrueSlazac They‘re referring to the Freedom Front Plus, which is part of the GNU and primarily represents Afrikaners.

@Joshua4570 @TrueSlazac The party that disappeared in 1997?
