Exactly Three Shots For Exactly Three Engraved Bullets Is Crazy I Have Not Seen This Kind Of Methodical

We have always existed, and we always will.

You know the American history courses I took always stopped around the 80s

Only AP went further, and it never focused too much on the 90s or the 00s even though you could very well do that.

And have it to be more relevant than whatever the fuckboys were touting in the 1700s.

I just think that that’s interesting.

America was doing all manners of nonsense in the periods you’re not taught about.

I mean maybe it’s different in other American high schools.

But I personally think that American history should focus more on the gulf war.

Maybe on Israeli-Palestinian relations.

African SAPs.

The colonialist policies of the IMF and World Bank.

Seriously why the fuck do we bother so much with the Founding Fathers and all their blathering about freedom while black women waited on their children?

Americans should be learning about how their capitalist system has fucked over every country they’ve written off as backwards.

Like I have no idea how us history is taught in other schools.

But I get the feeling that America would rather focus on the “distant” past.

America doesn’t wanna talk about the war on terror or Iran contra or the AIDS epidemic or the six day war and why we and Britain fucked up an entire region after world war 2.

Or how we started terrorist groups and put military dictatorships in place to protect our companies and their profits.

Or how the institutions that we essentially control are keeping those in poverty in poverty.

Seriously.

Enough with James Madison, who cares about human rights when your own government ignores the blatant human rights violations of a country that we’re allies with?

Come on.

American history can start with the damn Boston tea “massacre” if it wants, but why don’t we linger some more on Afghanistan?

We were involved.

We watched while our shock therapy programs fucked up Yugoslavia.

We watched while capitalism put nationalism in power and stirred ethnic violence.

And guess what?

American history is rooted in colonialism.

Which had a hand in the Rwandan genocide.

Which was ignored and debated in the UN, controlled monetarily by yours truly.

So please for the love of god.

Talk about the War of 1812 for like a day.

Go over American intervention in places it doesn’t belong for the rest of the year.

Go over slavery, yes, go in depth about reconstruction and segregation. These are important parts of American history.

But so is the era America decided its companies needed steady markets from every portion of the world so they could make billions instead of millions and decided to fuck everyone else over in the process.

I hope the CEO of united healthcare gets stuck in queue at the pearly gates indefinitely while terrible Muzak plays and an angel’s voice very occasionally calls out “Your afterlife is very important to us. Please stay in the line” and then his entrance is denied.

“I feel bad for his kids.” I don’t. They’re gonna get the best therapy money can buy. They’re gonna have nannies to take care of them. And once they become adults they’ll get enough money to set them up for life.

My mom died when I was a kid and my dad had to take care of us by himself on artist wages. If you’re struggling to make rent with your commissions, imagine trying to support two kids on top of that while trying to deal with the deaths of your wife and your father within a month of each other.

So yeah. I don’t feel bad for any of his family. They’ll do fine without him. They’ve got the money for it.

Fishy things

musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction

If I don't start seeing AO3 tags with "no beta we die like the UHC CEO" I'm gonna lose what little faith I have in humanity

save the environment, LGBTQ rights too. commit to artist unions. How about a moat? Or iron gate? a goon? How about all that. think it over sire.
