This is a ridiculous quote but probably only to us. This is the ideology I was taught. We learned all about colonialism and its horrors in school, but the conclusion was never that colonialism was bad. The conclusion the kids reached based off the information provided, the take away the teachers wanted to leave, and of course our governments position boils down to - ‘it sucked, but we wouldn’t have our great amazing world now without it :^)’

Was drawn to this post for the same reason. C&H artists being based? Honestly wouldn’t have guessed it.

Oh lmao. First time hearing of this but I love this factoid. Boy, Israel either really loves children or really hates them. They can’t seem to decide!

If you’re part of the global south, there’s a decent chance NATO opposes you or someone you’re closely affiliated with. Is your suggestion to those countries for them to just not be part of the global south?

Because that’s incredibly hard to do.

NATO is a purely defensive alliance, not a battering ram.

You can definitely see how this isn’t true, right? It’d be incredibly problematic to be opposed by NATO and to have NATO creep up to your borders. Superpowers flipped their shit over stuff like this in the cold war all the time. It’s not any different today.

‘Cuz you ain’t been doin nothin’, if you ain’t been called a red, if you’ve marched or agitated, then you’re bound to hear it said…
