yep. he’s often touted as one of the less awful founding fathers cos he didnt own slaves, but… you know. this is him :D

my favorite quote about this:

24. Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Compexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.

yes, that part is for cooking

i assure you, we who grew up with celsius absolutely know the dire difference between 38 and 43. 38 is death, 43 is the crimson realms where even souls wither.

all this “which one is better for x” is nonsense, you develop a feel for whichever you grew up with. it’s just that the math is less stupid with metric. that’s all.

Chinese In Africa

OH NO!

standard spellings will always privilege one dialect over the others. usually the dialect of the ruling elite.

the only way out of this is to not reform the spelling. letting it rot will eventually get you to something like english spelling, which is often so far from the pronunciation that it’s just equally bad for everyone. and STILL standard english spelling privileges the prestige dialects, just not as much as a more recent, more phonetic orthography.

you evidently can!

what you have to realize is that these arent materialist sanctions, they’re idealist sanctions. which is good news, since the clowns “in charge” of europe are idealists.

never mind the spelling, will americans still pronounce it as weeger?

i’m going by hearsay here, i dont know what school is like in the US. i know what a single school was like in about 1998, but that doesnt tell me much about the rest of the country.

but from what i hear, the US has security gates and cops in schools, and the cops regularly brutalize and arrest the kids for random bullshit.

then they’ll put a cop next to each one of them and the cop will shoot the kids who come near it. that’ll fix it.

hah, thought this was terror haza (already a thing founded to both-sides the events of ww2), but this is something worse.

hungarians comparing fascists (murdered hundreds of thousands of hungarians) to communists (saved whoever was left from fascist slaughter) and through some magic coming out with soviets being worse… pathetic fascist shithole of a country.

ah yes, you see, US imperialism can only destroy a child’s body, but chinese imperialism will destroy their mind!

EEEEEEEVIL

quality of life + how white your education was, pretty much

oh they’ll sit down, sure. what they wont do is listen.

bring into fashion unix tools saying more things like “lo”.

lo! alas! but soft!

and the West actually has to sit down and listen because it no longer has monopoly control of the world’s hard and financial power.

there is no way the current generation of western leaders ever do this. no chance at all.

they’ll burn the world to ash before they’ll consider listening to people they consider subhuman.

muslims actually worship https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termagant

actually.

waking up?

the west woke up to the rise of islam at the battle of tours (732AD) and eventually responded by doing ethnic cleansing in the iberian peninsula (reconquista), slaughter in the levant (crusades) and kept on going until the present day slaughters and ethnic cleansings.

how much more awake could they be?! i kid, i kid, i know you want to glass the middle east you sick fuck.

it happens like that sometimes. see also jimi’s all along the watchtower.
