of course, lebensraum drew straight from manifest destiny, USA and its lapdogs have yet to answer for their crimes
Yet to answer for, yet to pay restitution, yet to even truly liberate us even
“If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress is healing the wound that the blow made… And they won’t even admit the knife is there.”
– Malcolm X, 1964
Almost 60 years and ain’t shit changed
hey have you watched “the man in the high castle” it’s about alternative universe in which the nazis won, can you imagine if that happened, can you imagine if they just took over an entire continent and murdered almost everyone on it and installed a fascist christian ethnostate and went about playing world police for 80 years, that would be real fucked up
no but I’ve watched Harry Potter. Expelliarmus! Crypto Patronym! Terra Nullius!
I made a similar observation several years ago. For the American tribes still present, The Man in the High Castle is a reality for them.
My favorite part about the book is that there’s an alt-alt-history novel the characters will sometimes read, The Grasshopper Lies Heavy where instead the Allies win the alt-history version of WW2. In the alt-alt-history, after the Allies win they basically do a positive imperialism where they conquer Africa and China, somehow eliminate poverty, spread the New Deal worldwide, then the US and UK get into a cold war that the UK wins.
I took it to mean that PKD thought even in a liberal’s wildest imagination, even when under the direct threat of fascism, they’d write a book about how they almost win and then lose.
Not every exasperated petty bourgeois could have become Hitler, but a particle of Hitler is lodged in every exasperated petty bourgeois.
this thing keeps going off whenever I browse non- local, what’s up with that
It may seem like a workable solution but don’t take the batteries out. It’s like taking the batteries out the smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm. You get a bit of peace and quiet but the problem gets bigger.
Inside a westerner there are two wolves
One is Mussolini, the other is Hitler
Kind of a disservice to commie westerners, like me (please forgive me for the heinous crime of being polish 😭😭😭), who saw the light and dropped Mussolini and Hitler. It was a hard and long poop, the one you have to take your shirt off on, but they got out.
Don’t worry, we are not westerners, never were and never will be. Now if only our compatriots noticed that pretty clear 1000 year huge memo…
