1. Bad Bunny is jabao
2. Heโs Boricua
3. Heโs not USian because he: a) doesnโt consider himself to be one, b) wasnโt born in the US*, c) the US is a different nation apart from Puerto Rico d) a colonized nation is still a nation with its own cultural, historical, and political ID

Native Americans did use the wheel, but not for transportation like Eurasian and African civilizations did. Like practically all indigenous ppl in the Americas, they used it for things like wheeled toys and pottery wheels, because wagons and carts had no practical use.

Puerto Rico has officially begun its dictatorial phase of long-term colonialism. The candidates for Resident Commisioner, (2) senators at-large, and (2) representatives at-large for the Movimiento Victoria Ciudadana party have had their candidacy nullified by the judge Cuevas

since not enough people are talking about puerto rico
heres a master ๐งต on information about the genocide going on, how the us is trying to make puerto rico an "american state", and how you can help !!
Also, another vital thing about this is that of the usage of โindigenousโ. The Yamato (Japanese) are not indigenous people. That would be the Ainu (who are still alive) and the Ryukyu (who are jointly occupied by the US and Japan).
Japan wasn't colonized in any meaningful sense by "Western" powers at any point in its history. European merchants were present in Japan during the period depicted and they even owned some land, but they were very much subject to the will of local daimyo and later the shogun. 1/
Review:
For a gringo channel talking about Puerto Rico, their analysis is sort of decent (in comparison to others ๐). But it has its mistakes. It focuses a lot on Operation Bootstrap, plantation economy, Jones Act (which they confuse with Jones-Shafroth Act), and 936,
Wagons and carts required big domesticable animals that could pull them which they did not have. The closest thing was the bison but domesticating it was extremely hard, and the other closest animal was the llama, which was ill-tempered and was only found the Andes.
I hate how disgustingly this is taken out of context. No this isnโt an islamophobic statement, this is the slogan used by Kurdish women being oppressed by the IR of Iran. The book as well has to do with the assassination of Mahsa Amini, a kurdish woman, for not wearing a hijab.
Actually, yelling and confronting gentrifiers is cool, praxis, and very productive. Inconveniencing them like they do to us generally works bc itโs a form of direct action that targets the colonization in the making. I believe every marginalized neighborhood should do it.
I donโt agree with this. The most imperialistic? Def the US, but the most authoritarian? Absolutely not. I see this problem arrise so many times and itโs this americocentric narrative and nature of discourse on western leftists circles of any kind: reverse american exceptionalism
The Andes being a very mountainous area, thus making wagons and carts useless. And even then, the llama population had not spread farther than the Andes so other not so mountainous regions could domesticate it.
That land is of the indigenous people of Guyana that live there. This is not a โit was wrongfully robbedโ, this land is not venezuelan, itโs indigenous land.

It isnโt just about the US interests and meddling - tho they are instigating and sowing divisions (& itโs working). However, the situation is not as simple as Vnzla โland-grabbingโ and โannexingโ - they have a legitimate claim to what has long been considered disputed territory.

Yes, they also invest in Israeli arms and spyware. And they keep occupying island of the south sea, attacking Filipino fishermen. They also employ debt trap deplomacy in places like Africa, impoverishing African countries even more.

I remember watching this phenomenal person that I always forget their name, talking about the history of third places and how anti-blackness during desegregation (โช๏ธ ppl not wanting coexistence) and Reagan reading a book about third places pushed the demolition & decline of them.
Though, I must add that Native Americans had rode horses for centuries before European colonizers brought horses with them. As stated by a new research study
If they used it to pull carts is still unknown, but they did use horses as transportation.
What does that have anything to do with ethnic cleansing you fucking morons?!?!? Hawaii has been going a genocide since itโs invasion and toppling of their government. Is the denationalization of its people, banning of its language, displacement of its people not genocide?
By your logic, the US annexing Puerto Rico is ok as long as the US doesnโt exploit Puerto Rico, but the thing is that doesnโt make any fucking sense because thatโs not how COLONIAL RELATIONSHIPS WORK YOU DUMB FUCK. ALL COLONIAL OCCUPATION LEADS TO EXPLOITATION.
The purpose of police is to protect and reinforce the state and private property. It has no other purpose. To believe thereโs an exception to this is incredibly stupid and naรฏve. A reactionary entity has no revolutionary capabilities.
* Regarding point b), this doesnโt even determine you as USian. Many Boricuas are born in the diaspora and still donโt consider themselves USians. Hope this clears things up, now go fuck yourself mamabicho โค๏ธ
The most mild critique with a couple of questions that were answered yet the barage of theists attacking Mia did not stop. Literally the most basic of atheist expressions was called antitheist (proving they donโt know the definition of both).
If this is the fucking position of the DSA Int Com regarding Taiwan, then none of their โstancesโ on decolonization are fucking true or meaningful. If youโre very much going to use colonialist rhetoric (the same one used by Israel to deny Palestineโs existance) then u should stfu

I always wanted to make an essay about the politics behind the brutalization of bodies and brutalized corpses. Itโs the way weโve talked about them, teached it, and, due to the internet, โconsumedโ it as a form of โmediaโ or โcontentโ.
Ok some corrections:
Carts did not necessarily required beasts of burden, some were held like it was the case of hand carts ()
Great Plains Native Americans (and others) used travois as a method of transporting belongings, children, and other things.
I think it is something so inevitable for right wing atheists or so called โnew atheistsโ to eventually drift into christianity again because their understanding of atheism was at best, youth rebellion, and at worst, the product of hatred.
Not only do the models look god forsaken (dare say AI generated), rebooting the series after the authorโs recent death, and bringing no new music is a total defeat of the purpose of Backyardigans and a desacration of not only our childhood but Janice Burgessโ creation.

Both of his parents are white. Just bc the mom could be boricua doesnโt make him automatically a POC, because latino is not a race nor is Puerto Rican a race. There are hundreds of thousands of white Puerto Ricans.
Holy shit anybody remember that app where you put your family or friendโs faces into six or eight slots and then it made a Christmas dancing montage with your their faces plastered on some elves dancing on Santaโs workshop to some shitty christmas music ๐๐๐

Theyโre not talking about Israel. Theyโre trying to convince their audience that the PRC invasion of Tibet was not an act of imperial aggression and that their continuous occupation of Tibet is actually good and definitely not colonialism.
The argument that the slavery system the aristocrats partook in Tibet is used to justify its colonization is fucking disgusting, not only does it make all Tibetans explicit in such system, it denies the existance of every communist Tibetan revolutionaries that fought against

Ah yes, the anti-colonialist Frantz Fanon wouldโve loved the slave state of Qatar who regularly traps immigrants inside its borders and forces them to do slave labor in the most extreme conditions and itโs also backed by the US military.
Itโs not โinhumaneโ that we are allowing them to wander the streets, itโs inhumane that we keep them in these conditions. These people need help, not the be posted online without their consent and be degraded.
I learned recently that the studios (Ecumene Games & Giants Craft) that developed this game have little online presence (which makes me question IGNโs decision to spotlight this) and on Giants Craftโs website it shows a Cross of Burgundy with the subtext โLong Live Hispanity
Human garbage right there. That poster is not meant to convert abusive transphobic parents into people that are more understanding of their trans children. It is meant to show support for the local trans community and to MAKE TRANS PEOPLE FEEL SUPPORTED.
The US is not the harborer of all austerity, tyranny, and oppression in the world. It partakes in it (as a colonized person Iโve seen the atrocities) but it does negate others from doing so and US leftists often minimalize many authoritarian regimes that are worse than the US.
Same Baryon that went on an ableist tangent against people with Cluster B Personality because they were โnaturally authoritarianโ or some bs he said
Thereโs something so putrid about these conservative men that claim to denouce the inhumanity of modesty culture, a dark systematic reality that oppresses women, but express it through the mockery of those womenโs suffering.
It is one of the single largest ecocides known to human history and all because white settlers wanted to kill the Native Americans by destroying their self-sufficiency and eventually stealing their land.
Ecocide and colonialism are inseparable.
Iโm not even the first person to point this out,
@Phlegmbuoy
heavily critized this way of thinking during the โUS police force is the most authoritarian police forceโ discourse which was the epitomy of white ppl not knowing the horrors of genocidal states and theocracies
I have a funny feeling that the reason why Chileans voted against the new constitution was because it granted the indigenous communities more rights and autonomy. It wasnโt because it was too radical, too environmentalist, too feminist. Itโs bc it was pro-indigenous.

As a boricua speaking towards another boricua, please shut the fuck up. A senile fascist man who let our people die and starve in the aftermath of a hurricane. Thatโs 4,645 people taken away from us in the form of a genocide by inconvenience. Do not downplay his crimes, cabrona.
