eh

Just a reminder that Saudi Arabia is responsible for one of the world's largest and most severe man made humanitarian emergencies. Their blockade of Yemen, which prevents food, water, medicine, and fuel from entering the country has caused a significant death toll. Emphasis here on man made as these were preventable.

It is, and it's arguably what they're currently doing to Venezuela too. Sanctions haven't been taken down despite the oil industry seize and the humanitarian crisis stemming from the recent earthquakes, may I remind you folks.

This is even more ironic knowing that Theodore Herzl was inspired by the Scramble for Africa and even proposed to Secretary of State for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, to colonize Cyprus or the Sinai Peninsula. Furthermore, in the Sixth World Zionist congress in 1903, Herzl proposed the Uganda Plan as a potential for Jewish colonization. However, the plan was ultimately rejected when they saw that the white settler colonizers in East Africa weren't so keen on sharing land with the Jewish colonizers, hence why they changed their focus to Palestine. I do not think the pioneer of an anti-colonial movement would be in bed with the likes of Joseph Chamberlain and Cecil Rhodes.

what i found very telling is that after i made that post (which included afroargentine sources), they all kept calling me and my compatriots racist while still ignoring afroargentines. they ignored julia from lunfarda travel who clearly said at the end of her video "if you want to learn about the history of racism in argentina talk to afroargentines" and "local voices should always come before viral narratives".

they repeat far right myths and call argentinians racist while erasing and outright silencing our afroargentinian and indigenous populations

Movement nudge!

viva argentina. muerte a la plaga imperialista

Anyway, when I was in college I was constantly going to marches and protests against canadian and saudi mining projects in the Santurbán páramo, one of the most important ecosystems in Colombia in terms of biodiversity, and the source of drinking water of 30+ municipalities in my state, including the city I live in. Ultimately these mining proposals lost their license due to environmental regulations.

Any story which refers to Haiti as an impoverished nation, which is all of them, should also mention that when Haitians won their independence from France, French gunships showed up and demanded they pay something like 22 billion dollars in today's money to compensate France for the stolen land and enslaved people they could no longer exploit

man people really just say stuff on here huh

People have been living in the downtown area of Tucson, Arizona for at least 4,500 years. The greater Santa Cruz river valley has been occupied by humans for 12,000 years.

Also want to point out that many Indigenous nations literally decided to prioritise NOT building permanent buildings. That was a choice they made. You know what permanent human-created things they left instead? THE LITERAL LANDSCAPE. Even though the settlers did their best to destroy it, the landscape was still tended and shaped by Indigenous people. Every biome that exists here was created by some nation or other, every plant was encouraged or discouraged by the local people who ranged in that area.
