we have to ostracize predators and 4channers and racists from all of our communities methinks

white europeans love to pretend like the united states and europe aren’t two cheeks of the same ass

Listen, nobody who's ever opened a history book says we didn't do that shit first. Pick an atrocity and chances are there was a time europeans did it on mass to someone for the sake of profit. The difference, is that we have for the most part put that behind us, while the US is just sinking deeper and deeper into it. We're not perfect, and we were a lot worse in the past. But it has been a while since we were the problem

It's nuts how common it is to not allow children to be angry, even (especially) in households where adults are angry all the time. As a child I knew my own anger was unacceptable--not just expressing it outwardly but feeling it at all. So now as an adult my immediate reaction to my own anger is often to feel guilt instead of like. Noticing when someone is being rude or unfair or my boundaries are being violated or whatever. fucked up.

The Dark Site Finder map lets you get a good sense of where near you might be good for stargazing.

a funny thing about having a Problematic Blorbo is that you'll periodically come across a post along the lines of "um let's not forget that [Blorbo] is a bad person..." listing their various crimes, and if you have a modicum of intellectual honesty you find yourself nodding along and saying yeah it's true... but it's the greyness of their character that makes them so compelling... At the same time though you have a little Saul Goodman in your ear going "your honor in their defense: who cares like omfgggg who caresssssss like come onnnnnn"

"The native intellectual, at the beginning of his career, tries to give proof of the fact that he has assimilated the culture of the occupying power... The native intellectual who goes back to his people wears European clothes, and in the way he speaks, in his mannerisms, he shows that he has adopted the very forms of the colonizer. The colonizer is right, he says, the colonizer has conquered and we must take his place. We must prove to him... that we can do as much as he can. The native intellectual, in short, wants to be recognized by the colonizer." — The Wretched of the Earth, Chapter 4: "On National Culture"
