*dies of death*

What the fuck does the back end of this website look like

Say you'll stay with me blogging until the horse poll closes

the idea that the british empire accepted their decline with grace and peacefully and willingly withdrew from all their colonial territories and took their loss quietly is commonly expressed as fact but it's very much untrue, it's a successful propaganda campaign for them to claim that this is what happened but they were busy committing war crimes throughout their colonial territories long after supposed "independence" & they continued/continue to maintain economic control over these regions and actively killed local movements that wanted economic sovereignty, land reform, nationalization of natural resources much like the united states did/does within their sphere of influence. i say this not to minimize the atrocities the us has committed but to make a point that the uk is also guilty of these crimes up to the present as much as they'd like to pretend this was an era that ended a century ago. british colonial violence isn't something that ended after ww2 it continued throughout the 20th century and still to this day if you look at the actions undertaken by the british military and their mercenaries throughout the former empire

for the past handful of years ive seen people say stuff like "well the british empire accepted their decline with grace and pulled out when they saw the ship sinking so why can't the us do that" and it's important that you understand that the british empire didn't actually do that and neither will their son lol

i know this is shocking to many of you but this is the mainstream belief in the uk + the narrative that is pushed at a state level, in school, by the bbc, etc. and i've heard it expressed by many canadians/americans/australians as well. "they quietly withdrew" is not just a media propaganda thing but a programme the british colonial office undertook to cover up their crimes, see operation legacy

"alas" is a truly S tier english word. fantastic mouthfeel, makes me sound like a world-weary wizard, looks cool when written out. good job to whoever created this word.

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things

i'm so tired of social media users saying "successful people are abusing stimulants". unsuccessful people are too. #WEMATTER

it’s weird that professional letters are supposed to start with “dear.” i don’t even call my mom that
