afuck it i’m subjecting everyone on tungle dot net to my fucking simmering rage I went to an exhibition at a local museum about the Maya, featuring a fuck ton of artifacts, replicas of some artifacts so people could touch and feel, and a few interactive displays about the Mayan calendar, language, and a display showing currently-spoken Mayan languages. I can’t explain how fucking upset it made me on the inside. I am gonna clarify now, I am not any flavor of indigenous to the Americas- Dad was Central Asian, Mom was Latin American with the family likely by way of Spain. But, oh my gods, fuck the Spaniards and every single one of the motherfuckers who came afterwards. I always quietly detested the shit Europeans and their nation-offspring pulled on the indigenous Americans from Spanish contact to present day but fucking hell. Seeing the shit that was preserved made me wonder how much shit was picked clean between the Valle de Mexico and Chile from the big 3 pre-Columbian societies (Aztec/Aztecah, Maya/Winik, Inca/Tawantinsuyu) and just... the shit that was fucking taken, burned, completely destroyed. It’s a fucking miracle Mayan languages and Quechua are spoken widely, hell I don’t think Nahuatl was as lucky but at least there are ~2 million speakers left. Which is, comparably to say, Spanish, a drop in the fucking bucket. The shit we lost, man. Fuck. 500 years ago someone said “Fuck it, ours now” and torched a continent for all the shit they could carry back home and unknowingly brought along a chemical weapon to speed it up. I dare you to honestly fucking look at where we are and tell me we got a damn thing out of this. Fucking hell. Thank the gods we can scratch at the goddamn surface of any of the fucking cultures the Europeans trampled on first, and the post-colonial states carried on. I’m fucking pissed now. If anyone’s going down to hell any time soon tell Cortes, Pizarro, and Columbus I’m gonna beat them with a spiked bat. Fuck it, throw Verazzano in there too. And Hudson. Fuck it, Cartier too. Fuck ‘em all. Vespucci too. I’m fuckin mad as shit now. Fuck, man. One fucking day I hope every fucking country in America (fuck you I’m counting it as one continent) wakes up and realizes that we fucked up so fucking irreparably there ain’t a damn thing we can fucking do. Fuckin’, land back isn’t even enough anymore. We stole so fucking much that we can never give back.
