what sucks about third world revolutions and indepence movements is how much concessions they have to make, the colonizer can be absolutely defeated militarily politically and economically and whatever else, but the colonized have to agree on their colonizers terms

Castro when he was leading the Cuban revolution was gonna appease the American colonizers and have a market economy, but he could foresee (and was advised) that the Cuban people would still be under the yoke of the American imperialists - just in a different form. And of course, because of that there's been a blockade for all these long decades

Hate how it’s always talked about as if it super cereal shit.
Some mouth breather claims it’s somehow the most important issue in his daily life and another mouthbreather from a different political party has to wipe his tears and validate him
Imagine the kind of absolute silverspooned loser whose biggest problem in life is some abstract idea of someone who doesn’t even have legal documents or the wrong skin color

And we know how much immigrants contribute to society, regardless of their status. They're the ones getting fucked over the most. Even when the countless studies get brought up about the economy/expertise/price of commodities/etc., whitey STILL has to bring up "But we still need to get rid of the bad apples! Some of them really are drug dealers and pimps!" as if that has any bearing on reality.
More drugs are manufactured, trafficked, and distributed by Americans than practically all of South America combined. How about the US stops sending fent and meth everywhere else? How about the CIA stops bringing heroin in from Asia? What about all the legal substances that are abused, like alcohol and prescription drugs? Blame is never placed on white Americans for creating their own problems.
You know what Trump said about Mexicans? I think that was projection

Does anyone else get irrationally angry at the mention of DE&I? I know it's the latest right wing attack angle and I'm doing exactly what they want when I get wound up by it, but man, I cannot help but be infuriated by it.
The whole reason why policies like DE&I get introduced is to combat anti-minority hiring/promoting practices where white males get preferential treatment. There's something so perverse about taking something that is supposed to course correct a bias and flipping it into a narrative of "it's giving minorities preferential treatment." No, it's not, it's trying to reduce the preferential treatment you've always had.
It just seems to boil back down to the bigoted idea that the white male candidate is the most qualified candidate by default, to which I say eat my fucking ass. It's frustrating because I already have a hard time valuing myself in my own head without every aspect of the world - whether it's love, or work, or even friendships - also reminding me that it doesn't value me.
Fuck whitey.

These people are reptiles, some of whom are the very gatekeepers of capital (ie Recruiters + Hiring managers) who will toss out resumes with foreign sounding names and somehow convince themselves DEI is some Martian concept that’s not needed because everything is just in the world.

Imagine seeing someone get asked "would you rather flip burgers or kill a child" and they answer "yes". That's an American military member, they're not your friend they're not "just a chill guy trying to get by", they're fully abled mentally well human beings who are willing to kill non-white people, there's no misguided there's no "I wanted to help people".
Made some tamales for an elementary school's multicultural thanksgiving. Second time making them and I fucked up nearly every step of the recipe but they still somehow ended up delicious. The kids ate all of them.
I fucking love making tasty food for people. I've got so much masa dough and filling left that I'm probably gonna make 10-20 more. Might just hand em out to my neighbors lol

that’s because the number one ingredient in tamales is love, in my family we have a very hard set rule that if you’re not in a good mood you can’t make tamales.

Always funny to see literally tremble on slippery slopes. Committing genocides, distabilising entire regions that isn't a slippery slope they're the wrong ethnicity anyway. Surpressing the speech of groyper88, punching a nazi, doing anything at all to codify bills that would protect your vulnerable thats too far. Even as their country burns because of them
White woman at my work has been making my job harder for 9 months now over a thing that should've taken 3-4 months
Now I have a meeting with her and possibly my boss and a random manager Wednesday because she's convinced a mistake I made was to purposely piss her off, instead of me just making a fucking mistake that I corrected based off how someone else told me to correct it

If my boss can make it ill have the most important person on my side, if she can't it'll be like an hour of passive aggressive bullshit and/or white woman tears if I try defending myself because why the fuck are you 30 and taking things so personally at work

Ath3ro [none/use name] - 1.0yr
it’s amazing that white woman tears don’t work if you’re not a white woman, let me go into a meeting and start crying over real racism and bigotry and no one will care but kkkaren will cry over a slight that has to be targeted now i’m talking to hr

Blockocheese [any] - 1.0yr
Right like I wasnt allowed to cry over shit I decided to take personal for no reason, my tears are "unprofessional" and don't get rewarded
Also the cracker who told me how to make the correction and signed off in approval of said correction doesnt have to go to the meeting like let's stop acting like it's over the actual mistake and not one sided beef
6
Ath3ro [none/use name] - 1.0yr
Yeah that’s some real bullshit, you have a signature of someone in a position of power signing off on something, that shit is a done deal that’s not on you anymore. Otherwise why tf would you need a signature in the first place. Yeah they got you on some bullshit rn, but i hope it gets better or they listen to what you gotta say

Realizing I had 3 sisters today, bean tamales and bean soup with lots of squash. Honestly was pretty filling and vegan so that was nice.
My class is so large the DMV made two separate lists and I'm on the second list so that means I test tomorrow. Sure I'm really anxious but I have more time to study and the weather will be better tomorrow.
Also so far everyone's passed so that means if they can do it, I can do it!
Once I pass, I'll enter RSPT (revenue service prep training) and I'm gold!

Looking at the election results for Colorado is pretty depressing. Jill Stein only got 1187 votes. The libertarian candidate did better with 1760.
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Mountain states, like New Hampshire for example (not a mountain state but hilly and for the East Coast those are the only mountains except the Appalachians) always have a lot of libertarians.
The results are not all bad , it's why we have legal weed and mushrooms, for example which I very much appreciate as civil rights issues.
Colorado is the reason that any states have legalized it. It all started here.
But I was really hoping that the green party or any left of center party would do better than they did.

have i even told yall? since the election, the amount of people interested in joining our branch alone is like 5x as many people we currently have. looks like we will probably only choose a fraction to join as members. we are learning about red flags too look out for and "chronically online" and "chauvinistic" were on there, its over for a lot of hexbear users lmao.

It's pretty good. I'm still partial to Section 80, Damn, GKMC, and TPABF. He's definitely getting older, though, and he's choosing to let his music grow older with him. Kendrick has almost spent as much of his life being a famous musician than he has not. 2008 was 16 years ago and he's 37 now. It's interesting seeing him shift into topics about being a father and husband.
Like Eminem is still doing the same shtick at 52 as he was when he was 25 (shitty attitude and views included). It's really easy to fall into that trap of success, especially for musicians. Because Kendrick is more self aware, he's going to put out albums where each track is high quality.

Ath3ro [none/use name] - 1.1yr
I feel the same way in that those other than damn are my favorite albums but man this one is tuff, i haven’t liked a kendrick album this much since untitled unmastered. i like introspective kenny but sometimes i need a lil something with it

When white people get convinced that they're doing something racist, they turn into being racist towards a different group and do the same act.

We've got a "feeding difficulty" child (this is more of a social admit, baby is actually eating fine). She's at the nurses desk cause parents dont come by, so we're feeding her and burping. Baby makes one little murmur and all 5 nurses as a collective say "awwwww"

Bueno!
Today is the day. Because my class is so large, they split the testing between two days. So if I don't test today, I'm certainly testing tomorrow.
I'll be using whatever downtime I have to brush up on stuff.
You are good to go. Don't do any heavy review today. The most important thing is to be as relaxed as possible.
There is nothing further you can do for now , just try your best. Good luck!
GOOD LUCK COMRADE
Take yer time, make yer shot count
Sending good energy !
Do your best, I know you'll do great
