tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"
The perfect drink to wash down my ape biscuits
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
What does does it mean to be a citizen of a nation built on genocide? America is made of conquerors and refugees, killers and survivors. Can the US absolve itself? I can't say we were ever great, don't know if I can say we were ever good. But I think the best we've ever been is when we've held a welcoming hand to the world's refugees. At this point it feels like the least we can do.
"How much do you earn?" "How much do you make?"
No. How much have you wrested from the grubbing hands of the capitalists? Or, flip side, how much have you stolen from the workers? You don't make money unless you work at a bank. Otherwise you're just dropping your line in the flow of capital and snagging whatever you can. But of course, it's catch & release only without a bank-issued permit.
Kinda feels like George Washington's main leadership traits were tall, charismatic, and handsome. That said, here are some other things he did (and didn't do):
He supported his lifestyle by enslaving dozens of people, claiming to own them and forcing them to work on his plantation.
He got a bunch of people inoculated against smallpox
He released all his slaves only on his and his wife's deaths
He kept together a defensive army for several years without wrecking the landscape or alienating the populace
He was given executive power and ceded it to a democratic(ish) process
He never figured out how to live without enslaving people
He never had a child
He raised up Alexander Hamilton and let him build a banking system
He led a militia force against US citizens in the whisky rebellion
He ordered a 3-year colonial war against native Americans in the Great Lakes region
