I think they’re more sane. There’s no open-carry, they do background checks, if you are deemed mentally unwell, then can’t carry, and stuff like that. You know, just the basic stuff you see everywhere.

*Edit: Thought I should add that our Wal-Marts don’t sell ammo or guns out in the open, not sure if it’s like that in every Wal-Mart over there, but not here. You gotta go to a certified armory with your ID and permit. Of course, there’s an underground market, and some folks go that route. But in mainstream society over here, guns are looked at very much like some libs would, they find them scary, unnecessary and dangerous. We do have gun violence, though, but nothing like school shootings, thank fuck.

Not even in PR, a satellite of the empire which by all practical accounts consumes the same ideological brainrot the US produces, does this shit happen.

*Edit: To echo some other replies, we had fire and earthquake drills, and also for tsunamis.

Heraclitus was always my favorite Pre-Socratic.

The ‘‘inscrutable oriental’’ strikes again.

Under a google search of ‘‘inscrutable oriental’’, despite linking to the trope and explaining it to some degree, we get more examples.

Thanks for proving our point.

seven Polish people on Lemmygrad

Member when Comrade, @PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml had to answer to every Polish topic on r/MTC and r/GenZedong because he was the only Pole? I member.

I was thinking about something today.

Why do average Americans celebrate independence day when that independence was won by slaveowners, realstate pirates like Washington, criminals and people of moneyed interests that do not represent the average gringo or immigrant? Like, this celebration is not for them, its for the bougies of the US. You guys see what I’m getting at? The class that had this counterrevolution is not representative of the American population, so it doesn’t make sense that they celebrate that. Specially for Native Americans or African Americans, you know?

Washington was no Bolívar.

When you think about independence movements elsewhere, like Martí in Cuba, Dessalines in Haiti, these people were not necessarily from just the upper class, and their revolutions had a wider spirit, that would often include natives and Africans. There was a popular support from the general population. You might say there was for the US, but it was a false consciousness cultivated and promoted by the upper class who owned slaves and didn’t want Britain to end their Christmas. These people may have used fancy words, like ‘‘the people’’, and ‘‘freedom’’, but these did not refer to enslaved African Americans or the Natives…Maybe I’m thinking too much, but it doesn’t make a lick of sense to me.
