Also to avoid hurting the feelings of the French, they brought in white people instead for parades dressed as French troops rather than the African troops who saved them.

And as a side note, Africa's reward for being instrumental in France's liberation was having the French overthrow many, many of their leaders.

I'm beginning to realize i really don't want to learn as much about Western history any more. Stalin shouldn't have stopped at Berlin.

sources are claiming the president elect has locked himself in the bathroom with a gun and is refusing to come out

#FidelPorSiempre

the homogenization of the US by these chain companies is disgusting. they show up like parasites to any town once they reach some arbitrary population density and suck up business that should be going to locally owned operations. completely destroys the culture. 90% of american towns are just a strip of gas stations and the same fast food chains

hyper local chains are still kinda cool though. shit that only exists around cities and their burbs. still has local flavor and culture, so they get a pass thus the 100 mile radius limit.

Good songs and a gif that keeps of giving!

We've been a group on Discord for a little over 2 years. We try to meet on Sundays at 7:00PM EST and play til 10:30-ish. We're currently playing Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition. Being a Warhammer rpg, there's a reasonable amount of combat and for various personal reasons, our two most melee-oriented characters have had to leave. Currently, the party has been making do with a Halfling guard whose build is more geared toward ranged combat and an NPC Dwarf they freed from the town stocks, who is also not geared for combat.

We tried recruiting some fighters about 3 weeks ago, but the two who responded never got back to us. The last time we got people to join us was when EstraDoll included a picture of Biggs, so she's given me this exclusive Biggs photo to entice further applicants.

Unfortunately, EstraDoll do not supply me with the updated list of user tags for Biggsposting.

Yes, yes they've "always turned on minorities"..... I'm talking about the kayfabe, you know that thing that quite successfully co-opted and dismantled the 2020 rebellions, the thing leftists have been smashing their faces into since Bernie ate shit in 2016, that THING that makes liberals bold enough to even come in here and talk to us as if we're fellow travelers

Well liberals in their mindless arrogance and racism have handed leftists the greatest recruitment tool since 2016, in fact probably since the civil rights era

Their continuing hate campaign against minorities for the failure of Genocide Joe and his zooted-out apprentice Harris is not showing signs of losing steam, this is the dems decided response to Trump's victory and the new "Russiagate"

As time moves on they will consolidate and expand these racist narratives, because for DNC elites this is the path of least resistance (at least that's what they think) in reality liberals are actively pouring acid on the binds that hold the Democratic coalition together

Naturally even if leftists generally remain in "woes is me" mode and feign undue shock at liberal racism, the reality is millions of POCs will still bear witness to this disgusting liberal hate campaign and make up their own minds accordingly

Our job is to seize this opportunity and leverage this mass mask-slip for the sake of generating a grassroots recognition of the fundamental difference between liberalism and the left, i.e. turn this shit into a popular meme that haunts the dems and libs for the rest of time and never let them get out from under it

Outright racism against Muslims is becoming normalised among Liberals. And their entire argument is that "Trump will genocide Palestinians harder".

I'm literally just raging reading this shit.

Edit 11/28: Another Hexbear user also wants to match, so up to the first $500 we are both matching, so every dollar donated means $3 in to total goes to who you donate to.

On behalf of the admin & mod teams, I’d like to announce our second Hexbear’s Gaza Donations Drive. Like last time, we'll keep it going for the next couple days at least.

As mentioned before, our friend and comrade @[email protected] and others have brought several folks in Gaza who need help to Hexbear. Below are links to their fundraising sites. Please donate as and if you are able. AND, I was able to dig through my couch cushions and am able to match the first $500 in donations again this time. Just DM me the amount you donated and who you donated to. If anyone else wants to get in on matching let me know and I will add your info in this post. It was really awesome how several of you also wanted to match.

Mahmoud – Help me build my future and build my family home

Aya Mohamed - Support Mohamed’s family to reach safety outside Gaza (A special thanks to Mohamed for reaching out again)

Yamen Nashwan - Help Yamen Evacuate his Family from Gaza and Save Their Life

Ibrahim hema - Getting food for my brothers

Lubna & Munir (from [email protected]) - Direct to Lubna Family Relief and Support

Mahmoud - Help Mahmoud Find Hope Amid Crisis in North Gaza

Sara and Ahmed - Help Rebuild Sara and Ahmed's Lives After the Gaza War

Rana - Help Rana and her family escape Gaza

Also, IF YOU AREN'T ABLE TO GIVE YOU CAN STILL HELP! Last time we kept this on Hexbear. But it would be awesome if some you can post this to various friendly subreddits like r/TheDeprogram or mention it on Twitter/Bluesky (I don't have any social media). Also welcome to cross-post with Lemmy instances we are federated with.

Last time we raised at least $2,800 in direct aid. I say "at least" because that's only me counting what was DM'd to me, I'm sure there were other donations made outside of this.

As a bonus this time, my 6 year old asked if she could make "thank you" drawing and I post it; so I'll that to the comments some time.

Love and solidarity to you all!

Edit 11/27: comrade @[email protected] has provided me with an additional list of folks who need help:

The nurse asked why I was laughing so hard
