The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.
As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”
The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.
Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

What muscle relaxer? I can only think of a few that cause physical dependence and none of them are prescribed frequently
The other poster was right, it was tizanidine, but as far as I can tell the llm provided accurate info which I simply did not think to look into previously and which my human doctor and also the office pharmacist (also human) who I asked and told "this wasn't really discussed at all" failed to mention entirely. The doctor, i didn't even know she prescribed anything until I was walking out, and of course since she was too busy to spend more than 25 minutes in an appointment (that they rushed me into early) the receptionist couldn't find her, so she got the pharmacist, who basically gave me a shrug and a "take it when your muscles feel tense"
It might not ultimately have been the tizanidine's fault due to a slew of other self inflicted issues but given that I was feeling weird fight-flight feeling and the thermal dysfunction issues where I kept sweating, something which causes extreme sensitivity to adrenaline when you're withdrawing from it makes sense. And it's been feeling better on the time frame that it should based on when I ran out of it. Those issues are gone today.
I don't need to be told not to go to llms llike they're doctors but like there's just so much that should have been explained to me. I did a brief look into it googling after the appointment but without realizing it could be tied to these issues didn't think to ask the right questions. I saw not to take it with grapefruit drugs basically, not to exceed 36mg in a single day, and that it had a fairly short onset and peak and a quick half life. I interpreted that as it being fairly short acting and given that it honestly hardly felt like it did anything it seemed like it would be safe to take extra doses as long as they were well under that 36mg threshold
But if I knew it affects how my CNS interprets adrenaline on a long time frame independent of the drug's actual half life that would have totally changed my interpretation of the safety of the drug.
But like, i dunno, again, i was operating on the naive impression that muscle relaxers would target muscles directly, woops
The point of my post isn't llms great it's wow i hate that doctor and i hope the new guy Im seeing next week has better bedside manner
