Americans discover the 3000 year old continent spanning nation of 1.4 billion people... might have regional differences. honestly, who knew?

western ignorance is truly a form of exceptionalism

I spent a few hours on there looking for actual leftists to follow, and cannot find shit in their starter packs or lists or w/e. it really is just stuffed with turbo libs

I gotta say the death cult shit on the left is so wildly fucking weird to me. it really is one of those just like entirely sociopathic things where people have just decoupled themselves from empathy so much through frustration and demoralisation they've ironically, which always ends up meaning earnestly but detached and with a thin veneer of dismissal, embraced this idea that horrific judgement day levels of shit is needed on certain countries and large groups (not talking about the bourgeoisie here, but the working masses), millions we all openly agree are shaped and brainwashed by systems outside of their control. do bad people and places cause unimaginable pain? for sure, but to then throw that blind injust dehumanised violence back at the masses that characterises imperialism and capitalism is full of this Christian evangelical smite and divine retribution of those who have sinned beyond salvation and must die to cleanse the world.

I already know all the explanations, 'it's just a meme', 'the imperial core did bad stuff so needs to suffer', 'the west will never embrace socialism unless enforcement via mass violence and destruction of all institutions and infrastructure'. but the thing is like, you read any text by international communists, black radical groups, anti imperialists, they literally all say 'we just want you to stop being assholes so we can be friends who work together', and so it seems to be this self hatred that fuels this than any outside demands, one which just seems really unnecessary and honestly childish especially from people who claim to have a deeper materialist analysis which breaks down why these opinions and actions are so common and systemically enforced.

if you call me a fed I'll call you a double fed who feds on the feds

The drink is noted for it's use of autumnal flavours with its comprehensive use of spices associated with the season (cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove) and the American seasonal winter squash, pumpkin 🎃, to give a very of the season flavoural combination, oft topped with whipped cream. While the most popular rendition of the drink, in being a latte, uses boiled cows milk :kombucha-disgust: , a good vegan :im-vegan: alternative for the milk would be oat milk, as it is much sweeter naturally than most other plant based milks and fits with such a sweet toothed drink, as well as being slightly thicker which quite suits the nature of the drink.

In popular culture the pumpkin spiced latte is most commonly associated with the American coffee chain, Starbucks, who developed the drink in 2003, although it has become quite the staple of autumnal and early winter warm drinks :comfy: , along side coco and other coffees, for many. As the drink is only seasonally offered by the coffee chain, many have tried to devise their own renditions of the drink to have when they wish, which has also spurred on development of the flavours and spices in the drink as individuals try to put their own spin on the drink.

The popular conception of the Pumpkin Spiced Latte, PSL :PSL: , is that those who consume it are women without a developed taste or understanding of coffee, and merely following pop cultural and branding trends. Much has been written in the sphere of pop feminism about how this conception and caricature is an infantilisation of women, and a thinly veiled attempt to hide their misogyny. Surprisingly, this rather blasé and banal take has been known to activate the 'mouth frothing' region of some men's brains when being asked to consider their internalised opinions. :frothingfash: (Artists Rendition)

Samus Aran is trans, the evidence is all there.

1. she picks up 'E' all over the place to stop herself from dying
2. she is 6ft 3 (191cm) tall
3. she's constantly running in circles to get any 'E' so she can make any progress in life
4. the Gamers are really weird about her
