If this actually happens the internet is going to explode

Irish Unification isn't enough. I want Irish Expansion. I need East Ireland. Scotland can be an autonomous zone in East Ireland.

Broke: splitting the big island in half and giving Scotland the North and Ireland the South

Woke: splitting the big island in half and giving Scotland the East and Ireland the West

Scotland doesn’t deserve that kind of respect. I feel like it’s a stretch to call Scotland a victim of the English the same way Ireland was, Scotland was a knowing and willing participant in most of England’s crimes

Word. They were to the British Empire what the UK is to America today.

What about this: Scotland gets to leave the UK. England is then annexed by Scotland but all of this new greater Scotland becomes an Irish colony ruled from Dublin

Honestly relieved to find out I'm just a hallucination within a simulation run by a fictional starship. Hopefully humanity is chillin' in the cool Star Trek future.

Sorry, you're the only human in the holodeck.

I'm sorry, you do not have authorization to modify the holodeck program.

I like to think Gabriel Bell is a poster on here.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 11 months ago

The most unbelievable thing about the Gabriel Bell story is not that the Sanctuary Districts would exist, but that Americans would see the inherent humanity of the poor and actually do something to help them after a riot and hostage crisis.

today i was reading about the LA Riots, and in each instance of "awful group of black men attack innocent passerby", there is a direct follow up of "black men see victim of attack and render immediate aid". but all my life i only heard about the first part, so i agree with your point that even when poor people "do the right thing" in these situations it gets ignored.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago

Seems like the only times I see the LA riots mentioned these days is when people fantasize about the roof Koreans and the idea of minorities killing each other.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago
[-] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Ehhh, I don't think it's helpful to take swipes at the Koreans either. While I don't have much sympathy for petit bourgeoisie using force to defend their property, a targeted campaign of violence based on ethnicity is not good even when carried out by an oppressed ethnicity. Besides, the complete withdrawal of the LAPD from areas where many Koreans lived points to a conscious plan or desire to let minorities fight it out so they can't unite against white supremacy.

I'm not saying the original Korean store owner was not a racist and a bad person or whatever, just that we should not celebrate factionalism.

I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

The idea of a of George Floyd event breaking out again in America but bigger this time seems unreal.

You know, we’re also just in time for San Francisco to start rounding up the homeless after they helped strip them of any semblance of rights left at the Supreme Court
