Settlers: The Mythology Of The White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern - J. Sakai cracker

A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements. Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. As recounted in painful detail by J. Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being accompanied by violence.

The counter-revolution of 1776: slave resistance and the origins of the United States of America - Gerald Horne amerikkka

In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne complements his earlier celebrated Negro Comrades of the Crown, by showing that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. In the prelude to 1776, more and more Africans were joining the British military, and anti-slavery sentiments were deepening throughout Britain. And in the Caribbean, rebellious Africans were chasing Europeans to the mainland. Unlike their counterparts in London, the European colonists overwhelmingly associated enslaved Africans with subversion and hostility to the status quo. For European colonists, the major threat to security in North America was a foreign invasion combined with an insurrection of the enslaved. And as 1776 approached, London-imposed abolition throughout the colonies was a very real and threatening possibility--a possibility the founding fathers feared could bring the slave rebellions of Jamaica and Antigua to the thirteen colonies. To forestall it, they went to war. The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in large part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their liberty to enslave others--and which today takes the form of a racialized conservatism and a persistent racism targeting the descendants of the enslaved. The Counter-Revolution of 1776 drives us to a radical new understanding of the traditional heroic creation myth of the United States.

Just watched Boogie Nights, it's fucking great and it's true that the dealer character is the perfect representation of Eddie Nash boiled down into like 7 minutes, right down to calling freebasing 'playing baseball'

If I had seen this movie at like 12, that character would have been goals. But instead I saw Hitchhiker's Guide at that age so Sam Rockwell's Zaphod Beeblebrox became that instead.

Fun labor history tidbit - pre-apprenticeship training programs have their roots in programs created when the building trades in Philadelphia were getting targeted by a radical chapter of the NAACP who were stopping construction demanding black tradesmen be hired on public works projects. The trade unions collaborated with black charity organizations to market these pre-apprenticeship programs specifically to black workers looking to join the trades. Then they still allowed hardly any black workers to actually join the unions.

Work was busy af but I also didn't have my chef around being neurotic about it and trying to also run my circus when im the window guy, he usually notices he's verbally in the way but tends to panic when irs slammed and backseat drive. I ran that shit like a fucking bank robbery. Im running expo every day and know pretty precisely how long anyone takes to do whatever task and re-arranged priorities accordingly. It was a fucking opera of efficiency and everyone had to work half as hard. No buildup on my end cause I made sure everyone was on the same step at the same time instead of just trying to get their own station clear as fast as possible where it dies in the window. It was a calm and steady stream of food coming up and being picked up instead of a giant glut that I then would have to sort out. Our turnaround time for mains for a 20 top was 7 fucking minutes. I work with absolute pros and when you treat em like it instead of getting nervous for no reason and micro managing we can blast out some pretty high class food at a McDonald's speed.

lol, fucking loser. Charlie Kirk not-washing-hands ass motherfucker lmfaooo get wrecked

Charles Sumner lived until the 1870s and got to enjoy witnessing the abolition of slavery

Twitter is such a cesspit at this point. I know, it was always a cesspit, but the sheer number of open Nazis is wild to see.

I got sucked into the twitter version of tiktok/reels or whatever today, and I don't understand how the algorithm works, but it immediately started to feed me the most racist shit. My for you page is completely deranged and I only follow leftists. Like musk must have really weighted the race science shit.

I'm three weeks sober today. It feels like I've fully gotten alcohol out of my daily routine, and I'm starting to coast on new habits now. There's been a noticeable improvement in my depression and energy levels, and my skin is starting to look healthier. My sobriety tracker says I've saved $107 and skipped 45 drinks so far.

The reason why the heavier Longbow had a shorter range than the mongol bows, is that it was just a wooden bow while the mongols used composite bows. Composite bows have a mix of layers and materials allowing them to be more effective.

I use this music streaming app that uses the Youtube and Youtube Music backlog, and I've been making a monster EDM playlist with it. I search for playlists of classics within subgenres and just add them straight to EDM playlist. Im at 17000 at the moment I have everything from, techno, belgian techno, berlin techno, detroit techno, japanese techno, dark techno, minimal techno, trance, psychedelic trance and techno, future trance, house, progressive house, acid house, eurodance, uk garage, uk dubstep, 2-step, breakstep, techstep, drum n bass, neurofunk, future bass, jungle, hardstyle, acid core, brostep, raggatek, electro disco, dark electro, EBM, IDM, deconstructed club, spacesynth and some other more obscure foreign club scenes. Fuck electro house.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

i truly love this. it's so far removed from my musical experience/taste it might as well be from another planet.

i would hate listening to your playlist so much, but i would definitely enjoy listening to you explain the difference between the subgenres. gosh Almighty, 17000! my brain trembles. it must be...days n days worth of dance music right? you could use that mix to break my mind.

No shade, i mean it. truly, your effort is amazing. i unironically wish i could appreciate even a little of that music but EDM is just... beyond me.

‘Fantastic Four’ and ‘Nip/Tuck’ star Julian McMahon dead at 56. Actor Julian McMahon, one of the two leads of seminal FX television series “Nip/Tuck” who also played Dr. Doom in the “Fantastic Four” movies from the 2000s, has died. He was reportedly 56.

The news was confirmed by a statement on the official “Nip/Tuck” Facebook page, and an additional statement from his wife Kelly McMahon who told Deadline on Friday that her husband “died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.”

McMahon starred opposite Dylan Walsh in the Ryan Murphy-created “Nip/Tuck” following two upscale plastic surgeons and their exploits. The series ran for six seasons between 2003 and 2010, and was nominated for 18 Primetime Emmys, winning one for best prosthetic makeup. Concurrently, he played Dr. Victor Von Doom in the “Fantastic Four” movies costarring Jessica Alba and Chris Evans from 2005 and 2007. (Dr. Doom is the villain soon to be portrayed by Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming “Avengers: Doomsday.”)
