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.

Generally that was how royalty referred to themselves. Might seem egotistical cause of that.

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.

with the recent climate apocalypse news it kinda hit me that we haven't even had the energy to actually be focused on it for a couple years, everything has been getting worse so much worse on the next-year next-month basis it almost seems naive we ever thought we'd do something on the climate when we can't stop our governments from doing a livestreamed genocide

There's this self-pubbed Fantasy author who made a very bad critique of a Kojima character named Fatman going around on Twitter. Someone posted the first page of his book, and it's very bad, and for the last day and a half a good portion of my timeline has been relentlessly mocking this.

On the one hand, it seems like this dude has it coming and also the first page of book is very bad. On the other hand, as a wannabe SFF author I am seeing someone live out on of my nightmares. Having this happen to you is like showing up for work and realizing you have to give a presentation you forgot about, and you're naked, and all the teeth fell out of your head.

FF13 combat was some of the best ATB combat FF has done. I've firmly believed this for years.

Driving at night is such a uniquely stressful and miserable experience.

Me, with astigmatism and nightblindness in a tiny hatchback trying to merge at 110 on the freewayscared

Like literally I've just parked and I think i want to cry. I hate it i hate it i hate it. LED headlights and high-raised utes have made it almost impossible for me to drive at night safely.

Idk how Guadians of Galaxy 3 has such high ratings that movie was horrendous

I also just watched the 1:30 minute trailer for Tron Ares and I'm so confused, how did they fuck up such an easy movie to make. Why did they cast that soulless ghoul as the main character?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

both that and the thor movie that should've been the same story but like Rashomon are awful, even for marvel slop.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

Its pretty crazy how much thor 4 is hated because Thor 3 was pretty loved. I may watch it someday out of curiosity maybe 50 years from now
