Can’t understand why people would want to stay away.

    Uh, when was America considered “civilized”?

    Before or after the owning of humans as property?

      I guess that’s the question that defines which side of the current divide you are on.

      Before arguing that Indians did not really cultivate the lands they cultivated in a manner that Europeans just failed to understand as such.

    I remember someone my grandpa telling me such stories about when he was a kid.

    He was 10 or 11. Born in 1915. In Rome.

      Ya sadly racism and xenophobia has existed for a long time. It’s nothing new, honestly thought some places were moving forward from it but it seems we are going backwards again

        In his case, that was not racism nor xenophobia. In 1925, in Rome there were Black Shirts, the OG Fascists and that’s what the bullies used against him at the time, in the same way bullies did with his girl.

        Later in his life, he moved to Tucson, and the only people he could genuinely make friends with were the Apache and the Hopi, whom he depicted in his paintings, since his lab in the university, where he researched and teached, was sacked during his absence by agents.

        I never believed in the civically advanced US, given the genocidal and violent history and culture.

        Seems like they are doing their best to prove me right.

    As we know, Republicans like Charlie Kirk are big fans of dead children, but inconsolable crybabies over dead nazis.

          I’m saying it’s an important bit.

          If the idea of a child’s suicide brings you joy, you’re a monster.

          It doesn’t matter why they killed themselves or that someone may or may not have lied about the reason, or really whether or not the child even existed in the first place. Decent human beings don’t celebrate child suicide. Ever.

      The current general culture of hateful racism surely helped her suicidal ideation. That makes it okay!

        A family member touched her… Do you need me to say that with crayons or something? Or is you all saying popular thing for fucking worthless upvotes still more important than some woman making shit up to protect someone in her family who touched her kid, who then killed themselves because of it…

        Are you people even fucking real???

    The Republicans are on a fast track way to get every group in America to hate them, except white christain evangelicals.

    I went to confirm if that reply was real. I didn’t log in to see replies, but based on their post history, that is absolutely something they would say.

    Do not waste your righteous fury on trolls and bots. That’s how they win. Don’t even post this stuff honestly. I know it is awful but spreading it is their goal

    Too stupid to know anything but hate and division. Today’s, and yesterday’s America.

    You haven’t changed a bit.
