The superpowers often behave like heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision... Of course, over time, even armed blind men can do enormous damage to each other, not to speak of the room.

- Henry Kissinger

On the left: «A tempting opportunity». A British lion is trying to put out a fire with the inscription «South African War», while Russia and France, with tongs in their hands, are trying to figure out how to smartly grab its tail, and who should do it first. The interpretation of the actions of the British seems somewhat controversial (November 15, 1899).

On the right: “Muscovites' Caution”. A Russian bear looks cautiously at a large beehive with the inscription “British Beehive. Herat Honey», standing behind the fortification wall with minarets. Great Britain and Russia together defined the border of Afghanistan, and Herat, located in its north, was a stumbling block (March 21, 1900)

"The entire West is untethered from reality. Everyone likes to believe they would’ve been anti-apartheid back in the day, but in actual fact they would have wept tears for white settlers in South Africa. And in fact, that is exactly what happened for most of the Apartheid era."

You know why we are taught to despise the French?

and poo poo their military prowess? Even though they are lovely people & have historically been glorious, brave, and victorious on the battlefield?

And were our partner in our own revolution?

It is because they killed their masters.

And they hold their police in check.

And protest for everything. And chase their police away. And get what they want. And have a pretty nice life.

They had a violent, coordinated people's revolution. Actually several. They kept trying and dying till one finally succeeded. They put the Aristocrats to death.

All the Aristocrats. Not just the bad ones. All of them. Even Marie Antoinette who was just a spoiled princess who quipped a stupid joke that got turned into revolutionary propaganda. She got disposal as well. Some people are just too dangerous to let live.

Because Aristocrats have babies! And those babies will network and rebuild Aristocracy and no Aristocracy may be allowed to exist if the people are to thrive.

That's why. Our Aristocrats don't want us getting Frenchy ideas.

Maybe we should.

#you know why we all hate Haiti? #because the Haitian people killed their white masters #they were forced under threat of war to reimburse their masters #via tribute #that impoverished them for centuries. #they didn't pay it off till 1947 #France sold the debt to a bank in the US in 1922 #that bank kept on collecting that debt with US military backing for 25 fucking years #making them pay for killing their slavers #they couldn't just forgive that? #didn't we just fight a fucking Civil War 50 years ago over slavery being bad? #slavery is bad won #mostly because we had to free the slaves to save ourselves when the South proves too good an openent with far superior generals #anyway that bank is Citibank #Citibank #is built on blood money collected from Africans who killed their slavers #Citibank kept Haiti in poverty #to punish Haiti for killing their masters #so you know who and what Citibank is now. fucking Citibank #fucking Aristocrats #Frenchy ideas are looking good right about now #phfwg original #ph4awg original #les miserables #time to make it popular #it has a very catchy kickass soundtrack #just ask any theater kid #does anyone read all these tags? #not to brag but I hide some of my best stuff in the tags and think people would have fun reading them #and maybe get their mind blown

A story from a former slave, Mary Middleton, a Gullah woman from the South Carolina Sea Islands, told of an incident of a slaveholder who was physically weakened from conjure. A slaveholder beat one his slaves badly. The slave he beat went to a conjurer and the conjurer made the slaveholder weak by sunset. Middleton said, "As soon as the sun was down, he was down too, he down yet. De witch done dat." Bishop Jamison was born enslaved in Georgia in 1848 and wrote an autobiographical account of his life. On a plantation in Georgia there was an enslaved Hoodoo man named Uncle Charles Hall who prescribed herbs and charms for slaves to protect themselves from European people.

Hall instructed the slaves to anoint roots three times daily and chew and spit roots towards their enslavers for their protection. Another slave story talked about an enslaved woman named Old Julie who was a conjure woman and was known among the slaves on the plantation to conjure death. Old Julie conjured so much death, her slaveholder sold her away to stop her from killing people on the plantation with conjure. Her enslaver put her on a steamboat to take her to her new slaveholder in the Deep South. According to the stories of freedmen after the Civil War, Old Julie used her conjure powers to turn the steamboat around back to where the boat was docked, which forced her slaveholder who tried to sell her away to keep her.

Most controversial take but Rhys Darby looks like a 1900's Boer War veteran who writes poetry about how colonizing India is christlike

Zionists: it’s not actually apartheid; it’s—

South Africa: WE CHARGE YOU WITH GENOCIDE.

Purposely, intentionally, and continuously destroying infrastructures in Gaza -from schools to hospitals, refugee camps, and WHOLE neighborhoods right to the ground. And posting about it... bombing buildings dedicated to education and hospitals and killing civilians indiscriminately are war crimes.

I recently saw the dumbest post I have ever seen in my entire life. What’s worse is that it was from a fellow South African (I don’t even need to tell you what their race probably was). The brainless dust mite said that comparing the genocide and apartheid in Palestine to apartheid in South Africa is disrespectful to the South Africans who actually experienced South African apartheid because it’s nowhere near the same thing.

Yes, it’s nowhere near the same thing. My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles all lived through apartheid and their experiences were so bad (especially my dad’s family) that they have ptsd to this day.

Apartheid was a fucking tragedy and its effects are still so rampant in South Africa. But during apartheid no one was getting bombed. An entire territory was not levelled. Food and basic necessities were not completely and utterly shut out from us. Nelson Mandela was arrested barely ten minutes away from my dad’s family home. Every single person of colour, whether black, coloured or Indian in the vicinity (including my grandfather and grandmother) were taken in for questioning by a system known for torture.

As a South African, you’re a fucking spastic and I hope you experience suffering in your life <3. Also, I’d like to know how it feels to have an iq in the double digits.
