i spent last night reading up on the guatemalan civil war in detail and i only got up to the 1970s before stopping because i was filled with so much unbelievable amounts of rage. and theres still over 10 years of atrocities to read up on.

#personal #sounds like a hellhole to have lived through that. im glad my parents decided to come here by any means even if the US isnt exactly a pinac #cle of goodness either #did you know? guate had a DEMOCRATICALLY ELLECTED president? in 1944? before US intervention in a coup in the 50s? bc FINANCIAL interests? #NEARLY 50 YEARS OF CIVIL WAR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE US HAD KEPT THEIR CRUSTY ASSES TO THEMSELVES #ALL BECAUSE OF MONEY #ITS ALWAYS FUCKING MONEY #MONEY OR RELIGION FUCKING HELL #did you know? the guatemalan genocide in the 80s is also known as the silent holocaust? #it was really seriously genuinely so bad that it is officially and purposefully invoking of the holocaust in its name #i would love to have a talk with my dad now but our political views are far from aligned so i dont think it would be a good idea either... #the guy in charge (a dictator btw) in the 60s LIKED hitler so its really not a stretch comparison either #‘stayed up last night’ as if i didnt only sleep 3 hours and it isnt still dawn
