adults: oh silly children with no responsibilities no real trauma no life experience no worries and yet oh so dramatic about nothing
also adults: oh thank fucking GOD i am not in school anymore, i had another nightmare i was THERE again, i woke up in a cold sweat bc i didn't study for my TEST-there's nothing not anything like the sweet relief of realizing that you actually don't have one and you won't have one in a very very long time, i still remember what the hallways smell like, i graduated years ago but i don't feel safe yet
Back in 2017 I signed up for one of the Cards Against Humanity sillies and did their Cards Against Humanity Saves America. Basically they were like fuck Tr*mp and his border wall and used the funds from the campaign to buy land and to make all 150,000 contributors part owners of said land across the US/Mexico border.
It was fun and silly and I got a little certificate.
Today I got an email that Elon Musk illegally annexed that land for SpaceX and that CAH are suing him over it. So possibly I’ll get like $100 if they manage to win a lawsuit and stick it to Musk. It’s like even more bang for my original buck.
i can't fucking shut up about the man that people are starting to call "The Claims Adjuster" because he not only shot that evil fucker but:
wrote deny defend depose on the bullets in sharpie
deliberately left behind a backpack in central park full of fucking monopoly money
and the cherry on top (so far) is that he potentially used a gun that was designed for veterinarians to put down sick animals
its art, its amazing, this is the best thing thats happened in like 10 years and he is my hero. Everything has felt so bleak and this is like a ray of light shining through the dark clouds into my soul
may they never catch him, and may we never find out who he was
musk is going to die in a Tesla explosion in 6 months after sticking his nose where it doesn't belong and we will never get a conclusive answer on whether it was a CIA car bomb or just a normal Tesla malfunction
Only AP went further, and it never focused too much on the 90s or the 00s even though you could very well do that.
And have it to be more relevant than whatever the fuckboys were touting in the 1700s.
I just think that that’s interesting.
America was doing all manners of nonsense in the periods you’re not taught about.
I mean maybe it’s different in other American high schools.
But I personally think that American history should focus more on the gulf war.
Maybe on Israeli-Palestinian relations.
African SAPs.
The colonialist policies of the IMF and World Bank.
Seriously why the fuck do we bother so much with the Founding Fathers and all their blathering about freedom while black women waited on their children?
Americans should be learning about how their capitalist system has fucked over every country they’ve written off as backwards.
Like I have no idea how us history is taught in other schools.
But I get the feeling that America would rather focus on the “distant” past.
America doesn’t wanna talk about the war on terror or Iran contra or the AIDS epidemic or the six day war and why we and Britain fucked up an entire region after world war 2.
Or how we started terrorist groups and put military dictatorships in place to protect our companies and their profits.
Or how the institutions that we essentially control are keeping those in poverty in poverty.
Seriously.
Enough with James Madison, who cares about human rights when your own government ignores the blatant human rights violations of a country that we’re allies with?
Come on.
American history can start with the damn Boston tea “massacre” if it wants, but why don’t we linger some more on Afghanistan?
We were involved.
We watched while our shock therapy programs fucked up Yugoslavia.
We watched while capitalism put nationalism in power and stirred ethnic violence.
And guess what?
American history is rooted in colonialism.
Which had a hand in the Rwandan genocide.
Which was ignored and debated in the UN, controlled monetarily by yours truly.
So please for the love of god.
Talk about the War of 1812 for like a day.
Go over American intervention in places it doesn’t belong for the rest of the year.
Go over slavery, yes, go in depth about reconstruction and segregation. These are important parts of American history.
But so is the era America decided its companies needed steady markets from every portion of the world so they could make billions instead of millions and decided to fuck everyone else over in the process.
oh someone at the guardian has lost the will to live

reblog if you believe fanfics are as valid as books that were published and sold by authors who write as their main careers. I'm trying to prove a point
