Criminalt 05/15/21 6:29:10 PM #52:	agesboy posted... what part of "fuck america" makes you think i approve of colonization and genocide because ancestors of americans did it Didn't say you did. But when Americans with no self-awareness talk about how evil British imperialism was, it's a bit like listening to people whose livelihood is trading in stolen goods say how much they hate thieves. The entire foundation stone on which the weight of four centuries of American history rests is British imperialism: it's the primary fucking reason that Americans even exist. If anyone's still benefiting today from a legacy of colonial exploitation, it's Americans as much as (if not more than) the Windsors. Understand this: I'm not in the business of blaming today's Americans for their own country's past. But that's exactly the point: get this idea out of your heads that Liz, Phil or Charles are somehow to blame for everything that was done in the name of their ancestors two or three or four hundred years ago. Nobody's guilty of anything by fucking reincarnation. Let's stop wasting so much time and effort dumping the weight of dead people's sins on their great-great-great-great-great grandchildren, and instead try to fix the shit that we can actually do something about. --- ~.\|o <cite>Criminalt posted [p:953943703] in I cannot f...

(I wanted to add a metric shit tonne of U's to emphasize how racist my family is, but GF thinks I'm trying to bypass the profanity filter) As much of a progressive leftist as I am, I still had thoughts about Archie's skintone. zebatov posted... I still cant believe people think God ordained anyone as royalty, See, what happened is, this old ass virgin that says he talks to god, says god told him that my family gets to rule over all y'all for the rest of eternity, no take backs.
