I live in WNC and some times it is hard to feel sorry for them as the leopard rips their face off.

Yes that is a mouth full. But still go visit when in Boone.

Ladies and gentlemn I do understand the VA is not perfect but these chinless fuckwonders will do all they can to give us the green weenie of hate while they tout us out on every fucking holiday. Call your congressfucker and let them know veterans will not take getting bent over lightly. Mine is the steamy festering turd called Tim Moore.

The first 3 Police albums are some of the best post-punk ever.

I will be honest. I just read that article and I have no idea what any of it is talking about.

All this is very confusing to me. I had to look up what tankies are and if these giuys are tankies then they can go fuck themselves. I came here from reddit and now I am thinking I might have made a mistake. I don’t know enough aboput this federated stuff to understand it. I have no idea how to block .ml nor do I know who these people are who run it. I do know that I had a very close Ukrainian friend as a child and although he is dead now I still see the Ukrainian people are brothers and sisters. I am not sure I want to give any of my money to an intance that actively shits out fucking ork propaganda. I need some educating here.

I am over 60 and I can plainly see everything it fucked.

What?

I agree and here is why. From the beginning, America told a lie. It wrapped itself in the language of freedom, but the bones of the thing—its economic engine, its social order, its very definition of who counted as human—were built on slavery. The Southern plantation class didn’t just benefit from that lie; they forced it into the structure of the Revolution. And we have been living with the consequences ever since.

By the 1770s, abolitionist winds were blowing through Britain. The Somerset decision in 1772 made it clear that slavery had no legal standing in English law. That terrified Southern elites. They saw the writing on the wall and understood something the rest of us are still catching up to: liberty and slavery cannot coexist. So they made a choice.

When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he tried to condemn the slave trade. The Southern states shut that down. Their message was simple and brutal—no independence unless slavery is protected. The Revolution was supposed to be a break from tyranny, but what they built was just a new structure to preserve their own power. The hypocrisy was not an accident. It was the blueprint.

Writers of the period—some knowingly, some unwillingly—captured this fracture. Phillis Wheatley, writing in bondage, praised liberty in verse while living its total denial. Jefferson wrote about the natural rights of man even as he enslaved his own children. Crèvecœur celebrated the American farmer while stepping carefully around the blood in the soil.

This is not ancient history. The same corruption runs through our systems today. You can see it in voter suppression, in prison labor, in economic policies that preserve wealth for the few at the expense of the many. We keep pretending this country was founded on pure ideals, but the rot was there at the root. The Southern elite didn’t just defend slavery—they rewired the American idea around it. And we still haven’t torn that wiring out.

Until we do, every time we talk about freedom, there’s an asterisk.

I have teaching credentials. I would love to work for them.

Vance is a lying sack of festering donkey cocks.

ICE are nothing but Brown Shirts doing the bidding of the Mango Mussolini. This is disgusting and when are we going to do something about this. My congress-monkey is part of the problem so not matter how much I complain to him nothing will get done.

As an American I really hope the EU takes this seriously. I was screaming about shit like this since Jan 6th and nothing was done. Take these people seriously. The US will invade Greenland and it will be to distract from Putin doing something even worse in Ukraine. They are betting the EU can not fight a war on two fronts. Prove them wrong.
