The Untied States is literally becoming like nazi Germany and I don't know if people understand that I'm not exaggerating. I legitimately can't tell if people realize that America is now a fascist dictatorship, likely to soon go full on nazi Germany and make it explicitly illegal to be part of certain minority groups, at which point it may be too late for people to leave. I don't know if people around me understand that that's not an exaggeration.

People just keep on going to Disneyland as if it's perfectly safe. It's like watching people go to a store that's literally on fire and nobody is even trying to put it out. It's like people think if the fire department isn't reacting then it isn't happening

and my grandmother thinks it's funny to tell me canada is going to be the 51st state. Yes, so hilarious the fire might soon consume our house too

text books worshipping genociders, slavers

went to high school in north texas. texas history (an entire two semester year) devoted weeks to the events leading up to the Alamo and it's impact on texas history... but fail to mention anywhere the actual cause of the alamo, texas's refusal to give up their slaves. After years of warning from Mexico that they couldn't continue, texas decided slaves were worth fighting a war over.

And this isn't an isolated incident; both of Texas's constitutions are very explicit about the central role of slavery, including prohibiting people from freeing their own slaves.

Funny that.
