The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.

As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”

The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.

Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

There's only one mouth for one trombone. What if I want two trombone effects at the same time? That doesn't seem fair.

Comrades,

Start making watermelon & feta & mint salads now.

I was researching Palestinian recipes and this one is an absolute banger.

It’s crazy easy to make.

It’s hydrating.

It’s low calorie.

It’s high volume.

It’s the ultimate.

Recipe:

  1. Buy a watermelon, mint, and feta (not danish, real feta)
  2. Cut up the watermelon, mint, and feta
  3. Mix
  4. It’s now ready. It’s that easy. It’s so good.
[–] LetterLiker@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

me n the prep chef were talking about exactly this salad today. definitely go get some.

i betcha a little touch of nice olive oil and some flaky salt would go crazy. oooo to up the difficulty some, strain some greek yogurt thru cheese cloth to make labneh and spread that onto your dish first.

[–] red_giant@hexbear.net 2 points 3 hours ago

I tried adding some balsamic and it was not a plus but not really a minus.

I’ll try your suggestions.

[–] Poophammer@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago

Funny idea; most stock value is nonsense. Like for example; Tesla/SpaceX goes up because they can land a reusable rocket. That itself doesn't produce value but the speculation does.

The Chinese just did their own version of that just now. What if we spammed how overvalued SpaceX/Tesla was because of it but kept the language in terms of people who actually care about stocks? Aka no open Musk hating.

How much would we crash those stocks? I'm guessing maybe most people invest based on vibes and shit they aren't really doing research or understand what makes something actually valuable.

Listening to a thing on WW2 and the nazis, and they get to the part with Horst Wessel, and it turns into a libbed out "and the fascists cracked down 10 times harder, which goes to show that violence only feeds them." Like what? Dawg that's not the lesson, the lesson is when it comes to violence against fascists, go big or go home! They weren't stopped by sound argumentation or legal writs, they were stopped by superior violence on an unimaginable scale! The lesson here is pull put all the stops and use every tool at your disposal!

If you're really indecisive, take up flipping coins. If you truly believe in the finality of the coin toss, you'll often make your mind up while the coin is in the air.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 6 points 5 hours ago

Anton Chigurh doesn't exercise his own agency, though. He just does whatever the coin toss says to do. It would be more apt if he tossed the coin once and decided to kill/spare someone regardless of the outcome.

[–] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Like Chigurh, Harvey Dent is also a slave to the coin toss. He's literally compelled to do whatever the outcome of the coin toss demands. Though IIRC there have been a handful of times that he managed to ignore the outcome and exercise his own agency.

Internet Discourse™ is talking about the new Ghost In The Shell anime.

I had nearly forgotten that it was made as a pretty Ultra-Nationalist work. Either as politics of the author or as a reflection of what kind of politics it has to be for a wet-work government agent to even get this story moving along.

Also a lot of discussion about what Shirow Masamune is up to now… which, holy hell where do we start?

Saw a red fox in my backyard. Teach me about this wonderous creature. I need your best fox facts

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 3 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

This is probably somewhat well known in the anglosphere from anime and such but in Japanese folklore foxes are associated with wisdom, protection of agriculture and the ability to shapeshift and beguile people. The fox spirit critters are known as Kitsune. I never really thought about where this association started, but according to Hiroshi Moriyama, a professor at the Tokyo University of Agriculture:

Foxes have come to be regarded as sacred by the Japanese because they are the natural enemies of rats that eat up rice or burrow into rice paddies. Because fox urine has a rat-repelling effect, Japanese people placed a stone with fox urine on a hokora of a Shinto shrine set up near a rice field. In this way, it is assumed that people in Japan acquired the culture of respecting kitsune as messengers of Inari Okami.

Taken from the wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune

There have also been anthropological sites showing foxes living alongside humans in various places, in Argentina for example there have been foxes found buried with people in hunter-gatherer societies in graves from ~500 CE.

What possible use could Donald Trump have for coconut milk? No way that man accepts it as a substitute for dairy, and I can't imagine any other use of it he wouldn't consider too ethnic. Like, imagine Trump having a curry. You can't do it

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

went over to the neighbors house two days ago to confirm that the tuxedo cat with kittens on their porch wasn't theirs and she wasn't. They didn't know about her. Then there was a storm that night, and we haven't seen her since. Maybe they took her in, but if they did they haven't fucking said anything about it. I don't know where she would have gone when she knows she was getting reliable food and ice water from me. The storm wasn't that bad.

But now it's just like the last time I made friends with a stray. I go outside 10x a day looking for her and she's just not there. I keep making sounds that would bring her hoping it'll work but she's gone and I'm just gonna cry all day about it

ripe tomatoes with salt on themmm my love

[–] isame@hexbear.net 3 points 8 hours ago

I regularly buy a couple tomatoes and a cucumber, chop em up, and just really assault (ha!) them with salt and pepper. It's a great snack or side salad dealio. And if I want I can sprinkle a little sugar over the top too just to add a little sweetness, if I don't want a dressing.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 6 points 11 hours ago

im-vegan, but the following is a perfect meal: Bread, tomato slices, a bit of pepper, a few slices of feta
