On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

He was an active participant in the effort to expand and colonize the frontier. What the fuck are we doing here?

You can't claim Johnny Appleseed "respected indigenous tribes" when he took advantage of their gradual displacement to grow a bunch of trees that aren't native to North America.

"Resistance Roots" Here's the story of a colonizer who spread an invasive species across lands that didn't belong to him, at the expense of the environment and for the benefit of the colonizers. The fuck?

Starting culinary school on Monday. A midlife career change is fucking exciting and terrifying in equal measure. But my history degree has done fuck-all for me, and I can't be a delivery driver forever. Just for once in my life, I need a decision I make to work out for me. Wish me luck.

I was gonna say "had a vasectomy" until you threw in that caveat. I guess instead I'll say that time I took my nephew and my dad to Italy for two weeks. We hit Rome, Florence, and Pompeii. Nephew was 12, and it was his first time out of the country. He ate pizza every day 🤣

Its worth keeping in mind that the reason FDR implemented so many social welfare policies was to preempt and defuse leftist parties The US then spent close to a century brutally beating and assassinating anyone who threatened to create a strong united Left.

Whole bunch of people claiming to be against capitalism and imperialism still swallowing imperialist lies. Fucking sad and frustrating, man.

In other words, I don't deny there was a famine. I deny the imperialist spin that it was man-made.

100

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Again, famine was quite common prior to industrialization. You can look up the history of famine if you were actually curious, but I know you won't. It appears there is no imperialist lie you won't immediately swallow.

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Famine was common in China, as well as the rest of the world, until industrialized farming. To suggest that it was caused by communism is to ignore the bulk of human history.

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I have nothing to expound on. You're literally just repeating Cold-War era CIA and State Department lies. If the capitalists/imperialists are your enemies, why do you believe their propaganda?

It's weird that you seem to condemn every successful socialist revolution with the exact same framing as the US State Department.

You're getting your talking points about Korea from the imperialists though.

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

The propaganda certainly has been.

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Do you believe everything you hear from the State Department, or is it just when they talk about China? Do you also think Saddam had WMD'S? I guess it's not like they have a long, long history of lying about their enemies or anything... 🤔

I find it adorable that you think we can emulate their successes without an ounce of the effort or sacrifice it took for them to accomplish them. Are you also shocked when men pull rabbits out of tophats?

"Let's look at doing those things." Ok, step one, end capitalist control. Oop, the people with all the money are fighting back because it turns out they don't want to give up control. Now what?

110

Ben @bendon82.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Maybe it's because you're transparently only interested in yourself and your own comfort. You're unwilling to fight, and I mean actually fight, for anyone but yourself. To you, everyone else's lives are just lambs for sacrifice on the altar of "politics."
