Reposted by JarrodMarco Rogers @polotek.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Most people have heard the quote “history is written by the winners”.

Jarrod @jarrodplacide.com · 20/01/2025It's been very annoying, as someone with community in many countries, to listen to people elsewhere talk about the current situation like a television show that they just get to talk bullshit about as if real lives aren't being affected. 110
