Settlers: The Mythology Of The White Proletariat from Mayflower to Modern - J. Sakai cracker

A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements. Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. As recounted in painful detail by J. Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being accompanied by violence.

The counter-revolution of 1776: slave resistance and the origins of the United States of America - Gerald Horne amerikkka

In this trailblazing book, Gerald Horne complements his earlier celebrated Negro Comrades of the Crown, by showing that in the prelude to 1776, the abolition of slavery seemed all but inevitable in London, delighting Africans as much as it outraged slaveholders, and sparking the colonial revolt. In the prelude to 1776, more and more Africans were joining the British military, and anti-slavery sentiments were deepening throughout Britain. And in the Caribbean, rebellious Africans were chasing Europeans to the mainland. Unlike their counterparts in London, the European colonists overwhelmingly associated enslaved Africans with subversion and hostility to the status quo. For European colonists, the major threat to security in North America was a foreign invasion combined with an insurrection of the enslaved. And as 1776 approached, London-imposed abolition throughout the colonies was a very real and threatening possibility--a possibility the founding fathers feared could bring the slave rebellions of Jamaica and Antigua to the thirteen colonies. To forestall it, they went to war. The so-called Revolutionary War, Horne writes, was in large part a counter-revolution, a conservative movement that the founding fathers fought in order to preserve their liberty to enslave others--and which today takes the form of a racialized conservatism and a persistent racism targeting the descendants of the enslaved. The Counter-Revolution of 1776 drives us to a radical new understanding of the traditional heroic creation myth of the United States.

Doned in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance had it rough, being in a wheelchair in a world where everyone walks in place where one would normally just stand. Theyre synchronized too, its not in the game audio but every battle must have constant loud marching noises even when no one is moving.

Just watched Boogie Nights, it's fucking great and it's true that the dealer character is the perfect representation of Eddie Nash boiled down into like 7 minutes, right down to calling freebasing 'playing baseball'

If I had seen this movie at like 12, that character would have been goals. But instead I saw Hitchhiker's Guide at that age so Sam Rockwell's Zaphod Beeblebrox became that instead.

I use this music streaming app that uses the Youtube and Youtube Music backlog, and I've been making a monster EDM playlist with it. I search for playlists of classics within subgenres and just add them straight to EDM playlist. Im at 17000 at the moment I have everything from, techno, belgian techno, berlin techno, detroit techno, japanese techno, dark techno, minimal techno, trance, psychedelic trance and techno, future trance, house, progressive house, acid house, eurodance, uk garage, uk dubstep, 2-step, breakstep, techstep, drum n bass, neurofunk, future bass, jungle, hardstyle, acid core, brostep, raggatek, electro disco, dark electro, EBM, IDM, deconstructed club, spacesynth and some other more obscure foreign club scenes. Fuck electro house.

i truly love this. it's so far removed from my musical experience/taste it might as well be from another planet.

i would hate listening to your playlist so much, but i would definitely enjoy listening to you explain the difference between the subgenres. gosh Almighty, 17000! my brain trembles. it must be...days n days worth of dance music right? you could use that mix to break my mind.

No shade, i mean it. truly, your effort is amazing. i unironically wish i could appreciate even a little of that music but EDM is just... beyond me.

Impulse-grabbed a different color gas tank than usual and now I'm heating my dabs with MAPP gas. Frankly it's way faster and better than propane, and doesn't stink
