  • sure, if you wanna do a dog-shit ahistorical analysis of what lead to this, you could place the blame entirely on Trump.

    do you seriously expect us to ignore the direct parallel between the Democrats adopting fascist rhetoric and deportations and the social Democrats in Germany adopting AfD propaganda in their program?

    you either didn’t pay attention when she threw us under the bus to win the fascist electorate or You actively cheered her on as she was doing it. same for her being a rabid Zionist.










  • hence the inherent problem with crypto. you’re always gonna end up with fascist billionaires at the helm when you essentially implement a vote determined by how much bro-tokens you own.

    I’m not aware of any blockchain implementation that isn’t just a reskin of late stage capitalism.

    they call it “decentralized” when most of Bitcoin’s mining power is centralized in the hands of a few shadow companies and for the proof of stake model it’s centralized in the hands of a few wall street bros




  • Native and mestizo aren’t the same thing. Mestizos are the people that assimilated and therefore enjoy privilege over indigenous people. identifying as mestizo is kind of the opposite of being indigenous because you’re adopting a colonial identity.

    We don’t go asking Italians before we put stuff in Latin.

    except Italians aren’t being genocided by any state for being Italian. Latin would be Spanish in this context, not Nahuatl. Latin was imposed through colonization around the world. And before anyone brings up the Aztec empire, it hasn’t existed in centuries.

    Mexico forces Spanish upon indigenous groups to bring them closer to the conquistador ideal of a good Mexican citizen. them appropriating Nahuatl words to seem cool is more akin to racist Republicans stealing words from Black American English to market their products or politics.

    Mexico is a bit different from America in their approach to assimilation in that they strive for mestizaje (making every Mexican mixed). You can see the ideology behind it in La raza cósmica.

    I think it should be obvious why erasing indigenous cultures through state violence isn’t a benign thing.
