I didn't so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

You know... Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.

Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There's no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.

I think I got it from Colin Mocheri on Who's Line. So close.

Remember that's the first time Texas fought for slavery.

[-] Cheems@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It's always told as a feel good story but it's actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history

[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

What about the Lusitania? There's so many things we forgot to remember!

What the fuck is an Alamo? Is it like an Internet but with less porn?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Remember the Alamo!

[-] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

Clearly, you haven't seen PeeWee. I ONLY remember the Alamo.

Deep in the heart of texas

[-] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 10 points 4 months ago

Weren't they telling Mexicans not to forget the Alamo? I'm not Mexican, so I shouldn't need to remember the Alamo

[-] JoMomma@lemm.ee 9 points 4 months ago

Aren't we all Mexican on the inside?

If someone weighs 120lbs and has severe munchies, probably from that Grave Reaper Vanilla Kush Zombie Lettuce OG, and eats 12lbs of tacos would that make them 10% Mexican?

[-] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I'd like to forget the Alamo

me: hey, racistpieceofshit, why do you hate Mexicans?

racistpieceofshit: they killed Davey Crockett at the Alamo!

I wish I was making this shit up

Happy dia de la independencia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝ

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago

The Alamo's a story of American expansionism by an ungrateful group of settlers welcomed by Mexico.

[-] pezmaker@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 months ago

As all things will be forgotten. So it goes.

[-] mydoomlessaccount@infosec.pub 5 points 4 months ago

Fuck 'em, I do what I want.

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 5 points 4 months ago

I think that only applies to Texans.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Can't forget what you never knew in the first place.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Forget about Dre though?

[-] darkmarx@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

If that were the case, how did you know to post about it?

[-] CaptainKickass@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The bicycle is in the basement

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

I forgot about Wednesday until someone asked if I "celebrate", their words.
