To be fair slavery never really went away on the United States.
It's just dressed up a little differently.
"Okay we won't make black people slaves anymore, only criminals will be slaves"
"Black people are criminals"
It really is that cut and dry down there isn't it. Pretty fucking wild.
Prison garb, etc..?
It’s almost funny how this is just textbook fascism
Frankly, out of everything, I'm amazed at just how textbook it fucking is. It's incredible. You'd think that it would be more subtle, more covert, maybe even slightly different so that people won't suspect a thing, or hell, maybe even due to them already knowing that this is how it went in history and what the end result was
But no. It's literally fucking, act for act, the exact same shit. I can hardly believe it. It's so... I don't even know what the appropriate word for it is
It really is something
I feel this comment. Also:
(well it's 89 now)
It'd be funny if it weren't so fucking terrifying
Ah museums, typically the place where you learn about Future.
Everything's computer
Why can't the army use steam? Steam is so powerful. Computers aren't powerful. Everybody's talking about steam.
See when we had steam. The best steam. You would ask: “Where did it go?" That's what they ask. Where is my beautiful steam? Even Obama said it. It was not on the news.
This is your friendly reminder of the original meaning of "woke", which the fascists are trying to erase because it directly threatens the willful ignorance they depend on:
Woke: aware of systemic discrimination and abuse, particularly but not exclusively racism.
That's it. That's the basic requirement for being an informed citizen that they want to erase to make it easier to get everyone to conform to their fascist groupthink.
Yeah, I thought "stay woke" meant to pay attention originally. As in wake up and see how we're being divided.
"wake up Sheeple"
Wait....
Yeah right!!! Why are they not talking about the future!!
Definition of a museum:
A museum is an institution dedicated to displaying or preserving culturally or scientifically significant objects.
Well you could argue that he's been adding to a future segment of the USA's dark history
The Smithsonian features a ton of examples of success. The Air and Space Museum in particular is a monument to American achievement.
100%
I meant to comment that it's very clear he's either never been to any of the museums or literally walked through without looking around himself a single time. (And I have this same comment about museums generally, IME, aside from things like the Holocaust Museum (obv).)
Walked through..? No. If they allow golf carts there’s a chance he’s sped through, mowing down toddlers right and left, yelling about how slavery was great.
But they do it has a different name, though
Nobody tell Trump the name of the bomber that nuked Hiroshima
Yes, it's the museums' fault the US's history comes off so poorly.
There’s not enough future stuff in these goddamned history museums!! (Said the man who defunded most of NASA)
Out of curiosity, what is the counter-argument for "slavery was bad," Mr. President?
Don't worry, Republicans got you covered on that already! It was the life skills!
(This was later repealed IIRC, but not before first being approved.)
Florida’s public schools will now teach students that some Black people benefited from slavery because it taught them useful skills, part of new African American history standards approved Wednesday that were blasted by a state teachers' union as a “step backward.”
The Florida State Board of Education’s new standards includes controversial language about how “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” according to a 216-page document about the state’s 2023 standards in social studies, posted by the Florida Department of Education.
Mother of god.
But it makes me feel bad to think about and it was soooooo long ago
#"how bad slavery was"
#DO NOT LET THIS PASS!!! THIS CUNT IS THE REINCARNATION OF A SOUTHERN SLAVE TRADER!
Mario's brother we need you more than ever.
Like Hitler did great job on building modern highways. One may just conveniently forget 70-85 million lives got wiped out.
The German highways were planned to be built anyway, Hitler coopted the plans for propaganda reasons, also to prepare for war and reduce unemployment. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichsautobahn
‘How bad slavery was’. Sir…. Do you take umbrage with saying slavery was an awful evil thing? What the fuck world are we iiiiinnnnnnnnn.
Lmao not to mention we have the ‘HOTTEST’ country. Ah, so you do believe in science and global warming.
I think he means like Ivanka...like he wants to fuck us!
Well it certainly feels like we're getting fucked.
Ew gross. He is so not my type.
The whole consent aspect doesn't seem to matter to him.
Just grab them by their country
You misspelled childfucker
Damn that's crazy, where are the Epstein files?
Oh, so we’re at that step.
BTW, he definitely did not write this one himself.
I can almost see how his PR drones developed over time, they are now trying to integrate some of his "STYLE" into their ~~tweets~~ ~~truths~~ lies.
how bad slavery was
Yeah...
Dear black republicans, they will get you working the fields again given the chance.
Fascists know no loyalty.
We really need people to go and document the exhibits now so that we'll be able to put back everything he has changed.
"How unaccomplished the downtrodden have been..."
Where do you even begin?
Two words from history... "Entartete Kunst"
I know Musk deleted the woke mind virus a while back and it apparently didn't stick, but now Trump is saying museums are the last remaining segment of woke (whatever that means). That's it, you assholes don't get to say it any more, wokeness has been beaten again. You have to stop calling things woke now.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Bob Dylan
