Let me root, root, root for the home team
if they don't win, it's a shame
for it's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen strikes, you're out
at the old ball game.

Doesn't have the same ring to it, I don't think.

Derry forgot that practical effects destroy CGI every time. And that bums me out.

We get real monster for fleeting glimpses through this whole series and those glimpses are better than anything a computer can spit out.

I still remember being in high school and not being allowed to carry pain meds (because I guess Midol or grocery store ibuprofen was a gateway drug? Hell if I know 🤷‍♀️). And I wasn't going to beg to go to the nurses office so I just suffered.

This is exactly what he is.
A criminal slave owner.
He exploits human suffering just like Hitler did in Germany.

Yesh, and so I’m curious.

As it’s not innate. All jokes have a cultural source.

Jersey Shore being the most contemporary rep for NJ stereotypes as far as my age group, tho,

I’m curious about the initial main stream poking at NJ. It def came about cuz artists bring their culture into their work.

And what happened to good honest Irish sectarianism. It’s Christian values these days. Our old sort would say Catholic, but I guess that doesn’t fit the new talking points.

BTW, wealth doesn’t equate good. Good and bad can be wealthy. (tho I’d argue, the extremely wealthy can’t exist in a good society- it’s not logical on a math lvl.)

The UK and US have a lot of wealth, but their people don’t, income inequality.

Diversity is limited during high income inequality.

Diversity helps in spite of how evil countries can be.

Evil is worth knowing throughly, tho, to better know good.

Actions should be held accountable, so as to not repeat, but also to know how much harm needs to be recovered from.

Actions and individuals, and those who refuse to learn, cause harm.

It’s unsustainable. Worth knowing this. Slavery leads to downfalls.

It occurs because humans can feel love, pain and desperation.

The history of fallen nations have a pattern of relying on a form of slavery.

If morales aren’t enough to end slavery, it’s still smart to end it before a fall.

Sharing all this because there’s a lot of throughlines leading to the US becoming ahead as it did.

The assumptions I want to dislodge, though, is that a great economy comes from slavery.

There are rich countries with shit economies- it reflects in the worth of a dollar.

We are currently there.

As far as the wealth of people vs the wealth of the wealthy (GINI vs GDP), the economy is better when we stop slavery.

The US had a lot of problems before WW2, but the world did too.

The first war was a response beyond an assassination.

The WW1 historians have a lot of info to share.

The New Deal helped diversify across industries. A lot of people were no longer stuck on the bottom in ways the pre New Deal era had them.

If the US had overcome its racism, income inequality wouldn’t be where it is now, but

the New Deal didn’t enter the 60’s intact.

The economy reflects that.

Think on US’s economy pre and post WW1, and same with WW2.

Folks are taught war is why we’re wealthy- that our wealth needs military gains. (untrue propaganda.)

Europe’s recovery from two wars,
the US being forced to allow diversity in jobs, and FDR’s New Deal are the answers hardly taught.

There’s assumptions here worth reflecting on.

As the US wasn’t a rich nation for a long time, there are holes to address.

It’s worth it to know what wealth can come from, how it’s distributed, and how it stays.

History shows, diversity, when allowed to leave the bottom, raises wealth overall.

or the ones that have been multicultural for so long we forget, but they have hundreds of languages in a single "nation:

People concentrate on hating their neighbor keeps them from hating the people who are stealing the proceeds of their labor

And that statement of theirs proves it. “Diversity” didn’t kill unions, using “diversity” as a fucking pejorative did. Driving wedges between cultural/ethnic/religious groups has been used to kill labor movements SINCE THE INCEPTION OF LABOR MOVEMENTS.

People who say “multicultural societies don’t work” are (either knowingly or not) specifically doing that work

Multicultural societies don’t work as long as you don’t pay attention to how outside forces and/or internal forces trying to gain power use differences/divisions between those cultures to purposefully foment conflict in order to serve their own ends

multicultural societies don't work as long as you don't count the single wealthiest, most powerful society in human history or any of the other successful ones

What I’ve been trying to point out for years now is that there is a money maker behind this sentiment, invested in it staying set this way. You can’t have billion dollar industry forcing autistic children to mask without scaring everyone about autism first

It’s like… I mean I hope they retracted because they realized how ridiculous they are rather than just being confused and afraid of being called racist.

Would love if folks learned. Would love some reflection from them. Pls!

They say these things and go the opposite where facts should lead em.

What a walnut.
