[hajima-7]

i get ur getting pissy and/or losing whatever argument is going on but clinging on to shit details so much aint doing anything lol

piss off

[d1sc01nf3rn0]

Nothing pisses me off more than people assuming I'm usian and attacking me because of that.

It's always the "you're usian, so don't talk about this", "you're usian, right", "you're usian, what do you know?".

I'm mexican, born and raised from Mexico. Never left the country. All my socials say that I am from Mexico.

I speak English because you weirdos refuse to speak other language, and have basically colonized the internet. Every other non English speaking person is forced to learn it to use the internet properly. Philippinos, japanese, brazilian people, etc. You come to my country and build call centers where you pay us shit, and ask us to speak English. You belittle us and insult us if our accent shows and we do not appear white, or usian enough.

I am so sick and tired of this. And the worst part is that only speaking spanish is not an option, because there's only so many people that speak spanish on the internet, and even then not everyone is from Mexico.

you reblog so many 18th century stuff and nothing about AmRev? :(

I'm not interested in US history at all, no matter the time period.

There are plenty of blogs for the US revolution to follow, I'm not (and will not) be one of them.

I’m taking the term world tour away from artists and management they can have it back when they’ve shown they know how to use it properly

I'll admit I did not expect someone who claims to be First Nations to display the arrogance of a white gringx; but then again he has "transmisogyny exempt" and minors Do Not Interact on his bio.

Okay bitches, and @rimurutempest if you're still listening:

You know how South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are different things but all part of the continent called Asia? Yeah, America is similar, it's one singular but it's divided in parts, the parts are not as different as Asia thanks to colonialism but the division still exists. Unless you want to tell me India isn't part of Asia you have to accept that it's possible for North and South America to be both different but also part of the same continent.

In that same vein it's entirely possible for Central America to be part of the same continent as North America, but not being part of North America itself; unless you think it's correct to say that China is part of the Middle East because they're in the same continent

Next, plaque tectonics are a bitch and you know continental division has nothing to do with that, it's post-hoc; borders have always been socially constructed.

Third, you are correct that "America" is a colonialist name (btw "settlers" is not the word I use for those people, but whatever); but you are also using it!

Fourth, "inventing unfounded notions" oh, fuck you you arrogant gringo. Just because you're ignorant of the world outside of the USA (or Canada, I suppose) doesn't mean it was made up or unfounded; the 5 Continent model is the one accepted by the Spanish speaking world and the Olympics (why do you think the logo has only 5 rings?). Also we outnumber you bitch, Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, there are 100 million more of us than native English speakers, and we all agree there are only 5 continents

Also a note for everyone: Latin Americans carry a lot of resentment towards the USA and don't separate ethnicity from nationality the way gringxs do (well call a Latino "gringo" if they're born and raised in the USA, we don't give a fuck); so we do not care what race a gringx is, if they're gonna try to argue their country is called "America" and only their people are Americans, we will throw hands

Do not call USA "America" in front of Latin America unless you're ready for a fight; and I'm not joking right now, rivers of digital ink have been spilled on this topic. We even have a catchy song!

Go back to your country

Me simultaneously going to the four different countries that each of my grandparents had to flee in fear as children while not having a citizenship to any of them & not speaking their languages:

[wheucto]

okay so THIS implies that france exists, or at least existed at some point. since it can't be french, if france does not exist. most likely, at least.

however, the eiffel tower is notably not in paris, and seems to not be in france. it appears in a grassy plains, which puffball speaker box says is "east of the canal."

there are three reasons for this which i can think of:

france used to exist, but no longer does. the eiffel tower is just a remnant of distant times when france did exist

the eiffel tower was relocated to a grassy plains east of the canal, but used to be in france

the eiffel tower makes things french

Be respectful in your comments. You can criticize a government without offending its people.

I've noticed a pattern so I figured I'd run a poll on it. I wish I could be more granular with the locations but the ones I picked are based on the pattern I've been seeing. I'd love to hear explanations for why you do or do not use it, as well!
