In evil there's light works a bit for the global export of white beauty standarts. it used to be so that your country could have its local cisheteropatriarchal beauty standarts enforced with an iron first and terrorize all citizens who grew up within the culture. now the specter of only the whites being acceptable haunts the inferiority complexes of all such standarts which is you gotta admit slightly funny

the fact it's mainstream imperial core narrative is inhumane. it's confirmed that MILLIONS of soviets DIED because of hawkish capitalist policies which were implemented after ussr fall. gorbachev should be remembered as complicit party in this, i will not be afraid to say, genocide.

"america’s biggest export historically is not democracy, but art made by black people." no, it's imperialism, actually.

anyway you should always remember that all those foreigners you see dying on the news are just as real people as you are who have just as much interiority as you do. there is nothing about you that makes you more important and it is by pure chance that you are not in their position. in fact, this holds for all of history. every person, no matter the horror of the fate that befell them, had just as much interiority as you do. i feel like some people haven't fully internalized this.

comrades, it does not do for a Marxist Leninist to be bihet, as it makes a metaphysical ideal of bisexuality, eliding the material reality of one's heterosexual relationships. hence the inevitable association of bihet shawties with immaterial superstitions like astrology and diet soda consumption: it is an inherently irrational and reactionary worldview. a principled revolutionary socialist always insists upon the heterosexuality of girls with boy friends, situations ship etc, unless he is adequately fruity, and/or nonbinary. we will be smeared as reddit in this struggle. we will be smeared as nerd emoji. but we can not afford to succumb to liberalism in this or any matter. the fate of the world's workers rests on our backs.

The midsummer flame.
Sant Joan (Midsummer or Saint John’s Night) is one of the main festivity for Catalan people, it’s even considered the unofficial national day of the Catalan Countries.
All around the country, people will be throwing fireworks, lighting bonfires and eating coca de Sant Joan and coca de llardons with their friends. Legends say that this is the most magical night of the year, where you may see small magical beings like fairies and little elves and where there are many superstitions, often related to fire.
Various poems and songs talk about this magical night, the most famous of which is the 1886 epic poem Canigó by Jacint Verdaguer. As the name shows, this poem is centered around the Canigó mountain (in Northern Catalonia), a highly symbolic place for the origin of our nation, both historically and in legends.
In 1955, inspired by this poem, a Northern Catalan man from Arles walked to the top of the mountain, 2,784 meters high, to retrieve a flame. Each year, more people would join him, and this has created a modern tradition. Since 1965, the tradition is fixed as the following: all the people who want (usually about 400 people who come from all around the Catalan Countries) meet and eat together, and then at the night of June 22nd and the early morning of the 23rd they climb the mountain together, light the fire at the mountain top while reading a poem, and the next morning they bring back down the fire in their lanterns. The flame is kept until next year in the Castellet (a medieval fortification in Perpinyà, the capital city of Northern Catalonia), and each of the participants goes back to their city or town with the flame, where the flame they brought from the Canigó is used to light their bonfires on Sant Joan’s night (June 23rd to 24th). Towns who didn’t send anyone to the Canigó will often go and get some Canigó fire from a nearby town who has it. It’s calculated that, on Midsummer’s night, more than 3,000 bonfires are lit with the Canigó’s flame.
Fire is a symbolic element in Catalan culture that is part of different traditional festivities (Sant Joan, festes majors, falles del Pirineu, falles de València, Sant Antoni…). The Canigó flame being used to light bonfires all around the Catalan Countries symbolizes brotherhood and the vitality of Catalan culture and that we don’t forget who we are, no matter how hard they try to erase us (remember that when the tradition was started, Franco’s dictatorship in Spain was still persecuting Catalan culture and language and both France and Spain made teachers beat children who were heard speaking Catalan).

I don't think USAmericans understand the gravity of the situation they are in. Why don't you look into your history books for how this particular strategy has fared out instead of condescending to a third worlder about how I couldn't possibly understand the nuance of political mobilization in the USA?
