The Counter-Revolution of 1776:Slave Resistance and the Origins of the United States of America.
As the United States of America, celebrate its independence anniversary declared on 4th July, 1776, we take a look at the history of America, the events that led to declaration of independence, and most importantly why declaration of independence was not a cause for celebration among all Americans, particularly for the native Americans and the enslaved African Americans. “For Native Americans, it may be a bitter reminder of colonialism, which brought fatal diseases, cultural hegemony and genocide. Neither did the new republic’s promise of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” extend to African Americans. The colonists who declared their freedom from England did not share their newly founded liberation with the millions of Africans they had captured and forced into slavery.”
The so-called Revolution was according to Professor Gerald Horne, was a ‘Counter-Revolution’ a conservative effort by American colonists to protect their system of slavery. Contrary to anonymous role often assign to African Americans in the American Revolution (which Prof. Gerald Horne refer to as Counter-Revolution) the prof. lucidly outline their roles and their major impact. The book is a great shift in paradgim.
Professor Gerald Horne, is the author of the book “The Counter-Revolution of 1776: Slave Resistance and the Origin of the United States of America.”

Can someome help me with Matrix? Every time I go to try to get an account, it says I need a client, so I get client but can’t make an account on it.
its really been way too long since i read rebels in the rif, i forgot abd al krim [there really should be an emoji for him on this site] killed sharif rasuli.
every imperialist nation tried with all their guns and it was the victors of annual that actually got the motherfucker.
i still support rifian independence in the year of our lord 2026. my grains to gods ear
it’s too late, ive already portrayed myself as the Chad “before you downvote” despite knowing the instance allows no downvotes
I think autism rizz is real because the couple of times I interact with neurotypical people and say something that sounds corny as hell and mean it they look at me with eyes of wonder as they can’t detect sarcasm in my voice or my face
I don’t care of their opinions of me I’m gonna say what I wantNo dude like you’re like, you’re figuring it out, dawg, so like, you’re a different person to everyone you meet, as much as you don’t know how to interpret their interactions, neither do they yours, and part of that is that when you say even ridiculous things with confidence, people have to have a moment to appraise that. it’s a power to use, like witchcraft
went to play through delta run chapter 5 finally but I can’t remember if my current save is a good save or a weird route save guess that means I gotta start over again
or you could abuse yourself way too hard (don’t recommend) and push yourself through it while also getting so drunk you remember nothing (don’t recommend)
If you ever feel a sense of shame holding you back the key is to grovel on linkedin for a job, everything is just so much easier when your dignity dies larping with can do attitude/up and coming millionaire mindset 🤑
Guy who thinks it’s hangdong instead of hangdog
“He was a haggard man in a rumpled suit, eyes tired and with a hangdong look about him”
Ive never heard the phrase hangdog but i wouldn’t use it so closely after haggard in writing because it sounds too similar. alliterative in a bad way, seems like the same word
He’s not sure why there’s a popular saying about a specific district in northern Thailand, but whatever, he’s not a word-ologist.

Americans shorten “mathematics” to just “math” but they refer to “sport” as a whole as “sports”. Not to mention they put an S on the end of “Lego” in the same vein. I just can’t with these people
(not here to argue your point, just commiserating)
It’s worse the more you learn too, all the dumb regional variations and idioms are so annoying. Having moved around the country a few times it’s so so annoying to talk to people and get the "oh X? You mean Y?!?
" treatment all the time. If it makes you feel better, people that live a few hundred kilometers from each other here hate the way each other talk way more than you could ever.
Weird question but is Thailand like Colombia when it comes to sexpats, only with trans women? Every time Thailand gets brought up there’s always “hilarious” fetish jokes about the trans women there. It reminds me of how foreigners talk about Colombia and Latin America with the women.
Just saw a post on rednote about how Thailand was one of the major R&R (rest n relaxation) spots for deployed US soldiers during the invasion of Vietnam. According to the posters there, the GI’s insatiable lust became a lucrative industry and effeminate Thai men recognized they could entertain GI’s by role-playing as women/girlfriends. It was an interesting perspective but I have no knowledge of the history of gender in Thailand. I suspect the population already existed in the culture but capitalism and imperialism turned it into an industry? Idk
Unsure if feeling like I’m being constantly misinterpreted is a normal thing everyone feels or if I just suck at communication
