Semi-related: I love Daveed Diggs down for being everything that Lin pretends to be, because he straight up wrote "guns n ships" in his own flow to such a degree that to can palpably tell when Lin (whackly) picks the pen back up. Imagine getting sonned like that in your own musical lmao

And also theft

YUP, it's what all of their cultural cache is built on: superiority, propriety, and hierarchies that oh-so-naturally favor themselves

Those countries are no-gos for me solely off that shit alone

And this is a little tin-foil hatty of me to say, but I feel like it's why we see so many people from the British Empire (I refuse to call it a commonwealth,) behind the more fucked up regressions of American society rn, most notably and consequentially being Fox News and Musk

Anyway tl;dr: the concerted European effort to paint Americans as uniquely uneducated about our own history is not only a self-report, but also an effort to keep information about the British Empire's continued brutality from spreading through an English-language source outside the Empire's control

Also: Focusing on the Caribbean like they didn't fuck up a huge swath of Africa itself is... rich, and I'm assuming it has something to do with wanting to keep those colonies underfoot

Ok pause, Prince weird is different than regular weird

I kept thinking about Canada as she was talking because the vibes are identical re: worker demographics

Speaking specifically of Minnesota: They've dealt with so many national guard deployments from both colors of admins atp that it barely serves as a deterrent anymore lol.
