politics @lemmy.world•We’re Nearing the Day When ICE Thugs Just Open Fire on Crowds
2·9 days agoAn analysis based on class struggle would recognize that the Revolution was driven by and primarily benefited land speculators, as I alluded to earlier with my reference to the Henderson purchase. Pure Marxist historians are more creatures of the 70’s than the modern day. Historiography continues on.
You sound much more like a high school history teacher than a historian.
I hold a Bachelors in American History and am in fact certified to teach high school history.
Do you have anything other than personal attacks? Going to provide any sources of your own?

41·9 days agoNotice how you couldn’t be arsed to provide a historical argument or evidence that you know anything about the time period?
Fuck you. No, the murder of Renee Good is not comparable to soldiers getting confused about an order to fire when they were literally getting pelted with rocks.
Christ. Obviously Adam’s should haven’t of defended them, they should have just been executed on sight. Makes perfect sense.
Maybe read some primary sources from the time period, instead of trying to argue about a topic you haven’t looked into since high school.

81·9 days agoSorry, I studied American history beyond high school “King George was literally Hitler” propaganda.
Don’t forget that a major factor motivating the “Patriots” was the fact that England was going to create an Indian reserve (land speculators doing shit like “buying” all of Kentucky for a handful of beads was pretty problematic for peace), and that they were letting the Canadians be Catholic. But sure, we can pretend that expecting the colonists to contribute to the costs of defending them against the Indians they were genociding was horrific oppression.

42·9 days agoJust a reminder that the defense attorney, for the soldiers that gunned down the people during the Boston massacre, was none other than future president John Adams.
At the time, they were not advocating for independence, just more autonomy. Giving a fair trial and good representation in that trial was a way to demonstrate that the colonies could provide fair justice without England’s intervention. This is why they were so pissed off when the “Impartial Administration of Justice” Act passed.
He successfully argued they were in fear for their lives.
Which was probably fair in this case. The protesters at the “massacre” were throwing rocks at the soldiers. There was reasonable confusion in the moment.

6·22 days agoHere’s what Katie Miller is posting on Twitter.

They love war. They know the economy sucks and the president is unpopular - they are the type of people who believe the myth of the Nazi economy being good because of its war machine. They also want wars as an excuse to delay elections, at no point have they been subtle about this.

Like, legally, there is no where a trans man can piss in the UK. Not allowed in the women’s, not allowed in the men’s. Just got piss yourself.

politics @lemmy.world•Trump administration moves to cut off transgender care for children
22·1 month agoThey aren’t going to stop with children. They’ve spent years poisoning the well, telling people that doctors are lopping off children’s penises. They’ve lied about how trans health care works, to the point where your average person believes at least a few of the lies.
This kind of attack will be read by hospitals as a threat to anyone providing care for adults as well. The ultimate goal is to criminalize all trans existence.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's the longest, hardest fantasy rpg out there?
19·1 month agoDaggerfall is long as fuck (in universe, the adventure takes at least ten years.) The dungeons are massive serpentine mazes. Multiple guilds and factions, although they don’t feature overarching questlines - lots of radiant quests, but they never really feel boring.
It’s also fairly difficult - especially if you build a character without cheesing it with a guide. You need to be juggling multiple saves to prevent yourself being trapped in a certain death situation, mess up a quest, etc.
There’s a modern remake, Daggerfall Unity, which a lot of people say is a good way to play it nowadays. The original DOS version is quite playable through DOSBox though, and there’s lots of little quality of life tools that you can find online.

politics @lemmy.world•Debate sparks after OU student's essay citing Bible gets failing grade
262·2 months agoWhat concerns me is that there is already a massive problem with mental health care in Oklahoma being very religious, and this person being a psychology major. This is not a person who would be a safe practitioner for an LGBT person to turn too - they are showing that they are someone who cannot remain professional and separate their work from their personal religious beliefs.
As an OU alum myself, I also am disappointed with that quality of writing from a junior.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun?
4·2 months agoWhen I had them, they were very sudden. I didn’t have auras or anything.
It was very odd. The first one I had I didn’t realize was a seizure - I was out working on a farm and woke up very confused and missing my glasses. It wasn’t until I had one in front of my ex husband, and woke up fighting firefighters, that I figured out what was going on.
So yeah, wouldn’t have warnings if I was driving. I’d honestly be happy to never drive again if I didn’t live in a place where that was impossible - I haven’t had one in years and think I figured out why I was having them, but it is scary knowing that there is some trigger that could hit me out of nowhere.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people with epilepsy triggered by flashing lights, drive past trees that are backlit by the sun?
7·2 months agoYou are incorrect when it comes to the United Stares. There is a varying period of time you have to go without seizures, but you are not permanently barred from driving.
When I had seizures several years ago, I was told to wait for six months by the doctor. They didn’t report anything to any regulatory authority, it really just worked on the honor system. My seizures were controlled, and I drive regularly now.

Killed by the Klan, but the government helped justify it. Did the same kind of shit they are doing to Renee Good.
ICE is just formally state sponsored Klan. The Venn diagram of cops and Klan approaches a circle at certain points of US history.
