  1. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    The evils inseparably annexed to the present condition of man, are so numerous and afflictive, that it has been, from age to age, the task of some to bewail, and of others to solace them; and he, therefore, will be in danger of seeing a common enemy, who shall attempt to depreciate the few pleasures and felicities which nature has allowed us.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1753-11-27), The Adventurer, No. 111

    And remember.

    This is everyone's #history.

    #Black people are #oppressed when #white people act out the #oppression. Oppression isn't something that just happens to people. My forebears built some hefty #systems of oppression, but these systems still need buy-in to keep going.

    In computer systems, we use the word #privilege to describe the level of #access a user has. Whether they can #read a file. Whether they can #update a file.

    Our #government is updated by #elections. By #voters. For most of #USA history, Black people did not have update access to government. This is not Black history, this is #USHistory.

    When you research Black history, remember this is our shared history.

    These are the stories about our #nation. Many of these are like the #family stories that are told in whispers. Bad things that were done by people that we're related to.

    When people say that they don't want this taught because it will make their #children feel bad about themselves, they usually mean one of two things:

    - /they/ feel bad about this #evil themselves, and they feel the kind of #guilt that they want to hide from. They want their kids to remain #innocent about the evil in the world, especially this kind

    or

    - they /don't/ feel bad about these #evils and they do /not/ want to be #judged by their children

  6. #Nationalists are #brainwashed #cult members, rabidly defending/justifying depraved #evils. While being too ignorant to realize the cult leaders they admire/support would have no problems throwing them under the bus or just killing them(depending on where you live), if it benefits cult leader & his/her minions & their backpocket bribing money stuffers.

  11. Starting around Windows 8, Microsoft has continually added more and more things to #Windows that the users absolutely, positively do not want. Adding #ads - #commercials! - to the #desktop #OS that are actively user-hostile is conclusive proof of this. They are no longer trying to serve the #user; they are trying to *attract* the user so they can be sold for profit to #advertisers, databrokers, and other assorted #evils. Windows 11 is actively anti-user.
