A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, they only seem to push it when someone mentions natural resources, whether gold or oil. Extremely dishonorable people, not like the Argentinians who go to war for a big useless rock. the British started work on stealing the land since the 1800s. in 1899 a gaggle of whites decided Venezuela didn't get to keep its own territory. in 1949 the horse trading the British did to steal the territory was made public, so in 1966 the British spun off its colony to launder its theft as decolonization. it worked on uneducated people like you🥰

i believe the point of contention here is that this particular region was never legitimately a part of guyana in the first place also whenever the brits voluntarily decolonized a place they always made sure to leave their compradors in charge, hth my bony fealty posted:want to be essequibo brothers with Maduro essequibros stand up Cerebral Bore has issued a correction as of 09:18 on Dec 8, 2023 |

A Buttery Pastry posted:the brits are irrelevant to modern day guyana, seeing as the country is like 0.3% white, those largely being of portuguese descent. guyana is functionally an indo-african state, with 40% of the population being the descendants of indentured servants, and 50% being the descendants of slaves, the remainder belonging to various indigenous groups. even if a crime was carried out in creating guyana, which is basically a given when the brits are involved, the people living there are the primary victims and should be the only consideration when it comes to the current territory. naw if i steal your house and fill it with 40% of the population being the descendants of indentured servants, and 50% being the descendants of slaves, the remainder belonging to various indigenous groups, its still your house that was stolen from you

from what i've read this current flareup in the territorial dispute is that guyana decided to have ICJ decide who that land belongs to without consulting the other side about it considering how ICJ is beholden to regimes that are quite hostile to current venezuelan govt, it's not very hard to understand why they don't want that to happen

Guyana bases their claim on British imperialism, Venezuela on Spanish imperialism. But seeing as it is oil, and therefore the enemy of the climate it should be returned to the sea or whatever.

i feel uncomfortable saying i read a book if i listened to the audiobook i can't imagine getting through the preface then leaving a greasy copy of some Austrian school drivel on a park bench, and calling that experience "reading" also holy poo poo that dude also published an article saying Francis bacon opposed the printing press, complete with obviously ChatGPT-ed fake references and quotes: https://web.archive.org/web/2023030...th-century.html

Arsenic Lupin posted:Don't! Cigarette rollers in the 19th century used to pay somebody to come in and read novels to them while they worked. English families sat together while somebody (often the father) read out loud, anything from sermons to Dickens. Listening to a whole book = reading it. The fact that there's a long history of doing it doesn't mean it's equivalent to reading. A big part of reading is that you dwell on each sentence - even each word - for as long as you need to process it. When the book is being read for you, that doesn't happen, the next sentence is incoming whether you're done with the prior sentence or not. This makes such a big difference that I'd call them fundamentally different activities, although they're both valuable, meaningful ways to engage with text
