Africa would have been subjected to a bloodbath of proportions unseen in history if the white man hadn't destroyed their culture first.

Examples I point to are as follows -

The Zulu nation was happily destroying not only all of it's neighbors, but many of their own people as the leadership happened to be certifiably insane. Shaka for example had a small penis (actually historically accurate) and killed thousands of people because of it. The zulu empire was actually not the bad one as the Matabele under Mzilikali after his loss to the zulu, took his tribe and conducted a scorched earth campaign across the lower section of africa destroying all in his path.

Lets not forget the laughable Xhosa girl Nongqawuse who said she saw visions that if everybody killed off their cattle and burned their fields the dead spirits of their ancestors would grant not only tenfold cattle in return, but destruction of the new white Anglo/Boer civilization in the southern cape. Needless to say after they slaughtered and burned everything no ancestors were forthcoming and 25 thousand of the Xhosa tribe died.
The tribes of africa were largely barbaric and vicious groups of people who really only understood killing for the most part. There were exceptions to the rule as there always are, the hottentots, and various smaller tribes, but for the most part african culture was set up to destroy other cultures to begin with.

I'm not going to say that they are better off having been colonized by the europeans, but the alternative was pretty vicious as well.

If anyone is wondering, means "Yes it's true we have been beaten - and by what - beaten by money and the 'ethnic' vote" is the translation.

This was a speech given after the 1995 referendum for Quebec independence. Also it is alleged that Jacques Parizeau is extremely drunk when he got up there and said this, though for me its hard to tell because Quebecois French sounds like you're drunk anyway.

The video pre-panned in case of Independence victory is like a complete 180 from this, super inclusive and hopeful.

And then defeat and drunkenness and the truth comes out. All my separatists friends are still bitter.

We had an election and kicked out our hilariously corrupt government. Yay!

Their successor were slightly less corrupt but kind of schizophrenic, broke their promises, and then lost an election they called over a stupid racist policy.

After a year, the same hilariously corrupt rear end in a top hat were back in power. They still are, and it feels increasingly like we have become a 1-party Province with a bunch of austerity-crazy kleptocrats in power forever, destroying all our good institutions like our healthcare system. Woo.

I just remembered when forum member Martin Random somehow managed to convince the internet he had the inside scoop on the Bush White House and posted a bunch of insane insider stories. A true precursor to the rogue twitter accounts of today.

Some choice quotes:

Dick Cheney has chronic gum problems and his breath smells like poo poo as a result. He is also a CLOSE TALKER. He keeps a small bottle of diluted hydrogen peroxide which he rinses with every hour on the hour, and he swallows it instead of spitting. He also picks his nose vigorously (violently) and hums loudly and tunelessly to himself while taking shits.

Donald Rumsfeld needs to wear iced underwear because of some medical condition, and he has his secret service detail hold his spares. He was recently getting uncontrollable long-term erections and had to change up his medical treatments. The underwear and the erections is why he uses a standing desk, not because he is some super-man. He also wears nylon stockings, not because he's gay, but to control some vascular problem with his legs which causes him intense pain.

Tom Ridge brushes his teeth like 3 times per day religiously, but he can't stand looking at someone brushing their teeth. He contorts as in agony, as if he is actually experiencing pain. He can't watch himself brush his teeth, and even describing the process of brushing teeth drives him up a wall.

If you joke around near Rumsfeld, he will stare at you intensely as if you just killed his mother for about 10 seconds, which will be unnerving because you think you've offended him, then he will begin to laugh a little bit, a bit more, until he is in hysterics. He has a chest condition called Pleurisy that causes this; breathing deeply is painful to him as is laughing with gusto, so he tries very hard to control himself before losing it. It really unnerves people who are trying to be sociable. This is the reason for his creepy shallow laugh in public.

So is he QAnon?

Exactly. Vampires are horrible monsters and their organizations are pretty on-the-nose reflections of the capitalist systems. You were supposed to find those things bad. 1E/2E had a lot fo focus on playing rebels and/or reformers within the various Supernatural groups, which slowly faded away into becoming soap-opera as the metaplot took over.

The founding of the Canadian Confederation was basically a con job and only happened because the Fathers of the Confederation were completely shitfaced.



Everyone in that picture is horribly hungover.

The maritime provinces tried to back out once they realized the horrible mistake that was Canada, but decided to stay on after John A MacDonald (our first prime minister, an alcoholic racist genocide-lover) promised them all kind of poo poo they needed. Most of these things, of course, never happened.
