  • Sprinkle in a little bias, a little propaganda, a little mythology, then lose 75% of the information, and you’ve got the Eastern understanding of Asian history.

    Same goes for the Western understanding of Caucasian history, of course.

    There is no discoverable objective reality when it comes to history. Not even the people in the moment at any given point in history really understand what’s going on. It’s all a construct.





  • Meanwhile, I’m white af and love rolling down the street bumping Nortec (electro Norteñas) once in a while. Hilariously fun music. But yeah, it’s a weird take on a weird genre of campy music rooted in polka.

    I think classic ranchera is hard to hate (i.e. Vicente Fernandez)

    I also quite like Corridos Tumbados despite the controversy and think most people can get into that.

    Mexican cumbia isn’t quite as cool as Peruvian space cumbia, but there are some heavy hitters from Mexico.





  • Making it illegal to voice certain opinions only pushes them underground. Ideas and ideology will fester if they only exist in a secluded echo chamber. Allow people the freedom to say anything in public, and let their ideas be tested in the light of open discourse. I’d rather nazis say their shit out loud so that they can be identified, and duly ridiculed. Impressionable people can watch and see how the nazi gets shat on in public.

    Most importantly, freedom of speech must be universally applied, without exception, to prevent both the uprising of shitty ideas and the suppression of good ideas.
