    It was the moment that savage stingray killed Steve Irwin.

      If only Steve Irwin didn’t go to that lake that day in 2006. RIP Steve Irwin.

    Theory: the death of Harambe was the moment that an entire cohort realized that the world is a deeply unfair place. So Harambe represents when their innocent internal world fell apart. I.e., they were young at the time.

    The evils of the AmeriKKKan empire vastly predate poor Harambe’s death. It’s been a white supremacist, settler-colonialist, patriarchal capitalist project from the very moment white people landed here.

      I don’t wanna sound like one of those “you said we should improve society, yet you live in it”. That said, you can say what you can say about the US (since you got the First Amendment), but how can say that yet you live in the US? Are you aware of the irony of living in the US in order to decry the country?

      This, but instead of your rant against the US, just humans in general. Every country has those kinds of people that would be/enable evil. The only difference is that that in different places their evilness is allowed in different amounts/representation.

        rant against the US

        You call that a rant? This is a rant! 😆

        The only difference is that that in different places their evilness is allowed in different amounts/representation.

        Yes exactly. AmeriKKKa in particular allows for the maximal evil as a function of the maximal ignorance our privilege buys us. There are privileged people in every country, but AmeriKKKa has a culture which disproportionately exalts the characteristics of privilege, in particular our ability to be ignorant. In short: AmeriKKKa has a bourgeois culture.

        Like if AmeriKKKan settlers acted even a fraction as ignorant and uncurious as we do in the global South, we would all end up in nameless fucking graves as deaths by ignorance of the world we live in.

        It’s really not, it’s only like a fraction of a second of introspection, but AmeriKKKan settlers are so uncurious and shallow that everything needs to be spoon-fed to them.

    I personally think things took a turn after whatever dark forces the Chicago Cubs contracted with to evade their righteous and longstanding curse, but I guess the Harambe thing happened “first”.

    The world would be better off if Hillary Clinton had been more ethical and less open to October surprises, but not by much. Dems are okay with poverty, genocide, and war too.

      Dems and Republicans are two sides of the same coin. Two faced. The amount of democrats that continue to support aid to Israel is evident that the two party system is entirely corrupt.
