borders between countries aren't real btw we just made them up. there's no such thing as an "immigrant" we're all just people moving around on the same planet that we've always moved around on

So rn the US government is starting to defund the National Parks Service, and while this is a bad thing largely because it's mainly being done to open up the possibility of oil drilling in a lot of those areas, I think it also needs to be said that no the National Parks Service was not just there to "protect natural wonders" or whatever. It was there because a lot of those places are incredibly important land to a lot of Indigenous Peoples and if you give it special status that means you can't live on it you can make the natives leave easier because they get arrested if they don't. Like I am very much not in favor of this change as it is being done but I don't think we should respond to it with wholehearted praise of the National Parks System either. Please know the history of the land you live on and visit.

scientists in the 1990s, putting a Get More Purple gene attached to a harmless plant virus into an already purple petunia: please get more purple
the petunia, sensing an apparent honest to god Get More Purple Disease, using the previously undiscovered RNAi antiviral ability to shut down all other purple genes along with it just in case: you put VIRUS in petunia? you infect her with the More Purple?? oh! oh! her children shall bloom white! jail for mother, jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!

genuine question why would the US be an example for democracies anywhere in the world asides from propaganda you've been fed, you've got the worst voting system, an INDIRECT voting system ("representative"), you didn't invent democracy you took some fucked up feudal system and slapped the name democracy on it because you don't even have a real democracy! You weren't the first country to gain independence from Europe by any means, you weren't the first one to grant equal rights to women or POC and also you failed catastrophically at it when you supposedly did because the only place where something like Jim Crow happened was apartheid south africa, you never had any sort of welfare state, you never had any sort of robust public system for anything, so what is it that you're bringing to the international table? you aren't the moral police you aren't the paragon of anything
