#Latin History For Morons

[personal-blog243]

When you Google the blue beetle movie and find it references history you didn’t know 😳

Civilizações foram destruídas, como hoje destroem os nossos ÍNDIOS.

Se você acha que tem amigos nos países mais ricos do mundo...você é o idiota. Eles ficaram ricos, matando e usurpando.

Quando puderem, assistam em suas línguas (português e espanhol) o stand-up “Latin History for Morons” ou mais apropriadamente, “América Latina para Imbecis” no Netflix. E a História é muito pior. Leguizamo foi até leve. A história das conquistas mostra que a tabela EUA ,Reino Unido e UE têm um pensamento colonialista ( hoje, neocolonialismo) que nunca acabou. É um ranço que não há sabão que tire. É chegar, enganar, usurpar e explorar.

De firma simplificada e irônica, a representação teatral dada em uma ‘sala de aula’, não mostra nada diferente, mas relembra o que fizeram com os seus próprios índios e fazem com os latinos, inclusive os brasileiros, há anos, e ainda estão fazendo como ficou pública o apoio à Bolsonaro e a destruição para o fim fos nossos índios hoje. Com que interesse? Território, riquezas minerais, poder e dinheiro. Mais que isso, O CONTROLE.

A mesma violência para intimidar, exterminar para usurpar.

No entanto..mundialmente, vemos que isso está para mudar. Não é mais possível fechar os olhos para o que acontece em todo o mundo por causa dessas interferências na vida social, cultural e política dos outros.

Critical Rage Theory: If you put a roll of toilet paper on a table and tell someone that it is more similar to the “original” Bible than our current “book” is, they will think you are joking. You will not be.

The original form of the text was without vowels, titles, chapters or verses, and written on lord knows what.

Kinda like thriginlfrmfthtxtwswthtvwlsttlschptrsrvrssndwrttnnlrdknwswht…

The parchment (made from animal skins) scrolls that we have access to are generations later than the original manuscripts.

The verses in the “bible” were introduced pretty much arbitrarily, sometimes subverting the intended meaning or completely changing it. The verses and chapter divisions were supposedly introduced so you could find shit more easily in a block of text. Unfortunately, in the eyes and minds of modern cultists, it also introduced a level of organization and specification that is now attributed to divine will!

That citizens of the USA are addicted to an “english” version of a Hebrew and Greek text that has been modified and paraphrased to suit a specific religious cult at a certain time in white history is hilarious. That cult is the Church of England, an almost defunct sect of weirdos who are used-to-be Catholics who were turned into not-catholic-anymore by the stiffening of a Royal Penis that was disapproved of by the Rock Star of the Catholic cult, The POPE, whose occasionally stiffening penis was nobody’s business but his imaginary friends, the Father, Son, and little miss “I’m a good girl, I am!”

The “Bible” doesn’t really exist. It is a BOOK edition of a pile of crumbling scrolls. The scrolls were collections of hand-scribbled consonants without vowels, word divisions, verse divisions, chapters, or reliably attributable authors on lengths of animal skin. And that was just the Hebrew! The Greek texts were also fun, being backwards or zig-zaggy, using abbreviations or local slang… and suffering from it’s own Cursive version…

If you handed a BOOK to Jesus, would he know what to do with it?

What is a BOOK? It is a technological innovation. You can access any portion of it at once. With a scroll, you have open it and gently, um, “scroll” your way through the text. A BOOK is easily stored, easily transported, relatively protected from weather and damp, has it’s name on the spine and can be shelved or stacked or shoved in a pocket.

We are told that BOOKS were invented to accommodate the Gospels. This would have been a tremendous surprise to the Chinese and Koreans who invented books and printing long before Christians were invented!

Also, the characters the words of the Old (!) and New (?) Testament were scrawled in are not directly translatable to the English alphabet. Transliteration and translation are not the same thing. Some paraphrasing is going to occur. Some GUESSING is going to occur!

Not Only That, But:

The alphabet that English reading people use has changed since the KJV was published in 1611. Thus, the text has been changed to accommodate this. The letter “j” fer’instance, is the youngest character in the English alphabet. Hello, Nurse!

So, that means all the words and names in the “Bible” BOOK that have a “j” in them used to HAVE ANOTHER LETTER! I, Y, H… And those are just the Greek versions of Aramaic names… Wait ‘til we get to the LATIN versions of everything, some of which slopped over into the German, French, and Spanish translations of the “bible” of today.

The mental bean bags who tell you that the square chunk of paper wrapped in leather that they call a “bible”, is in that form because their imaginary friend chose to “inspire” men to create that form, need to be encouraged to use their imagination more creatively than the morons they are plagiarizing. The ultimate “blasphemy” is being boring. Boring is ugly. Jesus don’t like ugly!

Alice in a Wild West Wonderland: despre „The English” (2022) ****

Miniseria de 6 episoade „The English” e a depressed onion cutting itself (vorba lui Bo Burnham): în primul episod, ai senzația că impunătorul Ciarán Hinds – care tocmai a capturat-o pe protagonistă – e the big bad wolf. Și te pregătești să-i vezi urmărindu-se reciproc și confruntându-se la final, în praful de pe strada principală a vreunui orășel local, în timp ce prin fundal se rostogolește un tumbleweed.

De fapt, povestea zguduitoare își dezvelește treptat straturile usturătoare (cu multe pendulări temporale) și îți arată că antagonistul nu e cine credeai, că ne poate uni ceva puternic și de nezdruncinat (oricâte diferențe există între noi) și că tinerele Statele Unite erau ca un adolescent permanent excitat, care refula în violență manifestată plenar, de aceea Vestul Sălbatic era fix așa – dezumanizat și plin de sălbăticie umană.

Pe scurt, în 1890, Lady Cornelia Locke (Emily Blunt) traversează oceanul și ajunge pe pământ american, în căutarea bărbatului care i-a ucis copilul. Aici dă peste o majoritate masculină abuzivă, pusă pe violuri, jafuri și omoruri și e implicată într-o dublă salvare la mustață, alături de Sergentul Eli Whipp a.k.a. Wounded Wolf (Chaske Spencer). Acesta e un Pawnee care a fost soldat în cavaleria americană, în Războaiele Indiene, purtate de Statele Unite împotriva triburilor de Sioux, Cheyenne și Comanche.

Eroina noastră – care ascunde a huuuuge secret – e perfect convinsă că va triumfa și că e protejată de spiritul copilului pierdut. În timp ce Whipp vrea doar o bucată de pământ, pe care să planteze ceva și să trăiască în liniște, iar englezoaica aparent neajutorată e o povară pe care n-ar prea vrea să o care... Bildungsromanul care urmează e o călătorie inițiatică în masacrarea sistematică a amerindienilor și a faunei locale, de-a lungul căreia apar figuri de coșmar, un șerif local care se crede insistent un detectiv modern, scalpuri de ameridieni expuse pe pereți (și nu numai) și peisaje de vis – filmările au avut loc în zone din Spania unde, pe vremuri, Sergio Leone filma celebrele lui „spaghetti westerns”. Finalul este glorios și devastator,niar „The English” e clar o capodoperă, care se întreabă dacă și cum îți poți păstra umanitatea, într-un mediu inuman...?

FIY, pentru lămuri clare apropo de cât de mulți amerindieni au luptat și murit în războaiele americane (cel de independență, cel de secesiune, ambele conflicte mondiale și în Vietnam) și cât de distrugător a fost genocidul lor, de la conchistadori încoace, recomand spectacolul de pe Broadway „John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons” (2018)! E o lecție de istorie muuuuult mai utilă decât ce-am învățat la școală, care te face să înțelegi de ce amerindienii n-au avut nicio șansă în fața bolilor venerice ale britanicilor, spaniolilor, francezilor și olandezilor – nații pe care le admirăm plenar în city break-uri, întrebându-ne de ce România nu arată la fel. USA, the greatest country in the world... my ass!

What the fuck do you think the word Indigenous means? Please watch John Leguizamo Presents Latin History for Morons. DNA testing has proven that Native American tribes and Indigenous Latin American people share DNA, because it’s a fucking CONTINENT, and they all shared it before our colonizer asses showed up and took everything from them.

Everyone say thank you american indigenous people for cultivating corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes, cacao, pumpkin, squash, and anything i missed. Makes life more meaningful globally

Wait, wait, "And then you go on say 'we', by which you mean gentiles, 'must be wary' of jews (red flag) who use Zionism- the understanding that our homeland is the levant- as 'a shield' against 'antisemitism' (red flag)"

I meant Nazis you moron! Nazis use Zionism as a shield to hide their antisemitism! Oh my god. Are you troll or you cannot read? And "we" was everyone, but sure, go off

Oh my god, and this is someone who clearly needs to learn the history of Liberia (you guys should look into it, it's very revealing)

Oh and since we're ranting, gotta love people trying to claim that because Israel is racially diverse it's not an ethnostate; like first off let's ignore the racism against black Jews in Israel, and then remember and I'm Latina so I know race and ethnicity aren't the same, like you can be white and Latinx, you can be black and Latine, you can be Asian and Latinx; so racial diversity doesn't change the fact that Israel is based on Jewish ethnic identity.

Shit, forget what I just said! They do mention Latin America! So they don't know who they're talking to; and what is this bullshit? "Does the state religion and mostly latino makup of every south american country, formed from actual imperial colonialism make them catholic ethnostates?" "mostly latino makeup"? What the hell is "latinx make up"? Like, being vaguely brown? a Mestizx? Mestizxs look like anything because genetics are funny like that! Like the triplets from Encanto, one is super white and red head, and the other 2 are notably brown and that's totally realistic (maybe not with triplets, but siblings); holy shit what the hell are you talking. And by the way, no country in South America has a state religion, some like Argentina and Peru recognize the Catholic Church's as important, but it's not the state's religion; the only country in America with a State Religion is Costa Rica (where I happen to be from, yay), which is in Central America (well, Dominican Republic, also in Central America, has Catholicism as "official religion", but no state church); and even here with our State Religion, the discrimination is de-facto not legal, you can't legally deny citizenship to someone based on their religion, and you can't legally give different rights to people based on their religion or ethnicity; which isn't the case in Israel.

The next part of this dumbass post is more "I don't know about Liberia" nonsense.

"'ancient' arab palestinians never existed" what?; it's KGB propaganda, apparently; and anyway, I don't give a fuck about "ancient", nobody cares about ancient, only Zionists trying to justify the oppression of the Palestinians care about ancient peoples; we care about the Palestinian people who currently live there as second class citizens and the Palestinian people who were already there 70 years ago and got ethnically cleanse; that's it, nobody care about ancient fucking times

"fact free opinions" that's why it's called a "rant" dumbass. And I never said that most Jews I run into are Zionists, that's projecting. Most Jews I run into here are normal, it's just that I have twice provoked the Zionists accidentally; but that's okay, I blocked everyone so it's not gonna happen again

John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons (2018)

I saw the trailer thanks to Netflix's auto play, (I may gripe about it but I think it did good by me a few times). And the title caught my eye.

I think it wasn't exactly what I expected, perhaps not being familiar with John Leguazamo's work outside of movies made me unprepared. What I was expecting was more like the last 30 minutes of the show, more about the American history that involves Latinos. Instead it's this story of trying to get his son to see there is so much more to everyone's history, and to grow from that. And that ended up being about an hour of Aztec and Inca history.

I think there was a few beautiful moments when discussing how this lack of perspective in history harms us, I could have done without the voices and personalities he used (he relies on stereotypes, its pretty lazy and not funny now and days, really he could have left it out since it doesn’t add anything to his main point). But that's what he uses as the comedy in the performance. Basically I wasn't big on his performance art, but I do think there is something big he’s on to. This is like the appetizer to hopefully get you to want to learn more on your own. I even wrote down the books he mentioned. A People's history of the United States by Howard Zinn, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent by Eduardo Galeano, and 1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. Mann.

This was such a strange thing, it's like part ted talk, part, performance art, part comedy special, part something. Even though I didn't get what I wanted, it does inspire me to go do my own research.

This is so important because I remember John Jeguizamo saying on his special 'Latin History for Morons' that; "when you don't see yourself, you feel fucking invisible." And that's the pain and sadness all POC have felt not just in media, but in their daily lives. This is why it's important.

I am so ready for the gatwa era

[sudaca-swag]

I'm going to beg all of you not to watch "Latin history for morons" in every post bc seriously...... It's the worst and it's not latin american approved, it's the Lele pons of history

[gringoslur]

I just saw the trailer of latin america for morons, and it's?? So disrespectful? Why netflix even allow that?

i just watch it too and oh my god,,,,,,,anyways! new theory:

John Leguizamo is the male version of Lele Pons: they are both “latines” making content of their “latinidad” but only for ignorant gringos

[emotionallyunstablegamer]

(240) What a cutie pie who loves his son and also good at being funny and informative. c: I learned things.
