Heartwarming story: Little girl doesn’t have to do anything to fund her dad’s surgery because his expenses are covered by his country’s universal healthcare.

Human determination: Man bikes 18 miles to work every morning because he wants to and not because he can’t afford a car and would be fired if he’s late.

Spirit of Brotherhood: Neighbors host housewarming party for elderly resident who doesn’t need help in paying rent because his pension is more than enough.

SO INSPIRING: Local middle school students bake dozens of cupcakes because their home economics class is doing a baking unit. Their school is fully funded with everything they need.

the guy who designed scythes definitely knew that shit was badass. he didnt care about wheat

hey girl you’re so. the papery substance they put between the slices of packaged cheese so they don’t stick together

Smooth? Fragile? Unaffected? Translucent? Well-suited to a function? Purposeful? Disposable? The implications. This is poetry

I was thinking more “something I didn’t appreciate enough at the time but I sorely miss when it’s gone oh god oh shit the cheese is crumbling apart and a mess and was worth at least six dollars why would they discontinue the cheese liner design anyway”

POETRYYY

Damn that’s crazy. It’s a good thing America doesnt do anything like th—

Like they literally just described an extremely well known pastime that hundreds of thousands of Americans take part in every year— except it’s evil propaganda because the Chinese are doing it. Arlington National Cemetery is where our president goes every Memorial Day to wax poetic about how every American soldier ever died for perfectly just and heroic reasons. Civil War re-enactments are huge deals in the south especially. All across New England there are whole historic towns full of museums to remind us how the founding of our country was the greatest thing ever done. There are gold rush towns in California that celebrate the great westward expansion with little to no mention of the native tribes that were massacred in the process.

If you don’t think the American government has a vested interest in demonizing China, you need to pay more attention to what exactly they’re saying.

We literally make every public school child in the U.S. put their hands over their hearts and pledge allegiance to the United States of America lmfao.

As someone who was raised on the rev war reenacting circuit, I can tell you that reenacting is heavy on the propaganda. My family got involved because my mom figured it was a living history thing and with two autistic kids obsessed with history, it might be a fun summer activity to keep us busy and educated during the summers. While there was a lot of interesting education and people who were in it out of a genuine love for historical clothing and skill learning, it is a hobby that is 90% wealthy white men who are incredibly conservative. There are also military recruiters who cruise the events.

I am aware of at least 5 gun control bills that didn't get passed because they would have interfered with reenactments because they would have reclassified historical weapons and required permits and courses to own and use them like other types of guns, and reenactors didn't want to have to get permits or get rid of their private collections of historical replica weapons. This was mostly because reenactments are LOUD- even without modern ammunition, musket fire makes a lot of noise, and many of these events were commentated so people watching the battles could understand what was going on. I was 8 the last time I went to a reenactment, and I got tinnitus shortly after starting. In addition to the noise, black powder and paper cartridges puts a LOT of smoke into the air. People get drunk and disorderly at the campsites after hours.

These guys used to brag that they had 'the liberals in their pockets' because if anyone came to them about the guns they could say they were Preserving History, and guilt people into backing down about it. Most of the time it worked. We were hauled out to pose for photos at military cemeteries. As an archaeologist, that pisses me off so much. Living history events are a good way of learning, but they are propaganda. Anything the USA can do to fuel patriotic fervor and make people feel connected to what 'being American' feels like, they will do.

The photos below are from some of the events that I went to as one of my last reenactments. I don't remember a lot, but I remember that the most popular event was lining up all the kids and teaching them how to 'shoot' with wooden guns, and telling them how we were "already serving our nation". I love history, but it's infuriating to see that once again our country is calling China out for propaganda when the United States is one of the biggest propaganda machines on earth.

^ and yeah, that's me. even back then i wasn't too excited about the whole situation.
