Get canceled, buddy.
you know who else also likes giant ladies?
giant lady good actually
Deformations in the design of the sword also caused the movement of sheets of titanium plating, creating pitched sound of thundering metal.
Dope-ass statue and world's largest hihat.
When we establish communism in the United States they could be girlfriends :soviet-bashful:
statue of liberty good,
:amerikkka:
just fails to live up to her promises in every way possible:liberty-weeping:
freedom from colonial powers, abolition of slavery, open immigration...
all good things the statue is meant to symbolize and commemorate, and all things which the u.s fails to make reality.
because the libs dont believe in those things.
no?
yes i get the joke about "statue of :LIB:erty" but meh, its a good statue, and its explicit message contrasts the dystopian hellscape of the reality in the u.s really well
What if we were giant statues representing our commitment to defending our values and our comrades... and we kissed... and we're both girls 😳
holy jeez I have never seen this before but it is absolutely fantastic

fuck these buffalo, fuck this bear, fuck these indians, let's plow the shit out of this
how is this not the introduction to every discussion of the dust bowl
I remember seeing this image in a middle school or high school history textbook. My teacher made some shitty comment about how what it represented could be argued as a good or bad thing, rather than being an explicitly bad thing and a genocide
Yep, that's where I first saw this too. I really don't remember any serious discussions about the implications of this painting either. Manifest Destiny was just something that "happened"
I have a vivid memory of the first time I realized that one man's Manifest Destiny is another man's Lebensraum. My head pretty much exploded.
Me at my five minutes on the open mic:
Hey, what's the difference between lebensraum and manifest destiny? In one business interests and the state colluded to form a genocidal white supremacist empire to conquer a large swath of productive land to solidify their control of capital and in the other everyone spoke German. jazz hands
Hitler exploded a lot of heads when he figured that out too (including ultimately his own, lol!)
From my experience, it is. Every US history class I've ever taken, even the ones taught by chuds, has talked about American Progress. It's one of the most famous American paintings ever made.
I went to an evangelical Christian highschool and even they were like "yeah, this is a bit much"
Why "even"? If anything, chuds absolutely love whitewashing American history.
There needs to be a reverse version with a withered old Columbia running away.
Just want a 12 foot tall lady to crush my throat between her thumb and fore finger :panting:
I like Hexbear's valiant ancestor roaring angrily in the lower left corner.
