  • The greatest lie the Right ever told that the Left bought hook line and sinker was that they were the ones who represented America.

    The thing is, while the US has it’s horrible history and present, the people who fought for the ideals we’re supposed to have are also just as much American as any conservative asshole. MLK Jr was American. Frederick Douglass was American. John Brown was American. Mister Rogers was American. Abolitionists. Suffragists. Union fighters. People fighting for fixing the problems, righting the wrongs, holding our country accountable for it’s own ideals, are just as much a part of that flag.

    The assholes laid claim to that flag and the people who are aware of the problems, who have legitimate concerns with the bullshit this country has done and continues to do, accidentally let them.










  • “Medieval armies didn’t use crossbows when attacking castles.”

    My hand immediately shot up. “What are you talking about? Of course they did.”

    My elderly history teacher replied “no, they didn’t.”

    Me “Why do you think that?”

    Her “because crossbows fire in a straight line so they would just shoot over the castle.”

    I looked at my classmates, hoping they would see how insane this is. They were looking at me like I grew a second head.

    Me “that’s not true. At all.”

    Her, getting slightly annoyed, “how do you know?”

    Me “well for one, I’ve fired a crossbow, I know how they work. For two, they had GRAVITY BACK THEN, the bolt comes back down!”

    Her, and some of the class “ooooh!”

    Her “well anyway…” And continues the lesson.

    This was a college class.
