pizza is "miscegenated" (hideous word) by default, if one were to go off of the ridiculous logic of this extremely tortured and racist analogy.

like let's break this meme down according to its own awful ideas. What is a pizza? It's not a whole food like a pineapple, which is the only "racially pure" food in this picture. Pizza is the highly processed and mixed food resulting from the fermentation of yeast into dough, from the fermentation of milk into cheese, from the addition of a whole assortment of toppings ranging from fungus to vegetables to fruits to meats, to even other kinds of cheese like feta. Along comes a pineapple which "marries" a slice of pizza and "gives birth" to a.... melted piece of pizza? Ah! But it's topped with pineapple. that's the problem. The child is covered in the gore of one of its parents. That is what being mixed race is. I am very intelligent. very-intelligent

This isn't a fake quote from franklin by the way. he really said this shit in a pamphlet titled "Observations Concerning the Increasing of Mankind, Peopling of Countries." You can find it online in PDF form.

Racism, immigration, warmongering, support for police brutality - whatever that used to be the pillars of the Republican platform, the Democrats are doing them so much better and the libs are cheerfully clapping for “four more years!

they're just retvrning to their dixiecrat roots. this is the limitations of having a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. neither party will ever be anything but reactionary, but they will both trade places with each other being the more reactionary party, the "bad cop" so to speak. just so everyone's wires get crossed every 60 years or so. All cops are bastards, but whenever you have two of them, one of them can play the bad cop.

I don't want to speak for him, but I think what garbagio is getting at is that the USA is a settler colony and nobody who lives here except indigenous people has a real attachment to the land that goes back further than 532 years, and the USA itself is not even half that age. Though I'm inclined to point out that the USA a very powerful civic religion, that people believe in very deeply and that this helps substitute for the lack of a real long history. You don't really need to be a "real" country like Russia with a 1000+ year history to be attached to your country and patriotic. Nationalism is cultivated through indoctrination into an established culture and civic tradition, not through having real indigenous roots in the land. After all, many places in the world have been conquered over and over and none of the original inhabitants remain.

Excerpt of Condition of the Working Class in England, by Engels, 1845

from the section titled "The Attitude of the Bourgeoisie Towards the Proletariat"

[some sarcasm throughout from Engels, for those who find difficulty noticing it in text]

Let no one believe, however, that the "cultivated" Englishman openly brags with his egotism. On the contrary, he conceals it under the vilest hypocrisy. What? The wealthy English fail to remember the poor? They who have founded philanthropic institutions, such as no other country can boast of! Philanthropic institutions forsooth! As though you rendered the proletarians a service in first sucking out their very life-blood and then practising your self-complacent, Pharisaic philanthropy upon them, placing yourselves before the world as mighty benefactors of humanity when you give back to the plundered victims the hundredth part of what belongs to them! Charity which degrades him who gives more than him who takes; charity which treads the downtrodden still deeper in the dust, which demands that the degraded, the pariah cast out by society, shall first surrender the last that remains to him, his very claim to manhood, shall first beg for mercy before your mercy deigns to press, in the shape of an alms, the brand of degradation upon his brow. But let us hear the English bourgeoisie's own words. It is not yet a year since I read in the Manchester Guardian the following letter to the editor, which was published without comment as a perfectly natural, reasonable thing:

"MR. EDITOR,– For some time past our main streets are haunted by swarms of beggars, who try to awaken the pity of the passers-by in a most shameless and annoying manner, by exposing their tattered clothing, sickly aspect, and disgusting wounds and deformities. I should think that when one not only pays the poor-rate, but also contributes largely to the charitable institutions, one had done enough to earn a right to be spared such disagreeable and impertinent molestations. And why else do we pay such high rates for the maintenance of the municipal police, if they do not even protect us so far as to make it possible to go to or out of town in peace? I hope the publication of these lines in your widely- circulated paper may induce the authorities to remove this nuisance; and I remain,– Your obedient servant, "A Lady."

There you have it! The English bourgeoisie is charitable out of self-interest; it gives nothing outright, but regards its gifts as a business matter, makes a bargain with the poor, saying: "If I spend this much upon benevolent institutions, I thereby purchase the right not to be troubled any further, and you are bound thereby to stay in your dusky holes and not to irritate my tender nerves by exposing your misery. You shall despair as before, but you shall despair unseen, this I require, this I purchase with my subscription of twenty pounds for the infirmary!" It is infamous, this charity of a Christian bourgeois! And so writes "A Lady"; she does well to sign herself such, well that she has lost the courage to call herself a woman! But if the "Ladies" are such as this, what must the "Gentlemen" be? It will be said that this is a single case; but no, the foregoing letter expresses the temper of the great majority of the English bourgeoisie, or the editor would not have accepted it, and some reply would have been made to it, which I watched for in vain in the succeeding numbers. And as to the efficiency of this philanthropy, Canon Parkinson himself says that the poor are relieved much more by the poor than by the bourgeoisie; and such relief given by an honest proletarian who knows himself what it is to be hungry, for whom sharing his scanty meal is really a sacrifice, but a sacrifice borne with pleasure, such help has a wholly different ring to it from the carelessly-tossed alms of the luxurious bourgeois.
