  • If you’re confused about the 2010s part let me clarify:

    This was roughly the time I was beginning to understand that what the US pretends to be and what the US actually is were two different things. I was still a pro-intervention radical liberal but I was mad we were invading countries for oil instead of overthrowing dictatorships to liberate people. I wanted the propaganda to match the reality and it wasn’t until I learned that was impossible that I really began moving through the pipeline to actual Leftism.



  • Mentioned famous mutinies and didn’t even talk about the Potemkin smh.

    But seriously, it makes sense when you consider the conditions sailors are often in: stuck on wood/steel boxes in the middle of nowhere for weeks to months to even years at a time with nothing but ocean for miles around. Humans are land creatures and it’s where we belong; we’ll never really get used to life at sea or in space or wherever - we just learn how to tolerate it and only up to a certain point.

    It makes sense that mutinies at sea are fairly common throughout history.
