Did you know that #Native #Americans showed up the #Victorian Brits with their #swimming ability?
In 1844, a #British swimming competition had two #indigenous #athletes (’Flying Gull’ & ‘Tobacco’) join.
‘Flying Gull’ swam the 40m length pool in just 30 sec & won.
The front crawl he used was unknown to the #Europeans.
The stroke was swiftly deemed barbaric & unrefined by the press & the Brits refused to do anything but breaststroke (& later sidestroke) until 1873.

When you learn the shit #Belgium and other #Europeans were upto in the #Congo and the rest of #Africa you left to wonder, how do they feel entitled to preach and talk down to others? 🤔 their humanity and values are all for show and political agenda

#Tories plan to cut us from #Europe continues with a clampdown on #schooltrips from the continent;
A byzantine process of clearing visa for visiting school children means trips are becoming impossible due to random & non-sensical refusals of visas to some (or all) students for reasons inconsistent with the the information provided.
Its like they want to ensure our young people do not get to meet #Europeans, as a way of inoculating them from any possible desire to rejoin the EU?

That #Indigenous #Americans lived in generally #FreeSocieties –and that #Europeans did not– was not really a matter of debate in these [first contact] exchanges; both sides agreed this was the case. What they differed on, was whether #Individual #Liberty was desirable.

"#Europeans, we will always break you", says #Solovyev, adding that #Russia won two wars - WWII and Napoleonic.
He conveniently forgets that both of them Russia won as part of coalitions - #propagandists even discussed that before..

I use mas.to When I joined it was 90% #Asian teens tooting about #anime and lunch. Rest was mainly #Europeans tooting about random stuff not #anglophone. Low impact. Bliss.
#Twitter implodes. Now my feed is maybe 60% #USA users. It's USA everything. Tense. Some guy mentions #Tumblr entering #fediverse to cash-in. Fuck!
#Capitalists will try to raid popular instances so I will keep jumping to new places to escape them, even host my own.
Instances = choice. Yeah!

> European leaders sat down in Berlin and divided Africa like real estate. They drew country borders through people's houses. They created states, not for Africans' benefit, but to limit conflicts among Europeans.
To think #Africa still has to suffer from borders drawn by the #Europeans in the 19th century
