  • Get fucked. When someone asks you to disengage, disengage. You’re being an asshole.

    I’m sorry I don’t follow the rules of the Fae, or whichever arcane code you’re following?

    If you want to disengage, feel free to disengage. No one is forcing you to respond to me. If you want to get the last word in and then say “Disengage” thinking it’s a “Now my points can’t be responded to :3” card, feel free to go fuck yourself.



  • They’ve literally hosted international conferences this year.

    tightly restricted entry to and interaction with their territory from outsiders, with journalists only allowed to ask questions when accompanied by EZLN guards?

    You wanna point out to me where that contradicts “holding a conference”?

    I literally cannot with you people.

    Yeah, sorry that you haven’t been following anything except the endless glazing of Subcommandante Marcos. I understand that PR of the internet age is much more compelling to our generation than the staid 1950s-level PR of former ML states, but I would suggest that you learn to think for yourself nonetheless.

    Please disengage, I’m sick of the bad faith bullshit.

    “Bad faith is when I’m contradicted”

    Okay.


  • Do you have any actual objections to life under the Zapatistas, or are you just going to continue vagueposting about how it must be bad because you decided it must be?

    You do realize that the Zapatistas, before this recent trouble with “Blaming the government (that they don’t need) for not controlling the cartels” tightly restricted entry to and interaction with their territory from outsiders, with journalists only allowed to ask questions when accompanied by EZLN guards?

    There’s a long laundry-list of problems with how the Zapatistas have ‘settled in’ to their role since the turn of the century.












  • Explanation: Romans wore tunics, which generally did not reach the knees. Flexible and breathable! This includes the Roman Legions. Trousers were denigrated as ‘barbarian’, though Legions in northern areas and the later Empire would begin to wear them regularly.

    Julius Caesar’s right-hand man, Mark Antony, was noted as wearing scandalously short tunics to show off his muscular legs. Ooh la la!
