I will say that this being exposed is a good thing if Dems and leftists will have the spine to actually call out the GOP as racist. No better time to tell the truth than now.

Dune is a racist, colonial novel; Herbert has a certain amount of self-awareness and some anticolonial commitments, but his love of pulp betrays him and I think in that respect the novel is largely a failure.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 2d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.
