No matter how much you hate the US Empire, I don't think it's possible not to hate it more after reading Settlers.
One of the best US history books. Some links and a one line review:
J. Sakai - Settlers: the Mythology of the White Proletariat, audiobook. The most important US history book. Analyzes the US's settler-colonialist foundations, its history of genocide, exploitation, social bribery, and the spoils that went to those who willingly absorbed into whiteness and the murican dream (even if they had to kill indians to get some cheap land to do so.) Excellent and unique analysis of FDR's new deal as the bribery and absorption of the labor movement into the murican dream.
thanks for the link
Fun fact: it comes with the pugjesus recommendation "melodramatic maoist screed" and jonsjava will permaban on you on sight if it is linked
PJ and caping for settler-colonialism and fascism, name a better duo LMAO
PugJesus is the most pitiful and pathetic shut in loser I've ever interacted with online and I've been online since 1996 when I got my first ISP connection.
