Explaining his decision to travel to Venezuela for the commemoration, he said: “I was in France, preparing to return to the Congo, when I received a request to record a video for this tribute. But I didn’t hesitate—I told them I wouldn’t send a video; I would go in person. Venezuela is a country that has led a struggle similar to ours. For years, its leaders have fought for their people, just as Lumumba did to liberate the Congo from colonialism. I am certain that if Lumumba were alive today, he would be a brother to Simón Bolívar, a friend to Nasser, Nkrumah, Hugo Chávez, and all those who have dedicated their lives to justice and the liberation of their peoples.”
Okay but every time anyone posts anything historically accurate, .world goes "lies!” ffs, they’re down to denying that h Hitler was defeated because of Russia and can’t bring themselves to write the opening line of “First They Came,” as a Lutheran pastor originally wrote it. Yes, we’re not only that unaware of history, but that propagandized.
Yeah, but what do you do with that? Just give up?
You’re not going to convince everyone, but every once in a while someone will dig into it. It keeps the knowledge alive
Yes. I dug in! It’s the difference between hearing and listening, looking and seeing. Just noting that hundreth monkey is on their own timeline.
