Yea I'm very transparent about it@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl open about using an image of a man responsible for the deaths of over 3 million people? Have you fully thought out the implications here ?

@RedKoba @quixoticgeek @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl Here's the thing - I'm reminded of when in French class, a bit of English speaking students would look up words in French that were curse words in English for fun.
But this isn't that - this is you randomly dropping out of English into your native language...for a worse reason.

To be honest I didn't know that "negros" was offensive to english speaking ppl, I already know about the other "N word". But I remember Malcom X or MLK using it.I wanted to atack in previous toots but this was not the case

@RedKoba @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl you're not writing in Spanish tho. You're writing very offensive English.
@quixoticgeek @TwoClownsEating @michaelgemar @amydiehl As a fellow Spanish speaker: we do not claim this asshole.
While he's right that it's a normal word in Spanish for the color, anyone with a basic level of English literacy understands the implications it has outside of it and would refrain from its use unless it's _very_ justified.
Hell, even in Spanish it can have some racist connotations. Its use by this individual was very deliberate and has earned him a block.

@amydiehl welp, there's another reason to stop going to Starbucks. I normally don't, except as a treat or on a long drive, but this makes me want to take it further off the list. Stupid corporations playing stupid games... ugh.

No arguments Sir? Poor victim of propaganda@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl so how many deaths is it ok for a nations leader to be responsible for? Might I suggest the number should ideally be zero. Capital punishment is bad. Genocide is bad. It's 2026, I can't believe I'm having to say this.

@amydiehl The best time for Starbucks' workers to join a union was years ago. The second best time is now.

@amydiehl I was only once persuaded by family to join them in a Starbucks. I asked for a small, plain black coffee. I was told we have only large. I asked how big is 'large', and was duly shown the cup. I said 'I will not drink out of a piss pot' turned around and left, with the family reluctantly behind me.
The family have never forgiven me.
Starbucks? I couldn't care less. -

I love Wikipedia, but that calculation includes things like dekulakisation, which was a man-made starvation caused by landlords preferring to let people starve to death rather than lose their wealth.Wikipedia is good source but not bulletproof

"Smile-More" forced labor.
Starbucks is wunna those things most humans have determined should exist no matter how much they profess to hate going in every. Fucking. Day. Sometimes thrice.
They can absolutely be closed for good by the same people.
Coffee tastes better when you support a local business.
Starbucks cups make your hand look like it's holding a politician's dick to me. No matter what's written on them. -

@RedKoba @tml @monokeros @ianto_jones @michaelgemar @amydiehl it's all on Stalin's balance sheet. He killed millions. This is the popular consensus of historians. I would suggest it's time to find a better roll model. Maybe one who's not considered a genocidal dictator.
