      It’s like doing a startup with some guy you met through friends but all his progress updates are emails about how he tortured and killed entire neighborhoods because they didn’t refer a friend to the app.

    “He dared to brave the waters that his cotemporaries dare not to” yeah because they actually did the math and tried to warn him that no circling the earth just to reach India would be too far of a distance to reach safely.

    Columbus is just the perfect hero for amerikkka because he keeps failing upwards.

      It makes a lot more sense when you evaluate that basic thought through the lens of white supremacy, they don’t consider nonwhite people as human

    Honestly why not just appease all the viking fans and put up a statue of Leif the Lucky.

    Hell that might make 'em all shut the fuck up as the bicker amongst themselves over whether vikins or Italians are more based or some shit

    Edit: what the fuck Trump don’t steal our bits

      I’ll follow this up and say we need to pay respect to real Italian and Italian American heroes like Sacco, Vanzetti, Cacchione and Marcantonio.

    “Respect is earned, not owed” mfs really change their tune when they think a brown person isn’t sufficiently worshipping a white man who hates the former.

    Love the implication that natives aren’t part of humanity.

    He deserves thanks for agreeing to take a long-overdue step to preserve the explorer’s central place in American history and Italian American identity.

    Idk put up statues of Tony Sopranos
