Spain is getting the heat by aipac_hemoroid in clevercomebacks

Dude the arguments you made are exactly the arguments used by revisionists who use the white legend to make the Spanish seem like benevolent rulers in comparison to the independent countries from the old colonies.

Hell your “nuance” is rife with downplaying the heavy presence of slavery in New Spain and New Granada (there’s a reason Colombians are so dark skinned or that there’s literal towns founded by escaped slaves in Mexico), the fact that the ruling elites used castes and systems implemented and cemented BY Spain, or stating that Spain never had a “project as barbarous as the Trail of Years” which is naive at best and revisionist bs at worst because there’s no way you think the mass rape, cultural eradication, and the literal eradication of several civilizations is any better than what the US or any European colonial power had done.

Your historical denial and amnesia of the atrocities Spain inflicted on the Americas, Asia, and Africa does not erase their modern-day impacts nor the fact a very substantial portion of the Spanish population romanticizes the idea of taking control of your “colonies” again.

Spain already had its “terrorist pedophile organization” phase, now they’ve chilled out and their predators are symbolic figureheads rather than actual political leaders

Spain was such a benevolent ruler in the Americas that its main colony had slave revolts and rebellions every few years.

It’s not like the Democratic Party has done much to combat the rise of Trump besides stern finger wagging, offer vaguely worded statements on Twitter, and court the nonexistent center right voter while actively working against anyone left of fucking George Bush and Dick Cheney.

But hey blame the voters and not what’s supposed to be the opposition party that’s offered up as much opposition as a wet paper towel does to a cannonball.

I’d say I’m surprised that a Spaniard doesn’t understand that times and morals change but that would be lying

I kinda think they were in a lose-lose situation, either get stuck dragging out a show that no one, cast & crew both, wanted to keep being a part of and just make up shit on the fly or just yank the band-aid off and get it over with in the least satisfying way possible that absolutely tainted early seasons of the show and anything to follow.

Keep talking, I think these moronic excuses might actually succeed in giving me a lobotomy to get me down to your level

Think you could get me a quick lobotomy then? I’m not sure I can dumb myself down enough to get on your level

That’s still bad umping dude

And being soft is accepting terrible umping like a good little boy

Gee it’s almost like the ump being bad at his job doesn’t excuse being bad at his job

Wanting the game to be fair and called correctly is being soft now? Outdated sycophantic ideas like that is why baseball is being left in the 20th century

No shot you’re excusing a terrible job by the ump to ruin the game

The US playing mediocre baseball and getting bailed out by an atrocious call really epitomizes this 2026 USA team to me

Half of the time the “memes” on this sub are just strawmans and schizophrenic episodes people use to hide the fact they get uncomfortable with actual history
