I know it is hard for us who still think about things like capitalism so I found this handy chart (/end sarcasm)

Evergreen, and applies to this place as well

Well, that concludes the World Cup. The longest GOOOOOOOL chanted by Telemundo was that from Livano Comenencia of Curaçao during that game with Germany.

I just saw incredible footage of the King of the Netherlands dancing with Team Curacao players in the locker room

Team Curaçao continue to punch above its weight

The main square of Willemstad is named after Luis Brion. His statue is featured below. Beyond contributing to the cause of South American independence, Brion also broke a British military blockade of Curaçao and helped broker the alliance between Bolívar and Alexandre Petion of Haiti.

Curçao-Ecuador connection: Simon Bolívar himself spent time in Curaçao in 1812, and his sisters lived in an Octagon-shaped building in Willemstad that is now a Bolívar museum you can still visit today.

Still reflecting on what World Cup participation means for small and/or island countries like Curaçao, Cape Verde and Haiti. Curaçaoan social media is full of images with this statement: “Now You See Us”. Our erasure and invisibility has been shattered

The FFK players knew exactly what story this game was going to tell for Curacao.

Moments like this, Curacaoan and German players gathering for a prayer after the match, are not so surprising when you know the history of the ABC islands and its diaspora.

Tamos juntos! Long lost Lusophone cousins (Curacaoans speak Papiamentu, a Portuguese Creole)

Correct, it is this meme come to life

A lot of people prefer multiculturalism, and the premise of the tweet is ridiculous. Nobody is forcing Dale Partridge to live in a multicultural neighborhood.

We did "race communism" already in the 60s. No new material.

These decapitation strikes are also theft. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

US capitalists have been bitter about losing chattel slaves and ever since have been trying new ways to convert humanity into a natural resource, to be mined or extracted like an oil field or a mine.

The recent racialization of Minnesotans as non-white has precedent in US history. Behold an example from the WWI-era US, which includes talk about Austrians passing for white and not saying that they are Austrian, because Austrians are "black." h/t @joshuatan.bsky.social

If your mailer addressing Black folks is making me think of a KKK poster you messed up

You cannot have a Democracy if only one major political party is anti-authoritarian, until that problem is fixed—forget about having a “vital center”

Another paper showing that a lot of what statistically lies at the "center" looks like this:

Tbf to the content of the article, I think this is the point that Lander was trying to make.

I mean this bit, ironically, represents the dynamic very well. Why talk about the working class as if they are these fragile, emotionally unstable people with hurt feelings.

We are still doing this meme in 2025

In America, you can step out of your private jet to attend the January 6th Capitol insurrection, but with the right aesthetic self-presentation and/or lack of a college diploma, you get to self-identify as “working-class”:
