Emiliano Zapata Salazar, born on this day in 1879, was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution, the main leader of the peasant revolution in the state of Morelos, and the inspiration of the agrarian movement called Zapatismo.
Zapata was born in the rural village of Anenecuilco in Morelos State, where peasant communities were under increasing pressure from the small landowning class who monopolized land and water resources for sugar cane production with the support of dictator Porfirio Díaz.
Early on, Zapata participated in political movements against Diaz and the landowning hacendados. When revolution broke out in 1910, he was positioned as a central leader of the peasant revolt in Morelos. Zapata was responsible for defeating and ousting various invading armies from Morelos on multiple occasions.
On April 10th, 1919, Zapata was assassinated, double-crossed by a member of the Mexican Army who had pretended to switch sides. When Zapata attempted to meet with the would-be defector, he was shot to death.
“It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.”
- Emiliano Zapata

It’s so weird to see like the same 10 conversations repeated ad infinitum on Reddit. It honestly does feel like it’s botted
Dont worry, we will get that here. I can already see the daily China bad struggle session, the daily Vaush thread and the daily AOC struggle session.
We need to adopt @black_mold_futures posting style to keep things spicy.
“The PMC class traitors of my elementary school would have you believe reddit’s lie of big league chew being excellent gum.”
I’m pretty sure if you’re posting in a place like this, then that background check is 100% gonna flag you as a political liability. and even if they don’t, the CIA is objectively the foremost terrorist organisation in the world who all deserve to die horrific deaths
Idk how you are irl, but usually it’s difficult to hide your politics and you can only do so much. Consequrnyly it’s actually so funny a former cia guy tried to recruit you. No wonder basically every person they tried to embed in the Soviet Union got domed.
If you don’t mind the scrutiny of a background investigation and lie detector test, I say why not? I doubt one could get through that considering OSI got a genzedong poster fired from aerospace. Unless they want a patsy
Tbf from what I remember of the thread on it, someone went through their post history and found them divulging details about what type of project they were on, who their firm had worked for in the past, etc… sounds like all the feds would have needed was the IP connected to the account (assuming they didn’t also leak enough unique personal details) to figure out exactly who they were. Could have been a random fash who first tipped the feds off.
Guess who almost forgot they had a paid gig in an hour and a half?
:big-cool:
Sure hope all the batteries are charged and I didnt forget something exceedingly crucial
my last show was our first one back since covid and pretty big, when we were setting up I realized I had left the power adapter to my drummers head phone amp at my studio smh.
luckily one of the backline bands had a personal mixer and we just plugged into that phew.
Zapata’s assasination is such an anticlimatic end fuck
which I do find to be really dumb when you look at Zapata and his actual politics and actions. frankly, he didn’t give much of a shit about running Mexico, he wanted land, justice, and the rights of the native villages to be respected. he almost entirely fought the entire war in Morelos, and not because he had no change to break out but because his entire campaign was about Morelos and the people there. I’m sure he had ideas for how to run Mexico, but no wish to be the guy to carry them out
they way they got him was so dirty too. he was invited into a compound by the army leader who was then like oh Zapata please let us honour you with a gun salute. at which point they aimed the guns at him and shot. real cowardly shit from a man they never would have beaten in open battle
Loving the 4 day old account that’s deeply concerned about tankies.
