  • Recognize what others do that you don’t do

    Admit which things are bad or not, understand why they are bad or not, and chose to not do the things that are bad

    See the distinction between others and you

    If you do things and you learn that they are bad and hurt others, work on it to understand what’s going on and make a better decision, don’t feel insulted and get mad at people telling you that something you did is hurting others

    Don’t take things personally as an attack on yourself, don’t bind your identity to a larger group

    Privateers are private individuals. Not military. They just happened to be paid by a state.

    The only distinction is for Venezuela to make. They won’t handle an act of war the same way as an act of piracy - and they shouldn’t be expected to be responsible for US internal politics, or give a shit.


  • White hair guy is from Le Vieux Bleu / Li Vi Bleu, an early title. The other two guys are with him I think. The ones you’re unsure of are correct, but all the characters traded something (hat or coat)

    The three on top left swaped hats with each other I think (top guy is an abbott, he has the tiny black hat), Luke and Benoit traded scarves, Johan and Gil traded coats, Johan is wearing Pirlouit’s hat, Libellule and Crouton traded hats, Benoit and the Smurfs, Spirou is wearing Natacha’s hat. I’m not sure what Yoko is wearing. Mickey’s ears?? And Spip is holding a bone for some reason, I’m not seeing any dog.

    1885 is way too recent. Anything past 1800 is Napoleon taking Europe, everyone’s local consequences, and then WW1. There’s a thousand and a half years of material to discuss before that even after Greece and Rome, this is only the very end and if you’re paying attention.

    You teach behavior and biases, but it’s well observed that kids naturally don’t see distinctions between groups of people until it is taught to them, and that kids do feel empathy naturally, and will feel upset about perceived injustices and such. Isolating a white kid so they don’t see a Black kid until they’re 15 is a learned thing, if they’re raised in a shared environment, they won’t see a difference. What you teach is how to act on it (like sharing), how to handle emotions about it. Restricting experience is teaching.

    History lessons are a bunch of names and dates that you have to learn by heart. We went there, we made this place, we came back with this shit, we made a church. Here’s a family tree. Even when learning about battles and borders, we don’t get to ask “why were they here? Why were we there?” We just know that we were at war because this king and that king disagreed. Sometimes, at best, one of them just wants control of this location or someone’s wife banged the wrong duke, but that’s almost only for intra European conflicts - and Jerusalem.

    Ethnic social issues came very late. Jews and other wandering populations are completely ignored.



  • The issue is with the initial search. They can only search after they have the warrant, and they allegedly made the arrest knowing they would find a gun, and then got the warrant, and then “found” the gun again.

    Even if they claim that as long as they did find the gun, it means they were right - the problem is that, had they not known about the gun, they wouldn’t have had grounds to arrest him, and therefore they wouldn’t have a conviction. That sounds fine as long as you do find a murderer, but not for everyone else they search like that with no warrant.

    Even assuming the gun was real and not planted, the legal issue is that they can’t be allowed to fish for anyone they want, even if they happen to land on the right guy - after countless other innocents. Forcing them to let an actual murderer free would, presumably, push them to think twice before violating random people’s rights.

    And after that, they have to prove somehow that the gun wasn’t planted while they had the bag and the owner couldn’t check on them.
