I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Is it bad that I think this is a fine exercise? This is a worksheet that's probably part of a bigger curriculum piece on the colonization of America. These people are so r-slurred. 5th graders are vile.
We did a whole Hammurabi's Code for the class for the day and slavery as debt repayment was absolutely one of the rules we came up with!!! We reenacted Ellis Island and they fully "papers pleased" us IRL!

It's politically incorrect by contemporary standards but I understand what they're getting at. It's trying to encourage perspective-taking to establish a more well-rounded understanding of the historical event.

It would be fine if it was the '90s and they were getting educated at a 5th grade level. But you know today they're being taught that the last 400 years are like a capeshit movie where all the Indians live each other and all the mayos were born evil.

Idk it says the books are from 97 and I don't have a ton of faith in teachers to do anything more than just teach the book

I was in school in the 90s and there's no way in heck this would have flown. I went to a shitty public school too, not some kind of uptight private place.
Our education of native americans was obviously slanted to paint them as peace-loving people (not to mention implicitly grouping them all together, as if there wasn't a varied patchwork of different tribes and ethnicities in North America), but no worksheet would ever suggest that simply murdering everyone from a particular race was a possible solution to anything.

I agree, but they should also have follow up exams that involve consequences based on the choices they picked. For example, every child who picked the option "We should attack the white colonists and turn them into slaves" gets their next quiz thought-exercise to be something like "We tried to attack the white man and turn them into slaves, but their soldiers retaliated and slaughtered half our village. Now they are threatening to genocide us if we don't move onto a reservation that is known for poor crop yield. What do we do?" It could be like a fun little Choose Your Own Adventure where kids learn to optimize for good outcomes instead of doing whatever their r-slurred emotions tell them to.
That way this wouldn't be just an exercise in moral reasoning: kids would also learn that life sometimes involves practical considerations, like whether your
tribalpolitical leaders are so r-slurred that they turned your entire military into a joke, making your society easy prey for any outside force that wants to take overJump in the discussion.

This is literally one photo of one worksheet. Who knows how the teacher used it or worked it into the curriculum. It can honestly be spun as either pro or anti colonialism.

True but there are literally no correct choices here. The correct response would be "Form a legally binding peace treaty, not because we like these white devils but because the alternative is extermination for our people. And besides, it's not like we didn't genocide the tribe who got here before us."
But you know, Native Americans egos are so fragile that they just can't handle any accountability for the fact that their own ancestors were every bit as savage and genocidal as the white people were to them. They always play the victim while denying their own vicious warcrimes.
