There’s no way lmao, either this was shopped or they updated the thumbnail
The 2D, solid and vibrant color motif of the past ~15 years was objectively a good design choice for accessibility and should not be treated as a trend that can go out of style
You might want to block out some things like the road sign. Would be not that hard for 
to find your house from this photo
Really? Wikipedia is usually at the top of Google searches for me
Reminder that half the country bravely fought the monarchist Whites only a century ago
NASA has been working with Lockheed Martin on the X-59 aircraft for several years, but we are still decades away from civilian supersonic flight.
I have no idea what the ideal strategy would have been.
One can always speculate, but seeing as the universe isn’t deterministic, it’s impossible to correlate failure with an incorrect strategy. Especially when the sample size is essentially 1 in this case.
Reality is, the Black Panthers were always the underdogs relative to the US Government. This is true generally for radical movements. It can fail many times because of this, maybe even just because of bad luck.
But that’s how it always is, isn’t it? A revolution doesn’t happen unless some group, usually starting from the smallest possible minority, decides to roll the dice because it only takes one success (out of many failures) to change history.
The movement would have been incorporated into mainstream liberal electoralism
Which kind of happened anyway, but alas
is a bad movie. I watched it for the first time, and it didn’t age well.
Movie starts out with RW 
blatantly objectifying the first Vietnamese woman he sees… then thinking he sees her again, because haha every Asian looks the same right guys? cue theater audience wheezing
He ends up stalking her across town and bribes her teacher $20 to teach her class. Again, they’ve never spoken to each other, she was literally just walking along the street and he’s convinced that they will fall in love.
It doesn’t get better. I’m not trying to write a plot summary but it’s a couple hours of boomer humor mixed with orientalism, war propaganda, anti-communism, racism (you’re supposed to laugh when RW attempts to speak Spanish to communicate with the locals), and homophobia (there is one gay character and he is portrayed as a sexual deviant who likes taking creep photos of GI’s ankles)
The portrayal of the Vietnamese people was in general, fake and unbelievable. Unless you believe it’s realistic that a girl would fall in love with her stalker when they can barely even communicate to each other.
3/10 there were a couple funny lines, and the general structure, pacing etc of the film was ok
From what I can find, it’s based on the Chinese Dongfeng Nammi Box
Similar to how the Ford Explorer EV is based on Volkswagen’s MEB platform (same one as most of their EVs like the ID.3)
so calling it 100% indigenous is a bit of a stretch. However, while researching this, there was a lot of anti-AES nonsense and propaganda, so hard to say if the downplaying is more untrue than the claim of 100% indigenous. I can’t find any hard information on this vehicle at all. It’s either fluff pieces or racists saying that it’s not possible that Africans could do it on their own.
Regardless, progress for Burkina Faso is a very good thing to see
