"He dared to brave the waters that his cotemporaries dare not to" yeah because they actually did the math and tried to warn him that no circling the earth just to reach India would be too far of a distance to reach safely.

Columbus is just the perfect hero for amerikkka because he keeps failing upwards.

It's like doing a startup with some guy you met through friends but all his progress updates are emails about how he tortured and killed entire neighborhoods because they didn't refer a friend to the app.

Hell that might make 'em all shut the fuck up as the bicker amongst themselves over whether vikins or Italians are more based or some shit

Edit: what the fuck Trump don't steal our bits

I'll follow this up and say we need to pay respect to real Italian and Italian American heroes like Sacco, Vanzetti, Cacchione and Marcantonio.
