I'm confused. I'm not following what gift in quotes means.

means it was a French imposition from the period when they ruled Mexico. Even though we kicked them out (what 5 de Mayo celebrates), the upper classes maintained close cultural ties that were then absorbed by the middle class.

Funny how the upper classes have never needed no Marx to tell them to unite...

Interesting. Similar thing in Cyprus with UK is some small respects, which is why almost everybody "well off" studies in the UK.

We celebrate kicking them out April the 1st — originally they thought we were joking. But it's a much complex story than left-wing VS right-wing as most anti-British/anti-colonial Cypriot guerilla fighters where extreme right-wing.

hilarious! (the kicking out bit) Do say more about the politics though. What terms did the extreme right use to define itself? If its too big of a question, pls feel free to send me to the internet

This asking for the whole of the history of Modern Cyprus. So I'll try to give a brief overview. They defined themselves as Greek (not as Cypriot) & as Orthodox Christian (not Greek Orthodox though, Cypriot Orthodox; they are autocephalous, amusingly).

Thank you so much for sharing all of this history. I understand that it must be terribly painful to have to dwell on. What happened to your brother is horrible! So glad he's ok. Hope he can now laugh about how thinking about his mom saved his ass!

Did go to the internet to get the 'official' story so that I could make better sense of what you'd written. The politics seem as if The Troubles in Northern Ireland married the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and had really mean babies. Sounds absolutely awful.

A lot of people make such parallels, and indeed there are similarities but of course it's its own thing. I'd generally say avoid what's out there but you're already bearing in mind it's very biased towards g/c accounts so you'll probably be OK.

Also you're super welcome. It's tough to share because nobody really gets it, at least that's how I feel often.
