USSR vibes detected
This comment has so many levels of unintended irony and missing the point that it is genuinely making me laugh my ass off.
Behold, the least propagandized people in the world.
Oof… just because the Russians are our enemies now, doesn’t mean they were Nazis during world war II. They fought the Nazi a lot longer than America did for sure.
Yeah they fought the Nazis - but first they made a deal with the Nazis to divide eastern Europe and went on a campaign of rape and plunder. You should look into the atrocities committed by the USSR during the 20th century - Germany paid a heavy price for their evils. Russia never did.
The Soviet Union lost 27 million people fighting the Nazis, wtf is this Nazi apologia?
Yeah, the non aggression pact, trying to save what was left of Poland. (Guess where the Jewish people fled?) Its not like it was the only country(which unlike others, had reasons, tsarist regime and the civil war are not great for neither the army nor people) which was wishing to isolate itself from expanding Nazi Germany, not like US was neutral(and the businesses were allied) regarding Nazi Germany till last moment. And no, Germany did not pay a heavy price, just the rhetoric about Muslims in the German politics today can say that.
Also, I would like to mention, the fight against Fascism was done by the SOVIET PEOPLE, not only by Russians (my human waves!!!), this alone says a lot about your knowledge of history…
A lot of people here thinking the USA is speed running fascism here.
No, the USA was always an inspiration to fascism (just ask the remaining Native Americans as an example).
That’s why it was able to adopt into it so quick. Not that hard to change a car to gasoline if it was already running on diesel.
What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?
Clarity: Native American -> American
American -> Immigrant American
And due to the transitive property of humans, if we follow this through to its logical conclusion then native Americans are immigrant Americans too
Which is why “indigenous” is the best word in my opinion. Not just for the indigenous Americans, but for indigenous people the world over. It’s generally understood to mean “pre-colonial.”
Edit: The only exception I can think of is that the Vikings settled Greenland before the Thule (who became the Greenland Inuit), but Danes are not considered indigenous and Inuit are. Maybe because the Vikings that settled there all left or died out and also maybe because the Vikings and the Thule settled different parts of Greenland and had very little contact with each other even when they could clearly see each other across a fjord. The very Christian Vikings of that era were probably quite reluctant to interact with people they saw as heathens.
Because “American” is not their word for themselves. It is the Latinized last name of the Italian explorer (Amerigo Vespucci) who explored the continents.
It would be offensively ironic to name the original dwellers of this land mass after the guy, it would be assimilation.
Not really. Those are human made concepts, so you must start from the inception of the concept of immigration. Good luck finding the exact date, since it predates written language :/

Is almost a good analogy, but that’s not so easy 😅
just have to replace the engine, how hard could it be? /s
better analogy would be converting a (relatively modern) gas engine to E85, it’s simpler, from what i understand
Frying fat would have been better, because most older diesels run on it out of the box.
Well it did take awhile, but it’s definitely easier than turning a horse into an electric car
From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It’s only their right apparently.
Can you name one person who’s discussed free speech who was also involved in this firing?
I can’t name anyone who fired her and you know it. You also know that Elon Musk literally claims to be a “free speech absolutist” and then censors people who disagree with him and his fans are all in support of that.
I can’t name anyone who fired her and you know it.
Correct. It was mostly a rhetorical challenge.
Given you can’t name these people, you were obviously speaking outside your sphere of knowledge when you said:
From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech.
There’s also not a word from muskrat denouncing her being censored and fired, which is hipocritical, to say the least, from a “free speech absolutist”
(The shirt makes it even better)
What happened to the right to speak the truth?
Their truth.
Their alternative facts.
The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.
