…because it’s really important that meteorology calculations are done with the correct conservative perspective, lest you predict the weather in too woke a way or start believing in climate change and other elitist liberal dogma?

They really are speedrunning fascism this time around. They did have plenty of time to prepare out in the open and gained public support with no long term repercussions.
Remember when trump said he had no idea what project 2025 was and that he had no intention of implementing it?
ah, freedom of speech at its finest
Not supporting this but freedom of speech is freedom from prosecution. If you are flipping burgers and tell a customer your favorite category of adult film, your getting fired.
From what I searched, the meteorologist criticized Elon Musk on her private social media, not while working.
If you’re flipping burgers, and later you get home and post online on a personal account about your favorite category of adult film, it’s none of your employer’s business.
I totally agree. Still nothing to do with freedom of speech itself. The 1st amendment.
Yep you are free to call out fascist your employer supports. And your employer is unfortunately free you to fire you. No free speech violations there. Now if they called in the government to take you off to a camp to be exterminated or re-educated. Once the government becomes involved it’s most definitely a free speech / human rights violation. Will get there soon enough. Still plenty of reason to be outraged.
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.

Is almost a good analogy, but that’s not so easy 😅
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
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
What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?
Clarity: Native American -> American
American -> Immigrant American
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 :/
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.
