...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?

What happened to the right to speak the truth?

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 18 points 7 hours ago

Their truth.

Their alternative facts.

The actual truth is for snowflakes and liberals to get upset over.

I'm honestly getting real fuckin fed up with this country

From the same people who scream and bitch and moan about their right of free speech. It's only their right apparently.

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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Who gets their frying fat in a box?

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Well it did take awhile, but it's definitely easier than turning a horse into an electric car

Before WW2 broke out, the New York Times LOVED Mussolini. They kept pumping out articles about how much of a cool guy he was.

What if we called the original people Americans, and the newcomers immigrant Americans?

Clarity: Native American -> American

American -> Immigrant American

[–] SparrowRanjitScaur@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

And due to the transitive property of humans, if we follow this through to its logical conclusion then native Americans are immigrant Americans too

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

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.

Everything they accuse china and the opposition of doing it something they do or want to do themselves.

[–] Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession.
