@Lilette_K@twink_death Of course they are American, more american than anyone else, I'm just saying that non-native americans don't get to claim native history and culture as their own
@mydarkmagic@twink_death Yeah so how is that related to the topic of the conversation though
I'm not saying all americans are colonisers
I'm saying you don't get to claim a culture that the colonisers that created your country tried to erase
@mydarkmagic@twink_death I'm not saying that at all
I'm saying that the culture of the US that the ragebaiters are currently arguing about started that way
America obviously had culture before, but that's not the culture patriotic weirdos are saying is more culturally diverse than "european culture"
@mydarkmagic@twink_death Of course! But this is specifically about US-american culture, which only started existing and developing when those european ancestors landed there to colonise
@twink_death This is obviously me assuming you're not native, that's not something I could know about you, but I just don't think native people would say that lol
The coloniser doesn't just get to take over the culture and history of the colonised, they are separate
@twink_death Kinda crazy to suddenly claim native cultures when it is about trying to one up Europeans, when your ancestors did their absolute best job at destroying those cultures
Native American cultures are surely as old as Europeans, but you don't really get to use them as a joker card
@GrandZeroGaming "76% of americans have travelled to another country, while only 50% of Europeans have travelled to another continent" is just straight up not how comparisons work though
@realsolarpanel@realcountlustig Like I'm absolutely sure the culture within the US can be super different, but it always ends up as a dick size comparison about who has the most cultures, like how much culture can a country develop in just a few hundred years compared to a few thousand years
@realsolarpanel@realcountlustig Yeah and that's completely fair and valid, it's just this argument being brought up every time this topic gets dug up again, that claims that the difference in culture within the US is equal or even deeper than in Europe and history already disproves this realistically
@DKMBautista@pmamtraveller We also know this by the fact that the big famous first nazi book burning was of books from a library dedicated to topics like transgender and intersex people and people of different sexualities
Country that has a massive negative impact on the climate is weirdly obsessed with Europeans complaining about the effects of the climate collapsing
Buying a fuck ass fan isn't going to help the climate
Not bombing other countries out of greed would though
Makes me think of all the women, trans or cฤฏล, who were excluded from sports for having high testosterone, yet these loser dudes pump themselves full of testosterone and they still lost
It's almost like the problem was misogyny and transphobia all along
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT JUST HAPPENED AT THE ENHANCED GAMES..
Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr. spent millions to create a steroid Olympics.
They promised to "redefine human limits" and put up $25M in prize money.
After 5 hours in Las Vegas, hereโs the scoreboard:
- 1 world record (not recognized by anyone)
- Thor Bjรถrnsson failed his 515kg deadlift (managed only 475kg)
- olympic sprinter Fred Kerley missed the 100m WR by 0.4s - without even taking drugs
- the only "record" came from a Greek swimmer who finished 5th at Paris 2024. He wore a supersuit banned since 2009 and beat the clean record by just 0.07s
the whole pitch was that drugs would shatter the limits of clean sport.
instead they proved the gap between juiced and clean is now 7 hundredths of a second - in a suit banned 17 years ago.
the only thing they actually proved was how good the clean athletes already are.
You think the Enhanced Games exposed anything or just embarrassed themselves?
Mossad boobyโtrapped 21,000 communication devices with explosives, sent them to Lebanon through shell companies, and detonated them remotely โ killing dozens (including children) and injuring over 3,400.
โข The devices exploded in people's hands, on their faces, and in their pockets.
โข They did it over two consecutive days.
โข On day two, the explosives went off while Lebanese families were at the funerals of those killed the day before.
โข The attack inflicted roughly 3,000 injuries in a single hour on the first day alone.
This terrorist attack was the largest simultaneous massโdetonation in history by the number of individual bombs.
'israelis' joke about it to this day.
If you didn't boycott Apple for the Congo, boycott it now.
