@geophysichick On the opposite end of the argument though "Princess" just applies to only her planet, which is probably why some people call her "General."

Or maybe because her planet ceased to exist and it's not like "Napoleon, Emperor of the French" (instead of France), sooo...yyyeah...

[Ez @ezrazxz]

@geophysichick But princesses and queens are leaders and they outrank generals.

I'm pretty sure if I had a time machine and called Queen Artemesia "Admiral" (or more likely, "Turmarch," because technically Cyrus is the "Strategos") she'd stab me for demoting her.

@geophysichick The only time we say Field Marshal instead of Prince/King? Napoleon's.

Why? Because people think these people aren't deserving of being royalty, so Murat isn't really accepted as King of Naples.

Although Bernadotte was accepted as King of Sweden, probably because he flipped.

[Ez @ezrazxz]

@geophysichick But "Princess" outranks "General," like how we go "Edward the Black Prince" instead of "General Edward the Black." Or "Archduke Charles" instead of "General Charles Louis."

[Ez @ezrazxz]

@geophysichick 4. Queen Thamaris of the Massagetae instead of Supreme Commander Thamaris (which is kind of like the difference between FDR and Eisenhower)

[Ez @ezrazxz]

@geophysichick "But those are dudes!"

1. Queen Artemesia instead of Admiral Artemesia
2. Princess Sun Ren instead of General Sun Ren
3. Queen Boudicca and Princesses instead of General Boudicca and Lt-Generals

In 1892, after a brutal lynching and mass murder of Italian-Americans in New Orleans, President Harrison declared a one-time national celebration of Italian heritage, hoping to placate Italian-Americans and repair relations with Italy.

They called it Columbus Day.

50 years later, during WW2, FDR labeled Italian-Americans "enemy aliens" and interned them.

To quell outrage over their treatment, FDR reversed his decision and declared Columbus Day a national holiday.

The purpose of making Columbus Day an official holiday was to virtue signal to a marginalized population, while continuing to marginalize them.

Renaming it Indigenous People's Day does the exact same thing.

The fact that Republican and Democrat politicians and corporate media want you arguing with each other over whether today is Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples' Day, instead of talking about the harm they're doing, tells you everything you need to know about their motivations.

You can't call it Columbus Day because you want to celebrate your Italian heritage, or what led to your ancestors coming to America. They'll say you're a "colonizer who wants to celebrate rape and genocide."

You can't call it Indigenous Peoples' Day because you want to focus on the struggles and achievements of Natives. They'll say you're a "communist who wants to erase American history".

The hyperbole is the point. They want us at each other's throats, so we don't focus on what they do to all of us.

If they actually wanted to help people, including indigenous people, they would end their crushing inflationary policies that drive people into poverty and destroy their ability to save and invest for the future.

They would end the Jones Act so that access to goods and services wasn't so expensive for all of us, especially islanders and Alaskans.

They would end the Bureau of Indian Affairs and let Natives use their own lands as they see fit, instead of forcing them to beg for permission from the same federal government that committed genocides against them.

They would admit their policies are causing harm and end them, instead of being liars and hypocrites.

But then, if RepubliCrats weren't liars and hypocrites, they wouldn't be RepubliCrats.

I typically call it Columbus Day. I also couldn't care less what you call today. Call it Monday. I don't care.

I care about undoing the real harm that is being done by our presumed rulers, and ending this perpetual culture war that they lead us by our noses to fight against each other.

@DocHappy95 This is why any time I try to open a Philippine Gov website to access "services" (how is it a service if government requires availment of it?!), @Bitdefender takes me back to a safe page.

I trust BitDefender waaaaaaaay more than the Philippines government.

BREAKING:

97 of my Republican colleagues joined the Democrats in voting against my amendment that would stop sending YOUR tax dollars to LEBANON.

115 of my Republican colleagues joined the Democrats in voting against my amendment that would stop sending YOUR tax dollars to IRAQ.

Year after year we send millions of American dollars to corrupt and failed states that can’t figure out a way to keep your money out of terrorists’ hands.

How can sending money to places that are overrun by terrorist organizations like Hezbollah and ISIS possibly be in America’s interest?! All while our border is being invaded and we have a $33 trillion debt to boot!

This is why people are fed up with Washington.

If you truly want us to be rid of the scary things, we must stop humanizing them. That shields them from any Solutions we can come up with.
