@CatsPlayHashi To be honest, in real life conversations Americans usually disclose that they mean "St Petersburg, Florida", not the other one. (But they often forget that there's some other Georgia somewhere in the world).
@MountainGenera Asmon would discourage people from voting for him: "Don't vote for me, if I become the President, I'll just steal everything". Then he'd win, because everyone would think he's just being edgy, and, to everyone's surprise, he'd do exactly what he told he'd do.
every passage is like "hitler demanded 50000 planes to be made in one year. albert speer swore he would make a hundred thousand planes instead. by using slave labor and at the expense of everything else they made 23469 planes. in that same time the allies made 250 billion planes"
@TheChroNikler "Oh no! I enjoyed the movie, but people I don't like also enjoyed the movie! Now I'm pissed off that they enjoyed the same thing I did and I can't enjoy it anymore!"
What kind of argument is this?
@dykegrrl Iranians are mostly Muslims and, according to Americans, brown (even if in real life they're whiter than Sicillians), and they're victims of American-Israeli aggression, so these people see it as moral to side with them. Which to them automatically means they're the good guys.
@Preist_Prayin1 And yet, if you asked a person in the street if they would like to bring the 1980s back, most would say "no fucking way, are you crazy?"
@d_n_keane@redroomrantings If "poor amd marginalized people" means "a widow with children sitting quietly in the corner", not "some dude playing with a knife and loudly arguing with the voices in his head", it's not that big of a deal.
@cameron19460429 Every political movement is tempted to discover The Root Cause of All Evil, connect all bad things to that cause, and then find endless excuses to do nothing about it.
In case of large parts of Polish right, that cause is Germany.
@nycdoe456 People whose entire knowledge of the other place comes from Twitter claim it's actually the same everywhere. On both sides.
The reasonable position is: America is much more diverse than an average Euro thinks, but Europe has over 150 dialects and history measured in millenia.
