When do you think America (as a country, not a nation-state) started? And what makes yours more factual than the 1619 narrative?
Sapient liberation now.

Their people didn’t see it. Information silos.
American English is distinct from other English, so our vocabulary has no bearing on the rest of the world, but you can also get your linguistic prescriptivism out of our dialect. Language (and the meanings of words) are co-created by speakers. Ask any reputable linguist. And in American English, for political and cultural reasons, the meanings of “conservative” and “fascist” have converged in many ways.
Tell me you don’t understand LLMs or education without telling me.
Ah yes, well-researched history about topics that make white conservatives uncomfortable. That “alternate history”? What do you think is false in the 1619 project? I’m curious.
Let’s say there’s a spectrum, left to center to right, and there are a hundred political positions evenly distributed between the center and each extreme. I’m willing to accept that schools are 10 places over to the left, because “treat all people equitably” is both a left value and a necessary part of living in a free society. But this response is to pick a position maybe seventy slots over onn the right, and pretend that’s equivalent to the “left propaganda” of “Billy has two mommies, and that’s ok.”
I want my IWW-sponsored curriculum! If we have to deal with this shit, it should at least be real.
On another thread, a guy literally tried to defend this by saying “kids constantly get left-wing indocrination.” Are right wing nuts actually unaware how unbalanced the US right and left are in terms of extremism? They can’t really believe what they’re saying, right?
I just use the Refocus app (iOS) to black addictive apps except for a reasonable window each day. That way, I can access the apps when I really need to, but I can’t unconsciously end up spending 4 hours doomscrolling. It’s made a huge difference in my anger levels.
More like “Platforms that built their popularity largely on NSFW content suddenly abandoning those creators/users is a dick move.” Plus, all platforms should have nipple gender equity. (The ban on”female-presenting nipples” was instituted in the same rule change.) Because being a woman doesn’t make my nipples inherently pornographic.
No one’s coming onto Puritan sites and making them host porn. You are free to avoid all sex-related sites on the internet if you like, but most people would prefer not to.
They learned the wrong lessons for this war from the previous one.
The virus is out. The only decision now is how we respond.
Not having civilized discourse with people whose political goal is to wipe me and those I love from the face of the earth. Also, “civilized discourse” requires at least two parties who are capable of such a thing.
The question of whether something should be a law should always consider: “Is this worth using violence to enforce?”
I was responding to the previous comment, not OP. OP was saying conservatives get upset when people won’t sleep with them because they’re conservative. From the text of the comment I responded to, it looks like the person is saying “moderates” just don’t care about anyone but themselves. I’m adding that often the people the actual OP is talking about pretend to be the moderates the previous commenter is discussing.
Eh, sometimes it means another thing, namely that they know their conservatism is off-putting to most women and they’re lying to get you into bed.
Women can be conservatives too. Still gross.
If an instance you’re in defederates, just start your own. Why complain about what people want to do in their instances? Just find another one.
Yes, that’s exactly how you sound.
I think I laughed so hard I damaged my spleen. Thank you.
I see. This is the level of understanding we’re dealing with.
I know all that. That’s why a said as a country, not a nation-state; to differentiate between national culture and government It was the nation-state that started in 1789. I’m not wasting any more time arguing with you. It’s clear we won’t understand each other.
