The person making things up is the person saying Elon was not giving a Nazi salute in the most convoluted way possible.

That would be you.

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.

Probably so. It’s always going to be an arms race, just like with malware.

I joked about this once, but I’m starting to think that if the Democrats want to win the people over, they need to get that guy who hosted Survivor to run for president, and get Guy Fieri to run a podcast to get all the kids onboard.

America elected a B-movie actor and then a reality TV show star as presidents, so I think you’re probably right. The culture of celebrity worship in America could be the only way to get through to people.

It seems like the same speed it is when I clear my cookies, but I’ve also only been here less than a week, so I guess I will have to wait and see.

You are really trying hard to protect Musk and his Nazi followers, but I’m afraid you’re not doing a good job of it.

EDIT: I love that the modlogs are public.

You are right. Asking the person who says that they are not suggesting people give up what they should do instead of giving up is what I feel is the correct method.

But feel free at any time to say what people should do if not either give up or berate people on the internet.

I know you won’t because it’s clear you have no idea.

Thanks for proving my point.

Again: what would you suggest people do other than berate random strangers on the internet?

It’s okay, I know you won’t actually answer. People like you never do.

I can’t name anyone who fired her and you know it. You also know that Elon Musk literally claims to be a “free speech absolutist” and then censors people who disagree with him and his fans are all in support of that.

Figuring what out, Cubby? Your total lack of a sense of humor? Admittedly, that is a conundrum.

It’s similar to their regular “you call everything racism” bullshit. They really do seem to believe that acknowledging what they are doing is unfair to them.

You literally said this:

I’m arguing liberals have the memory of a goldfish and will forget it the next time something else comes up. This is #resist 2.0, purely performative.

Sure as hell sounds like give up and stop fighting to me. If not, what would you suggest people do other than berate random strangers on the internet? Because I can tell that’s something you’re way into, but I do not see what it helps anything other than boosting your own ego.

The generation that grew up breathing lead fumes.

I know because I’ve seen you on all of those Mickey Mouse Club reruns.

What do I really need good luck with, Cubby?

I have repeatedly had this issue and clearing l.w cookies always seems to solve it. I don’t get what is going on.

Look at our conversation and tell me who throw the hissy fit.

That’d be you, Cubby. All I’ve been doing is pointing and laughing. And it’s even funnier that you still aren’t aware of that.

No, I’m old here. That’s why I know that trying to get me and others to take you seriously in a memes community ain’t gonna happen.

I’m sure you’ll keep trying your hardest though. I won’t encourage you to stop, this hissy fit is extremely funny.

“Indigenous” generally means “pre-colonial.” As in they didn’t forcibly take over the land from someone else as far as we know.

You realize this is a meme community and expecting people to respond to you in seriousness is incredibly stupid, right? Is this your first day on the internet? Have you yet to learn what a meme is?

Also, “I don’t think this joke is funny” is not an explanation for why you appear to feel the need to ruin everyone else’s good time.
