I’ve got a question about ranges. If you have a ghost gun, will that be a problem? Do they check serial numbers?

It’s like that time when Al-Qaeda told Isis to chill the fuck out

“The bullet” is what Trump nicknamed his penis

Words have meaning

It’s incredibly sad that this has been turned into a meaningless phrase.

That’s stupid bullshit and you know it. The Civil War was a war between one group of guys and another group of guys. We cannot use the same term to describe both groups of guys. The historical accounts would make no sense.

And history has ALWAYS referred to rebels and insurrectionists by the name they give themselves, it’s nothing unique to the Confederacy. Pretending it somehow “legitimizes” the Confederacy is pure bullshit dreamed up by someone who wants to puff up his “I am so very very woke” cred. It’s a solution in search of a problem.

What do we call George Washington’s army? The same name they gave themselves, the Continental Army. What do we call Irish nationalists during the Troubles? The same name they gave themselves, the IRA. What do we call the militant Islamic fundamentalists who took over Afghanistan as the US pulled out? The same name they gave themselves, the Taliban.

The fact that you think referring to a rebel group by the name they gave themselves has ANYTHING to do with ANY kind of narrative means you are being either disingenuous or ignorant.

There are many, many ways to fight against bigots and racists nowadays. This is not one of them.

Historical revisionism is a goddamn plague and should be met with a firm slap to the face any time it’s suggested, even if it’s in favor of the side we agree with.

I don’t know what kind of fucking obsession gen Z has with labels, but you need to chill the fuck out about it. Calling the North “the United States” instead of “the Union” does absolutely fuckall to make anything better whatsoever, and it chips away at the foundations of historical accuracy.

I would vote for Newsom…as President of the breakaway Republic of California

It’s in the title, dude. First place.

If the vote were right now, then according to this poll, yes

You delusional fucks are literally denying reality

All the other bullshit aside, this isn’t a hot take. This is the majority opinion on lemmy.

It’s literally in the title. First place.

The year is 2028

AOC wins the Democratic nomination

Lemmy immediately ridicules AOC as a shitlib centrist and says that to save democracy, we must protest vote for [insert name here].

A Democratic centrist literally polled at #1. It’s in the headline.

Exactly. If I were her, I’d fuck off to Europe and send a big fat middle finger to everyone asking for help.

Is that in the best interests of the American people? No. Is it an entirely understandable reaction? Yes.

Harris polls in 1st place

Lemmy Leftists: “no one wants Harris!”

Y’all are in a bubble.

True.

Better than not being one, I guess

At a certain point, fascism is bad for business, so I can imagine a small overlap there.

I’m guessing you’re not a native English speaker?

Under Biden, economic inequality decreased for the first time in a generation.

But you dumb shits absolutely refused to believe it. Because propaganda fucking works.
