I really do forget how disconnected the average american is from understanding politics and policy.
Someone made a post about an org that helps teen moms, gives them somewhere to stay, provides job training.
They're about to close their doors bc they lost their federal funding

If you want to live under a king, you ultimately wish to be a slave to that person’s commands.
If you want to live under a democracy, you wish to be free to do anything that’s allowed under the law.
The people who want authoritarianism don’t feel confident enough to live with real freedom.

Really wish more government accounts and journalists would use that place less often
'Small changes to the tone of posts fed to users of X can increase feelings of political polarisation as much in a week as would have historically taken at least three years, research has found.' 1/3
Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation
Study finds that a week of political content can bring about a shift in views that previously would have taken three years

That trans people were what?!
That is wild

I know we're all focusing on the chat gpt thing but this is an absolutely insane way for the observer and also glinner to refer to an ecofacsist who believes that trans people were invented by jews to eliminate humanity and that mass bombing campaigns should happen for the enviroment.

I have been informed this thread did well in a FB group because they disgareed about Germans not being seen as inherently white in America
The evidence? Some guy who said his german ancestors were white because they migrated in the 1840s and promptly got involved in the slave trade
And 🫠

Whiteness is just so weird
Lying is its main function
So funny anecdote about a foster family I was with...
They were German but changed their name to something polish after that whole ww2 thing
But the story thst stands out the most to me was the grandma.
So. She was born circa 1910

Oh evidently we've decided on the stupid discourse of the day?
Of all the things america has done, using the term "american" is by far the least egregious
It's such a non issue lol

asking Americans to stop calling *themselves* Americans is roughly as feasible as asking 300 million+ people to shoot rainbows out of their butts, which is another reason why I eye roll at people who want to moralize about it
