Over what time period are we talking though?

Like the Wikipedia article says 10-100M and up to 95% died from plagues brought over from ~1500-1618, but I can’t tell if the sources are any good/reliable.

Does this count or does it mean that of those who remained, a further 75% got genocided? Or is it referring to some specific even later genocide.

This is like the memes calling Trump and Putin gay, you aren’t hurting your target, you are just further marginalizing normal people who struggle with these issues.

Can’t say for certain without knowing exactly which memes you’re talking about but the ones I’ve seen are often the opposite. The butt of the joke is their ‘hypermasculinity’, drawing attention to how ridiculous the concept is and thereby trying to destigmatize being gay or at least being more open to ‘gay’ behaviours (e.g. empathy).

There’s also ones where they’re directly accused of being closeted (e.g. Graham) which is a bit more harmful but even then it seems strategically positive in that allies won’t care, and if it gets the hateful ones to turn on them that improves conditions for the vast majority of ordinary lgbtq+ members.

Source for that 75% claim? Wondering how it’s calculated since I’ve heard ~90% died to plagues the settlers brought, but since 75% is below that it seems like it’s calculating something else. Is it referring to some specific time period?

I do the same but I’ve started to add casual language to it to make it seem less AI. E.g. Rather than “likely” I’ll say “pretty likely” or “I’ve heard” or something else that doesn’t seem very AI but still conveys slight uncertainty.

While I personally think that voting democrat out of fear of the alternative is far far more harmful in the long run, I had an issue with

I think if you put the responsibility on the voters and not the coalition of politicians that claim to represent them, after a while that starts to seem less like advocacy and more like victim blaming.

Calling it victim blaming feels unfair. It acts like voters are completely innocent and are absolutely opposed to their representative’s actions. Even though some of their actions are unpopular - US voters support their politicians, police, army, etc… Look at how they react whenever anything unfortunate happens to any of them.

If you actively support and defend a system you’re kind of responsible for it’s actions even if it ignored you when you politely asked it to do something else. E.g. Despite being unjustly sentenced to death Socrates still drank Hemlock because having supported the system his entire life he had that responsibility / ethical obligation.

The flag and closet arrow imply that the person agreeing is also a trans girl - just not one who had previously revealed it to the person they’re talking to. So by agreeing it’s gay they’re saying it’s gay because it’s two women in love. Unless you’re saying gay only applies to 2 men in love and not 2 women in love.

Up yours, Woke Moralists

the US does that kind of shit now

now

You think they only started now???!
