Hehe, yea, I was poking fun at the “engineer”. There was a congressman a while ago that got caught posting right wing stuff on twitter from an alt account “as a black man” (dude was white of course”
You do realize asshole Republicans reverted before it could be more than implemented on a couple of highways
“Metric supporters argued the road signs were a crucial step in helping Americans get over any psychological blocks to switching measurement systems. But Republican Charles Grassley, then a congressman and now a senator from Iowa, killed proposed federal regulations that would have forced states to put up signs in kilometers.”
They literally locked putting up signs in both metric an Imperial
Also.. remember my comment about old fucks raised on gas lead fumes…. Yea, the 70s…..
I’ll tell you, most of us in the states would love a total switch to metric. We use it where is matters most, but we also have an aging population raised on lead has fumes that think anything they don’t know is “communism” or “wholeness” or whatever else the propaganda right spews. Those are the assholes that pretty much stop progress on anything.
I’m big into 3D printing, actually got into the same argument with another 3D printing guy…. And I’m like, literally EVERYTHING we do is in metric. The whole damn hobby is metric.
Anyway, you’re still not getting it, so I’ll try one more time.
Ever see that “Are we the baddies” skit by Mitchell and Webb? It’s two Nazi officers discussing if they are the bad guys or not after one of them notices all skulls, etc? You know, this guy https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/are-we-the-baddies
No one would probably say that skit is glorifying Nazis. The subs name is the same joke. The “PC Master Race” video it comes from was making the same damn joke. And the sub from Reddit embraced it because, well “Are we the baddies?”
All of this was hashed out once before like 8 years ago (I don’t know how long actually, but my point stands.)
So, to have to argue again (and then get accused of not being “left” enough, seriously? I’m as left as I want to fucking want to be, I’ve stood in a proud boys face and told the Nazi cunt to fuck off while breathing in the sweet fumes of tear gas. When you can say the same you get an opinion)
I’m sorry you can’t get the satire of the name, I really am, as that kind of rigidity just leads to fucking misery.
Hopefully you’ll grow out of it. Hopefully you’ll understand that satires entire purpose is to say “look at this thing in the most ridiculous way and understand how dumb and wrong it is.”
Umm, that’s entirely the point. We aren’t celebrating fucking Nazis, we are making fun of them. Literally playing along with the joke Yahtzee made. The sub is literally playing along with the joke. I think you may be the one being obtuse
It also literally makes fun of it. There is no glorifying of Nazism, it comes from a Zero Punctuation video making fun of PC elitists. Y’all really need to go touch grass.
Fuck I’m as left as they come, even marched in a Pride parade IN FUCKING IDAHO no less this year. And even I see the joke. For fucks sake people.
This is exactly it. It also wouldn’t surprise me if certain accounts had images from then that might get request by law enforcement that are now “oops all gone!”
Oh I agree, hence the “ours are stupider” comment :D
