You have sources on that first bit lol? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

Unless you’re meaning jokes about fascist voters falling down a manhole or something?

I think they’re counting on a large amount of them not caring once the symbols are out of sight, and after they smooth over the initial outrage with a bit of PR.

Better than the direction of the United States lol

Something that's important to note though, is that the Cat example isn't a great way to envision this phenomenon in general. Schrodinger's Cat was actually made as an argument against this interpretation, by blowing the behavior up to a macro scale, where it seemed absurd. While you can draw analogues and all that, I'd recommend against really thinking that macro scale objects are in a multitude of obviously different states at once, all the time. It's a path to some of the really kooky fake-science "quantum" stuff that get's repeated.

Like, you're never going to see a physicist argue that a person is both alive and dead in another room, because of the technical chance that they tunneled halfway through the wall.

What's funny is that physicists approximate and round way more than engineers do.

I don’t think you’re actually a communist. Not a real one at least.

It really is oppression to get responded to.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Winnie the Pooh was latched on to so well by Western audiences. The United States is a perennial winner in the racism olympics. Different crowds can draw connections on different parts of stuff.

Thinking people who disagree with you politically are bots or paid posters isn’t a healthy mindset to have.

Going to be real, that’s not what happened. They had a mod in a large community there, that was a chaser, and that was misgendering people. They wouldn’t remove them, so we left. We’ve got a large amount of trans people on our instance and mod team, so we didn’t want to be exposed to that.

It might not be racist in your areas, but I’ve absolutely seen a lot of people be racist with it in the US. A lot of are from there, so I’ll admit we have a perspective bias, but when a large majority of the people we seeing spreading it are from that racist, US grown, bloc of posters, it kind of primes a response to it.

You’re actually just wrong lol. Cuba has a larger HDI than most countries in the region. And that’s while being economically strangled by the United States.

And what’s this authoritarianism you’re talking about with Cuba? It’s a democracy. And it’s got better rights for minorities than the United States.

Have you considered logging off and taking a nap?

Hey, that one was decent actually! Good job!

As a Hexbear poster, I have abandoned my morality and kneel at the altar of the Russo-Sino Satanist.

I will admit that I am having fun posting.

I bet the people who had their families killed by American death squads probably hate the country more.

You can't just swap words out and assume the framework is the same. It literally makes no sense. Changing one word can, and does, have a huge effect on overall meaning of a sentence.

Land reform is authoritarianism! You can't just take other people's property. That's against the rules!

Think of the landlords.
