no i agree it’s important to call it out. good point. you just didn’t phrase your original statement in a way that led me to that conclusion.

my instance limits media sizes

edit: i regularly take steps to try to compress an image to a size that works. but have limited time, post from mobile, and this is the shitpost community i post to for fun in my free time. sometimes it doesn’t get done, sorry.

reminder that Hamas (the antisemitic political-military organization) is not Palestine. Hamas even has an entirely different flag from the Palestinian state.

in other words, while the Confederate flag is an explicit expression of racism, the Palestinian flag is absolutely not.

in pre-civil war full-tilt slavery USA, murdering enslaved people was considered a crime, not against humanity but against the slave owner’s “property.”

so yeah pretty much

a necessary service these days. thanks.

sorry gang i tried catbox but it didn’t work. i like imgur because it’s friendly with tineye and free.

that would seem to be more accurate.

to be fair, the ol’ star spangled banner would also fit that heuristic.

i don’t think that’s the takeaway here

is it bait if i posted it because i thought it was funny

but the title said explicitly the opposite!

sorry consider the bait spread i personally have the opinion that bait inoculation is possible

good way to put it

You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.

You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.

Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)

Be sure to read and take seriously the comments here, OP. They are correct. The majority of the media you have consumed about “DEI” was intentional lies to make you believe oligarchs and billionaires were on your side against a constructed enemy.

That enemy isn’t real. The billionaires aren’t on your side. They just wanted to cultivate your anger for personal gain, and for many, unfortunately, that propagandizing was successful.

excellent answer and analogy, and even more points for not using the useless phrase no true scottsman :) /gen

ha, you finally got banned for your annoying AI content. that’s what you get for being mean about it, be nicer next time and we won’t care so much that you care so little about being a genuine participant in the space we try to keep nice and friendly.
