The Greeks weren't gay, they just hated women.

Leftist around here just means a friend of americas enemies, economics and social issues never seem to enter into it, excepto as meaningless verbal cudgels.

I find some old friends hard to hang with. They aren't wrong, they don't need to improve, they don't need to be called out or change anything, we just no longer vibe. I think it would be weird that I try to force them to turn back the clock on the person they are becoming just so that we can be compatible again.

Ok, if you really want to ignore my point about memes and how they reflect poorly on those who use them for political messaging, we can talk about words.

Stating that a word was inventing by a rich person doesn't make it invalid, stating that the CIA promoted an idea also doesn't make it invalid. Nevertheless, if totalitarian isn't a word we are allowed to use in you doubleplusgood circles, how about you give me a word that describes a country with a single party, ruling in perpetuity? I would say memes are useful for [insert your word here] propaganda

Memes are short, contextless appeals to emotion and thus the perfect format for propaganda

Does this satisfy the theory pedant in you? Do you have anything to say about the actual point being made?

France had 3 estates, The Nobles, The Clergy, and the Everyone Else. Another two got added by political theory people over time. Number 4 is the journalists. Number 5 is the alt journalists.

This is him focusing on that. This statement makes it clear that the status of the Falklands is not his priority.

You could always not buy their completely non essential products, but suggesting that rarely gets a good reception from the "obsessively whining about straws" crows.

Most people on this planet today didn't grow up on a farm, don't hunt, don't fish, but eat meat.
