  • I guess you missed the part where genocide is bad, m’kay. And the minimum she could do is speak out against it. She hasn’t. She’s actually denounced the protestors that are speaking out against it. So take your measured BS because genocide is one of the worst things to support and that is what the Democratic party is doing. You support them, you support genocide. Justify it anyway you want.

    Or, you can actively oppose it and have Kamala denounce you too. I’d rather be on the non-genocide team instead.

    You call me bad faith while I call for an end to supporting genocide- look at yourself and your stance.












  • peak colonial baggage

    I get the thought, but wouldn’t changing it just end up performative?

    I think changing the date system from AD/BC to CE/BCE is peak performative, and that’s coming from me as an atheist. We still use the same years based on the mistaken belief of when the Christ was born.

    Where would we change UTC to be? Best place I could think of is where the current International date line is in the middle of the Pacific but that area is already a clusterfuck of zig zagging not that current UTC 0 is much better. And then, what do we call it? Do we keep UTC because it was a compromise between English and French speakers? Should we go with Mandarin Chinese since that is the most widely spoken language natively in the world? But there is plenty of colonialism within Chinese history of the Han people versus all other Chinese ethnicities and languages. Or English because it is the most widely spoken language when adding first and additionally spoken languages (definitely colonialism there)?

    I’d sincerely love to know your thoughts on this. I’ve pondered it before and couldn’t come up with a good change besides using an artificially made language like Esperanto but that comes with a whole host of other issues.
