No, I’m saying it’s stupid to blame the people of a country for what their monarchies were doing…

It’s not the fault of “the English” it’s the fault of the guy who was King at the time.

Be pissed all you want, we all should be.

Just be pissed at the people who are actually the problem.

But that’s probably too much to ask of someone unironically using a fucking clown emoji

You should read that

If you actually think England would have honored those treaties to stop expanding tho…

Surprise! They’d have broken them just like America made and broke them.

Which would have been great…

If your comment made anymore sense.

OPs is just a stupid meme tho, they were making a joke. You tried to correct them but you don’t even know what you’re talking about.

Do you think the country got together to workshop this meme?

Or do you think a teenager who’s still in highschool and might even know less than you made it?

No, America got their independence because the wealthiest didn’t want to pay tax to England.

And I seriously doubt the Crown wanted them to stop expanding or treat the natives better before that.

Pretty much everywhere was founded on colonial genocide…

It’s just how recent it happened.

Like, you’re giving America shit for what the English, Spanish, and other countries did before America even existed. But it’s hard to really blame even the English. It was the English people doing it, it was their royalty who were French.

For the vast amount of human history, some random group you may never have even heard about could just roll up and conquer you and take all your shit.

In general, any multimillionaire that gets off of a serious charge doesn’t mean they’re innocent.

It just another example of having ridiculous amounts of money in our legal system means it’s really hard to be hel accountable.

Hell, trump got off of beating and raping his wife, because of an old ass New York law that said a husband can’t rape his wife under any circumstance.

Lupe something.

And he wasnt convicted, but was going to. The state had a “medical expert” show up and testify that there was no way an adult woman could look like that. Just 100% sure of himself and smug as fuck about it.

Then the defense called the pornstar to the stand and she was in her late 20s or something and working in the industry for over a decade.

It was something that never should have made it to trial, and gets used a lot as an example for how shit expert testimony can be. The prosecution doesn’t try to find the person who knows the most, they find whoever can do the best job of convincing a jury that the prosecution is right. So the people who do it (some are professional “expert witnesses”) are just the most overconfident people. Even if they’re not sure, they play it up that there can’t be any doubt.

Yeah, it was really buggy recently, so lots of people just switched instances

Especially with vote bots.

It’s going to be mostly bots voting against each other

Lemmy is better on web than kbin.

But kbin lets you block entire instances as a user, which is worth the tradeoff for me.

There was a couple instances I just didn’t want to see and blocking them by community was like whack a mole

Yeah, I’ve been on 3 Lemmy instances and now kbin in like 3 weeks

Finding out kbin let you block a whole instances instead of just communities was enough to warrant a new account
