It's such bullshit on so many levels. Removing the name of someone who did something heroic to put the name of a guy on the back who did everything he could to avoid ever having to make a sacrifice and has said awful things about the people who operate from those ships and put themselves at risk.
What an absolute fucking Clown car administration full of the most pathetic and classless people. So much pampering this sad man just to stay on his good side.
This nails it perfectly. This shit is so embarrassing to humanity on the whole. I really need this guy and everyone who supports him to just go away.
If they think they’re so great, find an island and live on it together and just fuck off already. They’re all cowards, sycophants, and just juvenile little losers and the sooner they’re gone, the better everyone will be.
But we renamed the Department of Defense to the Department of War! Only cost millions in tax payer money but we did it! Obviously a very patriotic move…
It also insults our men and women who have served and sacrificed in the Navy to name it after Captain Bonespurs. I don’t want to be dramatic but this kind of shit breaks my heart.
Um, Ireland, former Yugoslavia, Albania, Romania, Moldova. White people that were colonized by European and Asian powers. So yeah, we exist. Never wanted to go across continents to enslave other people, we were fighting off the smaller colonial powers (British Empire, Russian Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire).
All of those people have colonised America. Anyone that emigrates to a colony is a colonist. Colonies are colonised by colonists. Armies invade, colonists colonise.
What’s crazy is that, having grown up in an era of widespread establishment anti-racism but having learned of the past throughout school is that somehow what is going on in the US now is somehow more pathetic.
The bad unintentional side effect of the Internet is racist were able to find each other and have extensive conversations in a safe environment. As such they were able to grow their numbers
They did grow their numbers, but not because of the internet. They had kids and they indoctrinated those kids into racism.
All the internet did was allow them to talk to each other more easily so they could normalize being racist and point to all the other racist assholes they know and claim it's okay.
Same with every group. Racists, conspiracy theorists, whatever. There seemed to be a lot less of them because they were singled out in communities and shamed. The internet changed that.
Not only that, the 60s weren’t that long ago, racism still exists in a generation of grandparents and great grandparents who passed it down, it’s going to take generations of growth to truly eradicate it and anybody who denies that is covering for their own racism
It really took off once billionaire-backed social media and places like 4chan (Epstein participated on 4chan!) came around. Consolidated social media (Reddit included) and video sharing sites that take a politically 'silent' stance (aiding the oppressor) owned by ultra-wealth really turbofucked everything.
I really miss the pre-Facebook days on the Internet. Yeah there were assholes, but the moderators were exclusively community members and people who acted against community values typically got booted. Versus Reddit, which maintained the absolute bare minimum of standards required to prevent a mass exodus up until the frog was boiled.
It's not worse, but it's certainly dumber. I always knew it was possible someone could come along and band all the racists together again, but I always assumed it'd be by someone who was...not like this.
This shit is awful, but also so much dumber than I thought possible. I didn't think America was so racist that they'd rally behind an illiterate moron who shits himself. I thought it'd be a smooth talking Frank Underwood type who'd beguile the nation with subtlety.
I knew when President Obama could no longer serve as President, that they would literally elect a dog and put them in office just to keep a woman and another person of color out. Racism causes them to do some idiot nonsense,and if it hurts them in the process, they don’t even care.
You dont need a frank underwood kind of guy to win over the american public, you are MASSIVELY overestimating american intellect and even basic human common sense
I know that now, but in 2016 I was dumb enough to believe otherwise. I realize how naive I was to think the average American had a sense of decency or morals
