    I mean the very simple answer they’ll have to any point you make is “it’s a lie told by <opposition> to get <what they want> unfairly and/or illegally.”

    Which is why earnest discussion is so difficult. Neither side can really trust that the other side to use words that match intent. I, for sure, don’t trust anything a Right-leaning pundit says about their reasons for legislative positions.

    No, the “Nobody” is meant to show that the following line is a conversation started apropos of nothing.

    A lot of memes don’t need a starting context and aren’t in the form of a conversation, so the “Nobody” is pointless and betrays that there wasn’t much thought put in.











  • This is not targeted at you nor OP.

    The answer for both you and OP is tied to your last sentence

    so we can all enjoy fried chicken and watermelon on Juneteenth.

    Why fried chicken and watermelon and why on Juneteenth? Do you eat fried chicken and watermelon as part of your normal rotation? (Hopefully, ‘yes’ because both are delicious and everyone should be afforded the opportunity to indulge)

    The issue is that very evidently in both OP’s case and the one you linked that someone was given the prompts “food for celebration” and “celebration of African Americans”, generated “African American party foods”, and churned out a menu reinforcing racist stereotypes. The inquiry is “hey, where is your head at?”





  • Because most protests are about making the lives of normal people miserable until they’re pissed enough to hold someone to task.

    Are the Tories gonna care that Stonehenge was dusted, from in their mansions? Most of them would love to dig up the stones and use them as new countertops, simply as a bragging point at their parties. But normal people that care about landmarks like these will be pissed and, maybe, bitch to the government.
