Presumably no relation to the Hidamari Sketch character also nicknamed Yunocchi.

The Circassian genocide is the example that comes to my mind first. In my experience, most people, at least in Western countries, when they hear "Circassian", they will immediately think I'm actually talking about Cardassians, a race of fictional aliens from Star Trek (or they'll at least remark on how similar these words sound).

I also think the Milan Congress is an event more people should know about. This was a congress on Deaf education in 1880 that declared a ban on sign languages in schools, causing trauma and poverty and general harm to Deaf people for nearly a century until around the time of Stokoe's research on ASL.

Really, the amount of history that people should know is abundant, but a lot of it is also very clearly more important to know if you live in a certain area, right?

So you're certain that revolution is impossible, but you're also certain that if there is a "strong middle class" in the future, that you would actually be a part of it?

Well, it seemed like you were saying that if given a choice between more racism and more climate crisis, that you would choose more racism because of how "climate crisis is worse". Don't you think that's at all a weird or uncomfortable thing to say, given how there's a frightening number of people nowadays who genuinely are trying to present "more racism or more climate change" as an actual choice that people will have to make?

"I can excuse racism, but I draw the line at climate crisis!"

"You can excuse racism?"

This is such a fucking scam, Jesus Christ. No wonder my immediate response to this news was "That was a lot sooner than I expected!" — no, it's still gonna be a long time yet before the Brits and Seps will actually concede their rule of Diego Garcia in any meaningful way. This agreement is as good as toilet paper.

I wonder when Lalit is gonna make a statement about this agreement.

It isn't like American elections are in any way real or the government of the United States gives a fuck about the people who live there.

Pfft! Obviously elections in the USA are legitimate. After all, every single US state and electoral district is situated entirely on land that the USA legally annexed, right?

My mental MP3 player in response to this image decided to put on "Blumenkranz" from the Kill la Kill soundtrack

Curiously, the other time I've seen HexReplyBot freak out like this was in a different thread by TankieTanuki, so I think the bot's just racist against tanukis.
