I think there is above 50 cities named “Villeneuve” in France (literraly meaning "New City)

Shapillon,

Or Villefranche which means it was exempted from taxes.

Or how there are so many “St Something” that they had to add “de somewhere” to disambiguate lmao.

I’ve lived in 3 different places all named St Etienne.

In my more conspiratorial moments I wonder if social media driven social justice is encouraged by the elites to keep us fighting over whether the movies have enough gay/Black/trans actors, critical race theory, trans bathrooms etc so that inequality and serious change never come up meaningfully.

Were I one of the wealthy elite, I could think of no better ally in the fight to support the status quo than twitter social justice.

To be clear, I think most of those folks are doing what they believe is right and I generally agree but it also creates a giant schism between Left and Right when it should be about Haves and Have nots.

Sotuanduso,

Occupy Wall Street was 2011.

I took Google Ngrams with some various terms around social justice, set smoothing to 0, and sorted the outcomes. Feel free to verify; I’m no expert.

Tested terms (alphabetical order): Bigot, Bisexual, Black, Cisgender, Civil Rights, Critical Race Theory, Discrimination, Diversity, Empowerment, Equality, Equity, Gay, Gentrification, Hate Speech, Heterosexual, Homosexual, HRT, Human Rights, Identity Politics, Inclusive, Inequality, Intersectionality, Lesbian, LGBT, Liberation, Marginalize, Microaggression, Oppression, Privilege, Racism, Representation, Social Justice, Solidarity, Systemic, Transgender

I certainly didn’t sort them perfectly. I don’t want to tell you what to think, but I will say that I was pretty sure of this theory before running this test, and though I feel the evidence supports it, it wasn’t as strong as I thought.

ITT: weirdly a lot of people assuming that Grandpa votes Republican based on nothing besides his age and love of guns

whostosay,

If you were in a casino, and you had to place a bet on it, we know where your bet would be as well.

Classy,

Dude looks and acts exactly like my great grandfather who served in the navy kn WWII. He was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and hated Republicans until he died in 2017.

Knightfox, (edited )

… So was my great grandfather, but he was an old school Southern Democrat, he even voted straight ticket. I’d be willing to bet he wouldn’t be fond of modern Democrats.

People forget that the Democrats of the early 1900s aren’t the same as today. Remember that Republicans are the party of Lincoln, but I wouldn’t be surprised if modern Republicans wanted to bring back slavery.

intensely_human,

Is that what the republicans you’ve asked have said?

half of germany was with the allied forces in WW2, Russia was with the allied forces as well…a lot of people have forgotten that.

The nazi side of WW2 is now known as the “axis” forces…I don’t know what they called themselves during the war. Italy, Ukraine, the nazi half of germany and a few others.
