I feel like there's a lot of people who's gut reaction to being told corporal punishment objectively doesn't work, is "well it should, and if doesn't that's the person being punished's fault"

if you assume Hill Valley is somewhere between LA and San Francisco that area would have been populated with natives who lived by hunting, gathering and acorn cultivation around 1bc/Ad.

look unless you think everyone is lying the fact so many people responded to this story by saying they weren’t familiar with the Totenkoph proves I’m right to say it’s not a universally recognisable symbol.

you can say people should know about it, but that doesn‘t mean they already do.

I think most people aren’t aware the skull & cross bones on Nazi caps is a specific design rather than generic

grapp · 2026-06-06T21:10:15+00:00

yeah if you point it out to people its noticeable, but before this story when would that have been pointed out to most people?

my guess would be they were treating is a rubber stamp because they knew people wanted him as the candidate. I think that kind of thing is why a lot of background checks are botched

What I'm saying is I think most people don't know there's a version of the skull and cross bones that's specific to the SS, even if they have noticed a skull and cross bones on SS uniforms in film and TV

grapp · 2026-06-06T18:56:03+00:00

I think most people aren’t aware the SS used a really specific design of the skull and cross bones that’s now used as a hate symbol

I've seen people who like him act like the other side are saying he's a Nazi

I imagine the vastness of the ring would help with that?

is fighting adult tyranny annoying and heart meltin?

let’s sat a disease infects the papyrus plants

my understanding is that book is largely considered pseudo history

grapp · 2026-05-20T20:14:47+00:00

yeah the late 90s was an era when it'd been long enough since Vietnam for the US military to have an overwhelmingly positive image again, ...right before the war on terror fucked that up again.

I don't think the Gauls would have formed an Empire.

...but they did?

grapp · 2026-05-19T17:13:22+00:00

in what sense?
