I don't understand though.

I don't block anyone or any instance and the tankies are barely a problem I notice.

They represent a fringe group that gets downvoted to hell whenever they open their mouth.

I really don't understand this perception that Lemmy is a tankie cult.

However, Israel is a genocidal state, WTF does this have to do with the other things mentionned? It's the mainstream view.

I was wondering how a truck could possibly slice a deer in half. The only sort of damage I could imagine from an impact at high speed was more like torn apart or mangled, unless it had like literally a blade welded at the front.

There's a video inside showing the damages on the vehicule (not the deer, it's safe to watch — there's only a few drops of blood). Turns out the impact caused a metal piece to turn and expose a sharp edge, which probably caused said slicing.

English-speakers are really unlucky to have one of the most ambiguous word for situations where the need for clarity is of such great importance, especially as it concerns safety, even saving lives.

It would be quite strange and funny for someone to post something in the wrong community and then use their alt account to point it out.

I understand that Republicans are racist and use racism as a weapon. But "tan is an unserious color" is the kind of context I was looking for and helps me understand what they're even basing their attack on. Thanks!

I want to make clear that I totally understand that there's a clear double standard, as there's always is with Democrats, moreso if there're not white.

But also thanks, the "used car salesman" thing is the kind of context I was looking for. It doesn't justify it but helps me understand what they're even basing their criticism on.

I'll never understand explorers and colonial leaders' tendency to kidnap natives.

In my region, Jacques Cartier did this to friendly people for no fucking good reason and naturally caused them to turn hostile and it caused the failure of France's earliest colonization attempt.

This article needs to give some cultural context. I read it all and I still don't understand why there was a controversy.

Is it because tan is considered less formal?
