White men only make up 31% of the population yet hold 62% of elected offices.
Thats why they're so afraid of DEI. Keep that in mind while they're covering plaques and scrubbing mentions of women and minorities from government websites.
They're the real minority and they don't want you to know.

I was homeschooled between 11-16 due to chronic illness. My mother was my main tutor and she didn't finish secondary school herself. I did, however, make friends with a bunch of furries on the internet, who ended up teaching me grammar. This is the modern day equivalent of being raised by wolves.

Imagine telling someone at work about a loved one who's been in ICU for a month, after something that suddenly affected their health, and this person turn around and tell you it was probably the COVID vaccine. Also apparently they're going to "arrest Bill Gates" in the Netherlands.

My electricity has been off nearly 48 hours. So sucky. Even worse, local municipality (in Jhb, South Africa) still posts to Twitter.

I have learned through experience that if they ask “are you open-minded?” it is best just to say “no.”

I'm hardly active here, just read some stuff occasionally. But yesterday I stumbled onto some random Facebook comments, US right wingers parroting what some other idiot said about the platform being full of pedos.
Just boldly asserting nonsense.

I keep reading how this place is an echo chamber.
As opposed to? The other place with more bots than humans? Or the faceplace with the shrieking bigots, bots everywhere, and suggested content scraper pages drowning out the 2 or 3 friends' posts I still see.
So what? I'll take the echo chamber.
