As a lover of history i hate that the right has taken ownership of the Gadsden flag.
Yeah it used to be flown proudly by slavers and genocidal conquerers.
Go on and enlighten me with more to your statement.
Lol, some history enthusiast. Here's just a little taste, because you're clearly completely ignorant of my very obvious reference. I mean, if you weren't, that'd make you a willfully ignorant bootlicking simpleton just repeating a phrase he heard other people say or something.
I guess I couldn't have expected a quality answer such as the following, but I did brush up on the few paragraphs you linked to. Not much substance in your subsection.
Ok slaver simp ~
Heh. Nice try bud.
So about the Ohio pet eating, the first thing that made me ❌ Doubt is that we (folks in western civilization) eaten cats before, and they are desperation food world wide. Captured cats turned into food was called roof rabbit during the London blitz. There's little meat to bone, and reports say it's extremely gamey. Even scavengers will pass on kittens if they're not desperate.
There are some Asian cultures that eat dog, which is a regional food in some parts of China, what is a product of living in a region where wild dogs (such as dholes) dwell and prey on children and wildlife. But this isn't a food of choice, nor one for which they'll hunt pets unless they're desperate (in which case, some blame has to fall on social services for letting people go hungry), and there are markets for dog that has been specifically bred to be eaten, which is different from fancy dog breeds we are used to.
The local wildlife such as Florida's alligators, or California's coyote population (coyotes lurk everywhere across the US) are often that desperate and will totally eat your pets or livestock, so if Mr. Bitey goes missing, that's your culprit in the rurals. In the meantime law enforcement in the United States will indiscriminately kill dogs, with officers afraid of even chihuahuas and toy terriers. The police kill rate for dogs averages around 50,000 dead pooches a year.
A conservative meme? In my 196? Its more likely than you think.
Is this a conservative meme? I thought it was poking fun at Trump's "there eating your pets" statements from the debate
Definitely has all the hallmarks of something we would think is sarcastic, and conservatives would share in earnest.
Not even Poe's Law, there just isn't any real sarcasm present.
I thought it was related to the lemmy.world vegan shitpost spree
I keep seeing this being shared, but I have no idea what it means. I know it's similar to "Don't tread on me".
convicted felon Trump said in a TV Debate with USAs Vice President Harris, that illegal immigrants were eating the pets of people living in a town called "Springfield" in some state of the usa, which name i've forgotten.
I know that. But is the flag actually implying that this is happening, or is the cartoonish depiction of the cat meant to be tongue in cheek?
In a post in this community? I'd think tongue in cheek.
Seriously, he confused Simpsons with reality?
No, "Springfield" is a very common town name (especially one founded not on a body of water or river but in a field with springs), which is why The Simpsons selected it. May as well have been "Anytown, USA".
Anyways, the hoax of Haitian immigrants eating cats was supposedly happening in Springfield, Ohio. It's baseless but that is what Trump fell for, not a Simpsons sketch or anything like that.
The Simpsons are getting weak, they didn't predict this one
i am not aware of a simpsons episode where someone tried to eat pets.
he might have thought of Alf, who is known for trying to eat a cat.
