Imagine being so creatively bankrupt you can’t even draw your own soyjack meme.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 week ago

Nah, it checks out. 32 stars on the flag points to a 9 month period between 1858 and 1859, there were a ton of capotain-wearing Puritans around then. That definitely isn’t a fashion trend as removed from 1858 as we are from 1858!

They were mostly English when they had those hats

The pilgrim fathers fled to the "new world" to escape persecution. They might have been English, but the English didn't want them.

And French, Spanish and Portuguese...

Third one is basically their fault too.

[–] Talentlesssculptor@lemmy.world -3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Technically Hitler's fault, but go off king.

No, not really. A) Zionism predates the Nazi party by quite a bit, and B) it's pretty well documented that a large amount of European countries supported the establishment of Israel so that they could get rid of their Jewish populations, including England who controlled Palestine. The Nazis did not have a monopoly on antisemitism in Europe, I promise you that.

Not to mention that Sykes Picot was the English and French carving up the MENA area with no regard as to who lived there, post WWI.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Yeah I thought about pointing that out, there were a few other players in it but .. yeah, hopefully the English get their shit together one day ..

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Sure, but his American descendants kept the tradition and the excuse alive for centuries after that snazzy hat went out of style.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Well that's true, but there are a few other snazzy hats they could have used that would have aligned better with that flag or a flag similar to it .. I find it odd that religious nutjobs always need a ridiculous hat

White culture of ruining other cultures

Yupp. No other culture has engaged in slavery ever. Hang on...

[–] cosmos8188@leminal.space -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

The art of botching into others peoples business. Narcissism being irresistible to the point where ethics are only right when they are labeled as white.

What does that even mean?
