Because the problem isn’t gone. Their opinions haven’t changed, they are just finally seeing personal impact from them. These people are going to fall for the same stupid shit another Trumpalike touts in 2032. They need intensive reeducation, not to be welcomed and treated like nothing happened.

Hummus.

Fair enough, I learned some things today. I was under the impression that indigenous languages were a lot more normalized than they actually are. I still think that using more indigenous language in everyday stuff is low-key a win, but for it to be commericalized while denying it elsewhere is just a slap in the face.

Enh, it’s at least a little more complicated than that. Native or mestizo people are much more common in Mexico than the US. For example, Nahuatl has somewhere between 1.3 and 1.7 million speakers, mostly in Mexico. This is not counting over a dozen other languages that have hundreds of thousands of speakers apiece (wiki. By comparison, in the entire US there were only about 372,000 people that speak any indigenous language.

Depending on how you want to look at it, this could be just…a normal name, or even a tribute to the Nahuatl community. Or just a cynical attempt to sell more cars by looking inclusive. How many people need to speak a language before it’s ‘normal’, after all? We don’t go asking Italians before we put stuff in Latin. Or the Irish before we sell St Paddy’s Day shirts. Etc.

The chat built into my hospital’s charting software has the ‘thumbs up’ react so you can quickly and easily show that you’ve read it. So for me it just means ‘heard’, ‘roger’, etc.

I’ll be honest, Russia invading Israel would be a real, “Let them fight” moment.

No? If I ACTUALLY wanted to ride out through some sort of apocalypse, a bunker ain’t gonna cut it. I would bankroll and actively participate in a fully self-sustaining off-the-grid community. Rich people always forget the second part, probably because they are psychopaths. Remember that article where they were asking about putting shock collars on their bunker security guys? If they literally just got beers with them once a week, they’d probably shoot all the migrants you ask them to. It’s an irony that they consider their time ‘too valuable’ for that, as it turns out that the one thing you can’t buy is a sense of community.

Of course, I would endeavor to not own several billion dollars of stolen property in the first place, but different strokes.
