Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Join 50501.chat to fight back!

Because they didn't have razor wire and chain link fence in 1776.

Don't even get me started on the low-effort BS that Lucas glued that chroma lore together with.

Instead, check out the Radiolab ep on the evolution of rods & cones (title?), and how "blue" is the most recent addition to human vision. It's widely agreed that "red" was one of the first, and how that ties into early religiosity (ie. blood cults, etc.) is super interesting. ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿผ

Humans have always had blue vision. Blue was the last primary colour named

Those two sentences are at odds.

There's not much blue in the world other than sea and sky, and those have their own names

And if you'd taken the moment to listen to said episode, you might be a little more aware of the context โ€” but who expects that of rando anons these days. ๐Ÿซฃ

Yes. Who'd expect a random anon to do more than vaguebooking an episode without links and then using that as "proof".

You utter berk.
