For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

OP I see this is from Reddit. Post the link or you are a lib.

List of people that definitely shouldn't be there, what the fuck:

  • Aristotle
  • Jefferson (Influential in the US? yeah. Globally? Nah.)
  • Mozart
  • Beethoven
  • Ulysses Grant (how American to have him on the list)
  • Da Vinci
  • Carl Linnaeus
  • Charles Dickens (so many authors. Yeah they were inspirational and influential within the literature scene of their area, so was Katy Perry and the British twink I can't remember the name of anymore. If that's your criteria you gotta expand your cultural horizon beyond Europe and the US. Unironically, if this is your criteria, you gotta put in Akira Toriyama.)
  • Paul the apostle (why not have every pope then?)
  • Benjamin Franklin
  • Thomas Edison (You could make an argument about shaping IP law or whatever, but I won't)
  • so many more. This entire list is a joke.

This entire list is so fucking American as well. Yeah dude every guy who shaped your civic religion is super duper globally influential. Fuck off.

What no materialism does to an mf

Paul the apostle (why not have every pope then?)

They did include The One True Pope Who Destroyed Communism though.
