is it bait if i posted it because i thought it was funny

but the title said explicitly the opposite!

sorry consider the bait spread i personally have the opinion that bait inoculation is possible

good way to put it

What’s our over/under for how long until the executive order that conveniently pushes the boundaries of what “illegal” is.

You are unhelpfully combative. DEI factually is a term that has been made a victim of twisting and manipulation. Flickerman was well within their rights to point out that this malformation of meaning has gone so far as to influence the basic grammatical use of the term.

You will notice that Flickerman even gives OP an out, admitting that their misusage of the term might be unintentional, likely skewed by years of propaganda. That is, OP could be entirely innocent and misled.

Therefore, ironically, the individual here who is truly reacting programmatically to seek victimhood, is you. :)

Be sure to read and take seriously the comments here, OP. They are correct. The majority of the media you have consumed about “DEI” was intentional lies to make you believe oligarchs and billionaires were on your side against a constructed enemy.

That enemy isn’t real. The billionaires aren’t on your side. They just wanted to cultivate your anger for personal gain, and for many, unfortunately, that propagandizing was successful.

@WindFarmsofTikTok, the new kind of terrorist, hiding her barely veiled commands to her followers to bomb-threat green infrastructure behind her love of birds :(

excellent answer and analogy, and even more points for not using the useless phrase no true scottsman :) /gen

nor did i. nevertheless that is the premise this hypothetical works under. just being silly and exploring the relationships of these media as an exercise.

and the donkey in the bible was only temporarily vocal in order to speak a specific message to one dude. again, no conclusion to be found here, only to point out that OP is misinformed.

And Shrek is Scottish compared to almost every other fairy tale ogre lol. There is no meaningful point to be made there.

yay! i love the brothers grimm

the brothers grimm literally has a story about a talking donkey anon is a filthy filthy liar https://www.grimmstories.com/en/grimm_fairy-tales/the_donkey

donkey doesn’t tie into any fairytales

The donkey, therefore, was brought up and grew bigger, and his ears grew up beautifully high and straight. He was, however, of a merry disposition, jumped about, played and had especial pleasure in music, so that he went to a celebrated musician and said, “Teach me thine art, that I may play the lute as well as thou dost.” (The Donkey by the Brothers Grimm)

It costs $0 to lie on the internet, reminder.

fair enuf tyy :)

kay this is too many layers of petty for me to respond, i replaced bluesky with mastodon because bluesky isn’t fediverse. upvote or downvote i don’t care.

i’m not the original poster of this and i agree that using “trolling” was a weird choice. if i was still making this myself i might have said “spreading fascist propaganda” or something.

yeah im not really into the rhetoric of this meme either, just wanted to correct the weird “fediverse” misinformation
