Also, it’s a lie that crime in Arizona is at an all-time high.

In theory he can be impeached.

In practice, he can’t be impeached.

…why, unless video games are for children…?

That homeless gentleman is in…real good shape.

Don’t think anyone is saying it doesn’t work. Context here specifically is that many people hate having to do it.

Do what? The source you linked stated it was about a white (U.S.) southerner and a black child. What “indigenous” person do you think is depicted here…?

Edit: original comment said this was about a “colonist” and an “indigenous person”.

Not a slave either.

It wasn’t. It was a term - frequently sarcastic eventually, as in this cartoon - used to describe the “noble” behaviors of southerners.

Here’s an article from the time on it, talking about how the rumored “southern chivalry” was anything but: www.historians.org/…/southern-chivalry

As someone else.mentioned, a form of it became “southern hospitality” and survived, usually in the complimentary way.

I’m being a little technical, but I think it’s important. He/she would have been either an ex-slave, or a child of slaves, or just in general an African most likely. But definitely not “a slave”.

Maybe, but I don’t think so, at least not directly. I can’t find a source, though.

I just think the concept of Knights and Arthurian stuff was popular, and they just both came from the same general popular ideas, instead of one coming from the other.

Parent comment was useful. Yours is just childish.

That second one.

The knee-jerkiness and low effort “feels” comments on Lemmy sometimes is worse than it ever was on Reddit. It’s really exhausting.

Ironically I find that the same people that complain about clickbait headlines are some of the worst when it comes to falling for rage-bait, for outrage addiction, not bothering to read articles, comment almost entirely off of “feels”, etc.

So much unrealized potential with the character…

I mean, generally rules at least are to strongly discourage people from doing a thing, or to lead to things that WOULD prevent people from doing a thing.

A purely conceptual rule by itself would not magically stop someone from doing a thing, but that’s kind of a weird way to think about it.

Thanks for your efforts Elias!

I guess my unpopular opinion is that I don’t think that’s a very good song :)
