  • Unfortunately, the only way to kick tankies out of 196 is to get 196 out of Lemmy. Because Lemmy is being developed by two tankies themselves, with a third one about to join. And because despite being defederated from hexbear and lemmygrad, lemmy.ml is still a free roam place for tankies from those two cesspool places. So, either defederate yourselves from lemmy.ml (nobody would do that), or fork lemmy into a new clean place (not impossible, but difficult to perform), or do as beehaw will do soon.

    But English, being a de facto universal language, has good creativity to invent new words, either from native speakers or from foreign influences. For example, the word “D’oh” didn’t exist until Homer Simpson (Dan Castellaneta) popularized it. And I think the word “meme” didn’t exist either 40 or 50 years ago.

    I think a good way to know that is to read newspapers from 100 years ago or older, and see how people from US were called.



  • Whether it’s one continent or two, the point is that it’s bigger than the United States. At least I’ve always studied that Americans are people who live in America, either from Canada, United States, Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina… Then you can divide them between North Americans and South Americans.
