TIL Twitter is a courtroom

e: If there were a law in the UK saying "the government can't intervene in health care", and a US citizen filed a suit claiming they had in this case, then there'd be merit in the distinction. But this isn't that. It's one person on Twitter saying "government shouldn't be involved in health care" and another saying "haha you're so dumb you don't even know what the government is" when the two people have different definitions.

If you are commenting on politics in the UK, you should know the British, i.e. relevant, definitions of the terms you're using? That doesn't seem hard. Dragging someone for being an American chauvinist is well deserved mocking of an idiot.

I can't stop looking up Kanye West's tweets and adding this to the end of them but that's not really a problem. "Harvey Levin of TMZ your hearing from your future president. Let's be friends. Please never use the word erratic to describe a person who is economically and psychologically empowered, Liz Lemon!"

Someone is commenting on a legal matter to a lawyer, and being sanctimonious about it. It doesn’t need to be a courtroom for a lawyer to tell a layperson that they are wrong on a legal issue, including legal use of words. Go back and re-read how it started, because you’re also wrong.

Is he saying that Marjorie Merriweather Post never hosted any black people at Mar-a-Lago while it was her private residence (possible, but she was a great patron of the arts so it would have been a bit unusual), or that the National Park Service didn't allow black people there while it owned the property (that seems extraordinarily unlikely)?

The quote in the picture he linked is that Trump had an integrated club in 1995 which as far as I can tell was somewhat progressive of him, but this MAGA chud (What's Spanish for chud, anyone?) has basically assumed that Mar-a-Lago was always a country club and that Trump opened it up to everyone*.

Popular myth from a misinterpreted quote on an MMO forum. There's a Star Wars MMO called The Old Republic that launched with romance options for each class - exclusively straight ones, with a promise that same-sex romances were planned and would be patched in soon after launch (incidentally, they weren't, a few bisexual romance options were added in an expansion years later). A Bioware dev on the forums, responding to people complaining about the absence of gay people in the game, said that people in Star Wars don't call themselves gay or straight, they're simply attracted to who they're attracted to and no one makes a big deal about it.

It isn't a new trend by any means; but lately there's been a big surge of TERFs who loudly proclaim that they have no gender, gender is a tool of the patriarchy to oppress women, only sex matters, trans people totally deserve respect...but only if they stop invading women's locker rooms etc.

So recycling good rhetoric on race into horrific rhetoric on gender. Gross, but clever.
