the guy in the infamous ‘crying Indian’ environmentalist PSA was a genuinely deranged white man who had started pretending to be Native to advance his acting career, but eventually convinced himself it was actually true, to the point that he spoke Navajo almost exclusively and lived on the reservation, despite not having a drop of actual indigenous ancestry

The famed ‘Cherokee’ writer who wrote The Education of Little Tree, which my full-blood grandmother absolutely loves, was also a white Pretendian, except in his case he was an actual Klansman and former segregationist politician whose race faking was part of a scheme to fake his own death and reinvent himself

in 1993, the producers of star trek: voyager hired a "native american cultural consultant" who was in fact a white dude who made up whatever bullshit sounded cool

dude had been exposed by actual natives in the 80s. however, the mainstream media didn't notice or care, and kept funneling him money and praise forever. he died in 2001, to a flurry of "noted Blackfoot author dies" obits in the big papers

lol

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

this is just an effect of going from a job where you sign your name once in a while to a job where your core responsibility is "sign your name on documents all day"

Maybe, that’s what it looks like is happeneing for Nixon but the Trump progression seems like it would involve more effort to do the jagged signature. Like you’d really have to grip the sharpie tight and jerk it back and forth … Maybe its a side effect of all the pseudoephedrine he was taking

If you do all the moves excessively for the camera you'd end up more jagged, no?

he probably saw a bunch of other presidents signatures on stuff in the whitehouse from like 200 years ago, couldn't read them, and thought that was the appropriate way to do a fancy signature

like there are far too many strokes in his last name there for it to actually say "trump", a 5 letter word

Also when you're signing president things you have to use like 20 pens for merch reasons (itself a funny politics) and its easier to do tjat with straight lines

Canada had Grey Owl, who was eventually played in a movie starring Pierce Brosnan. It was made into a Canada Heritage Minute and it was pretty wild to see one of those with James Bond.

They literally do not want to think.

Religion told them "Here is the answer, adhere to this and you will never need to use your brain ever again. Follow this script and life will basically be on autopilot."

So some kids make a silly joke at the expense of their god and they are thrown into a fit of rage. "How dare you even suggest that I should use my brain? Don't you know this entire world belongs to me and my cult of a dead guy from 2000 years ago? No one has any right to activate my neurons, now I am driven toward basal violent instincts!"

OP society has moved on and we're saying things like this but about the wokesters.
