Weโ€™re gonna do the stupid โ€œfreedom friesโ€ thing again, arenโ€™t we?

For some, probably. For the rest of us it'll just be another indicator to quickly learn what kind of creature you're talking to.

On one hand, itโ€™s really nice having so many highly apparent litmus tests for โ€œis the person Iโ€™m talking to a fucking psychoโ€.

On the other hand, thereโ€™s evidently an absolute shitload of fucking psychos around.

What is the stupid "freedom fries" thing and how does it compare to the current situation?

What I know of "freedom fries" seemed to me an inconsequential little bit of cosmetic chauvinism, while the current status of things is that the US have decided to strongly oppose Europe in both economic and geopolitical terms.

I was simply making commentary on how that was an early example of the nationalist โ€œFUCK YOU! โ€˜MURRICUH!!!โ€ vibe thatโ€™s now been turned up to 11 ๐Ÿซ

Iโ€™m nostalgic for when the worst thing right-wing reactionaries did was rename french fries something stupid.

This is the dumbest timeline.
