This July 4th, let's remember that unfair economic treatment was a major cause of the American Revolutionary War. Our revolt has this much in common. ( kbin.social )

This is a reach.

This is the second time I've seen something on kbin trying to dress the reddit migration to the Fediverse up as some hugely patriotic thing.

We don't need that, we don't benefit from it. This is how you create demagogues. Don't infuse nationalism into the Fediverse. That is super problematic and I think you're going to be in for a rude awakening when you see how much more European the Fediverse is than reddit was.

Yeah as a non American I have to admit I find this super weird.

We did not win control over Reddit in a war with Spez. We are not Reddit. The analogy doesn't make any sense.

As an incredibly patriotic American, I also find this super weird. Even if the analogy did make sense, it's just such a weird comparison.
