Does it ever seem stilted to you when people refer to those posters? Because I haven’t noticed that so it seems to me like a non-issue

People are saying it’s a bad idea on “don’t argue at a party” grounds, but that’s missing the point. Is it a good shirt? Does it make you look in the mirror and feel pretty? Or does it look goofy? Does it match the rest of the outfit? You will shame yourself and Stalin by being dweebie but if it looks fashion you will inspire the revolution

It’s awful. And it was a bit sickening at first reading the people grave dancing on Twitter, but looking at any profiles of people doing it really puts it into perspective. Having 1000 utterly talentless 9gag-meme fascentrists hate you is a better testament to importance than the love of all your fellow travellers

It’s a false dichotomy though since the internet used to largely be neither full of trackers nor pay-for, without being a public utility

That’s not a nitter link >:(

Modern convenience means if you don’t buy a month in advance through the third party app you deserve to die

Looked a little more into it, they weren’t actually the very first eaten but were the first (and by some accounts only) to be murdered for the purpose of eating. They both refused to eat human meat before fleeing (they’d been warned their murder was being planned), but were caught up with down the trail a few days later. Shortly after they were butchered the group (a segment of the party that had been sent ahead) that did it were harboured and fed in a Miwok village (the guides having also been Miwok I think). A grizzly tale.

Not related to what you are responding to but just as an interesting symbolic link between the two things you mentioned, iirc the first people killed, butchered and eaten by the Donner party were their native scouts, afterwards mostly erased from the story in popular telling. Just as the homesteaders first ethnically cleansed the native Americans before hunger for more land turned them cannibalistically against each other
