Middle England Strategy Battle Game is the best and I will not hear otherwise.
Middle England Strategy Battle Games is strong, that’s my firm favourite
It's very strong, but I feel it's not pithy enough whereas Pollhammer is both short and sweet.
Dude your channel rocks glad you’re here lol
Thanks! I try to maintain some explicitly leftist spaces to regain my sanity from the more sweaty groups! If I have to read ‘femstodes’ one more time 😣
Dude I know it’s pure brain rot out there
Pollhammer rolls off the tongue REALLY well.
I don't get the question. Might be a language thing but could someone explain what is being asked?
Hillary Clinton famously said «it’s time to Pokémon Go to the polls» in 2016, the question here is what would be the british warhammer equivalent
Ah thank you very much.
These are pretty good thznks for sharing
USians?
based otherwise though
edit- I was asking because I've never seen that before. American is the demonym for people form the USA because it's the united states of america. same for people from Mexico going by Mexican because it's the United Mexican States.
As in those from the United States. As it’s specifically USA’s Independence Day - not the whole of the Americas.
I know American is the demonym - but it’s also indicative of the US’s assumption that they’re just the default. It’s a linguistic side effect of American Exceptionalism. America is two continents made up of 35 countries yet the US claims ‘American’. USian is both shorthand and a reminder to the US that they’re not all of America :P
right except it's not a side-effect of American Exceptionalism. It's a side effect of the British Empire and the spread of english as a lingua franca.
Britain referred to their settlers and natives as American. That's where the demonym comes from, because when a quarter of the world is ruled by one group, everyone is gonna follow their example. if they say that's what the folks from the 13 colonies are called then that's what they're called. Linguistically, it's like saying the word anti-semite shouldn't be used because Arabians are also Semitic peoples, which will end badly because now whenever you use it you're having to convince everyone to use this new term rather tbd. focus on what you're talking about.
Taking a commonly used word and needlessly complicating it because you don't like its etymology and history is semantics.
also, other languages have terms for americans besides American. the issue is that in the English speaking world it's taught that there are two continents, and thus you're North American or South American. But not everyone teaches that, and so you get arguments
