      Germans

      Mehr als ein Fünftel der Einwohnern in der EU sprechen Deutsch als Muttersprache. Durchwegs zu erwarten also!

      Jedoch sind gar nicht alle deutschsprachige Deutscher! Calling all German-speakers German is like calling all English-speakers American.

      Let me guess. You went to one of the .ml instances and got accused of being “Orientalist” after saying something that someone politically disagreed with?

      Yeah, I still don’t completely understand that crowd. I don’t think that they’re actually shilling, because then they wouldn’t be advocating for North Korea. But there are a lot of people there who are clearly not interested in good-faith discussion. I just decided that it’s not worth dealing with them very early on.

      The !MeanwhileOnGrad@sh.itjust.works crowd is determined to keep plunging in, though.

      liberals

      Ugh I hate how this word is now more associated with economic ideology than social ideology.

      Most of us can be described as liberals. We don’t want any discrimination based on gender, race, sexual orientation etc.

      Can we please go back to using liberals in that sense?

          Liberal and Liberalist are two different terms, though. Very few liberalists are liberal.

          If you support basic human rights, liberalism is diametrically opposed to your thinking. You can’t have human rights if Nestlé is allowed to own all the ground water underneath your village.

          Yeah proper term for people that don’t want to discriminate based on gender, race, or sexual preference should be “normal” anyways.
