Can we not have the hundred identical stupid jokes in the comment section like we did in reddit?

As in, you clicked the link I provided, and the link inside that link?
Them and their ridiculous invite only strategy
There is ad supported, ad free and premium. Somehow that's still not enough options for the FOSS extremists.
On a side note, aside from our other ongoing discussion:
I'm a believer that at some point, we need to let go of the origin of things and embrace their current meaning. Language evolves. So do other cultural aspects. Just because something was once offensive doesn't mean it has to be that way forever. And I say this as a PoC.
Why on earth are you focusing so much on the Nazis
Because that's what the entire article you linked was about! Why were you even linking that if you don't agree with what they're saying? It's like you didn't even read it before posting 😓 Fine, dropping the dang article and moving on.
My point, which you haven't actually addressed so far, is that caricature has always been around. Maybe not witches, but other things. Given that, it's extremely western-centric to assert that all caricature today is rooted solely in antisemitism. It has roots far older and further back than that.
At this point I'm not clear what you're trying to say. You're contradicting the article which you linked to yourself. The article states that these imagery only started being associated with the Jews during the Nazi era. You claim otherwise.
I am saying they have their ROOTS in antisemitism
How can caricature, which has been around for millenia, have its roots in antisemitism? Especially in the context of Eastern cultures which couldn't give a shit about Jews and the Holocaust. One century, we were all making fun of each other, but the next century we were copying the Nazis?

Good to know, I was almost hitting that limit
5 figures and counting on Factorio. Do not recommend, gets somewhat repetitive after a while.
Blackface is directly traceable back to slavery, and no earlier. Something as simple as hooked noses or ugly physical characteristics, however? That's universal.
You're probably being downvoted because nobody is drawing any comparisons to the Apollo missions, except yourself. You're defending a point nobody else is making.
The only cost comparison to other space missions I've seen is a one liner from the article which compares it to a current day Falcon launch. Which is a reasonable comparison and data point.
