Facts are important, stop whitewashing history

The term indiginous wasn’t even used in the English language until the late 1500s, it was literally created for this purpose. Sorry homie, you are wrong, and the English language, by definition, agrees with the timeline of colonization with respect to the definition of native/indigenous people.

Sure, you can use those terms symanticlly to go all the way back in time, but with respect to world history, the “era of colonization” was between the 15th century and 1960. And native/indigenous people were the people that existed in their respective regions before the 15th century. By definition.

Natives are pre-colonization, by definition

Per Debretts, it has been this way since at least the 1700s, not an “American” thing as you suggest. I’m starting to think this is just another social issue used to divide America, ie propaganda used to control people. And if it is purely preference in etiquette, what are you complaining about? The person sending the letter are allowed to exercise their etiquette preferences as well, right? Or do you also want to control people? Is this all just the fascists on the right vs the facisists on the left? This is how people like Trump rise to populisim, and how freedom and democracy die.

Absolutely disgusting rhetoric you are pushing. My wife is my partner, and vice versa. The prefix works in both directions, with wither mu surname or my wife’s surname.

Absolutely wrong, this is how the language works. I am my wife’s Mr as well, even with her maiden name.
- Comment on Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name) 1 month ago:
Absolutely not, it applies in either direction, universally. I am Mr (wife) (wife’s maiden name), this is how the language works. Why is this offensive to YOU?
- Comment on Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name) 1 month ago:
Yes, it is actually!
- Comment on Mail addressed to Mr. and Mrs. (husbands name) 1 month ago:
It is the most correct way. Even if she didn’t take your name, and even if your not married, she is your Mrs. Not sure why this would be infuriating, it’s the language.
- Comment on Was Trumps "booming economy" proof that "trickle down" policy actually works?? 2 months ago:
Trump/Pence did nothing more than ride the Obama/Biden economic trajectory, until they bungled their Covid response and crashed the economy, then printed and gave away so much money that inflation ran out of control.

I have a T-Mobile Revvel as a backup, it has it on the power button. Actually a decent freebe 5G phone, no complaints

Kamala literally voted in favor of opening new fracking leases, so kinda hard to claim this.

Half of America wants a fascist state, unfortunately.
