    The protests lasted over a month; the massacre ended them in a flood of state-sponsored murder.

        But after an ethnic cleansing and defacing of a sacred native landmark.

        Never seen Mt Rushmore? from this angle before and oh man those heads are so gaudy (not sure if the right term). Like the hubris to ruin nature with faces like this.

        Is there any rationale behind posting this comment outside if you possibly being compulsively fatphobic?

            What quality of this picture compelled you to post it? Is it not that they are fat? What are you implying by it? This is hardly an innocent post, don’t pretend.

            You posted a picture of complete strangers, including children, who for all you know could be the most kind, generous, loving, accepting people you’ve ever met, for no discernable reason than to mock them on their physical appearance.

            This is shameful behavior, shame on you, and shame on lemmy for acting like reddit in its “r/fatpeoplehate” days.
