sometimes i feel that effort put into wikipedia to help educate people is totally wasted when i see posts like this
Why do the most awful people on earth happen to be all white? lmao
meh, even in my really good school we didn't learn much world history at all except what related to the US. my world history class was just ancient civilizations, middle ages/rennaissance, how the US slave trade connected globally, then the world wars.
Saltmin could have Googled but yeah American history education is just that bad.

Tbh I only donate to the dom bank during versus conquest pushes. I store my hundreds of fodder, sell off super cheaply to the active exalters in my flight, then give those funds to the dom bank so I can feel like I'm doing something, even if super low-key.
I'm seething quietly over it tbh... if they'd just said no politics, sure, it would have been totally fine. But they specifically said you CAN talk about the queen's death, but only respectfully because it's "sad." Imagine if they said we couldn't celebrate Trump or Bush's death or something and instead only had to talk respectfully about it. Super fucked.
i shouldn't be surprised that saltmin is an oblivious, privileged american but it's still pretty funny. it's like all of their past behaviors suddenly make sense.
Light Discord said something similar but to my interpretation it more boiled down to "please no Lizzie talk or memes because it breaks FR TOS on politics" - does anyone have the actual Plague announcement on hand? I can try to grab the Light one later if people want it and someone else hasn't by then.
@/everyone Hiya pups,
Today’s announcement is a sad one. If you haven’t looked at world news today, you may want to so you don’t find out massive geopolitical news from a Flight Rising server.
The Queen of England has passed away.
We understand that many of you won’t care about this, but to protect those who do find this death sad, we must ask that no memes about her death be posted. None. Not even the one that you think is actually funny.
If you wish to have a conversation with someone about her death and the effect it will have, please take those outside the server into DM’s and/or group chats.
We are not going to ban mention of her death, but please be respectful if you do.
This will affect many people in more ways than you think.
Thank you all for understanding, and we hope you are all doing well.

Guys, stop reacting with the crab. It’s not appropriate, thank you.

We are removing the crossed out british flag react
Anyone who still re-adds this react after the mods have deleted it will be receiving a strike
"This will affect many people in more ways than you think."
they should tell that to the millions of generations that have been affected in the queen's reign but bootlickers are selfish

American school world history classes suck. They turn it into the America show, starring America and guest starring the rest of the world. You should have seen World war 2 as I was taught it. The queen is just an unimportant figurehead and nothing more and has been for years as I was taught.
I'll be honest, I don't know shit and it hasn't impacted me, which is why I'm staying quiet and letting people who feel like it meme and do their thing. I will never truly understand it like they do, no matter how much I read. I assume they feel the same way I will when some of our shitstain politicians die.
Mind, I've seen some pretty awful shit, but I'm only reporting it when folks take it to politics/current event free spaces. Because those spaces exist for a reason.

Okay, that is the most tone-deaf thing I've seen so far.
is it *actually* necessary for flight discords to follow FR's no politics rule? bc water flight's discord does have an (opt-in) current events channel and it doesn't seem to be an issue.
i would def be interested in seeing the light flight announcement if you get a chance to grab it later!

yeah that's such a dumb thing to say lol like no shit
I used to donate a lot more, but i've tapered off over the past few years. I feel like i should feel bad about it, but i just don't have the spoons to.
I suspect FR wouldn't ban a flight discord from the site like they probably would for a porn channel.
But the opt in channel you have to contact the mods to enter is a nice way to keep the general public able to avoid if they choose.

why are so many people getting mad over us making fun of a cousin-loving, racist imperialist? name like 3 good things she's done to better the world lmfao
white people are inbred and get insecure when they're called out on it
I laughed out loud at the addendum about the crab react.
People are literally unable to feed their kids and will likely freeze to death in the winter because the parasitic monarchy isn't using their wealth to pay for the funeral, but is using tax payer money.
But sure, no being happy about her death bc some fuckin Britaboo might be sad :((((

I really don't understand why people raised their hackles over the OOF raffle prizes and payouts being "underwhelming" because it's not like they were in dire need of support for a fest push. They didn't even *have* to make a OOF raffle in the first place and they'd still get the dom.
If they hadn't raised their payouts, they very well could have had issues from folks exalting for themselves. It took fire a fair bit to knock down Earth Sunday, and they were buying dragons off the AH with personal funds to do it.
Profit exalters won't quit exalting just because someone won't make it worth their while. They'll just exalt to their own flight. And there's a lot of those in Earth, combined with flight size bonus.
You can say they don't have to all day long. Folks don't have to support them and they'll have work that much harder to get their festival week. No one will push that week, but lack of competition isn't a sure win.

Caucasian hands typed this post lol
What's funny is Canadian history classes (or at least the ones I had, can't speak for the whole country) are very similar in this aspect. Somehow even though she was our queen too we didn't learn shit about her or any other country's roles in recent history and literally just talked about Canada's role in the war of 1812, WWI/II, etc. Everything else I know about history, I learned from books and youtube because I sure wasn't going to learn it from my teachers.
has been hawking all of SMR lately. I want to read without seeing their whiny barf in the comments. Bitch assumes every A in Earth is them too. ugghhh this my first world problem for real.
