Jesus, they're going through and "purifying" all the different government archives. This is gonna do irreparable harm to our knowledge of history. Utterly vile

The fuck ???

It's the name of pilot's mother: Enola Gay Tibbets !!! It has nothing to do with LGBTQRSTwhatever !!!

Yes that's why it's the article.

Enola Sad and Straight

They're also removing pictures of a Medal of Honor recipient from World War 2. His crime? Being Hispanic. Because being Hispanic and being awarded the MoH posthumously is obviously DEI. From that infamous time of DEI awards, 1946.

The Enola Gay is still mildly radioactive, so I can’t help but think “Hot gays in your area ready to bang”

This is just a book burning.

So the snowflakes have reached the banning words stage now, have they?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

So censorship 🤣

If they do this then they should at least be consistent and remove every mention of the words Straight, Bi, Pan and Trans as well

Taking your Biplane for a transatlantic flight, straight to the Panama canal? That's a paddlin

That phrase is an incantation to cause aneurysms in racist grandpas.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder how the fascies will say: "I need a new frying pan"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Transatlantic towards Panama?

We Europeans didn't ban those words.

Transcontinental would work though

Bicycles are banned. Cars are no longer allowed to have transmissions either.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Tran-sport in general is banned. So is all Bi-ology.

Via the Gulf of Mexico.

I just did whatever the opposite of eating the onion is. I assumed this was the onion.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

"Shat the onion"? Naah that doesn't too right either.

I mean, That too.

Why can’t they just rename it Enola Straight?

Though Enola sounds pretty ethnic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Enola sounds pretty close to Ebola... Two reasons to censor this picture!

Have a yabba dabba do time, a dabba do time...

find /mnt/gubarmentfiles/ -name "*gay*" -exec rm {} \;

-- some dogenerate, propably.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

I don't believe that they're even that capable. Probably really on LLMs to write every script for them and don't know whether or not it actually works.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder if this is an example of malicious compliance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Likely it's being done this way to overwhelm anf tire out the activists of all kinds ASAP, then the techbros can build their network states.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Normal country

Normal things are done in it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I’m fine. We’re fine. We’re all fine here. How are you?

"It was a lousy conversation anyway. Chewie, we're gonna have company!"
