When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
Posting guidelines.
All posts in this community have come from elsewhere, it is not original content, the poster in this community is not OP. The person who posts in this community isn’t necessarily endorsing whatever the post is talking about and they are not looking to argue with you about the content in the post.
You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here. I consider debate/discussions to be civil; people with different opinions participating in respectful conversations. It becomes an argument as soon as someone becomes aggressive, nasty, insulting or just plain unpleasant. Report argumentative comments, then ignore them.
There is currently no rule about how recent a post needs to be because the community is about the comeback part, not the topic.
Rules:
• Be civil and remember the human.
• No trolling, insults or name calling. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone.
• No bigotry of any kind, including homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
• You are welcome to discuss and debate any topic but arguments are not welcome here.

• Try not to get too political. A lot of these posts will involve politics, but this isn’t the place for political arguments.
• Participate in good faith - don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguements sake.
• Mark NSFW posts if they contain nudity.
• Satire is allowed but please start the post title with [satire] so other users can filter it out if they’d like.
Please report comments that break site or community rules to the mods. If you break the rules you’ll receive one warning before being banned from this community.
This community follows the rules of the lemmy.world instance and the lemmy.org code of conduct. I’ve summarised them here:
- Be civil, remember the human.
- No insulting or harassing other members. That includes name calling.
- Respect differences of opinion. Civil discussion/debate is fine, arguing is not. Criticise ideas, not people.
- Keep unrequested/unstructured critique to a minimum.
- Remember we have all chosen to be here voluntarily. Respect the spent time and effort people have spent creating posts in order to share something they find amusing with you.
- Swearing in general is fine, swearing to insult another commenter isn’t.
- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia or any other type of bigotry.
- No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies.

No, can confirm there are far too many people this ignorant. I work with a good number of them. I'm in North Georgia, and some of these people literally can't find themselves on a map of the United States and believe the English folks stole English from the Americans...
That's just crazy to me. Remembers me one time I was in Canada, and we were visiting a museum with First Nation People depicted.
A woman I was with asked me "So, do you also have First Nations in Europe?"
Well...
We have the Sami in Sweden/Norway/Finland/Russia.
They where treated like shit here as well... not genocide bad, but forcefull eradication of culture/language/religion during the 20th century bad.

Yup, Sweden drank the "race biology" kool aid.
Did a lot of nasty shit to mentally disabled people too, like giving them super sticky candy to study the effects of sugar on tooth decay.

Interesting, thank you for this!
No problem!
If you're interested you can read up on them here
Maybe the Basque are sorta culturally first nations. The language they speak is not related to any other language spoken in Europe. It’s the only surviving language that descended from pre-indo-European languages of prehistoric Europe.
I mean, current Basque people are descendants of the original Basque people it's not like someone arrived from another continent and slaughtered them.
About the language, there are a few other non Indo-European languages: Finnic languages (including Finnish, Estonian) and Ugric languages (Hungarian)

Yes. I am a sami, what you would call "first nation". There are many, many other kinds of indigenous peoples here in the Nordics
I'm very passionate about the Sami and very interested in their culture. There's no doubt they are a historically oppressed people and indigenous to Sapmi.
But let's be rigorous here. They weren't in Europe before everyone else like the First Nations in Canada. The Sami arrived in Europe, from the Urals in the 2nd millenium BC. By this time the Indo-Europeans and their languages were already spreading through Europe. The Neolithic farmers who mixed with the Indo-Europeans were there since the 7th millenium BC. The hunter gatherers they mixed with...were there since before the last ice age.
You could make the case that the Basques are our first nations. That would be true of their language and culture. But the fact is, genetically, they are pretty much the same as their neighbors due to millenia of intermixing and contact.
That's why we don't call ourselves "first nation". We're indigenous people
There've been people in Sapmi for at least 10 millennia.
Maybe, but not Sami people.
Ok I looked a bit further, the evidence for the first inhabitants of the region being ancestors of the Sami is based on linguistic studies with other Uralic languages. But it's far from direct evidence. I always assumed it was based on archeological evidence.
I live in Seattle but I hail from the atl metro, I can confirm this is not uncommon, my mother asked me where Canada “ended” yesterday… she thought it was just above nyc
My sister-in-law said she couldn't have mayonnaise because she was intolerant to dairy.
People are just dumb these days.
