      It’s not though. That’s a myth. It was created by latine nonbinary math nerds on old internet message boards. Since they were math nerds, they used x to represent a variable that could be anything. They only designed it for use on message boards, they never thought about how to pronounce it. You’re allowed to think those latine geeks did a bad job, but calling them English speakers is factually incorrect.

      feels like

      That’s exactly what it is, so that’s an accurate feeling.

      I literally dislike leftists just for the fact that they tried to fk with my Latino culture with their degeneracy.

        They aren’t trying to mess with the culture for “degeneracy”. They were well meaning when making the Latinx term, it just happens that everyone seems to hate it.

          We were in Afghanistan trying to change their diet (promoting soy products), $34M down the drain. And the U.S.-Afghanistan Education Collaboration was nothing more than to bring Western degeneracy to the female’s education system. Hence why the Taliban temporarily banned females from going to school until they cleaned up the filth that America attempted to implement into their education system.

          Where ever Western world powers go, they bring degeneracy (democracy) with them, by force.

          In the future, the Global South will give the Western World a big middle finger for what has been done to them all in the name of democracy.

            Soybeans are an excellent crop for increasing protein, and one we know well. Malnutrition is a huge issue in Afghanistan - cultural considerations are fundamentally a secondary issue to starving children.

            And please, take some time to expand on what filth the US was teaching girls. Let me guess, anything non-religous that teaches them that they have more value beyong their sex and ability to produce children?

            And please, describe how the Taliban has successfully reimplemented any liberal, STEM, or non-religous instruction.

              $34M would have been best used for things like animal husbandry and keeping their cultural diet intact instead of trying to make them ingest something foreign to them.

              I think you should take the time to check how many universities exist in Afghanistan and the fact that… GASP! There’s female politicians, scientists, doctors, surgeons, teachers, etc… etc… etc…

              Good little liberal, typical racist ignorant bs. That’s one thing you liberals have in common with the low IQ conservatives… your ignorance shines brighter than the sun.
