After checking a few more times I see the blue text “Bilbo” under the blue line, just right from the red one.

I need to sleep, but thank you internet stranger.

Wait, I'm dumb, what's the blue line?

It used to be a word for people who defended Stalin sending tanks to Hungary in the 50s. It caught on in leftist discourse as a word for leftists who excuse illegitimate state violence, domestically and abroad

Correct etymology of the word!

Though on Lemmy, like reddit before it, it's mostly thrown around at anyone who disagrees that the US used to a be radiant light in the world until 2016 or anyone left of Pelosi

LMAO no much worse, it's "leftist I think is crazy", so who is and isn't a "tankie" depends on the person using the word; although it generally means someone who is pro hardcore Communism a la Stalin.

Wait hold up, in Dutch we have glimwormen ("shimmer worms" ) but those don't fly! They're actual bioluminecent worms.

Aren't German Glühwürmchen the same thing?

I thought money to Lemmy (not your instance but the founders) went to a US organisation?

It's still federated so I guess it doesn't really matter much, but still...

hot sauce Netherlands

I'm having a hard time believing they'll be hot, speaking from experience with my fellow Dutch.

Someone is writing in English how the French are talking about the Scandinavians?

It can't get much more European than this!
