Still traces of the good ol' toxic reddit spirit
I thought that CrunchyJamCreator name sounded familiar. Seems to be one of the 130 accounts I've blocked already.
I honestly feel like the only way to have a nice social media experience is by strictly curating your feed. You can't pay attention to everything anyways so by cutting out the trash you vastly improve the signal to noise ratio. If I see someone posting a stupid comment I open their profile and quickly go thru it to see if they're posting anything of a value. If not I block them and move on.
You are literally a fascist!
(Am I doing this right?)

you cant really expect anything else from chapotraphouse, the reason they're on lemmy (also why lemmy even is a thing to begin with) is because they got banned off reddit together with other far left subs
Oh, that reminds me the discussion I had with two nationalists here in Lemmy. Apparently, unless I pretend that fermented and then distilled sugar cane is "magically" different depending country, I'm assumed to be from a nearby country. The whole thing sounded a lot like "gravity doesn't work on Fridays, and if you say that it does I'm going to pretend that I'm an illiterate and not read it", i.e. typical Reddit lack of character/rationality/decency.
I'm saying this because I've found this behaviour usually peaks when there's a large-ish influx of Redditfugees, then it tones down. So it's likely most the result of recent immigrants; I think that the most obnoxious/Reddit-like ones will end back in Reddit, while the others will learn to not behave like morons.
Rum can be very different regarding the nation is comes from because the various Rhum Agricoles are not made the same way Jamaican rum is made and that is due to laws surrounding production.
For example in Martinique all sugar cane is cut once and then the field is burned and replanted. This means the cane has less wood to it and as a result less wood sugar. In addition you cannot add sugar back into Rhum Agricole to cover faults like you can in most nations.
There can be very distinct differences but those are entirely due to laws and traditions. There is no notion of terroir, that is that the climate and soil provide unique elements, in sugar cane.
You are using arguments. The two nationalists in question weren't; they were simply "chrust me" and then "lalala I'm not listening this contradicts my nationalism lalala". And more importantly because they wanted to claim that you'd spoil a drink by using the wrong type of rum. (As if the sort of rum that you'd use to make drinks wasn't the simplest and most "samey" available - it's a waste to make a drink with the more iconic stuff.)
That's because Im an American with no skin in the game and I have sold booze in some fashion for decades.
Lots of people have weirdly nationalistic ideas with booze.
