I remember seeing a YouTube short about a right winger reading the news story and laughing that the libtards just discovered sailing ships, and the comments all full of people saying like “can’t teach stupid” and stuff like that. But that has nothing it do with it? Like why criticize people for using previous, useful, technologies that have gone unused in the past??? Like the article wasn’t even touting this as a new invention, which it technically is because it’s not just as simple as putting sails on a boat, but their only argument was that it’s mid evil tech and the left is stupid for using it. So frustrating.

Didn’t they trial putting huge kites on tankers years ago? Is that still a thing?

It can take awhile to be in earshot. That’s a lot of time to ponder how sane you’re feeling.
