   Wonder how "Pluto is a planet" correlates with guns, abortion and palestine

     @lain it certainly seems like a wildcard
     
     on the one hand you've got the "this is literally just one org trying to impose its own jargon definition on everyone, and even on its own terms it's such a tenuous and arbitrary definition (you have to prove a negative for it to be a planet) that its widespread adoption would be actively harmful to human knowledge" people
     
     and on the other, the "when i was going to school we had NINE fuckin' planets none of this fancy [slurs] bullshit!!!" people
     
     and there's a thin but nonzero overlap between them
