I know this is a PEMDAS joke, one of many for the PEMDAS throne.

But yeah, we need to really, really worry about the coming day when "math becomes a democracy" and that is already happening for a wide array of other facts and knowledge about the world.

Whatever "civility politics" liberals infested our collective minds with have to be abandoned. We have to get a lot harder and a lot less tolerant of other people's "beliefs" even if you think "Well they're only harming themselves by thinking 1x1=4" but they're not, we need to start viewing these people as threats to our future. We no longer live in isolation, whatever bullshit your parents drove into you about "nothing on the internet being real and shouldn't matter" was utter hogwash and even less relevant in 2025/2026. We get everything from the internet, including a sense of community and connection, which is why nutsoids find each other and turn something like a joke about earth being flat into an entire anti-science movement.

If you've ever seen those dumb sci-fi shows or movies where science if forbidden and people caught learning science are punished, and thought "that's so unrealistic" well I have some real bad news for you.

But if enough people are doing it wrong, that means it’s common usage, and therefore it’s right!
