i don’t believe he hasn’t been kennedied yet. unlike the orange cheeto, he doesn’t have the SS protection.

Fun fact: unpopular is not antonym to popular.

Unpopular implies active dislike or hate. Antonym to popular is “not popular”, which also includes stuff that is not actively hated, but simply ignored.

ok, i confused my message by unneccesarilly and incorrectly bringing too narrow meaning of the word antonym into it.

so: unpopular is not the same as largely ignored. just because there is not that many fans of sport on lemmy, being created largely of tech-people, doesn’t mean it is unpopular, as unpopular implies active dislike, which is not the case here.

to save some googling for anyone interested:

so we have so called polar antonyms, such as cold / hot or strong / weak, which do not cover whole spectrum of choices (there is some middle ground between hot and cold).

then we have complementary antonyms, which create two disjunct sets covering whole spectrum. these are basically logical negation.

they are often created by using a prefix from the other word. american / non-american, mortal / immortal, but also entrance / exit.

the terminology also differs between languages, it definitely does between my native language and english.

North Korea is lot further in terms of keeping political power by force. Not that orange cheeto wouldn’t like that, but you guys are nowhere remotely close to that.

They hoped for cheap eggs and open racism.
