Oh shit, a balanced, nuanced take on a complex issue. Quick, get the Americans out of of here, they won't be able to handle this.
I mean they just elected the dude by a pretty wide margin. It sounds like some of us at least are fine with nuance.
There are a lot of parts of the country that cannot of course
#notallburgers
#notallburgers?
Why burgers?
"Burger" is a 4chan ethnic slur for an American
Yeah, but why no tall ones?
No! Bigger burgers need to be wide not tall! I don't wanna unhinge my jaw like a snake to get a proper bite!
Hah! Loved this!
Ah yep that'd do it.
This is what you get when you elect a lunatic extreme leftist anti-fascist super socialist politic. Enjoy your hell hole. /s
Nuance to lemmy is like deodorant to a hippie.
Ok boomer
I see why so many have you blocked. Following suit. But please- feel free to continue your childish insults.
The complete lack of self awareness is just an amazing touch.
Plenty of Americans can handle nuance. But cool bigotry though
Things are tense here, for sure, but you gotta take a deep breath and step back from it and know when the joke isn't a direct attack on you (unless it is), and try not to cheapen words like bigotry by defensively applying it to an arguably accurate depiction of many Americans. Don't prove their joke by missing the nuance yourself.
Turns out that prejudice is harmful even if it isn't negative, or even about you in particular.
At least, that's what we've been saying about racial prejudice for a long time. Dunno when we forgot about that.
Yeah, I hate this idea that suddenly it's okay to judge people as a group of millions if the "conditions are right". That opens a door we should want to keep closed
It's still pretty shitty to judge an entire population and paint them with one generalized brush, no matter how you frame it. You assume my annoyance is personal but it's not.
Well, I'm an American and I thought it was funny.
Maybe if the tone were right I'd agree but I read it as angry snark, not as a joke
Explain that.
Probably because it's super fucked up and you'd be banned. Cool
someone needs a nap
whoever upvoted that kilometered comment probably has the same mindset jsyk, so thats an opportunity for some mods
Thanks buddy. I love you too.
Not many on lemmy can though.
Proving the point. As an American, let me just say: chill.
As a world citizen I say: people in every country are every given attribute and we don't need to pretend anyone is inferior to others, as op and people like them always seem eager to do.
