To be fair, there’s are way too many people who freak out if you put your tree up “too soon” or take it down “too late” for their personal taste. These may be the same people who worry about who’s sleeping with who, while none of affects them.

I’m sure I’m out of the loop on your joke, but it sounds exactly like something a Lumon rep would say on Severance.

Who are they going to blame for “paid actors” when Soros (age 94) is gone?

They want to arrest “the people funding this”, but what if nobody is? Is it so hard to believe people are just generally upset with what’s going on and are capable of organizing without a rich boogeyman leading them? It’s weird to think that only money can motivate.

It’s sad to see you have such low comprehension skills, if you think I’m defending it. I do hope you get better. EDIT: Holy shit, your comment history. Please seek professional help.

Condoning or condemning atrocities has rarely been about the race, nationality, religion, etc. of who was harming or being harmed. Whoever is in power at the time decides what is condoned or condemned.

20th century Jews were at the mercy of a seemingly-unstoppable German force. Now that Israel are largely in charge of the immediate region, they set the tone, forgetting what had been done to their ancestors.

Americans weep and gnash teeth over foreign atrocities while standing on the blood of Indigenous people their powerful ancestors were perfectly fine murdering just to gain land.

African tribes slaughtered each other long before becoming victims of Euro/American slavery.

I’m not justifying any of it. Just saying it’s the ebb and flow of who is in power at the time that determines who gets to decide what’s condoned or condemned, not the race, etc. of the aggressor or victim. Over centuries and millennia, many/most nations and peoples will take turns giving and receiving atrocities. All you need is an evil leader and just enough supporters to make it seem “ok enough”.

Is this the rap analogy? Nice.

I imagine half the people using generative ai for memes wouldn’t have been able to even get online in the 90’s since you had to shop for a modem, install it in an ISA slot (yes, open the scary computer box), determine compatible IRQ settings and reflect them in BIOS, hardware jumper, and software, find (or sign up for) a valid BBS / internet service, set the proper software protocol, and troubleshoot why it didn’t work the first time. I almost wish my computer made modem connecting sounds when downloading a file. Yes, this is my “walked uphill to school” story. :)

Wow, lots of people can’t take a joke.

Pretty sure it’s “when” for everyone.
