It’s a single country with a single currency, a single government, a single history, and a single language. Yes there’s a lot of variance within the country, but it’s really nothing compared to visiting Europe.

What about the giant colourful letters saying MARIO PARTY makes you think the isn’t a Mario game?

I’m assuming the person you’re imagining to be objectively bad is either literally Hitler or a skinhead neonazi with swastika tattoos and a history of violence, right? What about people who joined the Nazi party because the alternative was having their lives destroyed, or the kid with a bad home life who was radicalised by a gang of thugs who are his only friends? They’re both fascists and victims of fascism, where do you draw the line at who should be killed?

Obviously most people agree that WW2 was justified to stop the Nazis conquering the world, but you can’t just say “it’s OK to kill someone because they’re X”, because then you just need to label whoever you dislike as part of that out-group and suddenly you’ve justified killing whoever you want.

It’s never fine to say “it’s fine to kill all X”. You need to stop fascists, but you can do that without fucking killing anyone you’ve decided is evil.

they are when the folks they killed were fascists

Ah but it’s OK because the people I killed were all baddies!

I’m in Britain, things did get very slightly less bad this year!

Hey Uncle Sam, the USA isn’t the whole universe!

Alright, alright, the shurethra if you want to get technical

Well when you give a shit about the environment and then you hear about people doing something incredibly wasteful it winds you up, you know?

Lots of people taking you up on your username 24 hours a day, eh?

Ooh sauté, well lah-de-dah Mr Frenchman!

Are they children who don’t pay the electricity bill, selfish energy wasters, or just idiots?

Useful if you ever find yourself driving to Ravenholm

the world has always been and will always be difficult

So why do you think a child deserves to be brought into a world where they’re going to suffer?

Kitchens often have powerful extract fans so really it’s the safest choice

More just “America odd”. From a British perspective Americans seem to be very obsessed with their ancestry and talk about it like it’s their nationality. Just a culture difference.

Also be careful about assuming a Northern Irish protestant identifies as Irish!

No, he’s English. Though according to Wikipedia his mum is Jewish and born in South Africa and his dad is protestant and born in Northern Ireland, which I guess to an American is “half Irish and half Jewish” because of their weird way of describing their ancestry like it’s their nationality.

You’ve got me there

Relevant xkcd, you were warned about this at least a decade ago

Obviously the shit-talking is pretty funny, but pull your head out of your arse if you think you’re better than my sandwich
