Yeah the mods can be annoying on here. Lots of times someone has replied to me and by the time I get to it it’s “comment removed by mod” without even an explanation. I wanted to know what that person had to say, even if it was a dumbfuck thing to say. These things only work with interaction, and if you’re stifling interaction on a platform that is starved for it then you’re not making it better, you’re making it worse.

The only one that happened at a bar was in Montana.

Oh man YES

That is always a weird one for my brain to work around.

Hahahahahahaha nailed it bud

It should be pointed out that MOST Americans I met were not like that. But it’s a large enough amount that it’s always been a noticeable difference from home.

I’ve been to Montana, Texas, Florida, Seattle, and Tennessee and Las Vegas most recently. Also worked at a tourist town with lots of Americans for several months in Canmore and the Americans there seemed to have a similar attitude.

I’m from Alberta Canada. I’ve worked up North in camp jobs, and have been working in the trades with the rowdiest people our country has to offer.

Every time I’ve been to the states I’m shocked at how aggressive a large portion of your population is willing to talk to people. Every time I’ve gone there I’ve had at least one negative aggressive interaction with one of your citizens. I’m a large man with a beard and tattooes up to my neck, I’m a pretty intimidating looking dude paired with the Canadian politeness we’re known for. I do not understand how this keeps happening. And I see you guys do it to eachother too! It’s fucking wild.

You’re not seriously comparing a lotto winner to someone with global oligarch levels of wealth right now, are you? I have more respect for your intelligence than that my man.

I mean he was rich, wasn’t he? Did he die poor somehow? I don’t know enough about him.

I hate that becoming a certain level of rich can guarantee that you will never not be rich even if you’re the dumbest motherfucker that ever tried to do business.

I won’t body shame people if it’s something that is out of their control. This does not fall under that category even a little bit son.

I feel like being ground zero and ambivalent and anti non Jewish minorities are all things that I dislike about zionists, so basically same level of complicity to me. The whole dodging mandatory military service thing to help enforce a genocide thing is like… I don’t understand which side of that unholy union I dislike yes but the amount is so high that it’s probably irrelevant

Okay, I don’t really understand but if I’m wrong let me know.

So I’d assume ultra orthodox, from context, would be the most likely to be Zionist, based on the history of why Israel was created in the first place.

and they’ve been exempt from mandatory military service, which has mostly been used in the Israel-Palestine conflict, up until now?

And this is destabilizing the current regime?

If I’m understanding this correctly this is fucking insane.

What’s c/pyongang?

Yeah no I misspoke on that point for sure.

Okay, you’re right. I absolutely misspoke about the “greatest military power” thing.

Or maybe

Maybe

Maybe

It didn’t actually happen because NK doesn’t have the facilities to manufacture meaningful levels of weapons to one of the greatest military powers in the world right now

Could be western propaganda who knows

Yeah, if you believe anything from Radio Free Asia at this point then you’re a moron. It’s literally CIA war propaganda.

Man, they should just move somewhere more free! Like America! Where the police never beat people to death, and the citizens are never abused for political gain by law enforcement!

Oh wait.
