    A: It completely undercuts the seriousness of your comment and makes the whole thing come off as a tirade by an edgy teenager.

    So you disagree with the tone and not what I’m saying? Because if so, that sounds like a “you” problem, i.e. you’re more interested in the tone of a message than its content.

    B: Jokes don’t get funnier every time you repeat them, it was mid the first time and eye roll worthy by the 3rd.

    It’s not a joke and it’s not supposed to be funny. I genuinely hate the USA and everything it stands for.

      Man you really need to work on your communication if you ever want anyone to listen to you.

      This is very much so a you problem because you’re not going to get far acting like this to people who agree with you.

              Pls entertain my curiosity: Usually the term (“AmeriKKKa” and variants) marks someone as a Maoist, from what I know. I think it came from those circles. Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up. I think it’s pretty hilarious, my father had the KKK burn a cross on his lawn in Mississippi, back in the day apparently,* so I do not take a lot of offence to the critique. I just assume everyone that uses it is a Maoist lol.

              * He was a lawyer that took on cases from non-whites, I think this was the 1960-70s. We’re from the NE, so we don’t play like that.

                Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up.

                I do know that Maoists use it, but I think I picked it up when I read about some Black Panthers using it (I mean they probably were Maoists). And also I started doing this when some snarky shitlibs were like “oh you shouldn’t say ‘America’ because Central America is ‘America’” so I’m just like “then I guess we’re doing this now” 😆.

                I’m an anarchist so of course not a Maoist, but I absolutely do not disagree with Maoists about the particular issue of America not being a good thing. Sorry if I’m being a bit annoying but this stuff is super important me, i.e. it’s important to have a good understanding of recent history.
