      It’s not a perfect take, but I’ve seen so many takes insanely worse than this one that I am genuinely unsure what evoked such a strong reaction to it. (Particularly since you provided no explanation.)

          If you want to be pedantic, I also didn’t say it was the worst take, and you didn’t actually say it was the dumbest

              Well that plus my last comment where I straight up said “I didn’t say it was the worst take”. I feel like you’ve gotten totally confused

                    ME:implied it was a dumb take.

                    YOU:wasn’t the worst, why so agro?

                    ME:wasn’t trying to say it was the worst, was trying to say it was dumb

                    YOU:doesn’t understand what implications are

                    ME:tries to lead horse to water

                    YOU:doesn’t drink

                    did I miss anything?

        Most USians don’t like being reminded that the empire they live in and have internalized belonging to is in terminal decline, and the options are a drawn out slow collapse and a “flinging shit around” collapse

      Sorry, do you prefer the US to collapse in, idk, a flurry of proxy wars with the potential for the use of nuclear weapons? I much prefer the slow decline with limited proxy wars.
