You should be ashamed of yourself. Many wonderful people live in this country. We have so much to do - and yes, we are plagued by many horrors - but we persevere.
What do you want me to do? Wave my hands and say some magic words and presto have everything be fixed? It doesn’t fucking work that way.
I do what I can within my means. I vote every election for candidates supporting gun and mental healthcare reforms, I do my best to educate my less politically aware friends, I support activist organizations, etc… I’m fucking sorry if I’m not personally out there torching politicians houses or whatever the fuck you expect me to do, but I’ve got people that depend on me not being in fucking prison.
Okay, but you do realize that comeback makes you look bad right, not us? No matter your reasons or intentions, you are mocking children being murdered. Like in the example below:
American: lol British people eat spotted dicks.
A brit: lol American children get shot at school.
Wow. What a zinger, you really got me with that one, a fool I was to not recognize the comedy of children dying horrifically.
(To be clear, I didn’t come up with that example randomly. I’ve seen the mocking of spotted dick be met with “lol child murder” more than once)
It’s a fucking ignorant ass jab directed at the wrong people. The majority of Americans support stricter gun laws, it is NOT the common mans fault that our centuries old political system is set up in a way that a minority party can have so much influence.
Like I already said, no matter the reasons or intentions, they ARE mocking children being murdered. Maybe it’s “lol you guys let children die lol” instead of “lol child death lol”, but either way children are dead and they are laughing. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans are horrified by it and pissed off nothing is being done by our government to stop it.
It’s also just incredibly thin-skinned. Really, you’re gonna get so offended over a joke about spotted dick that your only response is “you guys have school shootings lol”.
Nobody is mocking children for being murdered, that would be disgusting.
People are mocking the very much unique to the US culture of yes, we know children are being shot in schools, and no, we aren’t going to do anything about it, you crazy freedom-hating commie!
It’s a macabre mocking of your crazy gun culture and politics. Not of your children. I thought that was pretty obvious.
We might overuse that comeback, but at least we don’t have school shootings.

Instead of persevering, how about you fix the problem that no other developed country has?

You ever considered that maybe the US deserves to be ridiculed for seeing children die and choosing to do nothing about it?
I understand it’s a touchy subject, but come on. It’s a serious stain on the US. The US deserves immense criticism for it.
If you’re allowed to mock children deaths from a mental Healthcare crisis can we mock you for your roving gangs of rape squads?

They’re mocking us for letting children get murdered. Don’t get all civility politics up in here if you can’t even grasp the concept of the jab.

Your responses make the meme accurate. Bravo.
Is spotted dick political? I suppose us americans should have known it was a contentious subject that warrants jokes about child murder

Seems like the comeback is working since it gets Yanks flustered and writing paragraphs of text as a reply lol
One of them is a stereotype based on ignorance and racism.
The other one is children getting shot at schools.
Funny how both of these things come from the US.
