no funny shit i think every yt non american who uses mass shootings as a gotcha moment whenever any american person makes some sort of lighthearted joke towards them or their country should be drawn and quartered. like i sincerely think these bitches should be snuffed out quickly
like in what universe is “lol swedish people don’t feed their guests dinner!!” even remotely equivalent to the literal mass murder of children………………………… everyone like this needs to jump into QUICKLY
So this bitch works at Observer and is getting getting her book distributed by Simon and Schuster, if anyone wants to file a complaint.
So I wanna defend the non-US POV there.
School mass shootings is something that, in Europe at least, we don’tunderstand.
You have to realise how crazy it sounds for us, it’s almost unreal. And even more than the fact that those shootings happen, we DONT understand why you’re still allowed to have guns.
The « debate » doesn’t even makes sense for us. The fact that there’s the need for a debate doesn’t makes sense.
When non-American makes sarcastic remarks like that one, it’s because we can’t even fathom the need for a debate on gun control.
The US gun situation is surreal so we only have surreal remarks to make.
Sarcastic comments on the stupidity of US laws doesn’t take away anything from the tragedy or the sympathy we have for the victims.
Furthermore, Americans have to realise that the « thoughts and prayers » response is also something that doesn’t makes sense for Europeans. Here in Europe we look at the US exchanging « thoughts and prayers » when there should be riots and outrage to force the government to change the law.
What’s a « joke » to Europeans isn’t the shootings. It’s the US response to those shootings.
wow what a shock! consider this: the people living in the us have that same outlook except we actually have to deal with the neverending nightmare that one day one of us is going to be shot! to death! something that none of you actually have to ever deal with!! so no thats not a joke Any of you whitebread milquetoast euros get to make at our expense!!! in conclusion, go jump
But like… It’s not a joke at YOUR expense. It’s just not.
And we’re sorry that you have to deal with this nightmare. And we wish you wouldn’t have to deal with it.
The tweet was targeting US policies.
American people ARE NOT the same thing as “The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TM.”
A joke on your country is not a joke on you.
then make fun of the policy makers??? except wait thats not what any of you do when americans make jokes is it~? our ribs are not a free pass for a single one of you to be like “haha thats a funny dig at me now let me remind you of the fact that your citizens keep getting murdered in cold blood”. and the fact that you want to defend other europeans saying that says a Lot about you as a person and its very very ugly indeed
