    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.)

      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 “really flinging shit around” collapse

        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

          so many takes insanely worse

          what does this imply? almost as if you were saying its not the worst take?

            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?
