People tend to wonder why british people tend to respond to mocking british food and stuff with hard hitting stuff like school shooting jokes. I think you might get the emotional response a bit better if you understand you're literally mocking the food they eat at home, sometimes the food their grans made. Americans seem to struggle with the idea that people can have full entire lives without being american, and I think it leads to arguments like this
Jimmy Reed: On 'You People'
Question: Why do so many people consider the phrase 'you people' to be offensive? Jimmy Reed: Well, my lovely, I think it's not so much the phrase per se that many people take issue with. For instance, if you were to say something like... "you people are awesome"... I don't think most people would find that to be offensive. It's the fact that, more often than not, people use that phrase to make negative comments in a generalizing sort of way. It's the whole promotion of 'us versus them' that's problematic. That's why it's better to point to specific behaviours, rather than labelling people themselves. No one group of people is a monolith!
it's actually a fucking travesty that social media has managed to divide all of us like this. we all only exist in little pockets of echo bubbles and anyone in the outgroup could be an enemy. it's tragic af cus we will never be able to band together and create effective change. not in this economy
anyway it sure would be cool if we could all kinda rally around things that we all have in common, but online discourse is so goddamn toxic these days and people are so hell bent on being contrarian and argumentative that i could literally say something like "we all eat food" and someclown would pop up like "well ACKTCHYUALLY i have never eaten a Food in my Life, all i ever have is kalejuice and piss, it is a very sustainable diet and you are disrespecting my culture" or some shit. idfk
i actually hate the idea that "worrying about being abusive is a sign that you're not abusive" and similar, as if "im always worried that im a bad person :(((" isnt right up there with "i was abused so i cant possibly be abusive" among common guilt tripping techniques and false dogma

By treating access to audiences as social currency, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and just about any widely used social media platform, are designed to incubate cultures of competition. ... People start treating each other like ruthless transactions, carcasses to step over rather than human beings actively engaged in dialogue or disagreement. After a while it can feel like survival of the fittest. Sometimes it is. Just as billionaires have enormous resources at their disposal to manipulate the flow of power and preserve market dominance, social currency enables popular web-based activists to maintain dominance over online discourses. So while the visibility social media enables can be a valuable tool for the proliferation of alternative media, marginalized voices, and radical re-education, how that visibility is obtained and maintained can be painfully problematic.

Reblog is you firmly believe that nobody ever should tell someone “fuck off and die”, be it SJW *OR* anti-SJW!
I’m pretty sure @atomicgrave did *not* mean “I love you sweetheart” when they said “fuck off and die pussy”!
