I get so irrationally angry when people (namely non USAmericans) lean hard into meme-ing the "stupid americans" jokes
Because yeah, maybe you're right, a lot of us couldn't name your neighboring countries, or we can't point to your province on a map, or we haven't the foggiest clue of conversion rate of imperial to metric, or whatever reason or tidbit you want to add. Yes. We know that. We know that you know that.
But consider. A lot of us haven't left our own state before. A lot of us don't know half our own state. Please consider that a lot of people are simply trying to make it to the next day, next week, next month. I, myself, am extremely fortunate to be living with my parents at my age and my "rent" is extremely low. I'm fortunate. Many people are scrambling to pick up extra shifts at work or finding a second job to afford cost of living. Lots and lots of people are worrying about how to get karen out of their face without losing their job, they don't have time to study maps of europe.
And I get it. It's extremely easy to make that joke. We make it easy. And you don't what the average working class looks like. You hate our politics but can't change them, we hate them more and have no choice but to live with them. Your taxes go to public schools and healthcare. Ours go to military forces.
I can't police what anyone says, just asking that you think about your jokes. You're kicking a dying horse here.
“Why should rich people pay more” because fuck ‘em
“So you are okay for paying more when you have money” I am not excluded from ‘fuck ‘em’ when relevant

Soap: I fucking hate you
Graves: You and half of the people I've worked with
Soap: I hate you more than any of them. I'll eat holes in all your socks and rip the soles out of your shoes
Graves: ... Eat?
Soap: YOU WILL BE UNCOMFORTABLE EVERY STEP
Graves: EAT??
I think Jason is taller than Bruce but because they re-met in their suits, and Batman had a slight heel, Jason didn’t notice. But Bruce did. So now he has a bigger heel.
Dick has noticed but no one else is looking, he just knows because he’s been around B since nearly the beginning. And he is definitely holding that over Bruce’s head.
Bruce partly did it out of assholery but also a little bit of stupid paternal feelings about his baby being all grown up.
Jason still hasn’t noticed because they both wear boots and are still rarely in casual clothes/barefoot around each other.
Give him back his swords NOW !!
