I’m kinda curious, which part you found so offensive?
Odd that you thought that sp3ctr4l was offended by your comment, was that your intention? To offend people?
It was a risky comment, and people didn’t like that. Fair enough. Occasionally, taking these kinds of risks produces interesting results though.
... I mostly found your comment pitiable, not offensive.
As in, your metaphor is so crass and demonstrates such a fundamentally unserious approach to understanding reality, that it barely even registers as offensive, and immediately transcends into pity.
If you think this is some sort of... brush off your hands, phew, glad we made it out of that! type situation... if you think the suffering is over, disproportionately for Americans but also for the rest of the world...
This conveys to me that you have an extremely naive and simplistic grasp of how history moves, how international relations work, how fascism works, how economics works... etc.
Thanks for taking the time to analyze my wrecklesly risky comment.
Local Autist at your service, analysis is what my brain is optimized for.
