  • Imagine how cynical you have to be to think the worst of everything you read online. There’s no tactics. It was a joke. If you don’t think it’s funny that’s cool. But to concoct the narrative in your mind that you have speaks more about your own insecurities than anything else.

    Maybe next time you read something online try not to assume the worst when you don’t understand the context or the words. Hint: in the UK saying “innit” isn’t meant to evoke seriousness. Have you ever seen Ali G? Probably not I’m guessing.

    Now that I’ve had to explain the joke to you (regardless of whether you find it funny or not) are you able to answer my question? Why does your mind race to assume the worst?






  • My friend…

    Sometimes this can be implying only some of a demographic, but, more often than not, implies the whole.

    You quite openly acknowledge that there’s an ambiguity in the worlds but only want to see the side that promotes your confirmation bias. Ok then 👍.

    So, using that context clue, we can conclude that the first sentence means “All Americans” when you wrote “they”, not just “some Americans”.

    Not sure how you’ve jumped to that conclusion. It means “most Americans” at best. Not all. Most. That is after all how your election system works. Most of the people in the US that took part in the 2024 election voted on favour of this mad orange git. The last time I checked most doesn’t mean all. Unless that’s something else you’ve bastardised from the language 😂?

    The fact remains you’ve jumped to conclusions. It’s cool. No harm done. Now do us all a favour and actually stand up and vote those loonies out of your government. That’d do nicely, lad 👍.
