We all have positives and negatives of our cultures and history. I wasn't talking about the ground beef sandwich. The word comes from european/german history from well before there was a USA.

btw.. from my own personal experience... the american/irish are way more easy to deal with than the actual recently arrived Irish. The latter tend to be way way more alcoholic and belligerent. I like to hope the ones who stay in Ireland aren't like that. The african immigrants are a very mixed group and it isn't easy to make any generalizations.

I wasn't talking about the ground beef sandwich.

Well I was, and you were responding to me, so you were too. The "invention" of the ground beef burger was credited to a woman in Connecticut in the 1900s.

I wasn't talking about new immigrants, I was talking about the American guy with his DNA test who thinks he somehow has anything to do with actual European culture because the results say he is 65% european and his grandma told him he is 1/8th Irish.

This user is promoting a shill demoralization meme used widely on other sites for years. Where false perception is made that portrays Americans of European descent as being only 65% European. It's called 'Le 65% meme' and is believed to of originated from the J Eye d'eff.

This user is either ignorant or intentionally spreading this propaganda. It is commonly known that most white Americans are 98%+ European with small amounts of Native American admixture. User through even rudimentary research should know this.

User is also spreading their own pre-existing hatred for America, that goes well above and beyond expected normal amounts of criticism and is circumspect to some suspicion judging from the amount of unrestrained zeal expressed.

Hate is a strong word, I prefer to say I dislike america. Not a shill, but if anyone is demoralized by being told they're only 65% european, then I thoroughly enjoy it. Nice heritage bro, but I don't think "europe" wants you back.

You are deflecting and not addressing the argument. You are well aware of the facts, yet go through the trouble to create anecdotal stories to facilitate spreading disinformation. To put it so someone like you can understand it: You are lying, and you know it. The real question is motive.

Demoralization used consistently is an attempt to wear down an opponent's will power using perception and sentiment management.

What argument? You conspiracy types are so eager to find a secret motive. You think people are plotting against you but truthfully, most of us don't give a fuck. I dislike america the same way I dislike the loud, obnoxious brat at a birthday party. I think it's pathetic that americans are trying to turn this news story of incredible american stupidity into a political issue just so they can "stick it to the libs", when in reality, the story reflects badly on all americans. I don't give a fuck about your stupid us-and-them politics. I think it's doubly pathetic when white americans double down and try to claim a "european" heritage, as per whistlepig. I think it's sad how much you people spend on ancestry tests, as if the results even matter. "White" americans have as much in common with "europeans" as black americans have with "africans", I don't care if you're 65% or 100% """european""". I get falling back on race when you've got nothing else going for you, but if your great great great grandpa got kicked out of europe in the 1700s, he probably wasn't the hotshot you thought he was, regardless of what your granny says. Winners don't get sent to live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. At the rate america is going, you're all descendants of village idiots that got ran out of town, as far as I'm concerned.

Get to a therapist, fix your diet, meditate, medicate, disconnect, or whatever provides some serenity, but please do something to get help asap.

Now that's some seriously low effort deflection. I'd say I expected more, but I didn't.

Some people are kicked out of their family for the single and sole reason that they are literally just a mouth. The end. No moral judgment to be added there's no analysis or critique of thoughts and philosophies or religions or whatever the fuck. They literally just required food to be put into their mouth and instead of doing that the family said well how about we just throw this body towards America. And that's all that it was and that's all that it took and that's how a lot of families started in America. It was just a fat lazy retarded family in Europe that said well how about we make those people take care of our crotch fruit instead.

Well I was, and you were responding to me, so you were too.

My apologies. I thought you were making a more high brow multilevel joke.

Oh no, I wanted to make sure people like you can understand it.

what an ironic thing to say....

[–]just_lesbian_things 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

Considering the things going over your head, I'd say my worries were well founded.

Are you sure you don’t prefer life on reddit?

[–]just_lesbian_things 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Nah, I would've been banned three times over in this thread alone for hurting somebody's feelings if this happened on reddit.

[–]Darth_Vader 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Achstually with that username it would be a hate crime for them to ban you.

No. There was a small window of a few months back in 2015 when that was true, but it's not anymore and hasn't been for a while. Try to keep up.
