What a weird and terrible take. Kudos for saying something so stupid that I've never heard it before.

[-] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

It’s not a perfect take, but I’ve seen so many takes insanely worse than this one that I am genuinely unsure what evoked such a strong reaction to it. (Particularly since you provided no explanation.)

Most USians don't like being reminded that the empire they live in and have internalized belonging to is in terminal decline, and the options are a drawn out slow collapse and a "really flinging shit around" collapse

I didn't say it was the worst take. I said it was the dumbest.

[-] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

If you want to be pedantic, I also didn’t say it was the worst take, and you didn’t actually say it was the dumbest

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

so many takes insanely worse

what does this imply? almost as if you were saying its not the worst take?

[-] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well that plus my last comment where I straight up said “I didn’t say it was the worst take”. I feel like you’ve gotten totally confused

[-] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

You never scored well in reading comprehension, did you?

[-] CoggyMcFee@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Re-read the thread. CAREFULLY.

ME:implied it was a dumb take.

YOU:wasn't the worst, why so agro?

ME:wasn't trying to say it was the worst, was trying to say it was dumb

YOU:doesn't understand what implications are

ME:tries to lead horse to water

YOU:doesn't drink

did I miss anything?

Sorry, do you prefer the US to collapse in, idk, a flurry of proxy wars with the potential for the use of nuclear weapons? I much prefer the slow decline with limited proxy wars.
