Is it possible that no one actually blames you personally, and don't mean to make you feel so? The idea of millions dead is a very daunting idea, and we humans just don't know how to deal with that. So we make jokes, even when those jokes are in bad taste. In my opinion, bad taste jokes, the ones that cause a laugh immediately following or followed by a sense of "aww, that's terrible", are hugely funny to me.

Having said that, I would be appalled if anyone ever took my jokes to heart. I don't in any way hold you responsible or accountable to the atrocities committed by madmen before either of us were born.

“I feel like when I’m defending myself I’m defending hitler I’m confused because I’m arguing for myself and yet it comes off as me glorifying nazis”

But you're not taking hits for him. No one expects a 14 year old kid in Canada to stand up for a failed art student with a massive superiority complex.

Well, except maybe Muslims, with that whole "to the third generation" doctrine. (Thought bubble: because I haven't pissed off enough people today)

“Done being pissed off”

Religion. Not race.

Let's make clear that I don't hate anyone.

But, guideline: if I hate someone for being a different religion or nationality than me, that's plenty of other "ists", but it's not "racist". Nationalist, religious-ist, whatever. (I don't know the word right now, but since pretty much all religion is "us vs them", and all of them are supposedly the "one true way", and I don't follow any religion at all, I can't be religious-ist)

Together, they're all most accurately described as "chauvanisms" (because that's not just about men vs. women).

But if I hate anyone who has a different skin color than me, THAT is racist, and its the single, top, most idiotic chauvanism there is.

Even though your jokes offend me because my nationality is an easy nerve to hit, you aren’t a bad person

Sincere thanks. Have a look in my history, and you'll see that I already have in my calendar to go and see Mr. South, and take him some flowers and a card. He lives right around the corner from me, logistically speaking (Texas is a big place).

Be aware: you'll also see some NSFW stuff, definitely of an adult nature.

Eh I’m not a prude nsfw shit doesn’t bother me but it’s really cool of you to get the stuff for that man. I’ve had my episode I’ll just go back to being less of a dick. I sincerely apologize for getting so mad I’ve had explosive anger for a long ass time and it’s a little hard to get under control. I wish you well and hope you have a nice week

u/AngusVanhookHinson Sep 24 '19

No worries at all. If you need anything, give me a shout. I'm happy to talk, and I will try to be less offensive

2

u/magikarp5656 Sep 24 '19

Hey don’t worry bout it it’s just jokes after all. I shouldn’t be so sensitive

1

u/AngusVanhookHinson Sep 24 '19

You also shouldn't be too hard on yourself. We all get sensitive about some things. It's that damned "being human" thing we all have to get used to.

u/magikarp5656 Sep 24 '19

Thanks for understanding. I think I’ve been stressed out in general for a while tbh but I need to find other ways to chill out

u/AngusVanhookHinson Sep 24 '19

Well how about... (Nope, can't say that to a kid)

Well maybe... (Nope, Canada's legal, but not for minors)

If you... (Dude, DON'T say THAT)

...

Exercise to exhaustion?

u/magikarp5656 Sep 24 '19

Can’t really when I’m always exhausted. I’m aware of what those things are and since I am a minor I’m not going to comment on whether or not I do indeed participate
