LC Thread 2020: What the PUNK? ROCK.

And they hate themselves at the same time. It’s weird. I think they just disdain everything, but disdain other people and French stuff the least.

@microbet

Maybe French people don’t go on about how great the nation or the military or whatever of France is, but they are fucking sure about a lot of whatever it is to be French being absolutely better than everyone else in the world.

I think you are going to have to show your work here.

You, too.

@skydiver8

you called it “infantile”, dude.

How the fuck else am I supposed to take that?

Why do you not have the ability to just let people enjoy what they enjoy without trying to convince them otherwise?

Ok, what word would you prefer me to use to describe art/entertainment aimed primarily at kids?

[microbet]

That’s just about the kind of post I’d expect from a German.

(I’m just kidding)

[MichaelDavis]

Poor kid, wait till he learns about cancer.

I don’t think Americans are more xenophobic or patriotic than average.

They are, they are, they are! A lot!

May be on a similar level like russians, but A LOT more than any of the Europeans I met.

I find this curious, since @superuberbob perceives Eastern Europeans as being just as racist as Americans.

Or are Euros just racist but without the nationalism?

[LouisCyphre]

Ah… humor.

[microbet]

It’s weird though. On a site where EVERYONE relentlessly talks shit about Americans and the US system and the US government, when the subject of problems with other places comes up, the defensiveness of non-Americans is amazing. Look at the suggestion by Johnny that Canada might not be exactly perfect for everyone in every single way.

Do you often describe YA fiction as “infantile?”

[microbet]

Maybe they murder each other enough over soccer that they get it out of their system.

Worst take in a sea of bad takes.

[microbet]

Except about France, right? Fuck those French! (don’t undo your like!)

[Jalfrezi]

I don’t often describe YA fiction, no.

Some Euro who can’t stand to see this without posting about the homicide rate in America in 3…2…(I’m just going to assume I nixed it, but it was going to happen)

@microbet is partially right about the French ldo, and horribly wrong about his compatriots in USA#1.

[skydiver8]

How would you describe fantasy novels?

[microbet]

@Jalfrezi

Oh, I know Americans are patriotic and xenophobic as hell. It’s just that everyone else is too.

(Ok, except Africa. Obviously not Africa. I don’t know about Africa. But I do know about non-rich countries like El Salvador. Yeah, they don’t like the government or anything, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t very bound up in being Salvadoran.)

[pvn]

So these Portland alt-right counterprotestors we’re outside agitators that came into town in a caravan?

[Jalfrezi]

Such as? I don’t know who you’d include.

You mean like Hesse, Le Guin, Moorcock, Pratchett?

[Trolly]

@Jalfrezi

I don’t often describe YA fiction, no.

So you’re definitely just trolling us. Good to know.
