in this case what happened is that the irish potato famine got normalized over time but the genocide in gaza is a current event
Yep, basically this. To most non Irish people or those who haven’t bothered to learn, its just a commonly socially acceptable racist joke.
Third thing is most neurotypicals are pussies, if you spend time with neurodivergent people you realize that a lot of things they say are funny as fuck, even if its a bit raw sometimes.
My experience is that almost all of them are selfish hypocritical bullies, though I do seem to have just had astounding low quality people around me for much of my life. I have had a few genuinely nice neurotypical friends, but they’re a small minority.
(I actually just think David Bowie had the right idea being afraid of Americans. We’re boorish, ignorant cocksure, backstabbing assholes compared to everyone I’ve ever met or know from another country.)
The vast majority of neurotypicals I’ve known who constantly give me shit and often don’t even realize they are doing so?
They either have nervous breakdowns or become physically violent when I dish back 10% of what they’ve thrown at me by simply explaining their own hypocrisy to them.
Doing so is funny to me because to me their hypocrisy is self-evident and thus they are just are absurd but it breaks the brains of people who seem to just say shit with very low self-awareness.
To me, NOTHING is funny. I don’t want people telling jokes, I want them to suffer like I suffered just because of a foster mother’s oppression Olympics instead of GIVING LIKEABLE FOOD TO A 10 YEAR OLD WHO WAS STOLEN FROM HIS PARENTS AND BANNED FROM HAVING CONTACT WITH CHILDREN FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF HIS CHILDHOOD. THEY TOOK EVERYTHING I COULD EVER SUCCEED AT BY NOT LETTING ME BE A KID, AND NOW I AM LITERALLY UNEMPLOYABLE AND FURIOUS AT EVERYTHING I SEE! I WANT TO TORCH REDWOODS, I WANT TO SINK SHIPS, I WANT TO CARPET BOMB CHURCHES AND TECH STARTUPS AND MARA-LAGO, I WANT TO TURN THIS PLANET INTO A FUCKING BLACKENED ROCK BECAUSE EVERYTHING I’VE EVER WANTED TO EXPERIENCE IS PART OF A LIFE I WAS NEVER ALLOWED TO HAVE!
