    Seems in poor taste to make fun of some of the most tragic parts of our society imo

    Edit: I’m not saying that some sort of protest or criticism of America is not warranted, I definitely think it is. I’m saying doing so by making fun of the most vulnerable people in our society, that the system has failed the most, is in poor taste and comes off as punching down at the victims of the system rather than punching up at the system itself.

      It’s equally poor taste to threaten to invade a country, which will likely end in exactly that aspect of your culture being imported there first, because this will lead to the local population losing their universal healthcare, free education, their workers’ rights, and their social security.

        Trump isn’t a fentanyl addict. He’s literally the only person who was making threats about invading Greenland. Trump is disgusting; but he’s not a fentanyl addict. Do not put such a shame on fentanyl addicts by comparing them to him.

          Becoming those people is literally what’s in store for the population of Greenland, if the invasion threats come true. So it’s very well their right to make fun of the culture that will give them this great gift, and of the gift itself.

            Until these past few weeks, I had the impression that places outside of the US were more informed than the MAGA voters in the US. You’re yet another example of why I was wrong.

          The poorest tend to be rural conservative morons who are absolutely threatening everyone by voting for Trump and continuing to vote for the GOP in general.

        So why would you make fun of the people also effected by that? It just seemed like mistargeted aggression

      So you wouldn’t say that a society should be judged on how it treats its most vulnerable members?

      Also, if the threat of invasion isn’t enough to warrant a clapback, what the heck is?

        I didn’t say either of those things. I said it’s in poor taste to specifically make fun of the most vulnerable people in a society in your clapback.

          I’d love it if we could ask those vulnerable people what they think about this video instead of us pretending to know what they feel or be offended on their behalf. If only we could do that, ask them how they feel about Greenland, it’s probably first on their mind when they wake up in their cardboard box on the curb.
