    How can you say that your meme is not hostile when it is literally an image pointing a gun at the words that are wrote? “it always has been” is a correction. I wrote that the US is admitting to supporting genocide and your meme says “well duh”. It is smug. You are saying “I already knew that” with an image of a gun. That is hostile and annoying to me.

      i think you’re reading a lot into a picture and three words. the only thought i was trying to convey was that u.s. foreign (and domestic) policy has always been to commit genocide, which to me at least is pretty plainly a reductive joke rather than some kind of backhanded attempt at “correcting” you. there was nothing to correct you on because you were just making a statement of fact. i appreciated your breakdown, i just didn’t have anything substantive to add to it so i made a joke.

      sorry if you perceived that as hostile but i find your actual, intended hostility deeply unpleasant and, as i said, extremely unwarranted. feel free not to reply if you’re going to continue being a dick because i’m straight up not interested.

      “US foreign policy is genocide” “I agree, always has been” was the intended statement, I believe.

      Sorry to butt in I just didn’t want to sit on the sidelines of comrade infighting.

      And I’ve been on the THC so I feel like playing internet therapist. I can see how I might have gotten my RSD triggered if I was in your shoes given your interpretation.
