For context, the IOF tortured Greta. Proudly bragging about dragging her on all fours across the ground to kiss the Zionists' flag.

I. Am. Tired.

NJ gets shit on all the time, so I assumed that this is what that was.

Well obviously that's not clear, and I imagine there's a large chunk of the ~10 million people living in NJ who wouldn't appreciate the comparison.

    As a resident of the state, yeah I assumed we were getting shit on again for some reason. I’ve never once heard this size comparison before.

    As someone who lives an entire ocean and then half a continent away, I also thought people were shitting on NJ again because even I'm aware of NJ being a literal meme. I remember even HIMYM gave it a lovingly joking "ew Jersey" vibe when one of Ted's girlfriends lived there.

    I literally know nothing else about your joke other than the fact that the rest of the US memes about it. And that Weehawken is supposedly an OK place to live if you work in Manhattan?

    I mean yes, I also know that The Sopranos took place there, but the setting felt pretty generic to me. I know NYC is known for the mafia families and it seems likely that that would've transferred over to Jersey as well, but nothing about the show ever screamed "this could only happen here" lol

    Yeah NJ mostly became a meme because New Yorkers and Philadelphians love to make fun of it despite coming to our beaches in the summers in droves. The Jersey Shore show didn’t help with our image, but again, 3/4 of the people on that show are out of staters. NJ had no more of a mob problem than NY or Philly, and most of the mob has been neutered across the board. Government corruption still very much a problem in the state though.

    There’s lots of nice places to live that are relatively easy to get into Manhattan from along the Hudson. Hoboken is my favorite.

    This is what it's like dealing with y'all "ACHEWUALLY" fuckin goombas when we're dealing with a group that controls and censors like 80% of social media NOT EVEN INCLUDING BOTFARMS.

    It's very fucking clear I'm not talking about the ~10 million people in the US - You want to argue semantics? Go elsewhere for it.

    What does this have to do with leftism? You straight up compared an entire US state to a genocidal ethnostate. Sorry that raised some eyebrows.

    It's not fucking clear at all. You called Israel "Desert New Jersey." You are the only one who immediately goes to "size"

    You could have just said, "I can see why you would have interpreted it that way, my bad"

    Fucking weirdo.

    Forgive me for not holding your hand through every sentence and syllable while my other inboxes are full of threats of violence and reminders that the US camps will come for me next, 'fucking weirdo'- Perhaps you'd like a step by step next time OR like the other people in this SAME THREAD you can see that it's simple manner of skirting the horseshit.

    Any other minor fucking problems with a shit post you'd like to complain about? The font I use to skirt the bots, maybe? Didn't get the spacing to your liking? Was my grammar not up to par for you?

    I need notes so that my 'one dude doing what he can as the world turns to shit' act doesn't lose any of its prestige.

    OK bud. Have a nice day.

    I think you need to reconsider who you're actually angry at. Your response above, with the meme, is not normal.

    The person you’re responding to, and these memes, aren’t interested in discussing anything.

    Things don’t need to make sense. They just have to be provocative and engage people.

    The intent is to normalize their message through the lens of things we can kinda agree on. Idk if they expected anyone to not want to dunk on NJ, because their prop sheet says we like to dunk on NJ.

    Hey, I may be a lot of things (specifically terrible at social interaction and emotional regulation under stress) but I am not some fuckin' shill with a script, pal. A script would actually avoid this kind of dense shit on my part.

    Also, who the hell is running so many campaigns against New Jersey that you think a prop sheet would specify focusing on New Jersey?

    Can I say something to you? Something I've learned in life is to see when you are wrong. Step back, take a breathe and look at what you said. Multiple people are giving you a reason why what you said might be taken wrong. Hell, you have even more downvotes.

    It's okay to be wrong, dude. We're not right wing nut jobs who will hold it against you. Calm down, and think about it. You could've easily said, "My bad, I wasn't trying to offend anyone." And accepted the L. But now you look like a jackass.

    I agree- you just caught me as I was coming back from the cool off. I edited my initial dumbass comment above with an apology, and I'm off to smoke a bowl to finish cooling off.

    I'm an idiot, but I try to be a stand up idiot at least.

    Good on you man for calming yourself and taking a moment to reflect. It takes practice to get better at it. Therapy can be surprisingly helpful at giving you tools to help if that's something you would consider.

    Oh, I wasn't being entirely facetious when I said OP forgot his meds- It's been a hell of a week/month/season/year and ya boy got goldfish brain. Everyone should have a therapist though, even if they aren't potentially coo coo bananas.

    Dude, there's a ton of that. Alot of people aren't a fan of Jersey, so its easy to conflate that.

    ... Is it like leftover hate from Snooki? I just thought it was like an "across the river" type beef between NYC/NJ whenever I see Jersey smack talkin'.

    Oh no, I recently went to Jersey for a concert and I had multiple family members ask me why 'cause its dirty'.

    Every day my hope for our species dims a little more. 🫠💀 That's such a goofy way to think about another state- as if the whole country isn't just a big mess.
