edit: seems like some people interpret “full of” as a mathematical majority which, while it may or might not be true instance to instance, isn’t my intent in posting

feel free to swap in “has a lot of” if that’s more familiar language to you :)

    I mean for sure it’s the entire country, with only depressingly slight variations in concentration one way or the other - but your image is about southerners specifically, so that’s what I addressed.

    …and honestly, it scales up as high as you want to take it - for the most part, humans are just evil sacks of shit.

      There ya go. I fully agree with you here. 👍 Sending love to you as “one of the good ones.” (Sorry that sounds mean but I don’t know how to put it XD)

      [Again apologies if my initial comment came off as abrasive. My entire post is a reaction to some crowds cheering on the recent tragedy in Texas and it’s clear now you are not anywhere near a part of that crowd and I misread the situation.]

        No worries at all. Typing is a shitty medium for this kind of conversation: tone is mostly lost. I’m guilty all the time of making posts that sound 10x angrier than I intended. …or angry at all: usually I’m bouncing somewhere between numb, depressed, or caffeine-induced mania. I’m not really ever mad or aggressive; but then I’ll re-read a post I made the day prior and realize it comes off as absolutely pissed which is pretty much never the intention at the time of posting.

        I do tend to use profanity pretty casually… maybe it’s that?

        But yeah, when in doubt, read an internet-stranger’s post in the voice of Eeyore. Sometimes the words alone just don’t do the trick.

          (Personally for me it was the “cousin fucking” language that gave me the wrong impression. Not to tone police, that’s just kind of how I got to where I was because that’s very common in circles that tend to do dehumanizing .)
