Again, you don’t like it when someone jokes about the shitty situation in your country but I’m pretty sure you’ve made your fair share of “delivering freedom” (as in dropping bombs on helpless victims) jokes without feeling the slightest twinge of “being smug about it.” You’ve probably not even given a second thought that you’re actually making jokes on the expense of innocent people.
“Even if these handful of people exist”
Last comment is what “you never convince anyone of anything”. Moving the goalposts much?
Here, have a look at this reply I just had a few hours back.
Not that it was about politics, but it’s just here to show your assertion about me being shit in “convincing people” is downright false. I don’t have a need to prove to you the amount of people I’ve persuaded and what of. You’re just angry I made a joke about the horrible situation you’re in.
What you’re doing is getting mad at someone
Oh no, hunny, that’s all you. I’m smooth as fuck, I’m trying to go to bed, so I’m on 3mg of melatonin, 20mg of Ambien, 45mg oxazepam and a buttload of weed. :)
Yeah, I have nothing to prove. I’m on Lemmy to spend time.
You’re lying. You don’t sincerely doubt that I’ve never convinced anyone of anything they didn’t already believe, and I’m not convincing you of anything right now either, as you already know this and thus believe in it. :)
The easiest way to “convince” people is to show them what they actually believe. A form of the Socratic method, and it’s very efficient.
Did you know anger is the emotion most likely to trigger a response in people? If so, and dark jokes can make people angry — like you are — then wouldn’t it stand to reason that due to this anger, you’re more likely to take action of some sort? (That’s a rhetorical question, because we know it to be true, unless we have to argue about that as well, in case you’re one of those "I don’t believe in the human sciences people.) If you’re American and in a horrible situation, and I believe you to be one of the (and this is reductive) “good guys”, then won’t I have theoretically helped, albeit in very indirectly?
Or this interaction make you feel better about the situation in your country?
Shaming people into action is also a thing you know.

No you have nothing to prove, only that you’re smug and you feel self righteous about it.
You can fuck off, I sincerely doubt you’ve ever convinced anyone of anything they didn’t already believe.
