What does it mean if I can't tell the difference between my culture's reality and my culture's bogeymen? Does it make my reality false, my bogeymen true, or a third, unthinkable thing?

That's true! Good job explaining that.

Downvoting this meme is like the funniest thing you can do

Its another classic case of Muphry's Law.

I really appreciate the levels of irony in your comment, whether or not they are intended.

We saw a naval officer relieved of command for having the scope backwards on his rifle.

Well in that case, it was just a matter of bad optics.

Know Your Meme's page on Loss.

Basically, a 2000s webcomic about gamer culture devoted a comic (titled Loss) to the writer's partner who had a miscarriage. It's four wordless panels, and the characters in each panel take up roughly the positions of the rectangles in the OP.

Tonally, it was the complete opposite of what the webcomic normally covered, and it really shocked its readers who, being an internet community, responded with irony and parody, and now there are a ton of Loss references out there.

Oh, that makes it okay then.

Is that what I'm doing, what Pug is doing or what you are doing? (downvote if it's you so I can know)

I don't think anyone seriously thinks guilt can be inherited... "Ancestral guilt" is a totally stupid concept, and framing colonial reparations that way is arguing in bad faith.

I thought it would be funny to point out we literally have the receipts of colonialism, but that turned out to be arguing with pigeons.

Again with the guilt! This is a strawman. Can someone else tap in? I'm done for now.

Pug, if you're really looking for answers, consider removing your moral glasses and just look at what people have had taken from them and what they're asking for. Beyond all the emotion and defensiveness and outrage and morality, people are asking for really reasonable things
