So in English context, my joke, is there even one, I put it into caps, argument against taking over Iran or Canada or Mexico?
Anybody who's American is going to be like, duh, like,
He's joking, we're not gonna invade Canada or Mexico.
Now imagine if you hit translate on that and you speak Farsi or something.
All you see is there is no argument against taking over Iran and Canada and Mexico.
You don't get any of the American context in language or in text.
Often in text, it's lost, too.
I think a lot of times what will happen is, kind of like if someone's on a battlefield, you know, you're all about sarcasm and joking, but if you see someone waving what looks like a gun at you, and you're already in a panic, fight or flight state, you can't really take it as a joke.
And some of these people are so wound right now that they don't see jokes anywhere.
Or, no, right, like a man, or finish your point.
Oh, yeah, well, I think maybe some people will be like, he's being serious, obviously, because everything's so important right now.
I think it's that low IQ people can't understand sarcasm.
I think there's a few factors.
I think the foreigner issue is huge.
There's a lot of people who are not Americans who are trying to manipulate American public opinion.
This is normal psyops that's been on social media for decades.
You then have people who genuinely can't understand it.
And they're just like, why would you want to invade Canada?
But then you have liberals who know it's a joke but prefer it to not be so they can use it to trick stupid people.
People will do that too.
