I’d like to start off this section with, my whole thing where I mention how much I hate communism is meant to be a joke. I do not actually support communism, I doubt anyone here does, but the whole “I hate these goddamn commies” personality trait is meant to be a joke.
That whole argument that came out of
Tery being helpful and pointing out a mistake I had missed shouldn’t have happened, I shouldn’t have carried it on when people clearly didn’t understand my attempt at a joke.
About that song I posted, I had only actually listened to it once and just remembered it existed before posting on the board. It was a mistake on my part to not realize the song challenged politics other than the USSR.
A lot of my unnecessary arguments stem from me attempting to make a joke, member either not getting the joke or turning it into a serious topic, and then me trying to defend what I said. I personally should be more patient with you guys, I’m the only regular Gen-Z member on this board, so it’s easier for my jokes to get out of hand because no one has a similar sense of humor. I just feel awkward, intimidated, and angry whenever I try to be funny and then someone reacts in a way I didn’t intend to. It’s not the person who didn’t get the jokes fault, they are even doing their job and/or are sensitive about what I tried to joke about.
I’d like to use me posting the “Sell Montana to Canada” petition as an example of this. I don’t blame Dana Jean for immediately flagging my post as political, she was doing her job. And I understand that the actual post wasn’t removed. I just felt intimidated when I meant to post something funny and then the first reaction I get is “this is political”. I then make the mistake of just trying to carry on the situation with jokes.
I feel intimidated and angry and what not because I enjoy this site and don’t want to offended any of the members on it. I feel like I just tarnished my image by trying to make a joke but accidentally coming off as political, and I feel this same way after coming off an unnecessary argument here, which I’ll get to next.
Most of me accidentally starting arguments with intentional political themes also goes next.
