Dude, I think ik what it is. And now i kinda agree with them.
You can't genocide yourself. The first world has to change themselves.
Equating the radical change we need to a genocide is litterally what fascists are doing with the "white genocide" bullshit.
UGOTFW meme "ironically" uses the SAME false equivalence. In doing so, It ends up just actually reinforcing an idea fascists are trying to spread. I'm willing to give up the joke.
Yeah, I also agree. But I thought it was about the "third world" genociding the "first world"?
I get the sentiment of the joke, and the way that comedy is the vehicle of reversal for the developing-world's vengeance upon the developed-world, but using the word 'genocide' is probably in poor taste both as a joke and as theory. I like and get jokes about people saying we need USSR-style gulags and purges, love a good purge, but someone saying 'unlimited genocide' is funny does feel fashy because that's what fascists do and joke about.
That being said, I'm not above and I can see the value of a dark genocide joke as a throwaway, for example as a sardonic comment about what is happening in Gaza, but for it to become a slogan is a bit weird. Just my opinion. I don't really mind too much either way, I just ignore it. We're not always going to agree on everything.
if only there were a slightly shorter way of expressing this exact sentence
