My favorite scene from Black Books, a show by just Dylan Moran and nobody else but some input from his talented co-stars but nobody else besides that

I mean, if you're talking about Seasons 2 and 3, you're completely right.

I'm guessing he's a Nanjing Massacre denier, which is unfortunately common. Skip the Rape and Massacre sections of that article if you don't want to see some really really disturbing photos. TLDR: Japanese troops captured the Chinese city of Nanjing and raped and killed 300,000 civilians over the course of 6 weeks in 1937. For a long time, it was swept under the rug, and it's still denied by some Japanese government officials, and apparently that Twitter weirdo.

Chunks of Japan hail Tojo as a hero so that's about on par. On the other hand, every country does that kind of poo poo while pointing the finger.

The rape of nanking was so atrocious that the German observers sent there by the Nazis were sending reports back to Germany that were the letter equivalent of nervously tugging their collar.

To be clear, it was so bad it made the Nazis uncomfortable.

Like, they're saying that three oranges is celebrating the death of three people somewhere else because of The Godfather's symbolism around death and oranges?

...what!?!??

I was under the impression that orange and green in the UK and Ireland is often referring to protestants and catholics, whose reputation for getting along has been less than stellar.
I can definitely see how some brainwormed onliner who communicates most of their intentions with emojis might make the (definitely stupid) connection of 3 oranges = 3 people stabbed.

That's just me guessing though and I could be wrong.

There was a show, Peaky Blinders, based on a real early 20th century street gang with the same name. They were named for the razor blades they concealed in their hat brims.

How the gently caress are you going around trying to be an intimidating gang and calling yourself the “Peaky Blinders?!” “Oi mate, you better watch out for my peakies! My peakies is really dangerous, they is!” gently caress off, how did you people make an globe-spanning empire?

That's just a brand. Most people would call it "washing up liquid". Which is a little odd if you think about it too much but so are lots of things I guess. Not like Americans don't have a lot of weird rear end names for stuff.

One emoji is used to convey an idea, three emojis is emphasizing it. It's become universal language at this point. So it's hilarious how many people conveniently ignore it when they're looking for reasons to be outraged.

If someone's being a clown you end your sentence in 🤡. If they're being such a loving clown that they've become Twitters main character, you use 🤡🤡🤡.

Oh lord, my local NBC affiliate ran a piece saying how George Soros isn’t some overarching antifa boss and the local nut jobs are all out in full force. There’s just too many of them to isolate. It’s funny how if they run (even political) stories without certain keywords, the comments section is very different.
