New York Crowd Wanted Genocide

Note to self: You just can't win an argument against a comic. You'll just end up being the punchline.

[@Vocal-Vegan]

my note to self is masturbation, if U produce sperm, could get u charged with genocide, in the words of the Great Monty Pythoners, "evry sperm is useful, evry sperm is good" n now every one of those millions of tiny lil swimmers or the special.......kinda swimmers, matter, every time they pop out to be seen......... i can hear them now...."i matter, i'm here, some r a lil queer, but gosh darn it the masters say we r good" now i gotta wipe them out my ear...............that is the dirty side of genocide, but spunk in the ear ain't right either so plz don't hold it against me.

[@OtakuBabiker]

In the last millisecond, you hear "I'd wished you say that!" Very excitedly after Sam described what his favourite genocide was

[@RichardRemer-u8o]

Worst genocide has gotta be one no one has ever heard of, because the people were erased. Like something with a single stele inscription from 5000 years ago talking about the destruction of a people we've otherwise never heard of.

[@genericname8727]

I know many Indigenous Australian communities were completely destroyed, languages and cultures lost forever, and this happened in far more recent history. I think many Indigenous peoples around the world have been wiped out in relatively recent history. I wouldn’t compare genocides, but I’m just saying there are recent examples of peoples and their cultures being destroyed by genocides.

[@SamPatricio7]

The genocide of Native Americans is the worst that is never discussed.

[@ERizzo5]

Agree

[@burgermind802]

also Indians, don't give the British empire a pass

[@ameenaftab2803]

Americans don't like to acknowledge genocide

[@Gazzaroo]

@@burgermind802agree our history is shocking. Does that qualify as genocide though? Genuine question.

[@AraVids]

I believe 80% of them died by disease though so idk if it would be considered the worst due to it not being the most horrifying. Like the holocaust and the Armenian genocide were much more horrifying and fucked up when it comes to murder, how they were murdered and so on and so forth.

[@afb8370]

[@Omer1996E.C]

@aurelien5747 because anyone not acknowledging the Holo.... as the worst thing that happened in humanity is scrutinised

[@tstyleartistry]

@aurelien5747 Because you're only allowed to care about the victimization of the jewish community. There have been several holocausts in the Congo and other parts of Africa, numbering 10s of millions of deaths, yet somehow the jewish holocaust is the only one we're to 'never forget'. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? Such a compassionate people, 'the chosen ones of god', you'd think they'd have love and compassion for ALL of humanity as God does, and not just their particular group. But hey...deceptions are the reality of this world. That's why it's important not to be 'of this world' and only 'in it'.

The reading teacher: Holy microaggressions batman!

[@genericname8727]

I think she was trying to highlight that the kids weren’t learning the basics because they’re uneducated but just because they’re starting in a new language. I think he was making fun of her phrasing because he’s a comedian looking for comedy, but I’m not sure that was actually a microaggression. Just acknowledging and emphasising her students are smart and capable learners but also beginners in the subject. Maybe I missed something but it seemed fine to me
