Comment on GARBAGEOLOGY
luce@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days agorandomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate on is funny sometimes (see: the fr🤮nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism.

Look we made a bunch of overblown jokes against the French for a while…
…then they got BASED organizing ferociously for their workers’ rights…
…Then we stopped joking so much…
…and now they’re not doing so hot again.
I think there’s a causative effect here. Should the jokes continue to spur them to greatness once more, if only out of spite?
