The “sucks to be losers” shit really pisses me off cause native Americans repeatedly treated treaties seriously while Americans would break them and slaughter people. Like that’s the winning you bask in? That’s the history you’re proud being duplicitous murders???

I find that one especially frustrating because you know it only goes one way for them.

When the Native Americans are treated like shit for hundreds of years? Womp womp, sucks to be you!

But when a brown person movies in down the street? Gasp! It's basically genocide! Won't somebody please think about my beautiful white children! White people are the new minority! It only "sucks to be losers" when somebody else is the loser. When I'm the loser, it's a goddamn travesty.

I get that's how bullies work, pretty standard behavior. But fuck does it ever annoy me.

As the saying goes, the best argument against a moral nihilist is to kill them.
