A lot of countries could justifiably say that the British national anthem is a terrorist song, but since the British had paperwork, for some reason they don't see it that way.

It's pretty rich to say someone fighting against a literal genocide based on resource extraction is a terrorist. As the saying goes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

90% of the english people that say this shit couldn't tell you what the IRA was fighting for, why they existed or anything about the history of the matter beyond "catholics and protestants didn't like each other innit they're always fighting, terrorism is bad".

They just see "terrorism bad" and that's it. No other thoughts. No other knowledge. Genuinely the cognitive understanding of a toddler.

Different song, but feel free to sing along:

Oliver's Army is here to sta-a-ay!
Oliver's Army are on their wa-a-y!
And I would rather be anywhere else
But here to-o-day!

This is every thread asking for relationship advice on Reddit. Every last one of them is effectively structured as "My BF was unimaginably cruel to me, and I had a totally natural reaction to it, am I in the wrong here??" If it hits the top of r/relationshipadvice, there has to be a 50% chance it's either real or a total fabrication. They all know to go to r/relationshipadvice to ask their question, but they ask as if they've never even seen regular top content on the subreddit, which likely would align directly with their situation, and yield them the same advice. Any of these "ask reddit" subreddits has to be an exercise in creative writing, I swear. Edit: Also, most of them never actually reply to anyone in the comments, which really signals to me that these stories are just made the fuck-up half the time.

This isn’t reddit thing. There’s a lot of people esp women trapped in toxic relationships

TITLE:

My (21F) bf (39M) was a little mean when we were out for dinner tonight. I broke up with him. AITA??

BODY:

I (21F) and my bf (39M) of 6 years went out for dinner tonight, and he had one too many beers. This isn't usually a problem. For context...

«insert a few more paragraphs of creative writing here»

Then he slapped the waiter, punched a few kids, then stood up on his chair and started shouting, "WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER! WHITE POWER!" Also I am black. I told him I was going to break up with him if he kept doing this.

AITA?

Sometimes you can't even make up the worst ones. I read more than one story that was basically:

"I'm 9 months pregnant with our first child and when I told my husband I'd be due around the 3rd week of March he became outraged and told me 'I'm going to a golf thing with the boys that week!' and even though I explained to him that having him there for the birth of our baby would make me feel less stressed, he told me 'well I can't just reschedule this trip, you know I go on this trip every year! I've already paid for it.', am I being unreasonable? He hasn't talked to me all day."

My SO reads these subs, and I've pointed it out enough times over the years that now she can't unsee it either. I've never once seen a story like this that isn't a straight couple, either. I really do think the queer community has the right read here, the straights are not ok. Also, I bet you could just search for the word "Golf" on r/relationshipadvice and find hundreds if not thousands of stories about these golf dudes. I'm highly suspicious of anyone who regularly goes out with the boys to play golf as a result.

All the best ones really bury the lede in the title. This one, for example, is some A+ creative writing material:

TITLE:

AITA for making my sick husband clean up his vomit?

BODY (summary):

"He keeps puking all over everything, over and over again. He's got a garbage can right there, next to where he's sitting. Then after he pukes all over everything he goes to a place where there's no garbage can, and I move it, and then he pukes all over everything there, too, and makes me clean it again. AITA for not putting up with this very real situation?????"

Many parts of the internet could do with this disclaimer:
