There are two responses to any thoughtful discussion that I just absolutely, no doubt, despise. Just so you know. Number 1 is the why are you posting about this when there is ______ going on in the world (or in the Middle East, or in a 3rd world country, i.e. the first world problems condescending what are you complaining about, youve got it good, comparatively speaking responses). These can be in response to anything, and often to a physical problem. Its the same as posting videos or photos of more disadvantaged or physically challenged people in response to someone being sick, and can be about anything from politics to sickness. Number 2 is very similar. If you think _____ is bad here you should just try to live in ________ where its much worse. These are not arguments. You can ALWAYS find someone of some country that suffers more than you or whoever you are aiming your passive aggressive you should be grateful attack. The fact that someone else is suffering more DOES NOT NEGATE the suffering of another individual or group. And it is a TERRIBLE reason for ignoring the post and refusing to try to improve said situation. They are just not helpful and do not contribute to any discussion meaningfully. They just dont. If you use them youre just trying to change the subject and youre trying to distract from the real issue at hand.
