Good to know.

[orionvk]

I only talk about stuff related to conspiracy theories because I think it's funny. What is your stance on this stuff? :)

[justtryme90]

That it's lunacy. The globalist thing I find to be infuriating however, the insinuation of it being an insult and calling someone a Jew, is both racist and disgusting.

[orionvk]

I agree that it is lunacy if someone belives stuff like that and I think that if I were from your country I would not have said that I think talking about it is funny. But because we are from two very different countries we don't use the word in the same way. We Germans don't think about Jews when we talk about Globalists and the New World Order. :)

The term is what it is, even if you aren't connecting the dots.

I don't know if I agree because words can mean different things in two different cultures. Take for instance the word liberal which means more or less libertarian in Germany. Or Kindergarten which means Day Care in Germany. And this applies even to conspiracy theories: Most German conspiracy theorist of today who talk about powerful elites ruling over the world are not implying that these elites are Jewish. But the conversation I have had with you has taught me that I shouldn't make these jokes when I'm writing English because people from a different cultural context feel more unconfortable about this than Germans do because the terms are used different. Or in other words: What was meant as a joke in a German mind was not recived as a joke in an American mind. So thank you for helping me increase my ability to speak a clearer English in an international context! :)

Understandable.

What was meant as a joke in a German mind was not recived as a joke in an American mind.

I didn't assume it was coming from a racist place. The whole globalist thing isn't necessarily an "American" context, it seems to be more of an internet context.

So thank you for helping me increase my ability to speak a clearer English in an international context! :)

And thank you for chatting with me with regards to your intentions. :)
