when i see people use "when you see what X did to Y, you'll never stop wanting to throttle him with your bare hands" it's basically never about something that's even close to the seriousness of the original context of that quote. so it kind of feels like you're making light of what henry kissinger did to cambodia. like sorry but the ecological damage of commercial farming to the american midwest is actually not even close to that. so maybe you can just leave that out and make your point with your own words.
this is not a joke or a meme format. this is an observation of a real, specific, observable evil.
#honestly see it a bit in ffxiv memes and while that is talking about fictional war atrocities the keyword there is fictional#definitely been feeling uncomfortable about the way the meme format has weakened the impact and seriousness of the original statement.#sometimes well-constructed phrases do not need to be bent into references. sometimes the words should be honored as their original message.
