Also another gripe, - My frustration with my dad's indifference over Iranian General's assassination due to "Nah, it's gonna be the same" type cynicism (though it might be due to growing up and well-informed during Cold War, even regional conflicts like Yemeni Civil War and Iran-Iraq War). - Not discounting jingoists, my grinding gears also being "World War 3" tweets (I agree that conflicts may be inevitable, but this sort of overblowing cry-wolf tend to do more damage and good). - Finally, people using Team America's quotes or similar assumption of how "both sides are bad" without regards to their own bias and unwilling to accept criticism (Good when you are stuck with naivete "Interpretative dance for World Peace" pacifist and jingoistic "Go America/Logical West" moron. Bad when you lack the knowledge about Geopolitics and informative sources yourself, as pointed out by Wisecrack video--including Matt and Trey's own political bias and their anti-academia--on that movie.)
