Reply to comment by Dieg_1990 in TIL a year after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, the English sent their own Armada to Spain, leading to similar losses of ships and men, and an ignominious English defeat by malektewaus

Do you mind elaborating?

I am asking you to explain it, is what I'm saying. I haven't downvoted, just that the joke whooshed for me, isn't funny or makes no sense. I suspected it was probably the first so I asked you to explain it.

Sorry then, I thought you were part of that downvote group that didn't get the joke. I should have included a /s tho

Where I come from, when there is this kind of irrational "hate"/ antipathy towards a person/culture/group that it's firmly rooted, we claim it's due to subconscious envy. Kind of like when a comment hurts even tho it's true but you don't want to accept it.
