A random Twitter user made up some bullshit and then everyone thought it was funny and obsessively repeated it. I don't find it funny or helpful myself, though
But you're doing it wrong. You have to make juvenile, belittling jokes for your tribe while decrying the belittling, juvenile jokes made by the other tribe.
Good forbid anyone might have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the person who literally wants to get elected in order to opress them.
Some people do not deserve respect. Especially pompous wannabe tyrants.
It's still not different though, only the perceived righteousness is.
You should have heard what people were saying about Hitler during WW2. They even wrote songs about his testicles. Outrageous disrespect.
Did you think Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer was funny?
Yes. Because it was absurd and not at all believable. I never had to Google it to see if it was true or based on truth.
That's just because the world was less crazy back then. Normally you'd know this was a joke but reality has been so absurd
The world might seem more absurd now, but it is absolutely more believable that he made some awkward remark about couches once that came out weird. So I looked it up and no, just some idiot lying flat out. That's why it really annoys me people won't rise an inch above Republicans on this. I mean honestly it barely would be funny if he literally did allude to fucking a couch.
Lol what? I knew immediately he didn't fuck a couch, and would need proof to believe it. Have better internet hygiene ffs. That's on you.
Yeah I must be a moron for googling to see what it was about. Judgy douche.
Lol you're literally the one being judgemental here about people joking and because you personally didn't immediately pick up it was a joke, then everyone else who is joking is wrong. I think you're the douche here
Nice job intuiting my inner feelings. What I said was that I don't find the joke helpful. We are supposed to be better than Republicans. They are the ones who typically make shit up.
But sure you were totally justified essentially calling me an idiot unable to Google even though that's literally what I did to even be able to comment what I did.
That's not what I said, which you'll notice because i didn't use those words.
You didn't like the joke because it wasn't obvious it was a joke, right? Or are you a different user? Sorry if so, bc Lemmy's reply system is not good on mobile for me
You didn't understand at all. I perhaps paraphrased you incorrectly but in my defense, it would be hard for me to interpret "use better internet hygiene ffs, that's on you" as anything but terribly insulting.
Again, all I ever meant to imply here is that making something up out of thin air, which sounds remotely plausible, is especially juvenile and unhelpful. If you don't agree, fine, but I don't appreciate the attitude about it. Being disappointed in your compatriots is not quite the offense you seem to think it is...
Lol sure, Jan
As I said, juvenile.
Lol you just confirmed what I suspected - your narcissism (which is pretty emotionally immature by definition). Only YOU get to pass judgement, only YOU get to insult others, when you do it, it's objectively the right choice and allowed. Lmfao take some psilocybin (decriminalized where I am) and deal with your hubris. Aren't you embarrassed to be that transparently egotistical?
Because I never self reflect or question myself as a narcissistic monster, I revisited this message to try and understand why this devolved so continuously.
This is a lot of projection. I literally told you that you can have your opinion and that's fine by me I just didn't need the snark. Your response from that point forward was snark turned up to eleven. Shocking that I'd call that juvenile, I know.
No self awareness. Yeah, I can judge too. Cry about it? You're no saint because you keep only your harshest judgements in until the moment you have an excuse to let them fly.
Lol okay, do whatever you can to stay away from addressing the issues in your life. Good luck with the narcissism.
You just described normal human behavior and tried to wield it as a weapon against me....even though you couldn't possibly even have a hint of a clue what my issues even are. A few messages back and forth do not make you my psychologist. Which btw yeah we all probably do need therapy, myself included. I might suggest that you consider your ego and hallucinogen comments as advice you yourself might take.
Lol this is something we can agree on. Think I will microdose right now. Have a pleasant day ✌️
