I just don't understand the mentality of telling someone you're blocking them either. If they're a troll, you're just going to make them feel smug about having pissed you off. If they're engaging in good faith, it makes you look like the asshole.

Like... What would they gain by telling you they're blocking you?

It's just one view, but I read it as some schoolyard attempt at having the last word.

Nearly everyone can see that it's a load of childish bollocks, but it's a nice red flag to avoid a world of hurt trying to engage with them.

Maybe I'm just too jaded to deal with clowns any more.

I suppose that kinda works when blocking on a platform like Reddit. On the fediverse though blocking is just a mute, so they still get to reply to that comment.

I dunno. Honestly this whole chain is so bizarre I’m wondering if they’re ok.

Besides, if joking about fascism is so bad then why is Charlie Chaplin regularly credited with torpedoing Hitler’s mystique? I think it’s honestly a civic duty to mock authoritarians. Shit, any person in a position of power should be mocked to varying degrees

Joking about fascism is bad because it hurts the fascists' feefees

Someone has been sniffing their own farts. Don't worry, my block button works as well.

How typical for the ignorant to attack what they don’t understand with childish insults.

Keep believing a lie. It’s clearly working very well for you.

Thank you for explaining why you started off with this:

You sucking the shit out of the asshole

Hostility towards any sign of intelligence is always the first step in the downfall of any society.

Can you block me too? I’d hate having to read more hissy fits from such an insufferable ahole like you lmao

No one’s making you do anything. Exercise some self-control.

Just like no one is forcing you to be an ahole, yet here we are ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Exercise and self-control

Said the user cussing out everyone in this thread lmao. The irony is as high as your lack of awareness

Wow, you edited down paragraphs showing your absolute lack of sense of humor and subtlety to:

You sucking the shit out of the asshole of fascism is not a virtue. Neither is having a tantrum when I call it out.

That’s just cowardly. You can be wrong, sometimes. It’s ok, you know?

“Standing up to oppression is cowardly”

Clearly, your brain has been washed and rinsed a few hundred times. I pity you.

You didn’t just eat the onion you squeezed the juice into your eyes. Did you read the article?

How about restoring your original comment and defending that?

I think you need to get off the Internet for a while.

Oof, there are a few things you might wanna learn:

People have different tastes. What I find funny, you may not like it and vise versa.
Some people consider some things too serious to joke about. Some people don't. I am one of those people that say that there is nothing in this world, that cannot be joked about.
It is absolutely possible to take something serious and at the same time laugh about it.
