The issue is you have bad reading comprehension and read a level of sincerity or complete misrepresentation into most of the comments you’ve replied to.
Half of the people in these threads don’t even know wtf you’re talking about bc you stood on a soapbox about how the guy is reactionary as if everyone didn’t already know that lol
This is a valid criticism that boils down to me being an annoying jerk in this instance and is very valid.
I can see this as true.
Yeah I really again don't buy this, there's plenty of "benefit of the doubt" being given here to shitposters. The same shitposters would be banned for supporting fash if they said the same exact things for a different reactionary moron. My problem is that if your excitement for the death of a CEO is leading to tongue and cheek, am I joking am I not, rehab of this dude, you're not as ideologically committed to "leftism" as you claim.
So say it very plainly, I'm not sad a healthcare CEO died. I'm sad that if tomorrow Atom Waffen (or similar neo-reactionary group) started executing healthcare CEO's there's a portion of this site that would be like "based" -- when politically that's really troubling even if they're killing "our enemies".
There's absolutely not a clear-eyed ideological understanding here among the majority of users. There's simply blood lust.
The first part really should inform your understanding of the rest of what’s gone on in these threads.
Misinterpreting stuff so badly that when you talk about it to someone it comes off deranged and tangential to the point they’re confused probably shouldn’t be seen as a win bud. You’re doing
shit that isn’t really productive.
As for the last thing. Idk how you don’t understand that people are supportive of the fact he killed a ceo. It is not the same as supporting a fash doing fash things like killing racialized and colonized people. And to try to equate the two is frankly real goober shit idk what to tell you
You think you’re dropping truth nukes and ruining fun but you’re just overly simplifying things, not really grasping the nuance of what people are saying and embarrassing yourself by insisting that’s not what’s happening when it very self evidently is
Yes. I need to be more productive on lemmy, the most productive place of all time, not a place I go off shitposting.
If I was to fully describe the irony that is happening here it is this: “Hexbear culture is now seemingly tolerating if not out and out celebrating a fascist for something he’s done, but will not tolerate a fascist in order to get them to do something they would find worthy of celebration.”
You understand it’s a shit post forum that isn’t that serious but simultaneously think all the shitposting about this guy is 100% sincere (and also take the cops at their word immediately). You’re either just being a dickhead to argue for the sake of it or are genuinely confused and lack the awareness to recognize it. Either way 👍
If Alex jones mercd a ceo tomorrow there would be jokes going around about “Alex jones welcome to the resistance” but no one would seriously think it made him a friend of the left or something
Acting like people joking about this guy a bit here and there is genuine betrayal of leftist principles while you by your own admission aren’t taking any of this seriously and being a general asshole to people you assumedly would consider comrades is wildly baby brained.
nobody asked but I just want to say that if Alex Jones merc'd a CEO tomorrow he'd still go straight to hell for harassing sandy hook parents but at least the CEO would be there waiting for him
It would also be the end of comedy because the funniest possible thing would have already happened.
There is absolutely zero credible evidence this is actually the shooter, I can't believe you are claiming to be a serious person while taking feds/NYPD at their word and in the same breath claiming to just be here to shitpost.
