Irony rule
Irony rule
This is very ironic, but not at all funny. While the irony may be satisfying, it isn’t going to improve things appreciably and reveling in it is not a healthy thing to do.
If you laugh at someone getting shot because they supported gun violence, then you have just lowered yourself to their level and now everyone is just back to tribal violence.
This isn’t even potentially as beneficial as the killing of someone like Brian Thompson, because you can at least make the argument that it might make CEOs think twice before systematically exploiting people for profit. As ironic as it may be, this is not going to move the needle in a positive direction or change anyone’s mind for the better.
shut up oh my god with this lib shit. don’t clutch them pearls so hard.
no, laughing at a horrible person dying the way he wanted others to die every day is not lowering yourself to his level where he laughed at minorities and political opponents being shot and advocated for more of it.
and you’re wrong, the circumstances make it objectively funny. this is how you’d kill someone in a movie like Airplane, without the graphic imagery. no one who’s laughing at this is saying it’s good that this kind of thing happens, or it should happen more; charlie kirk did. his last word was “violence”. maybe he shouldn’t have been advocating for gun violence with a massive head and neck that are hard to miss.
I get your point but it feels like just a spin on the paradox of tolerance.
My enemy in this case is laughing at something they support happening to someone they don’t support.
I am (not really) laughing at something i don’t support that happend to someone who supports that thing.
The thing here being, far too easy acces to firearms.
I’m not advocating tolerance. The key difference is laughing at someone’s death isn’t just an expression of disapproval, it is a devaluation of human life in general. It isn’t a question of being justified in laughing at their demise because they laughed at horrible things; the very act of laughing degrades yourself.
Let me put it another way: Epstein and his accomplices deserved to be gang raped by all of us in prison. Should we run a train on them? No! Because that defiles us as much as it does them.
Yours is a perfect false equivalence.
Epstein was offed via bedsheets. We can also laugh at that.
You can also dig up his body and rape it still: yahoo.com/…/jeffrey-epstein-final-resting-place-1…
Might be too decomposed at this point.
You’re really dedicated to this. I’m sure someone is eager to engage your bad-faith . . . suppositions dressed in slightly bigger words than usual but it ain’t me.
Enjoy your day.
I’m sorry you assume this is in bad faith. Internet text messages leave a lot to be desired when it comes to conveying a message. I am sincere, but I’m afraid I often come off as know-it-all, arrogant, holier-than-thow, in an attempt to make my point. I’m afraid it is self-defeating. I need to learn how to communicate these things better.
I sincerely hope you can enjoy your day also.
