I dont see that as a call for people to assassinate biden, but a sarcastic accusation that democrats are trying to assassinate trump.
Listen i know most comments are trying to voice a grander opinion but mine is simply a genuine belief that he was being an edgy dumbass who didnt consider how much influence he has over dumb people that might see it as a call to action of some kind.
If you are truly asking me then theres my answer. If you are trying to uncover my secret status as a disinformation agent or something then please… leave me alone.
Why are you getting so pissy when people respond to the comments that no one forced you to make.
So nowhere in that response do you say how it’s a joke. At best it’s a baseless accusation that democrats are trying to assassinate Trump, flying in the face of all evidence that the people going after him are Rebuplicans. At worst it’s a call for assassination of the democratic candidates.
I don’t think you’re a disinformation agent. I think you’re either a Elon nuthugger or a useful idiot uncritically parroting Elon while ignoring everything he’s said and done for the past few years. Maybe both.
If I understand correctly he’s not saying he thinks it was a proper joke, only that it seems to him that Elon thinks it was a proper joke.
What if you werent right about that though and i was offering my perception based on very little context?
Its just frustrating how stuff gets extrapolated to make me something im not based on nearly zero information about me. Why does it always have to be about who the commenter is instead of the fact that it seemed like elon probably thought he was joking or not being irresponsible? I think hes an idiot who misguidedly pursues free speech for its own sake.
Can you really tell me any response to my comment has good intention to talk about what elon meant? Because it just seems like people want to destroy some unsorted injustice by calling me out for other things i might think.
I see you dude, just wanted to say at least one person gets what you’re trying to say (hope i’m not alone). Sadly, according to lots of people, you can’t give the enemy the benefit of the doubt without it meaning you agree with them.
And i really appreciate that. I know im complaining about the worst of lemmy, and there are much better places to find compassion in people than a political sub and these people just want a higher ethical standard in the world… but damn if we dont need a better way to communicate about this stuff.
