“Me no get it,” explained Reform Voter Derek Williams, with a deeply furrowed brow and finger in his ear. “Nigel won. Nigel get house. Nigel the big boss now?” they queried, with all the political sophistication the Reform party has come to rely on during the election campaign. “Where Nigel? WHERE Nigel??” When it was explained to Derek that Nigel won a single constituency, out of 650, and that Reform MPs can actually be counted on one hand, Derek looked ever more perplexed. “Consti-chewsy? Nigel win election. Not Consti-chewsy! Nigel WIN! NIGEL STOP BOATS!” At this point Derek began to get agitated, and it was decided it was best to calm him by returning him to his natural habitat inside a Wetherspoons with a copy of the Daily Mail in front of him.

A man who is a staunch believer in free speech after spending the last four years bemoaning cancel culture, is now up to three boycotts a week because of people saying things he didn’t like.

Wow. What a remarkably silly thing to say.

Fair. To be honest I just wanted to share my thoughts about The Green Mile. I love that movie lol.

lol well don’t beat yourself up about it, that’s understandable, and to be fair, it’s a great movie but I wouldn’t expect politicians in Texas to understand the message.
The men on the Green Mile were forced to carry out the execution of John Coffey (like the drink but not spelled the same) despite knowing he was probably innocent and might’ve genuinely been what religious people would call a vessel of God.
It’s a tragic story but one of Stephen King’s best because it does a great job of highlighting the hypocrisy of modern Christians. If Jesus came back tomorrow, they’d find a reason to persecute and execute him again.

**Joe Biden’s son Hunter has officially withdrawn from the race to become President of the United States following his felony conviction for gun offences.** Many right-wing commentators have long speculated what a felony conviction for Hunter Biden could mean for the political prospects of the Biden family, and Hunter has spoken publicly to put an end to all such speculation. He told reporters, “Although I plan to appeal, I respect the judicial processes in the country, and the rule of law, and as such, I think it would bring shame on this great nation to have a convicted felon running for President – which is why today I announce that I have no intention of running for President, or any office for that matter. “It would make a mockery of our democracy if I were to try and become President having just been judged to be a felon by a jury of my peers. How would we look on the world stage? I would have zero credibility outside of my own crazy supporters. That is no way to lead a nation. “No, that can not happen – and I don’t care if this puts an end to my own personal political ambitions, I must do what is right for this country. And that means reluctantly stepping away from frontline politics. “My father, of course, will continue his career in politics, because he’s *not* a felon, and only ill-informed imbeciles will blame him for the actions of his son.” “Remember to vote in November!”

Satire isn't always pure fiction. Sometimes it's just reiterating a stupid point to highlight how ridiculous it is. Satire doesn't mean "fake" and the success of the joke is not dependant on whether or not people are making those same arguments themselves. In fact, a lot of the best satire assumes the headline you're putting forward is mocking genuine but daft arguments.

Just because you managed to type out an opinion on the internet doesn't mean you are entitled to other people's time and effort.
Not every random hot take in the comment section of The Onion community is going to be worth engaging. Particularly when the point is "cities are all shitholes so you should just leave!"

Downvotes clearly from upset people
I love it when people edit their comments because their hot takes get downvoted but insist it's everyone else who is upset. Ha.

They don't seem upset to me just dismissive. If I had to guess I'd say they probably don't want to keep explaining to you what a facetious remark is. Which is probably a good idea, because you seem to be very dumb.

You don’t have to punctuate your comments with “just my opinion.” I can assure you, everyone knows it’s an opinion.

They post just enough random topics to claim they aren't a troll. Their goal is to spread just enough propaganda to discourage leftist and sway centrists on Lemmy (lol centrists on lemmy).
They’re a textbook example of a concern troll. But unlike Reddit, Lemmy is too small for their M.O. to go unnoticed. It’ll be nice when they eventually tire of their tactics being called out and go back to Reddit.

Holy shit, have you done anything in the last decade besides post on reddit?

OP, do you ever check to see whether a news item has already been covered in the communities you post in? I suspect you don't because this seems to happen daily.
I know you’re a prolific poster but maybe you should slow down a bit to make sure you aren’t constantly leaving duplicate posts in your wake.
