Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

lol get fucked with that
You said we, this is a normal response that isn’t super accusatory or aggressive. It just sounds it because you’re interpreting it as directed towards you the individual, but it’s for “you all,” which is the standard way to respond to a comment in the first person plural
In my original comment, I specify. He's bonkers is referring to Trump, the actor of those referred to actions.
In your reply, you state 'YOU', as if the people against this / and? the people pushing it are responsible for that radicalization, and I take no responsibility for that shitstain's actions against our allies.
You could have easily been more clear by stating 'conservatives' or Trump supporters or - if you meant a blanket indictment - you idiots who didn't punish the insurrection / pay taxes to a corrupt system of governing etc., hence my dismissal of your reply.
Vague aspersions cast without insight generally get that response.
Thanks for taking the time to re-reply, even after your initial zinger got modded away just to demonstrate to the people that even when the average American says WE, they just mean.... ME.
Not much I can do to make my point more clearly than that.
chefs kiss
life's full of fun ironies, if we can find ways to appreciate them. a hard lift sometimes.
best of luck!
