Jack Black was mean to his friend just because his friend didn't like Trump
It's more "Jack Black is a coward and a poser" than being mean imo
All the keyboard warriors in this thread implying they'd happily shout out 'death to Trump!' on the world stage while having a kid and family living in the US (as JB does) are kidding themselves.
I have girlfriends in the US. Give me a microphone and I'll shout death to Trump as loud as you want.
What's worse, a keyboard warrior or a keyboard coward? Bitches out here pretending the guys report to Greg in accounting and have to worry about a visit from HR lmao
That would mean something coming from someone with principles beyond subservience.
~~Calling~~Wishing for the assassination of a political figure (especially one who is currently the sitting president, tho iirc, he was a candidate at the time) is pretty widely viewed as a red line and is very dangerous ground to tread for an American public figure, which he is.
Im pretty sure any "mean" thing he did is between him and Gaas, who has said they remain friends and will tour again as the D. Sounds like he is forgiven for anything you may have perceived as "mean." It seems like that should satisfy anyone with genuine concerns about his friend.
Or are you just canceling anyone whose rhetoric you view as insufficiently hateful towards Trump? (Dont answer that, it was rhetorical.)
edit: forgot it was a "wish"
He didn't call for it. He wished for it. Big difference. One involves other people, one involves candles, shooting stars, and genies.
That's a dodge worthy of slippery Don himself. We both know that "wishing" someone to die and calling for someone to die are both toxic discourse and doing so where Trump is involved is toxic as well as dangerous.
Kyle was no doubt saying it flippantly to be funny. And Id probably laugh if a friend of mine said it and I was at a private birthday party. I have that luxury because I am not a public figure. Jack Black, however, very much IS a public figure (as is Kyle, albeit somehat less famous,) which brings with it much more scrutiny and no doubt a different calculus.
Again, Kyle said theyre still friends and all is forgiven so this was all just an excuse to insert your toxicity into another lemmy thread.
