"Hitler loved my joke about gassing the Jews" isn't exactly proving your point, Dave.

I'm sure the proud boys or kkk would love some of the racist jokes I've heard at work.

I wonder how Chapel would appreciate them.

I think that's the joke. Honestly I feel like this whole thread is a huge woosh... Did everyone miss the joke?

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The joke is "haha! see? I'm not funny! I'm just a soulless piece of shit grifter"?

You can't be serious. He was over there talking about how we don't have free speech here.
