I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.

Yep. “lol”

[-] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

Not even a lol from me, a slight smile is too strong of a description.

This isn't politics, it's schadenfreude journalism. We shouldn't get joy from the downfall of a couple who were manipulated by algorithms for profit.

Educating people about instances of leopards eating faces after a lot of people voted for leopards being set free to do as they like is one of the main jobs of journalism. And it might actually make a few people reconsider their choice, moreso than any other facts about the leopards.

I don’t feel bad for morons who get duped. I gotta live in this shithole country, so when people get what they actually asked for, I fucking celebrate it.

You have every right to be angry. Direct that anger at the folks doing the manipulation not the masses falling for it.

I can be angry at Facebook, which I dumped in 2008, and still feel indifferent towards people who post pro-ICE memes and get deported. These aren’t mutually exclusive things.

There’s no helping the majority of this country, if I can be blunt about it. I’ve been to 46/50 states, and the sheer volume of cognitive dissonance I’ve come across is just mind boggling. A solid voting half of this country believes that their hate for something is justified until it affects them or someone they personally care about.

I don’t walk around carrying hate towards strangers, so I’ll just point and laugh when they get delivered the goods that they literally asked for.

Posting memes, is not "doing the manipulation"? 🤔

[-] stinky@redlemmy.com 1 points 4 weeks ago

agreed. we're supposed to be obsessed with other people getting what they deserve.

"I stand with ICE [in cuffs]“

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 4 points 3 weeks ago

Mixed in with motocross and BMX video clips are racist and anti-trans videos and memes.

Good riddance.

[-] drdiddlybadger@pawb.social 4 points 4 weeks ago

Lmao

How many people are there like this it just keeps happening over and over.

[-] SGL@beehaw.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

It`s like Greg said. "Schadensfreude" journalism at its best...

[-] purplerabbit@beehaw.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

Still stand with ICE, now? Who stands with you?
