It`s like Greg said. "Schadensfreude" journalism at its best...
Mixed in with motocross and BMX video clips are racist and anti-trans videos and memes.
Good riddance.
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"? 🤔
agreed. we're supposed to be obsessed with other people getting what they deserve.
I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.
Yep. “lol”
Not even a lol from me, a slight smile is too strong of a description.
She didn't expect the leopards to eat her face...
"I stand with ICE [in cuffs]“
Lmao
How many people are there like this it just keeps happening over and over.
Still stand with ICE, now? Who stands with you?
