  Hey man, I don’t disagree with you.

  However, I think if you take every article you read and turn it into, “meanwhile I am waiting for someone to fix the planer.” You are not really doing much. All of us, including myself, want what you want but those are things that are irrelevant to this article and we should take to things that are relevant.

  Fuck fascism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and anything else that is down right degrading to any human being who is just trying to be happy

  In the same vain though, fuck hornets, fuck those little murderous monstrosities.

    That was a joke about USA assigning threatening labels to anything it threatens or exploits to make public afraid of it instead of being supportive of it. As most jokes, it based on the subversion of expectations, which in this case was the suggestion that hornets are good and misunderstood. Comparing them and what they’re doing to bees to gay or black people was intended as a sprinkle of dark humor, implying their (hornets!) destructive nature finds parrarels with the multitude of oppressed kinds of people.

    Way to tell me I’m unfunny and my sense of humor sucks, man (jk)

      I think you might want to go back to some of your source material and rework it if you think it’s funny.

        Funny, that’s exactly a reply one would expect from a 4chan dweller. Is there a miniority or other group of people that USA demonized for profit that you’re angry I’ve neglected to mention in this joke about imperialism and hornets, or was there something else that triggered you to go in swinging with insults? Apparently at least one other person found it funny, so I feel like the reason the joke didn’t land with you might have to do with you not being the target audience, whatever it might be.

  I hadnt heard “murder gays”. Not sure that one is very dangerous sounding. Statistically speaking, dangerous gay people must exist, I just have never met one personally. Odd.
