OP hates america, yet uses an american invention (the internet (invented in 1991(by Al Gore,))) to express that fact.
I’ve never claimed to be intelligent.
my sibling in christ - even if you're joking - pls stop digging 😭😭
A wise man once told me that if you stop digging you are in a hole but if you keep digging you’ll have a tunnel.
Which would you want to be in?
A hole or a tunnel?
definitely a hole duh
Your wit is impeccable.
I’m kind of sad you didn’t do your typical ‘delete account’ copypasta.
Can you do it so I can feel better about myself?
What a meanie

for real; how tf do they have today's highest upvoted post on lemmy.ml?!!!
has lemmy.ml been captured?!
Because it’s okay to take a break to laugh between reading theory.
americans' collective disregard for thier government admitting to such extreme evils is a comedy enough and of the divine kind.
i'm not religious, but i sometimes with i were true so that those evil people committing those acts and then lying about it would meet their comeuppance.
Do you find much of that on Lemmy?
You almost certainly hate China yet used a Chinese phone/PC to make this comment.
I have never expressed a hatred for China before.

Death to amerikkka and 'liberate' their inventions and internet!
Oh no..
How did people take this so seriously, especially on a meme community? (Gore?)
"Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views."
There is an urban legend saying he claimed to have invented the internet. What actually happened was that he was asked in a 1999 interview how he was different from other candidates and replied: "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. [...]". He was probably referring to legislative efforts.
I feel like I am watching a recursive meme stuck in an infinite loop and I can't tell who is being sincere vs who is shit posting.
Live stream of my reaction:
just enjoy the confusion
I am am aware of the reference. I guess the lesson here is to accept that I'm old and many others will not.
