::: spoiler It’s The Beaverton. :::
What happened to all the conservatives upset about their gun rights? The vast majority are a bunch of hypocritical bootlicking cowards. They want an authoritarian master.
Turns we’ve been misinterpreting their “Don’t Tread on Me” slogan. We all assumed it meant the person didn’t want the government infringing on people’s rights.
Turns out they just meant “Don’t Tread on Me but feel free to tread on anyone else - even if they look like me or are doing things I support, that’s fine as long as it’s not actually me me.”
That’s probably too long to write on a flag though. So honest mistake. /s
Pls tread on POC and queer people. They coming for my job at the Piggly wiggly.
They’re not treading on me if they’re wearing me as the boot!
-Republicans, probably.

“But why was he legally carrying his registered firearm?” is the new “But what was she wearing?”
Come on, she CHOSED to go to the bar dressed like this in an ACTIVE seduction operation !

Bring long guns to protests.

Given the amount of people who are interpreting this as actual news, I feel that satire should be clearly labelled as such in the title. It’s embarrassing to have people going around saying “did you hear Patel said…” And then when people check it it’s literally a joke.
problem is that satire is now just stupid stuff they have not did or say yet. Like satire ten years ago was far fetched relative to what politicians or celebrities or stuff was doing but now its just stuff that is about the same as what they have done recently.
Satire from 10 years ago is less extreme than what’s actually happening now.
thats true. you take what is happening today and put it in a satire thing ten years ago and people would be like. man you have to be a bit more believable.
Yes I agree, it’s much harder to tell the two apart these days, which is horrible. All the more reason why it’s important to delineate them on sites like Lemmy. I mean, I get that it kind of ruins the joke to put [satire] in brackets at the end of the article title. But it’s better than creating misinformation
I live how you think satire is disinformation, but not the actual disinformation coming from your government constantly. But ya, satire is the problem. /s
No, I definitely think the disinformation from my government is disinformation. I also don’t think satire is misinformation - but I do think that people mistaking satire for true news creates misinformation in the minds of those mistaken people. I mean, they quite literally believe in information that is not true. If that’s not being misinformed, what is?
I’m not even blaming the satire agency, I think satire is great. It’s not The Beaverton’s fault that this was posted somewhere where people would take it seriously. Its the fault of the OP, and the fault of the commenters for not reading the article or fact-checking things. But that doesn’t change the fact that anyone who thinks this is real news is by definition misinformed, and the presence of this post in the context of this community is by definition creating misinformation.
I don’t even know why you assumed I don’t think the government disinformation is disinformation?
This right here. The problem is the satire and not,
- That the satire is even plausible.
- That people aren’t reading past the headline to the section that makes it obvious to anybody with half a brain cell to spare that this is satire.
The problem is that satire exists, not that an entire nation of 350,000,000 people or so are so badly educated they can’t spot the obvious signs of it.
Yeah. Boycott US. Even without the Nazis.
Maybe because it isn’t satire: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/minneapolis-shooting-alex-pretti/card/fbi-director-wrongly-suggests-you-can-t-bring-guns-to-protests-CDyg61zlcs1CJpVWmysK
You forget this is the government that is running The Onion out of business.
The satire bit is the bit about the schools.
But seriously, you’ve been going off on comments that don’t even care about the school part as if they’ve been fooled when all they might have done is just assume this was just a repost of news reported throughout multiple papers. If I didn’t know better, it’s almost like you were trying to dismiss what he said by portraying something very similar but with a “gotcha” that was satire, when the reality is that it is so close to reality it hardly classifies as such. Specially given how “obvious” you claim it is when this administration has not done anything if break the norms of expectation - it is missing one overlap with a school shooting from him actually saying something like this.
Everything is is so fucking bonkers right now this didn’t even make me flinch. We have DHS saying the guy brandished weapon when all the video contradicts that, and that border patrol guy saying bringing a gun to a protest means your asking to be shot and he assaulted the cops, not the cops assaulted him.
Yeah, it was only a few years ago that I realized thebeaverton was a satire website. It used to be on reddit where it’s it was on
atetheonionbut for communities that are not explicitly labelled i think it’s a good idea to help people out a bit.I did. Also it’s pretty fucking obvious if you read past the headline, even in just the quoted snippet.
We’ll keep bringing them as long as a federal immigration agency keeps executing American citizens 1300 miles from the southern border.

I typed an angry comment just to find out beaverton is the same as the onion.
Yeah. The poster is onion baiting.
This administration is so crazy that when good onion/beaverton articles drop you honestly can’t tell if it’s satire. Same thing happened to me the first time I encountered the beaverton.

That sure af sounds like impinging on our 2nd Amendment Rights.
So, in short: fuck you. Everyone arm up (and stay safe ofc).

“2nd ammendment! … No, not that way!”
The funniest thing is that this, literally suppressing the second amendment, was basically done just to try to act like there was some justification for his execution and in complete hypocrisy of what they promoted and pardoned on January 6th.

“we murdered a civilian following the law but you shouldn’t follow the law at protests or we will kill you.”

FUCK THAT GUY. Bring whatever you want now.

What is the point behind your cryptic tallying of the number of people your post has misinformed?
Amusement at people’s inability to spot obvious satire, even when primed to perhaps look at it first.
Why would a “patriot” who believes the second amendment is important to protecting freedom dissuade people from carrying guns? Is it to make it easier to shoot them without consequence?
Remember that kash fuckwit fbi-man berated his people for not having a cool bullet-proof vest for him to wear after charlie asshole’s face exploded. He’s a fucking diva. Be sure to yell and jeer if you see him in-person. Mock him for not having a girlfriend. That’s sure to drive him nuts cause he clearly feels the need to talk about her constantly to make sure everyone knows.
Leave the firearms at home. He’s implied you should bring cannons, and motolvs.
I wonder how many children he has raped

Is this the right place for satire?
It’s clearly not, because the majority of commenters are taking it seriously, thus making this effectively misinformation. It’s sad that the title is believable as real news, but unfortunately it is.
Canadian satire making cutting jokes about the American Hellhole? Sounds great to me!
You didn’t answer my question.
I believe I did. You are, however, permitted to hold wrong opinions.
