Hey bud don’t threaten me with a good time eh

Thank goodness for the context, I could have been misled about something important.

I don't know if it's just because it's cropped but I love how the context doesn't even clarify that he isn't actually dead lol

I believe the joke was that misinformation was allowed on Xitter by some tweet from Musky.

To which they responded by falsely reporting on his death.

Damn, I had my hopes on this one. Two misses in one month is a pretty bad record.

Wow, and this was from a verified account, so it's definitely real. Shit...

Oh well. Rest in piss and blood emeralds, you bloated fuck. Your kids hated you and nobody loved you (especially your dad that has sex and children with your sister).

This was the first thing I saw in my post wake up doom scrolling. You made me think today was going to be a good day.

You people are vile, wishing someone to be dead.

In context, it's a joke about how Elon removed protections against misinformation, not about wishing death on him. The joke only works if you know he's alive.

The joke only works if people have a semblance of a sense of humor. That can be rare hearabouts sometimes.

It was more of a reaction to the comments than the original post tho.

Ok ok ok, I'm going to lay this out for you.

Elon Musk wants people like me dead. They cannot be convinced otherwise and be giving them the time of day to try convince them not to kill me is, genuinely, a waste of time. They have made up their mind and believe that I am irredeemable.

His ideology itself is a declaration of the will to kill people, this isn't a case of "his opinion", his ideology in itself declares people like me unworthy of a happy, healthy and full life.

Wishing harm upon people like these is an act of self defense, not an act of wanton cruelty.

They want me dead so, I'm just giving them the same courtesy

Then you're no better than them I guess 🤷‍♂️

"I have killed 50 people in my basement"

"I think that guy is irredeemable and should be put to death"

You: these people are the same

You should go to the places where people want others dead for how they were born, not the fact that they cause massive suffering, and tell them that.

Different sides of the same apple.

Nice painting.

The spelling errors drive me nuts, though.

I'd like to see people like you vociferously condemning the instigators of hate as much as you always seem to the people who push back at them.

What makes you think those people and ol' ulph here are in different groups?

If it makes you feel better, I wish I were dead too 👍 This world would be better off without some people, some people would be better off without this world 🤷

Paradox of tolerance motherfucker.

Look it up

It's a paradox alright. Are you supposed to be one of the tolerant? Can't tell.

Tolerance is a social contract. People who practice intolerance are not owed anything.

That's the whole point of the paradox. Tolerance requires being intolerant to those who are intolerant. If someone won't be tolerant of gay people, you shouldn't be tolerant of them.

To put it more simply, tolerance is a two way street. If you aren't tolerant of someone, then you shouldn't be surprised when they and their loved ones are intolerant of you. If you're going to hate gay people, don't expect gay people and those who support gay people to like you.

Despite getting three reports I won't take action against Ulph. They don't seem to be a troll. I don't believe in removing proples comments just because they are morons

It seems like this community isn't as peaceloving as they made it out to be. It seems like the lines are fading.
