Insane that these grown-ass self-proclaimed “alpha males” are beefing with a puppet.

Don't misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

Isn't that hotly debated? Don't come in here presenting your opinions as facts!

On the other hand, this makes perfect sense if they're actually man-children.

Every time I read "He was a communist, Elmo." I can help but just laugh, it's just hilarious.

Yeah, MLK Jr was pretty clear about his position when he said that communism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. He was a socialist, which is a different thing. But let's pretend that he said socialist instead of communist... Wouldn't that make you kinda curious to know the details of what socialism is then? Because everybody says that King was a great man and helped achieve racial equality, so his ideology must not be as evil as everybody says, right?

So if you're young and maybe not super aware of politics and civics and everything, and you see this tweet in response to a general "Happy MLK Jr Day" tweet from Elmo, you're gonna have questions and your Google results are gonna lead you to answers that reveal what a fucking clown show the John Birch society is.

It's petty, it's factually inaccurate, and if chases young people to your opposition's ideology. Plus picking on a literal Muppet is the kind of thing a lazy writer would write to show how villainous a character is. What a disaster of a tweet, and I'm thrilled to see it.

Being called a communist is a compliment tbh.

Fragile fucks have to talk shit to an actual puppet spreading positivity because their ideology is such dog shit it can't be hyped.

Why talk about yourself like that?

I mean it's completely true, and you should absolutely fuck right off.

This is what they say to Elmo in public, I can't even imagine the vile shit they send to Ms Rachel in private. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

shouldn't andrew tate be in jail or something?

RedSnt@feddit.dk · 25 pts · 199d

He was, but then USA pressured Romania into releasing the Tate brothers and they escaped to USA. Although Romania denies they were ever pressured, the Tate brothers was accused of quite a bunch of crimes including human trafficking, so it is awfully convenient that the Romanian government just gave them up like that.

Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.

This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.

He was teaching her to count O's, and she was learning the big numbers that day. Luckily her toes were close at hand.

plyth@feddit.org · 4 pts · 199d

Metaphorically that must be how they see the situation. Elmo and the culture Elmo represents have violated the culture that Peterson and Tate try to reestablish.

Darkard@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 199d

Elmo: "Ask a friend how they are feeling"

This fucking nobody: "STOP DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE"

What a fucking brainlet.

“Tell Elmo how you feel today sweetie.”

I HATE YOU ELMO!

“Now, please tell Elmo why you feel that way. Use your words please.”
