lol well don’t beat yourself up about it, that’s understandable, and to be fair, it’s a great movie but I wouldn’t expect politicians in Texas to understand the message.

The men on the Green Mile were forced to carry out the execution of John Coffey (like the drink but not spelled the same) despite knowing he was probably innocent and might’ve genuinely been what religious people would call a vessel of God.

It’s a tragic story but one of Stephen King’s best because it does a great job of highlighting the hypocrisy of modern Christians. If Jesus came back tomorrow, they’d find a reason to persecute and execute him again.

Satire isn't always pure fiction. Sometimes it's just reiterating a stupid point to highlight how ridiculous it is. Satire doesn't mean "fake" and the success of the joke is not dependant on whether or not people are making those same arguments themselves. In fact, a lot of the best satire assumes the headline you're putting forward is mocking genuine but daft arguments.

Just because you managed to type out an opinion on the internet doesn't mean you are entitled to other people's time and effort.

Not every random hot take in the comment section of The Onion community is going to be worth engaging. Particularly when the point is "cities are all shitholes so you should just leave!"

They post just enough random topics to claim they aren't a troll. Their goal is to spread just enough propaganda to discourage leftist and sway centrists on Lemmy (lol centrists on lemmy).

They’re a textbook example of a concern troll. But unlike Reddit, Lemmy is too small for their M.O. to go unnoticed. It’ll be nice when they eventually tire of their tactics being called out and go back to Reddit.
