At this point sarcasm does not work. It just makes them think you agree.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

Honestly, this is why when people say ‘do you need the /s tag, you baby?’ I’m like ‘Yes!’

People are dense and say shit like that unironically. It was hard enough back when all we had to contend with was the normal amount of sarcasm not translating well to text. Now we also have to deal with emboldened idiots who think their fascism is okay.

How the fuck are we supposed to tell the difference now?

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

This is the unfortunate truth. We have to address it directly, sarcasm does not do it. They don’t have the self awareness for sarcasm to work.

This. None of them caught the obvious Stormfront name, nor can they see that homelander and his fans are analogous to Trump and his supporters.

In the spinoff Gen V, they even have

spoilerA fascist movement of supes that wants to subjugate humanity under the slogan "Make America Super Again"

😄

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I'm 100% sure they think Homelander represents out of control leftists.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 59 points 4 days ago (2 children)

They think Homelander is the good guy. I'm not fucking kidding

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

I haven't even seen the show and that "Homelander is not the good-guy" is literally all I know about it!

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

He blows up a plane in like the first ever episode or something. They make it VERY obvious he is the bad guy from the start. It's impossible not to understand that and yet

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I started rewatching it recently (I haven't seen the newer seasons). There is an argument that that plane was an accident. He lasered the hijacker and destroyed the controls. At minimum, it's incredibly careless though, and he's still at fault for it and for not really giving a shit about the people on the plane. It's possible it's on purpose, but they don't make it explicit that he's evil then. Only that he's selfish.

The plane with the senator though? Yeah, he did that on his own on purpose.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

YOU SHOULD also watch GEn V, which is the in-between seasons of boyz. in the plane incident, one indian lady said her family was killed, and she tried to take vengeance on all Vs and homelander by releasing a virus.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Huh. Thanks. I had literally never heard of that before.

[–] JandroDelSol@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

and yet indeed

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

All I know is that he drinks boob milk.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Homelander is their new punisher… except homelander is a bad guy.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I mean, The Punisher is also a bad guy, and The Punisher would be the first person to point that The Punisher is a bad guy.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Well when the education system of the US essentially teaches:

  • Nazi bad because they hated Jews. That's it. Don't look at why they chose Jews as a target to scapegoat societies material problems. Don't look at how closely connected fascism is to the interests of capital. And definitely equate them with socialism because they had that word in their name. Ignore the fact they put Marxist in concentration camps first.

And then teach:

  • Stalin bad because he was a "authoritarian" and purposely starved his people while eating all the wheat with a big spoon. This is all that socialism ever is. It's just when one guy has all the power. Don't look up what "Soviets" actually were. Definitely don't teach about the country that was most responsible for stopping and defeating the Nazis. It was all just our big bomb we dropped on a completely different country that was entirely needed and not an unnecessary show of force to the USSR.

Its easy to manipulate "educated" people to working against their own interests.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

I would argue that the USSR is only the most responsible when looking at it through the loss of human life. It seems likely they would have never made it to Berlin without lend-lease. No one knows if the Germans could have regrouped and done better without the aid to the USSR, maybe the same number would have died, just in different locations. But, most of the USSR's ability to move material around was due to the allies supplying them with logistics vehicles, both trucks, and railroads/engines/RR cars.

[–] copd@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

no, they would think homlander is good and trying to stop out of control leftists.

your claimed 100% certainty is hyperbolic and outright laughable

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 0 points 2 days ago

how could they get so wrong, when the people in the Show protesting are magats.
