This is TERRORISM!
-The Music NOT the people Murdering Americans Kidnapping Toddlers and Stealing from Children!
they're on a generational run for being so far past their "switching to folk music" era
I like their music, I just wish they would stick to punk rock and keep their politics to themselves. Always sucks when a good band has to go woke.
I 100% believe this is a joke that just didn't land with the users here because almost that exact same thing has been repeatedly said by people who didn't know the machine they're supposed to rage at isn't the dishwasher.
It's odd... Despite its userbase being overwhelmingly left and politically aware, when presented with the decision about whether a post is a sincere chud or mocking chuds, Lemmy users assume the former extremely often.
We left the age of irony, when too many people showed a stupidity online, that was impossible to distinguish from a witty remark.
I mean, I get it. We're also overwhelmingly neurodivergent. We've also seen people say this shit for real. We've also seen a ton of folks say "it was just a joke" to defend the indefensible. Let's add to that we don't know who we're talking to and tone doesn't always transfer to text. So a lot of us (me included) will sometimes see someone mocking jackasses and think they're the jackass.
I caught this one because I make this joke A LOT. All the time. It will never not be funny to me. My buddy is writing a song right now that's a pretty thinly veiled indictment of influencer and grind culture (it's about giving up a piece of yourself to make a buck basically, and when you're not willing to do it you don't get to eat). He was bouncing ideas off me and I made that joke.
And when he releases it I will recommend it to everyone by making the exact same joke again. Folk musicians should stick to music and not be so damned woke! Can you believe this?!? Then I'll link the song.
I mean, when you consider the average opinion the people on here have on women it is not inconceivable for those people to also have stupid opinions about punk
Something something poes law or whatever, almost got the redditor out of me, I laughed
Yeah cuz punk isn't political or inclusive (woke) lmfao

Woooooooosh
Was this a case of the rare double-whoosh?
Sometimes you have to omit /s for the integrity of the joke and i respect that.
I appreciate that I can tell this was a joke, but I do not appreciate how I am now coughing from how much I was laughing.
i think the problem here is too many people actually hold this position on the dropkicks
I guess i can kind of see that, especially if you stopped listening to them around 2005 or so. The songs about working class people, drinking, fighting, and the old country would all appeal to the typical right-wing dipshit with their own idea of what solidarity means.
plus people lack media literacy. i've met too many people who think State of Massachusetts is a pump up jam about how great Massachusetts is
wow.
there it is.
you just put that out there, like you actually meant to. with all the charisma and delivery of a wet fart.
It is absurd the number of people who legit cannot identify sarcasm without the SpongeBob text or a flashing red "/s" tag.
Chill the fuck out lmao.
I refuse the /s.
The /s is like wearing a condom. Yeah it's safer, but sometimes you just need to live dangerously.
how would you incorporate vasectomys into this analogy?
Serious answer: I wouldn't--not every analogy works in reverse.
Non-serious answer: not giving a shit about downvotes is like getting a vasectomy. You can post all the "/s"-free sarcasm you want, but knowing there is no negative consequence means a bit of the thrill is gone.
nah just use the /s tag, I'm great at picking up on sarcasm via text. Your fault, stop bitching about what you've reapt and sowed.
Yep. All great jokes conclude with a "just joking". Brevity is the bane of wit.
Well, you see, the way human communication works is that we use details from our surroundings called "context". A big part of that context is what's called "human expression", which includes "facial expressions" and "hand gestures", which we use to "indicate" that we are joking.
That's the purpose of tone indicators. Sorry, you're wrong, ending a comment with /s does nothing to reduce the effectiveness of the joke.

Is... is this sarcasm?
