Ah, plenty of people have been taking things literally on Lemmy, there’s been many people not understanding the irony and getting pissed off at jokes.

But yeah, it’s meant to be ironic, based on the dumb shit Americans say and post to Facebook. If you see it on Facebook, are you American?

If you truly think that, you really don’t understand the post. There zero chance you are from Europe if you don’t understand this post, as it includes certain things that piss people from Italy off that are obvious to Italians (and most Europeans are aware of).

Unless you’re autistic and are just taking the satire literally

What about the bit in the middle?

Honestly we should unite and perform a coordinated attack on fox news, the same way that anonymous took over russian news stations, russian sites, and even hacked russian GPS.

This isn’t just a case of freedom of speech, this is mobilising, terrorising and seditious speaking. The US government themselves know best just how powerful this propaganda is, as they’ve used it themselves against many governments. They’re doing the exact same thing at fox news.

, a book written about how the US government destabilised and dissected government’s that they viewed as hostile and communist.

We have known for a long time that fox news creates soviet style propaganda, but now, with Russia being hostile and China semi-hostile, surely they’re trying to destabilise at best, start a civil war at worst. Why doesn’t the USA do anything to stop this clear and obvious cooperation with the enemy?

Freedom of speech is not freedom to incide sedition. It doesn’t protect people from convincing traitor’s to pick up their weapons. Fox news should never have won that lawsuit where they claimed “no rational person would believe it” because that’s irrelevant. A good portion of Americans (30%+) are irrational. So why discount them? It’s like saying “only a criminal would shoot someone if we paid them to do it, therefore when we pay them to do it, it’s not our fault”. Well yeah, only a criminal would do it, but you still paid them!

Most people here are American. It’s kind of sad, I was hoping to switch to here from Reddit, but without my favourite sub it’s pointless.

No flairs and the majority of people are Americans who don’t understand our humour and get offended. Many don’t get sarcasm or satire either. It’s just a sad attempt at the sub.
