Did you expect some kind of mass uprising to happen the very next day? A hundred million people out in the streets, all armed to the teeth, hunting CEOs for sport?

In this cartoon fantasy world of yours, what does "something coming from this" look like? Was his next stop going to be the White House where he would hold Biden at gunpoint until M4A is implemented?

Yeesh friend, kinda jumped down OP's throat here, no? Seems pretty uncharitable to go from their posted meme to "this cartoonish fantasy world of yours", and then take that even further.

I mean, OP never really described any kind of "world" at all, just expressed disappointment. So I mean.

...it's kinda your cartoonish fantasy world, by definition, isn't it? Whatever thing you're imagining here? Weirdly hostile take.

Uhm, are we looking at the same comic? Because it most definitely is making an assessment of the impact of the shooter's actions. What's the thing being impacted? I would say world. Charitable interpretation seems to me to point in the opposite direction of what you're saying.

You're defending a stranger who went hostile and attacked the poster of a meme in a place for memes. Spend your time however you like, I just can't imagine how you or the original commenter I replied to are able to take the littlest stuff - posted to a JOKE community - and extrapolate out (AKA invent) a bunch of serious takes, and then disagree with those fictional takes. The OP posted almost nothing, to a meme community. What y'all are doing is Don Quixote stuff (or more accurately, straw man bullshit), but like I said, spend your time however you see fit.

You're defending a poster who posted a meme that wasn't very good.

Spend your time however you like, but you're spending a lot of time on this to be questioning how other people spend their time

Clever reversal bud, sure got me.
