We’re all human

Why is he ok with people that don’t treat others as human, yet expects to be treated as human himself, then?

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I think the easy answer is that people like that have a narrower definition of human.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 5 points 1 hour ago

I agree. Those people are twats.

"It's not just about what happened to me. It's about everyone in this country. If you disagree, don't retaliate. Don't be violent. Don't try to hurt your neighbor. We're all human,"

I mean, if you believe that, my guy, you shouldn't have bought the nazi truck. You also definitely should not have gotten a fucking gold one. You also ABSOLUTELY shouldn't have driven it around in MASSACHUSETTS. I flip these fucks off when I see them here. I don't agree with physically threatening them, but c'est la vie I guess.

I just love that someone is complaining about people being rude to him in a state with such rude, aggressive drivers that the term 'Masshole' was invented to describe them.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Yeah, massholes aren't nice to anyone unless they need it. You want someone to be kind to you in Boston? Get irresponsibly drunk and start crying on the bathroom floor otherwise they're gonna tell you to shut the fuck up, fuck right on off, and get the fuck over it because they assume you can handle hearing it and may need to.

Be careful out there, flipping off other drivers is considered "road rage" in some places and can get you ticketed.

Plus, a thumbs down with a look of disgust is funnier!

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 2 points 51 minutes ago

Only if you do it outside the vehicle. This actually came up years ago when I took a motorcycle course. Since you're always outside the vehicle I guess you can't flick people off.

I throw them one of these looks.

You're only here for the ziplines

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 hour ago

Orrr little light vandalism if you're going to commit

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Bro, as a Massachusettsan born and raised if you dare touch my primary form of expression ya gonna get a hot cuppa dunkins in the face. That'd be like banning wicked sick donuts in a rotary.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

It can also get you shot, people are insane in their cars.

He thinks his family isn't safe in it... Yet he continues to drive it

You drive a rolling swastika and BLARING sign of historical wealth inequality that you've literally wrapped in gold - you deserve so much more fucking hate culminating in a brief rest of your heavy head that wears the crown on the guillotine. Tone deaf, fucking ghoul.

Hasn't he suffered enough. I mean, he's driving a 'gold cybertruck'

"I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I'm richer and better than them."

Later...

"Waaaah! Everyone's being mean to me because I'm telling everyone I'm richer and better than them!"
