Lynching is suicide now?
I don't even know how to respond to you. Your comment seems utterly tonedeaf to me, but the upvotes seem to say the opposite. I'll just say that it's not healthy to always be angry. Besides all the politics and the polarisation in society, normal life still goes on with all it's individueal joys and sadnesses. Don't forget to take a break and experience life every once in a while.
it is healthy to be angry at fascists.
Take your own advice and stop crying on the internet over depictions of a dead cartoon Klansman t shirt and go back to the Charlie Kirk memorial where you came from.
Nice try, but this is not suicide. The point of the cartoon is irony. The Klansman is a symbol of racial hatred who historically used lynching as a tool of terror. He is being killed by his own symbol, the Confederate flag. It's a commentary on how hate consumes itself. You're purposely interpreting this as a commentary on suicide. This is like seeing a war movie where a soldier is shot and claiming it's offensive to people who lost a loved one to a school shooting. The method of death is the same, but the context is entirely different.
Shut the fuck up now.
Of course that is what it is. I was making a counter argument. That is what the picture was literally asking for. Maybe it was a rhetorical question, but I answered it. I am sorry I hurt your feelings with that.
Nice try with projection. My feelings are not hurt, I think we all know who's feelings are hurt in this situation.
It's funny how you and yours are so involved with this conversation. I'm curious how that all works, but I'm not going to find out and that's fine.
Cry more crackkker
I'm quite chill, not american, have lost a close person to suicide, hate the whole black and white sportsteam US nonsense life, but this tee-shirt does not depict suicide, hence your downvotes.
I don't think the person who found their rommate hanging in the kitchen after a night out, cares much if the picture of a hanging person is a lynching or a suicide. It gonna trigger the trauma in either case.
Then that person needs help with the trauma, getting upset over a statement tee-shirt is a sign they didn't deal with the loss.
Okay, apolitical Andy.
