Elmo: "Ask a friend how they are feeling"

This fucking nobody: "STOP DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE"

What a fucking brainlet.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 1 points 30 minutes ago

They take themselves so seriously while acting like jokes

[–] teagrrl@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 hour ago

DON'T FUCKING TALK TO ELMO THAT WAY, YOU SCUM.

shouldn't andrew tate be in jail or something?

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 18 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

He was, but then USA pressured Romania into releasing the Tate brothers and they escaped to USA. Although Romania denies they were ever pressured, the Tate brothers was accused of quite a bunch of crimes including human trafficking, so it is awfully convenient that the Romanian government just gave them up like that.

No, because pedophiles are elected to be in charge to protect them.

Elmo dunking on losers via the cold silence of disregard. You love to see it.

[–] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 185 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Insane that these grown-ass self-proclaimed “alpha males” are beefing with a puppet.

[–] Mok98@feddit.it 83 points 1 day ago

And losing, clearly

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Don't misrepresent the situation, Elmo is a muppet not a puppet!

[–] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't that hotly debated? Don't come in here presenting your opinions as facts!

[–] Acid_Burn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 7 hours ago

I feel strongly either way

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago

On the other hand, this makes perfect sense if they're actually man-children.

Every time I read "He was a communist, Elmo." I can help but just laugh, it's just hilarious.

[–] MrVilliam@sh.itjust.works 37 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, MLK Jr was pretty clear about his position when he said that communism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. He was a socialist, which is a different thing. But let's pretend that he said socialist instead of communist... Wouldn't that make you kinda curious to know the details of what socialism is then? Because everybody says that King was a great man and helped achieve racial equality, so his ideology must not be as evil as everybody says, right?

So if you're young and maybe not super aware of politics and civics and everything, and you see this tweet in response to a general "Happy MLK Jr Day" tweet from Elmo, you're gonna have questions and your Google results are gonna lead you to answers that reveal what a fucking clown show the John Birch society is.

It's petty, it's factually inaccurate, and if chases young people to your opposition's ideology. Plus picking on a literal Muppet is the kind of thing a lazy writer would write to show how villainous a character is. What a disaster of a tweet, and I'm thrilled to see it.

Fragile fucks have to talk shit to an actual puppet spreading positivity because their ideology is such dog shit it can't be hyped.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why talk about yourself like that?

I mean it's completely true, and you should absolutely fuck right off.

But it's volatility...

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 50 points 1 day ago

This is what they say to Elmo in public, I can't even imagine the vile shit they send to Ms Rachel in private. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

[–] Carl@hexbear.net 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He was a communist, Elmo. (positive)

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 10 points 15 hours ago

the-deserter - "All the real communists are dead. They died fighting for communism -- are you dead?" His voice turns into a hiss: "No. You're an inert lumpen with a gun."

The two incel gurus reach such a higher plane of patheticness that they make the last one look out of place.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 5 points 14 hours ago

It's the opposite of achieving nirvana. Instead of being at one with everything, it's being at odds with everything.

“Tell Elmo how you feel today sweetie.”

I HATE YOU ELMO!

“Now, please tell Elmo why you feel that way. Use your words please.”

[–] meathorse@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Only possible explanation for these responses: Elmo is the true alpha here, both Peterson and Taite were traumatized as children/teens when they came home from school one day and walked in on Elmo, fur-deep in their mum with their father huddled in the corner crying.

This is the ONLY possible explanation for raging at a children's puppet like this.

[–] plyth@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Metaphorically that must be how they see the situation. Elmo and the culture Elmo represents have violated the culture that Peterson and Tate try to reestablish.

He was teaching her to count O's, and she was learning the big numbers that day. Luckily her toes were close at hand.

[–] polydactyl@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are such parody’s of themselves I am 60/40 on whether these are real or not.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 20 hours ago

I know atleast the Jordan Peterson ones are real but can't confirm the rest

these guys send unhinged tweets to Elmo in the same way that I do to sitting U.S. senators

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

I didn't know the rivalry between elmo and Kermit ran so deep.

[–] YetiMindtrick@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Elmo is clearly the leader we need.
