    You know that kid did kind of show up out of nowhere in the past couple of months.

    I’ve never seen him with any of his kids before.

    And if you think about it, he’s definitely a heartless bastard to do this.

    And now I’m wondering about a lot of wealthy elites I’ve seen with their kids lately. Many of whom I had no idea they had kids that were so strikingly young.

      Imagine being this kid and growing up and realizing one day the only reason dad ever suddenly started giving a shit about you was because he was using you as a meat shield because some guy named Luigi killed another rich guy. I’d be devastated

      Using innocents, especially the wounded and children, as shields are a staple of terrorists everywhere. There’s a reason why Hamas was posting up in hospitals and schools constantly like it mattered much to Israel in the end.

      All it takes for Elon is someone with better aim though. Aim small miss small.

        The IDF, the world’s most humane and civilized army, has a zero percent collateral damage rate! Everyone killed by them is Hamas! Children, the mentally disabled, the physically disabled, people who are unaware, mothers. All are Hamas if they die!

        Dear IDF soldier reading this: I fully support the Palestinian resistance. Please, whatever you do, do not bomb Elon Musk while he is next to Donald Trump in the Oval Office. It would make me very sad.

    In The Dead Zone Stephen King predicted society would turn on a politician who used a child to shield themselves from an assassin.

    I no longer think that is true, at least for members or associates of one party.

        …do you people even hear yourselves?

        I completely understand hating Elon, but wanting to shoot him and being ok with his innocent child being collateral is fucking insane.

        The fact you felt ok commenting it and at least 35 other people upvoted that is crazy to me.

            I don’t care who it pisses off, but I will never hold children accountable for the actions of their parents. If they grow up and continue their parents shitty actions that’s a different conversation, but preemptively assuming someone will turn out a certain way is disgusting.

        Do not judge the kid before they are responsible for their actions.

        Most of Elons children turn against him.

        Only here on Lemmy, people advocating for taking a sniper shot and potentially murdering an infant.

        This from the party of love and empathy, advocating for the rights of the working man, wondering why people think they are unhinged when outside their echo chambers

          And when thousands die (including children, infants, and babies all) because Mump (Musk/Trump) cut what little social help they have, it’s just fine and dandy.

          Unfortunately, sometimes this type of thing just needs to be done for the greater good. Two lives for the price of thousands who can barely afford to live as is.

              Again, there are thousands of other kids who will die thanks to Musk and Trump. It sounds wild to you, and it is definitely not something I would ever prefer, but that is where we are at right now, realistically.

                No. It’s where you are at right now.

                The rest of the normal people wouldn’t even entertain the idea of killing an innocent child just to take out one guy they didn’t like.

                You people all desperately need help.

                Your moral compasses don’t even have cardinal directions anymore.

        Batman isn’t real and nothing happened the writers didn’t command. How the hell are you judging a fictional character’s personality because the writers wanted to have consistent baddies for people to cheer for/against?

      Lemmy isn’t a political party, its a decentralized platform for communities and peoples of all kinds. Theres a left leaning bias for people who like unions and stuff but youll find plenty of communities for the far right and everything between.

      The real reason you see this only here on lemmy because you’re actually free to give such a hot take without being instantly banned by a centralized authority. Maybe you’re so used to supressed and sanitized corporate run discussion fourms you forgot what people are actually like when they are free to express themselves. This is just the darker side of humanity unmasked. The suffering common people wishing death on their ruling aristocracy who just sees them as cattle and not caring if their bloodlines die with them has been around pretty much forever.

      This is like a trolley problem: how many infant are you willing to run over in order to kill Elon? And how many children are dying just by the fact that piece of garbage is alive?

      I always find tge “only on x” comments to be an incredibly stupid form as hyperbole. Either you’re an idiot who doesn’t realize people will say the same type of stuff on discords, forums, Twitter, Facebook, whatsapp, texts/dms, and a plethora of other places, or you do know and you just ignore it to criticize the platform for whatever reason.

      Since you’re attacking (as others pointed out) a decentralized platform that anyone can spin up (including Nazis and the like) by trying to make us a monolith, I’m leaning more to the first, but I guess you could just be a troll.
