> In a November 2024 exchange, @beaverd weighed in after another user commented on photos of then-President-elect Donald Trump meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House. “Weird that he looks so happy while hanging out with literally Hitler,” the other user commented, to which @beaverd replied: “God I wish he was literally Hitler.”
Sounds pretty straightforward to me. What do you think he meant?
- billy99k 8mo agoI find that people in the HN community either can't detect sarcasm (on the spectrum) or are intentionally being dishonest. Not camp you fall in, tbh.
- bigyabai 8mo agoIt is difficult. Most of your comments are indistinguishable from parody despite you being (ostensibly) honest.
- clipsy 8mo agoIf you think it was sarcasm, I'd certainly be willing to hear what you think the actual statement being made was. Please explain: - What the actual intent of the post was - How the text of the post communicated that intent Thanks!
