        Is this a real tweet?

        Lemmy users really will take the most obvious jokes at face value.

          Could’ve been a real tweet, if someone there had the balls to make the joke. Poe’s Law and all

        What’s brilliant about promoting a crime? And what’s next? Call to kill all Jews or something?

          Quite a jump from shoplifting to genocide, which makes for extremely poor rhetoric. You should’ve at least listed every next step, e.g.: shoplifting -> robbery -> armed robbery -> murder -> several other steps -> genocide. Which still looks absurd but like, less.

          It was once a crime for black people to sit at the front of a bus in America. Guess that means Rosa Parks is responsible for the Holocaust.

          Thank the gods we had you to point it out.
