Isn't it wired that ''jokes'' aren't funny, but instead are just morally bankrupt statements? You never see this with jokes, but boy are ''jokes'' just a bunch of hate speech. So strange.

There are plenty of examples to show otherwise. There's an English comedian who has made that his whole schtick. But context and role are important. I'm guessing neither of those are relevant to this situation.

They were being very sarcastic.

“Mark McKenzie, who sits as a city councillor in Windsor, Ont., was running to represent the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore”

Saved you a click.

By the examples shown in that article, he is the standard conservative and probably thinks he is completely justified

Conservatives are not sophisticated thinkers. One might even be tempted to say they're unsmart.

Reverse Genius, if you will.

Still a Genius! /s

Anti-intellectual, even.

A reminder to everyone seeing the troll in this (and future) threads. The faster people just block idiots like that, the better.

So funny story I read your post and the following post was a troll, looks like I cannot block them unless I am suffering from the dumb right now but I can report them.

[–] deeferg@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sometimes you have to go to that users profile page, I had to do the same since it didn't allow me to block off of the comment. Hope that helps!

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

It helped thanks.

He assumed he'd get away with it because of all the crap Trump got away with

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It gives me hope that Canada is not following what's happening in the US.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

We will be tested on that later this month.

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

As should be.
