    Yeah that’s more of a french thing. Us Brits will continue to use tongue in cheek references rather than directly addressing the issue with force. We want a rebellion, just not an uncouth rebellion.

      I’m British-Canadian and when I went back to London I told my British friends how much I’d like to strangle Musk or Trump to death with all the problems they’re causing.

      My friends were like: “you realized you just said take the life of another human being”

      Your comment really reminded me of that lol.

        I’ve thought about it, and I’d totally do it. I would have also killed Hitler if given the chance.

            The consequences, obviously. Why do I see comments like this all over the internet?

            The poster above was obviously saying they have no moral qualms about killing elmo, not that they are ready to sacrifice their own life to accomplish it. Surely, that was easy enough to understand. So in a climate where a lot of people are venting their frustration and rage about this issue on the internet, why do I see people putting in the effort to give this as a response.

        Unironically probably the best way of seeing some action. Just a shame most are too busy eating whatever slop farage throws out.
