Ironically, if you’re a Catholic who truly believes, being killed while celebrating mass on Palm Sunday would be a best-case scenario for you. Of course, it wouldn’t count if you actually believed you were going to be killed. It would only count if you thought you would survive, and then were killed.
Okay, you’ve left out a key part of the post, the title. “We’re catching strays” (as in “stray bullets”). So, the point is actually that “red hat” Linux and “red hat” MAGA have no important connection, yet the word play, “you can’t spell hatred without red hat,” works just as well for red hat Linux. That’s why it’s a stray bullet. It wasn’t aimed at Linux, but it hit Linux, anyways. That’s the point of the post. That’s why it’s posted to the Linux Memes community.
OP’s humor is that Linux accidentally shares a symbol with these MAGA people, and so if you post it to a bunch of Linux people, we can all jokingly say that it seems like they’re criticizing an innocent Linux distribution.
My comment was a joke that I invented some situation where Red Hat had accidentally done something far worse in the past. I don’t know what you’d call it, maybe a play on dramatic irony. They’re taking these stray bullets, so wouldn’t it be funny if they’d made a similar mistake in the past, only a million times worse, but only a few people knew about it.
You see these sorts of jokes all the time on TV. Like a guy has it all set up to propose to a girl on the big screen at a baseball game, and so before that, they put them on the kiss cam, and she refuses to, saying that she doesn’t like public displays of affection. So, then the knowledge that the proposal would be much worse is funny.
So, there’s really no extra context. If you understand the humor of OP’s post, I think you should understand the humor of my comment.
Okay, I’ll explain it to you, but only if you play along.
Explain to me what is the purpose of OP’s post, with the protest sign at the no kings protest.

That’s because it’s an untapped market. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone into a Hallmark Store, and found myself completely unable to find any card to send to a special cunt. And then, when I ask the workers, they act like they don’t have that sort of card at all.
Yeah, I was going to say that there is nothing inherently illogical about the misanthropic person, despite what the meme implies.
Very likely even the people who wrote the letter expected this sort of outcome.
In the old testament, there were occasions where god supported one side in a war.

Downvotes are meaningless, except to give me a list of usernames who don’t know how to participate in adult discussions. I don’t have much in the way of respect for people who take stock in them. Donald Trump got the most votes in 2024, and it doesn’t mean anything except that tens of millions of people made a poor decision when voting.
I literally just explained it to you. I’m not being cagey. I think you must be used to not getting jokes, so I’m not sure why you’re blaming me.
You don’t understand the humor of hearing about something that seems to be a coincidence, and then hearing a separate example that is overtly terrible in the same way?
Honestly, it’s a little weird that people can’t identify such obvious shitposting in a meme community. This is the second time it’s happened in two weeks.
It didn’t help their cause when they coincidentally came out with the “Fascist Fedora” release, and they had to decide to stop naming their releases after types of governments.
I view that as part of the “worst President” information. You know. “In our countdown of the worst presidents, you knew you’d see the child rapist Donald Trump. But where will the convicted felon, serial liar, and insurrectionist go? Will he be the number one worst?”
With this comic, I will now be better prepared. If something like this happens, I will simply say, “Hooray! My very own butt-snipes! Thank you! Where are the tongs?”
In this case, it seems nature and nurture would be pointing in the same direction, though, since mothers generally raise their own children. So if either nature or nurture had an effect, you’d expect it to have a result.
Just wait until the next time the groundskeeper comes by with his lawnmower.
Trump is desperate to get his name on everything before he dies. He’s always been desperate to get his name on things, and now that he’s getting older and more infirm, he positively reeks of desperation.
But I suspect that the future historians won’t be kind to him and eventually we’ll get his name off of everything and his only real legacy will be in every list of history’s worst American Presidents.
They didn’t say it was a video game. I’m also pretty old, and I’m sure the first game I bought was either playing cards or some version of Monopoly, or maybe a D&D starter set.
We don’t need to put that man’s name on anything more than it’s already on.
