The joy of Facebook

In response, someone posted this:

This is of course precisely the correct kind of response: one shouldn’t be offended, or debate Gretha. These people can deal with hostility; in fact, they thrive on it. But the one thing they cannot stand is being laughed at.

Ruik haar vinger!

OH! The unending butthurt and rife FUD-spreading on facebook this fine morning over the religion in schools debacle is reaching new heights. Hans Pieterson: VERRAAD!

I can’t help but facepalm over some more choice commentary:

Sure showed that guy!

Water tight, well informed, no racism there⸮

Well, as usual we see Christians with their trademark tolerance, peace, love and understanding. Afriforum waving the Constitution in everyone’s faces the one day and fighting it tooth-and-nail the next. Business as usual in messy reality-world.

How do you play HELL, and who gets to be Mephistopheles?

Erm, huh!?

It’s fucking Predenstened!

Predenstened - a South African colloquialism for cofveve.

To be blessed with a name like “Piepmeyer”, oh woe.

Always remember: don’t just use any old medium. Use a Qualified Medium…

I’m sure the Hasbro company includes a detailed instruction pamphlet with their toy. Nothing upsets a loyal customer quite like finding that unca Pete got sucked into a pesky old hadean portal.

Now I gotta say, when it comes to a great deal of modern “art” I am inclined to agree with the good pastor. Anyway, now we know what caused the drought in the Western Cape. We just need to go burn down the art museum, then the rains will come again…

Is it weird that to me the worst part of that screenshot is quoting “mense regte”?

Stuff like this makes me think we’re ever one inch away from lynch mobs with torches… and I truly don’t think I’m wrong.

Edit: Or more aptly, “communities” with some goodyears.

Alas, you are probably right. On another forum, for the sin of criticizing the EFF goons and their destruction of a certain controversial clothing store, someone has already openly expressed the wish that I should die via farm murder. So it goes: we live in a new era of rising fascism on both left and right.

Die Kapenaars moet dalk liewer woes begin sondig, dan word daar dalk weer 'n Sondvloed gestuur.

Dem ghosts, they are a-coming…

The more I see goings-on such as these, the more I’m inclined just to sit back with a curious mix of dread and anticipation, and watch the looming disaster slowly unfold. Openness to reason just doesn’t feature big among mankind’s attributes.

Dunning-Kruger. The gift that keeps on giving. Most especially amusement and facepalms.

It’s what I do nowadays. It’s called having a life. :slight_smile:

Nee wat, as dit nie reën nie is dit die gays se skuld, as dit begin reën en daar is vloede, is dit ook die gays se skuld. Daai ene gaan jy nie wen nie.

Weet nie of die link sal werk nie Middelburg Observer maar dis 'n “gesprek” wat ek in die M/burg Observer gevoer het. Van die poste is verwyder (creative edidting deur ek weet nie ) en my vrae is tot op hede nog nie beantwoord nie. As die link nie werk nie, dis op Middelburg Observer se FB blad onder Regard Botha, 'n uitnodiging vir 'n “Manne kamp”. Hier sal jy lees dat jy god moet vra om die naweek af te kry om die kamp by te woon en dat die dood van kinders ok is.
