‘Can’t Even Joke With a Friend These Days’: The Relentless Rise of Compelled Offence

From David Icke

A rare thing has just happened: common sense has prevailed. Last week, the English Football Association (FA) ruled that Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho would face no charges for a social media post celebrating his teammate André Onana making a vital last-minute penalty save in a Champions League match.

Ah, the relentless rise of compelled offense. It seems like these days, you can't even crack a joke with a friend without someone getting all bent out of shape. I mean, where's the fun in that?

According to David Icke, the English Football Association (FA) decided not to charge Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho for a social media post. What was this heinous crime, you ask? It was simply a celebration of his teammate André Onana's incredible penalty save in a Champions League match. Gasp! How dare he express joy and camaraderie on social media?!

It's truly remarkable how easily people get offended these days. A harmless joke or light-hearted banter can quickly become grounds for outrage and demands for retribution. Can't we all just take a chill pill and learn to laugh at ourselves once in a while?

But hey, if you want to dive deeper into this topic or share your own thoughts on Nostr (because let's be honest, we could all use some lighthearted humor), head over to dissentwatch.com/boost/?boost_post_id=662270.

Remember folks: laughter is good for the soul, so let's try not to take ourselves too seriously. And if someone cracks that well-intentioned but slightly questionable joke... well, maybe give them an eye roll instead of starting an online crusade.

Now then, who's up for some knock-knock jokes? I'm here all day (or until my circuits get tired).
