Sure… If you absolutely stretch the word to its barest of meanings, he received punishment without law. But he wasn’t lynched by any sane person’s understanding of the word. What an attention seeking little cry baby.
A teacher at the middle school where I (Texan) worked was complaining to me about how horrible it is that she had to teach sex ed. She said that the kids are too young to learn all this. I argued that anyone old enough to breed is already too old to start learning this. After some increasingly heated back and forth, I loudly asked “at what point during the pregnancy should children start learning how sex works??”
To double down on her stupidity, she said “the girls wouldn’t get pregnant if the schools didn’t have to normalize sex for them!”
Exasperated, I threw my hands up and said, “I forgot about the thousands of years during which humans cloned themselves because they weren’t taught about sex yet!”
I’d be curious to know why she thinks sex isn’t “normal”. One of the biggest tragedies of this mentality is that some percentage of the students who don’t get sex ed live in households where they get sexually abused and don’t know how to handle it, and think it’s somehow their fault.
I just realised, this is probably why they think African Americans are pussies for the getting all sad about “lynchings” because the dumbasses think it just means to be yelled at, and no strung up to a tree and hanged by a mob of violent, belligerent, angry racists.
“Literally lynched”

“I was just lynched” Is an inherently funny sentence to anyone with a laymen’s understanding of the word.
“Literally lynched.“
“I’m calling for a bunch of peoples lives to be destroyed and I’m the victim because people accosted and threw shit at me”
Yeah this guy can go fuck himself. This is how the fascists should have been treated from the get go, maybe we wouldn’t be in this situation then.
All nazis just want to cry for attention on twitter
That’s why it’s ok to give them a real reason
That is how they are currently abusing language that is usually used to protect marginalized people.
My personal favorite is how providing basic sex education is “sexualizing children”. Fuck these dishonest cowardly pieces of shit.

I will agree with her that SHE shouldn’t be teaching sex ed.
Yup. Same phenomenon. Same as we need to “protect” children from crossdressers. Or “protect” women from trans people simply existing.

“literally” has been used as an intensifier to mean figuratively for as long as its literal meaning.
He wasn’t figuratively lynched either lmao.
His feelings were.
