A Facebook group for Cybertruck owners is full of videos and photos of passersby and other drivers flicking them off, leaving notes that say “WHAT’S ELON’S CUM TASTE LIKE?,” and “NAZI CAR,” and people kicking their cars, throwing slices of cheese at it, etc.

    Ok, you have to be trolling at this point. But in case you somehow are not:

      Hey, so I’ve got no horse in this race and also not a native English speaker so please bear with me.

      To me the op’s statement sounds ironic, but not really a projection. According to google, to project is to unconsciously attribute your thoughts/feelings onto someone else. Like if you’re having an argument and you’re losing and as a self defense you claim that the other party is angry and or unreasonable or whatever.

      In this case the cybertruck owner says the guy shaming him should be shamed. He doesn’t realise that it’s him who should feel shame, so it’s ironic.

      Am I missing something? Or was it all just some joke and I’m just overthinking it?

      Or is the guy being downvoted because he’s being an ass, not because he’s wrong?

      “You have to be trolling” is rather in the same category as “do your own research”.

      You’re just not able to verbalise what you meant, because the original person didn’t mean anything and was using buzzwords to appear smart.

        You can not even keep the person you are replying to straight. You got called out for a bad take and now like some sort of american are having a tantrum until someone tells you how smart and right you where/are.

        Best of luck!

            I find it rather funny to mock people who use buzzwords to pretend to be smart.

            Oh the irony.

              This is precisely what I mean.

              Name one buzzword I’ve used pretentiously.

              You couldn’t even name two distinct categories of irony. Yet you want to comment like that, because you (rightfully) expect the moron mob to side with you.

              You do know votes don’t mean you’re right, it just means people are angry at me for saying what I’m saying, right?

              Argue the argument. Not the man.

                  Never claimed to be infallible, did I. Thank for pointing that out. I often get stuck on it and then just roll the dice. Most European languages it’s with an e not an a.

                  And that’s just the derivatives from the French “intellectuel”. Also my native language is “intelektuelli”.

                  I think it’s a pretty understandable mistake, in my opinion, and doesn’t void my argument. Neither have I asserted being an intellectual, just pointed out who definitely isn’t.

                  Would you disagree?
