Oh fuck off.

(Are you going to take offense at that?)

I don't know about OP but I laugh at your words. They mean nothing.

Should we have a sense of humor about Latin American countries being overthrown so powerful interests can exploit their natural resources? What you call a lack of humor is IMO genuine compassion for people who have suffered a great loss.

I personally think we should have a sense of humour about everything.

The Russian reversal is one example of finding humour in darkness [1]. I found Elon’s joke to be in the category of the “be careful, or America will bring you some freedom” jokes that were popular during the Iraq war.

IMO it's a bit different when you're someone who financially benefits from the dark event. Like a random American joking about invading a company for oil, vs Dick Cheney saying that the invasion of Iraq will be great for Halliburton. There's a point where it stops being a "joke" and is just a sad fact.

Fair enough. I prefer to have more room for humour. And I bet this joke did more to educate Americans of Bolivia’s history than serious discourse has. But a reasonable point on which to disagree.

Educate Americans of Bolivia’s history? By saying he supports a coup against the leader? The New York Times already did that, only to later retract their story That suggested the election was fraudulent. The tweet has no informational content which could serve to educate anyone about Bolivia.
