I can't tell how many layers of irony we're on.
Hopefully they're not like a little baby, because yikes.

Last I heard, refugees needed to demonstrate a clear, immediate, concrete, mortal threat, that you couldn't feasibly escape anywhere else in your country.
And if you're rejected you may not reapply and you may even be barred entry.

But I'm not a lawyer, so idk the details or what would qualify as such a danger (it even if I was given the correct information, so take it with a grain of salt).

I suspect that for the most part, probably not.

Sweet gherkin, I guess?
I'm not exactly sure what the category is

Naw, I'm sure that wanting to be sad and getting that is the way to happiness... Err... Or...

Using honest to goodness em dashes instead of just a hyphen - pretty uncommon.

Even a hyphen would be pretty unusual in a real text message, because they're more annoying to get than other common punctuation on the phone keyboard, and autocomplete won't put them in.
In a chat app, a hyphen would probably be somewhat common since it's right there on the keyboard, but a true em dash would be pretty unusual since most chat apps aren't going to be doing autocorrect like a word processor would, and you'd have to use the magic key combination to insert it.

But we don't have the original text so we can't tell if the original author confused a hyphen with an em dash, though

As someone who used to do shit like this all the time (perma-blocking people for perceived disrespect), it's not a great way to live.

Yeah they made a shitty situation worse, but being a coward doesn't make you a bad person. Besides, they're almost certainly a kid.

Is it really a valid point if you have an anime PFP?

If getting what we want makes us happy
And what we want is to be sad

Then are we happy or sad?

The giant rabbit that stomps on worlds!

Bitch, it's dry over here. Come to me! Why are you just standing there?

I think thats too pedantic of an interpretation (surprising, considering my name lol).

I don't really agree that something we'd recognize as a moral system could form in a vacuum.
If someone's morals diverge significantly from the culture they're embedded in, I see three avenues for them:

  1. Find a subculture or external culture to join to help galvanize the shame into resolve
  2. Adjust your moral system to align with the culture
  3. Sociopathy

Even in your extreme example, I think that only sociopaths could "go it alone", and that the people who did disagree with their culture often did so knowing that they weren't alone in that belief.

But really you're putting way to much thought into a shitpost.
