You seem to misunderstand humor. It is humorous specifically because there is no link between murder hornets and the aformentioned groups of people that USA “waged wars against”. The fact that you’re stressing that the joke “took extreme liberties” is kind of absurd - that is the point, to subvert expectations. Which is a part I already explained in the comment in which I explained the joke once. Let me go in for a deeper dive.

The language of “USA waging wars on XYZ” is often used by media to fabricate distorted view on reality, in which a group of people is presented as threatening to the country despite the opposite being the case. That language is well known and it is well estabilished as a useful propaganda tool. Reaction to usage of that language in cases that warrant outrage (as in, for example, for groups of people I’ve mentioned in my first comment) would often be one full of sympathy towards the victims and, at the very least, distrust towards the media outlet that used it. All of that sits well within the expectations of the reader.

The aptly named murder hornets however murder bees, which almost everyone knows is a bad thing for the world in general. There isn’t much things that would make people in general think “that’s bad”. They do not have a good reputation and none reedeming qualities.

They’re not what you would expect one to defend, you would not accuse USA of a psy op to smear their name, and you would not think that they perhaps have a stockpile of oil that that old, dastardly United States of A wanted to steal. And that’s the subversion of expectation, portraying the murder hornets as victims of USA propaganda and comparing them to unjustly prosecuted people. That’s the humorous part. Do you get it now?

You’re trying to somehow tie it to the work of people that pulled this off, but you only could go for calling that disrespectful if you believed any disrespect was meant, and that would require you to believe my (already explained) joke was meant as serious defence of the hornets. And I’m sorry, but that’s just dumb. I don’t feel like you misunderstood the joke, but rather that you’re trolling for the sake of rage baiting. I’d appreciate it if you stopped.

And if you understood all that and still feel like my joke wasn’t funny, I’m sorry, it does seem you aren’t a part of audience that this joke was meant for, and my frivolous joke-comment written while morning-pooping did not brighten your day. I’m sure something else will, as long as you put effort to find it. Good luck!
