You expect something that literally threatens people with fatal violence to get sensible discussion? Sure it's a meme and all, but shit like this is just asking for trolls to start shit. No one should get threatened with violence, even in the form of a meme or a joke and it just gives assholes more fuel and no-one wins.
Oh look, an actual sensible comment.
I completely understand that, a 100%. My point still stands, fueling the fire that is the whole problem isn't exactly doing any good even if it might feel good for a moment. You can't leave food laying around and then get mad if you get ants. I even understand the want/fantasy/whatever for violence when you're at the receiving end of it constantly. But there's tons of comments wondering "how are the comments like this" when you don't really need all that much brainpower to see why. Stooping to their level isn't going to do any good and will be used against you by the very people who are privileged/bigoted enough to behave that way and not get shit. Why supply them with ammo is all I'm saying.
And stooping to their level only makes you an asshole, a tad justified one, but an asshole nonetheless. When both sides justify themselves because they're right or justified or whatever the excuse for violence and bullshit is, it's just idiots fighting each other. And while this meme could be in response to violence, it doesn't really read that way - it says respect. If you think you can demand respect, especially by threatening to murder them, from people so clearly uneducated, unintelligent and idiotic that they behave the way these bigoted pieces of shit do, you're going to have a hell of a hard time with everything in life. Just bashing your own head against the wall. That's not how respect works either, especially when it comes to people who you surely know aren't going to do it in any case.
With a post like this, that to them just "proves their point" about whatever, and dressed like this, did you really expect there wouldn't be any assholes? And from the comments, there's assholes on both sides in the comments as much as being angry and pissed is only understandable for one side. Every side is right in their own mind even if one side is completely wrong, but you don't change an idiots view by threatening them or giving them more ammo to attack you with. There's a ton of comments here that don't really work in favor of the cause, but even I'm getting attacked just for stating a fact about feeding trolls and being against violence - violence against disrespect, not violence and people are celebrating that. Which again, only works in favor of the bigots on all levels. But it's clear that there's no sensible discussion happening in this post so I'm out.
I hope things get better, because the assholes affect all of our lives and make things shitty for everyone but themselves. Stay safe.
Yes, most aspects of human history like warfare both threatens human life and is open for debate.
You do you, if that's how you want to live. You're seriously going to act like this post was a sensible and reasonable opening for discussion? Never did I say anything about discussing violence, but this post isn't a discussion in any way and you know it.
Yep, sure will. Die mad about it.
Sure, buddy lmao. I don't know what your problem is and I don't really care. The only one here that's mad about anything is you. Keep feeding the trolls and wondering why your life is so miserable. Have fun, love.
Lol nah, you care, that's why you were bitching about it. But if you want to play it cool to save face, it's okay. I'll let you. The rest of us will happily continue to enjoy the thread knowing it was made in good faith.
Whatever you wanna tell yourself. Learn to read.
Enjoy your hateful delusional circlejerk and all the trolls. An asshole is an asshole no matter what flag they fly.
LMFAO "in good faith". Stroking your ego and patting yourself on the back for exactly the same kind of behaviour you're mad at at the people on the other end of the spectrum for? No wonder you're so salty. Keep fueling the fire that makes you miserable, but don't cry about it when it burns you.
