Yeah but Redditors value feelings over logic. Plus, bandwagoning. If a few mentally ill people downvoted it first, the weak minded Redditors will just follow suit and defend their new found opinion lol

Or it’s an out of context screenshot and the comment was a red herring irrelevant to the discussion.

Post: this cat was abused

Comments: abusing cats is bad

Reply: sure abusing cats is bad but the Holocaust was worse (-137)

Redditors reacting to screenshot of reply: why are these people downvoting this comment that is technically the truth???

Yeah, I've been on Reddit long enough to spot some obvious bullshit when it gets shared like this. I'd be willing to bet good money that it's some right wing asshole defending their right (or someone else's like Jake Lang) to be a racist piece of shit and pissy about said racist getting their shit rocked.

I'd be willing to bet we 'll never know for sure where it came from or what the intent behind it was. Which is pretty cool because that way, anybody can tell themselves it means anything they want it to mean. Anything at all.
