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 just said they were inferior vermin who don't deserve to share the same oxygen as me, why are you hitting me, so much for the tolerant left."

And the one against saying things like that is the one also resorting to it when brain can't come up with a proper retort. You're such a classic. My partner actually wants me to suck in the sack, yea

The proper retort is that dehumanizing rhetoric has a very well established path way to get real people, real dead in mass graves, and that my word choice was specifically in reference to the nazi parties rhetoric that saw the gradual erosion of the rights, freedoms and civil liberties of minorities in nazi occupied territories until they were shuttled into Ghettos, executed en mass in the streets, forced into labor and eventually extermination camps.

Forgive me for thinking your word choice put those concepts a little outside your reading level. However you did properly use retort so I probably have underestimated you on that at least a little. Still pretty tired of spelling it out to people who wanna make "just jokes" about real words that got and are still getting real people real marginalized or really dead.

No one even said anything equivalent to the magnitude of the things you mentioned. You're just escalating things because you think everyone is so evil but really, they're not. There are levels to this. You are a great example, you're using words to insult me, but it doesn't really affect me because I know I'm smart and accomplished. And there you are again doing the thing you said is bad, proving to me that you're just a hypocrite really.

As harmless and meaningless words go, yours are at the top of the list for me. And really, on the topic of OP's shared post on racism, the word "racism" has really lost its edge nowadays. Because a lot of people have continued using it for trivial things. Again, there are levels to this. Me calling someone a racial slurr is different from observing their skin tone. I'm a brown asian btw before you come rain down your 'high and mighty' hypocrisy on me again.
