Comment on It's never been about helping people

  FYI, this comment has been reported for “promoting violence”. Ordinarily I’d remove it for the “kill yourself” comment, but this seems more of a shitpost than an actual instruction or a promotion of violence. It’s a bit toxic but I’m going to leave it, and downvote & move on.

  Anyone who disagrees, feel free to chime in with your take.

    Right, well, I certainly think my comment is fitting. Original commenter called for violence against unsheltered and disabled people, so I find it kind of strange that my comment would be too far.

    It’s certainly a joke, not intended to commit them to commit, but I am genuinely telling this person to consider the gravity of the morality they just advocated for. The problem with the violence they just committed is that it is always just to respond in kind, and I don’t think this person seemd to understand that. If they’re the one that reported, even funnier. I guess I ought to stick to vague calls for genocide rather than meanness.

      Well phrased, and exactly why I didn’t purge your comment based solely on a single report!
