We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

There's been a coordinated campaign of dehumanization in the right-wing media for decades. This guy has been indoctrinated to see her as the enemy and to not see her as a person
Even the most evil people I can think of. The most I'd want them to "suffer" is the realization of how terrible they are, before they enter the void. I don't want them tortured. I don't want to hurt them. I just want them to not exist.
The "comments" this guy made are psychotic. I don't mean that in a hyperbolic kind of way. I mean in a "danger to society" kind of way.
So you want them to die, you just don't want them to be killed? Lol
I certainly see your point. That said, devil's advocate, the comment doesn't refer merely to political opponents, but rather:
Can you honestly say that you wouldn't painlessly snap, let's say, a proven serial child rapist out of existence? I think I'd do it, if for some reason the justice system was unable to stop them.
I'm not disagreeing with the previous comment, I just thought it was funny.
Yeah, there's a gulf of difference between wanting a problem to disappear vs relishing the incredibly detailed idea of pain and suffering of another human being. One's like putting down a rabid dog, the other is just pain for pains sake.
