Wow, that zero upvote anonymous reddit comment sure is relevant to talk about.

For real. For all we know, the guy from the screenshot probably just got exhasperated on an online discussion and just wished for nuclear holocaust for the other person to shut up.

How many examples do you want? Or will no amount of evidence change your mind that this is something that happens, because you don't actually care, you just want to defend fascists?

Oh, I don't deny that it happens. I just don't base my beliefs around reacting to random internet weirdos, like the person in the comment seems to be doing, and as you seem to be doing with them, ironically enough.

What I do base my beliefs on is evidence. It's very funny to call this meme "evidence," it's literally just one random person on some random place getting mad and saying shit. I could literally go write a comment on reddit, like, "As a Biden voter, I love drowning puppies," downvote it, screenshot, and I'd have exactly as much "evidence" of what Biden voters believe as what you've presented.

Also, obviously the claim that I "defend fascists" is completely baseless and can be disregarded, because again, evidence.

People like to complain about horseshoe theory, but these kinds of situations happen so often! I wonder if it's something inherent to the authoritarian personality type — an inability to objectively examine one's own beliefs, maybe? Or inability to consider one might actually be wrong about something?
