    A homeless guy had taken a hostage in my city. One commenter said “I hope this poor man gets the help he deserves”. That comment was at -17. So I comment “Light em up boys” and I get like +30 because it’s pretty funny. And that is a “call to violence” so I got perma’d.

      Light em up boys? What did you mean by that? Did you reply to that comment, or as a top level response? Did you think you were being sarcastic?

        That means that instead of giving that homeless person medical treatment they should just shoot him.

        The wording, “light em up boys”, refers to how cops might talk to each other and how the cops won’t give the dude help they’re definitely going to kill him. The entire joke implies I don’t think he deserves help and instead he deserves to get gunned down in the street.

        Actually, in all honesty, I told my friends and they thought it was hilarious. I told my coworkers (we are all in our 30s) and they thought it was hilarious. It’s not a horrific hateful thing, it’s a joke and it’s funny.

      It seems Lemmy doesn’t like it either.

      The internet should have always been taken with a grain of salt, but nowadays half of society lives on the web and have made it into the shitshow it is now.

      I was unemployed for a couple weeks and spent them on my phone wasting away time between interviews so to say, i lost touch of reality so quickly to the point where just being allowed to live your life had become alien to me. I currently work at a construction company and i’ve quickly realized you can still live your life even though people don’t agree because they have no control over you.

      The internet is a dangerous place
