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.

Oh, yes, I turned against genocide and ethnic cleansing apologia because of internet weirdos, not because I think those things are bad.

I didn't call the meme evidence, I asked how much evidence you wanted. The meme is a joke about a well-known phenomenon. I'm sorry you misunderstood that.

Oh? Would you like me to dig up evidence there? Because I remember you quite distinctly engaging in apologia for tankies and doing Ukrainian genocide denial.
In fact, weren't you involved in denying the Uyghur genocide too?

You said fascists, not tankies. And what I did was say that I haven't seen sufficient evidence regarding a claim of genocide. Needing to see evidence before I believe something is not "genocide denial." Also, I believe I've been told by you and people like you that supporting genocide isn't even a deal breaker, even when there's plenty of evidence for it. I don't agree with that, because I'm anti-genocide, but it's pretty rich for you to try to get on your high horse with that.
It's rather impressive how many layers of "not using evidence" you're on at this point.

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?
