Looks like you missed lesson on to have it just post the meme, not the link

No, I don’t condemn any memes that call for death and destruction as I don’t take any of this shit seriously. It’s a fricking entertainment website, nothing more, nothing less. Some people get upset with memes calling for deaths of others, some get upset on abortion, some on Muslims and their beliefs. I just simply read them, see if I have a fishing angle and then go. I will poke fun at some people I think are wound way too tight. I will laugh at some of the memes that have a dark humor to them as that is right up my alley. I do like to post crap that I know will trigger a response, then sit back and keep dangling a hook.

I'm okay with any meme calling for death, of Trump, Hillary, Nancy, McConnell, hell even you, because as I said, I don't take any of it seriously. So feel free to post away

Liberal_Antagonist: words matter, and I hope you see that one day. I used to find enjoyment in trolling and testing the bounds of the permissible, but no longer.

I believe memes influence modern culture, and I know a lot of impressionable and persuadable kids are here.

and over the past couple of days have come to the realization that future historians seeking to understand what average people thought about issues in the year 2019 are going to go straight to meme sites like this.

As in every sphere of our lives: we can choose to leave a positive impact here, or not.

Words on a meme site are influencing modern culture? Historians will use sites like this as a factual point of reference?

Nice bait you have there, may have to use that on the next trip

Not for studying facts, but for studying attitudes. So, not hard fact-historians necessarily but cultural historians and political scientists.

Suit yourself

You seem to hate memes calling out death threats toward libtards, but how do you feel about people yelling to kill the pigs, or posting that he will pay $500 to anyone that kills an ICE agent?

I mean it's not great, but at least he's not calling for /unilateral/ killing of ALL democrats, only for the punishment of death for crimes that, he believes, have been committed by /certain/ dems.

Another catch-22 is that many on the left believe "patriotism" is a bad thing, therefore they don't think /treason/ is a bad thing.

I would readily agree all the examples you provided above of death threats from the Left are disgusting and also have no place in political discourse.

I just haven't seen any of it here.

Some of those are indeed just memes on a meme site like this, but some are out in the greater public, like twitter, and grafitti on physical ads. That's because it's generally publicly acceptable to hate certain groups to that degree right now, like conservatives, white men, cis heterosexual men, cops, etc.

I think I've seen one or two like it on this particular site, but I'm not 100% sure. I normally only see memes that have gotten traction, and let's face it, that's rarely left-wing memes.

What group is "acceptable" to hate depends on the company you keep. I won't deny that hatred against those groups is permitted by some on the Left, but in many conservative groups, it's perfectly acceptable to hate on Democrats (naturally), homosexuals, transgender people, the mentally disabled, feminists, Mexicans, even black people.

If I could snap my fingers and make them all stop doing it on the Right and the Left as well, believe me I would. But I don't have that large of a platform and can only have a chance of impacting the dialogue here.

While true, I said "publicly" acceptable, I wasn't referring to echo-chamber acceptable.
