    Yes, everyone should take it as a reminder not to listen to people on social media with no idea what they’re talking about.

    Because obviously the people spreading dangerous information will insist “just a joke bro”.

    Even if you’re not lying now, you’re gonna keep doing it. You’re going to get someone hurt and seriously fuck up their lives from behind your keyboard. Like, either youre naive enough to think /s isn’t needed, or you just don’t give a fuck that some people will invariably not “get the joke”.

    Lots of right wingers are going to be springing up on similarly fresh accounts doing the same thing intentionally for nefarious reasons.

    Maybe you’ll stop, but I doubt it. Some people just don’t have empathyenough for others to put a second thought into the consequences of their actions or even words.

      Fresh account? I’ve been here two years, so I’m not sure what you think you’re saying with that.

      And I maintain - I wasn’t joking. It would make me happy if ICE got a taste of their own medicine. It’s not a lack of empathy, it’s reading comprehension.
