    You met a fella and ten minutes later told the Internet you want him dead. Classy af.

      I agree it’s scummy to wish death upon a stranger you know nothing about. In this case, the guy thinks he knows the stranger is a fascist. I think that’s jumping to a conclusion, plenty of non-fascists do really dumb stuff with regard to health. This particular dumb thing with regard to health was popular among fascists, so it’s not totally nuts to think he might be.

      Anyway, wishing death upon a fascist (stranger or no) is not scummy. Only a bootlicker would think it is! That said, I also don’t think you have to be a bootlicker to think we shouldn’t assume someone’s a fascist because they want ivermectin.

        What a weird response.

        I had to double-check the definition of bootlicker to see if it changed. I’m not sure how it applies to pointing out how scummy it is to wish death upon a stranger. I’m not offended, just bummed that combative people like you have stumbled onto Lemmy.
