The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I just want them to not exist.

So you want them to die, you just don't want them to be killed? Lol

I certainly see your point. That said, devil's advocate, the comment doesn't refer merely to political opponents, but rather:

the most evil people I can think of

Can you honestly say that you wouldn't painlessly snap, let's say, a proven serial child rapist out of existence? I think I'd do it, if for some reason the justice system was unable to stop them.

Yeah, there's a gulf of difference between wanting a problem to disappear vs relishing the incredibly detailed idea of pain and suffering of another human being. One's like putting down a rabid dog, the other is just pain for pains sake.

I'm not disagreeing with the previous comment, I just thought it was funny.
