    I am anti bad thing therefore everything I am against is bad, and if you criticize me you are bad too.

        PragerU thinks they can’t possibly be wrong, so anyone against them must be Satan himself

          Interesting how Lemmy works I only see -81, seems like the different instances don’t share votes.

            Mine says 6. But here downvotes are disabled.
            And honestly, I prefer it this way. It’s still obvious which opinion is unpopular, but there are no semi-random ‘downvote into oblivion’ trains that were, perhaps, too common on reddit.

          No really - what client or whatever are you using that shows you that many votes? I seriously always thought there were only dozens on any given thread

        Defining yourself as the good guy doesn’t mean you are. Just like the anti-evil team at reddit gets up to all kinds of bullshit, but because they’re called anti,-evil they’re beyond reproach. I just call bullshit.

        Live and let live. Just because you think somebody else is racist doesn’t mean you’re in the right for doing whatever you do. I think the term is bullshit virtue signaling.

          That’s funny since racism is alot about not letting people live

            What are you retarded? You think going back in downvoting all my posts is doing anything to me? You’re so cringe.

                Somebody is instantly down voting every post I make now. If it’s not you it’s somebody else. Aside from that I’m for free speech. Racism is included in speech. You may not like it and it may be distasteful but speech should not incite violence to the speaker. We call that censorship. Censorship is bad. If your pro censorship then you’re a bad person and on the wrong side.

                  So “Speech should not incite violence”, Therefore racist speech shouldn’t be tolarated. QED

                  For someone who claims that down votes don’t bother them at all, you sure seem awfully bothered by them lol

                  Also - fuck racists. Hate speech isn’t protected speech

                    Hate speech is, in fact, protected. It may be used as evidence of state of mind for an actual crime, but by itself it is not.

                    As far as downvotes go, I noticed extremely quick downvotes on my comment, then looked back and saw every umcontrovertial comment that had hitherto for been without downvotes suddenly had one. It doesn’t really matter here but am I not allowed to comment that I had a dedicated hater?
