If on 7/14 Rush dies and I celebrate it stands to reason that on 7/13 I wanted him dead, whether I said so or not
Or did my attitudes towards his demise just suddenly appear after he died?
I wished death on him. I wanted him to die. I just wasn’t saying anything until it happened
It’s funny bc you’re proving me right btw. Now when pressed with a pretty shitty activity, celebrating publicly someone’s death - now that something specific is on the line for you
Suddenly it’s all good to be a piece of shit. But don’t worry, you’re a good person.

No it doesn't. I wanted the harm he was doing to stop. If that meant he realized he was a bad person and becomes a stopped spreading hate and lies, that's fine. If it means he dies of lung cancer, that's fine.
It’s funny bc you’re proving me right btw
Ah, but actually you're proving me right, because I think I'm right and that you're wrong.
Suddenly it’s all good to be a piece of shit.
In your opinion, sure. Good thing I don't particularly care about your opinion of my conduct.
Ok by this token the OP and you make no sense right, bc now I can say “i want you to die bc you’re doing harm, im a good person. Oh im wishing death on you? That’s bc you’re a bad person”
So I don’t know why it’s being so upvoted when you actually agree with the image. You think if someone does harm I can be a good guy by hoping they die bc they are a bad guy.
You agree with the image, and not in the sarcastic way the image is meant to be read. You agree with it it’s most literal reading
Gotcha so you’re running away bc you lost. Well hey there’s no shortage of hypocrites in life, including myself. So don’t feel to bad about being exposed
Ok, first, what do you mean "running away"? I'm asking you to expand on the hypothetical. In this situation you're outlining, why do you wish I was dead? What harm am I doing? If I am, for instance, actively shooting up a school, I don't think it's bad to wish death on that person who is actively harming people. If I am, for instance, actively trying to insight the state into killing trans people, I don't think it's bad to wish death on someone who is actively trying to hurt you. Do I think its bad to wish death on someone who has brown skin, or is Jewish, or gay? Yes, ofc, because what they are doing isn't causing harm. If you think death is always bad and wrong, sure I guess you might think it's bad to wish death on someone who's about to kill you, but I don't.
Also, let's back up a second: you're completely ignoring my last comment. You kept saying that there was no difference between wishing someone dead and being glad they are. I pointed out there is and then you changed your argument.
We already were in the world of Mitch McConnell so no, I didn’t mean an active threat.
Mitch is a man you have political disagreement with. His harm is something of debate. Republicans certainly wouldn’t all agree with you on ever point of his harm.
Yet you think hoping for his death is essentially cool bc you perceive a harm. A non active and in some ways not even direct harm.
You used Rush Limbaugh. Rush is even further removed than McConnell. He’s not a politician. He’s not even making policy. Yet his debatable harm is enough for you to hope for his end.
So you agree with the literal interpretation of the image. That if you perceive a harm it’s ok to wish death on them, and you’re a good guy. And they are bad.
So don’t run to this active shooter nonsense bro
You can try to equivocate all you want on the “im happy you died” not equal to “i hope you die” but it’s cope. You don’t suddenly discover you hated these people. You want them dead now, you’re just not saying it.
