Its the bottom of the pyramid of violence. It sounds innocent but it upholds worse shit. Its like racist jokes, its just a joke until oops genocide. You joke about kids deserving to get flung into danger for being annoying, it upholds the idea that there is some truth to kids deserving some punishment for being annoying. And some punishment is a wonderfully vague thing
Anyone dumb enough to believe my post is an excuse for that isn’t someone I have any influence over or accept any responsibility for anyway. I’m not fixing the world here on Lemmy, but I’m not setting it on fire either. Anyone so lost is unreachable and I’m not wasting time lamenting their lack of self reflection or critical thinking.
I mean… before I judge… just how big of an asshole was the kid being?
I’m a parent of five, and there are days I want to toss my own to the crocodiles.
Probably not enough of an asshole to justify attempting to kill it, if I had to guess.
That goes without saying.
This kind of joke manufactures consent for violence against strangers
No it doesn’t.
