With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren’t helping.

    How fucking arrogant do you have to be? You have no idea what sets off someone deranged enough to go on a killing spree. It could be anything, from prodding by asshats like Trump, to the “evil far-left” making fun of their demigod.

    And to suggest that you know better because it sounds ludicrous to you is just as bad, because you aren’t taking them seriously and they will hate that even more.

      You might have just triggered someone to kill someone. How dare you say those aggressive triggering words.

      You see how dumb that sounds?

      I’m kinda curious if you have access to rifles and/or clock towers…
