One involves other people, one involves candles, shooting stars, and genies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] higgsboson@dubvee.org 5 points 1 year ago* That's a dodge worthy of slippery Don himself. We both know that "wishing" someone to die and calling for someone to die are both toxic discourse and doing so where Trump is involved is toxic as well as dangerous. Kyle was no doubt saying it flippantly to be funny. And Id probably laugh if a friend of mine said it and I was at a private birthday party. I have that luxury because I am not a public figure. Jack Black, however, very much IS a public figure (as is Kyle, albeit somehat less famous,) which brings with it much more scrutiny and no doubt a different calculus. Again, Kyle said theyre still friends and all is forgiven so this was all just an excuse to insert your toxicity into another lemmy thread. permalink fedilink source parent
