I really suck at knowing when I'm being trolled. I'm not the one in the screenshot but I'm in the thread. This comment was just particularly egregious.

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

All of my closest friends—who are in fact the only “close friends” I’ve ever had—use hard drugs, and my de facto best friend started out as my dealer lol. The love of my life, the most deeply beautiful person I’ve ever met, has been on and off homeless and addicted to heroin since they were 18. So hearing shit like that really fucks with me.
Same, so many of my friends have been the exact people that he was talking about. My family was homeless when I was young, not related to drug-use or any sort of crime, and people like him would still want us to be condemned to that life. It motivates me to fight more than most attitudes. This guy was a business owner, not the 1% or anything, but that dehumanization is so prevalent among the wealthy.
