It's immoral.
But yes, I recognize how extreme that reaction is, so will consider it before I make a choice.
Do you not see what you're doing? You're becoming the very thing you sought to destroy. Literally. This man shot up a Mosque because he was convinced the actions of a few Muslims represented the majority. Now you are literally doing the same with you so called "friends".
Memes have always been horrific. Bad things and bad people have existed before this attack. This isn't the nail that broke the Camel's back or whatever, that Meme's all of a sudden need to be studied.
Given that far right extremists have been openly using "memes" as a way to recruit vulnerable, mediocre dorks... yeah, actually, they do need to be studied.
