Do you understand "nobody“?

Yeah do you understand how people shit out platitudes about hoping no one gets hurt when it’s someone innocent then turn and say the opposite when it’s someone they hate?

Look at comments when pedos go to jail.

It’s there. Every time.

But those people that wish other humans such bad stuff are most likely not the same people as those who wish that nobody gets hurt. There are many people in the planet and only few comment on posts. And often comments are written out of emotion and not rational. And people who see one kind of posts may not see the other kind of posts due to filter they have set, which as well creates bias. Always remember that.

I guess that’s a good point. I can’t guarantee the same people are switching opinions as I thought

One person on the internet: "one thing"

A different internet person: "the opposite of that"

You: "Everyone on the internet is a hypocrite"
