Except karma isn't real, and wishing something isn't putting anything out. It's just a wish. So you're totally safe doing it.

Why the fuck do people let Trump get away with shit that no ordinary person would get away with.
Imagine if we used this same bullshit logic for ordinary people.
"Murderers shouldn't be stopped by police. We should defeat them in polls."
"Car thieves shouldn't be arrested. We should let the American people choose."
Fucking dumb.
And incidentally, we already did that, in 1868 when the 14th amendment was passed. So leaving it up to the polls is ignoring both the law and the will of the people.
Part of me wishes that that particular person experiences the same level of “goodwill” that they give to others. I don’t like wishing ill on people
Don't guilt yourself for wishing ill on people. Those people deserve it, and you are not being a bad person by wishing ill on those who deserve it. Society tells us it's bad to do that, but all that does is make us feel guilt and let bad people get away with it. Wish ill, and do it freely!
I agree Reddit is toxic. I’d argue reddit actually stopped being Reddit around 2016. But it’s posts like this that clog it all up and are partially why it is the way it is today.
I gotta agree with this. The toxicity in any reddit thread increases dramatically when the poster pre-emptively complains about all the toxicity they expect to receive. Whereas when you just ask straight without going into a whole speech about comment quality, you get much better replies. Particularly because it's hijacking your own thread; changing it from whatever question you wanted to ask into an analysis of the comments.
All the comments I see in this thread are being critically skeptical of the claims in the article, not "lapping it up."
What are you seeing that I'm not?
"People are entitled taint-lickers because they don't like something that I like"
You sound like a lot of fun to be around.
Hopefully this prick gets a visit from the FBI for Christmas.
Democracy surely is being undermined, but I don’t think Ms Bradley is focusing on the right things.
The problem is specifically that she is focused on the right things.
there are so many “health” products that are complete bunk
FTFY
Assault is not free speech.
Can we give Trump 49 more of these "gifts" please?
And fuck NBC for posting such a dishonest take.
Considering that Taiwan has been de facto an independent country for a long time, its easy to see why "forever maintaining the status quo" is the best choice for most people.
Declaring independence from China when they are already functionally independent from China would just be kicking a hornet's nest. The outcome of a war with China would end in either a bloody defeat in which their country would be leveled and their freedoms taken away, or a bloody victory resulting in... the current status quo, just with lots of dead people.
So why would your average citizen desire anything but the status quo? They're already a free country, this question is just asking them if they'd like a war for the fun of it, or their freedoms taken away.
