Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I believe this is an example of a "straw man" argument.
First you mischaracterize OP's claim -- basically "tolerance of the intolerant leads to the intolerant gaining power and not being tolerant" becomes "murder all who disagree". Then you use sarcasm to knock down the straw man you built (because of course murdering all who disagree is bad).
It's more a criticism of the rampant idea I see floating around on Lemmy that people that hold harmful political views should be executed. What does "intolerance" look like?
