Fuck ICE and if you are ICE, I would like to directly tell YOU, to go fuck yourself and roll over and die.

Brave of you to assume any of them can read.

Even worse in Chicago. Less than 3% had criminal records.

Undocumented, being here longer than your stay is on the level of a traffic violation. These people who have been here need to be able to get citizenship a lot easier than it's required. We're a massive country and we're a melting pot for a reason.

Sorry, I'm not clear on who your "fuck you" is directed towards

We can acknowledge that mean people and trolls on the internet are inevitable, whilst also denouncing unacceptable behaviour. If we don't call out stuff, then that's a great way for the window of what is considered to be acceptable to slide ever further into hostility.

I think it's important to try to hold the line, where possible. I'm someone who is pretty good at only engaging in online discussions in a manner that's productive and/or wholesome, but even I sometimes find that online discussions can make it so easy to slip into needless hostility. I think the anonymous format is a big part of it, as is the lack of context we have for most comments, which can cause people to misinterpret the tone of a discussion and engage in a more argumentative manner than they might do otherwise.

I tend to post positive stuff because I made an active choice to resist that pull of toxicity that many of us feel on the internet. I found that doing my best to disengage from the toxic stuff helped me to be more resistant towards accidentally slipping into vitriolic arguments. Calling out trolls for acting inappropriately probably isn't going to shame them into treating their fellow online humans with respect, but that kind of denunciation is more for the benefit of the spectators than the trolls — especially if we want to prevent a community from producing even more trolls.

TL;DR:

"You will encounter mean people and trolls, learn how to deal with them (block/report)"

Good advice

"stop crying"

Not good advice. We can encourage people to block nasty people, whilst still retaining a sense of compassion for the people who are being shat on by trolls.

Okay, blocked. xD
