But neither of you know him or what his opinions are beyond this image macro. He may well do exactly what joecan said he wouldn't do, and as he said, if he WERE to do so, he would put it on a different subreddit.

And I'm certainly someone else who would do the same thing. Yes, if someone was spreading Nazi propaganda and I stepped up to attempt to destroy everything that person believes in via heated debate(or, rather, the subsection of their beliefs that include Nazi ideology), I would fully expect an onlooker to say that that's what I'm doing because that's what I'm doing. Just because I'd be engaged in the willful act of trying to sabotage a deeply-seated belief doesn't intrinsically make my actions bad (in fact, I'd argue, and most people on this subreddit would agree, that that's actually moral behavior), nor does it imply that the belief I'm attacking is a special case. That Bender's face is on the image macro, which instantly arouses connotations of general douchebaggery to anyone who's watched Futurama (ie all of Reddit), is simply an incidental effect of, well, quoting Bender and doing it in an image macro format.

joecan shouldn't presume to know a person better than they know themselves (or to declare that he knows how they'd act in a hypothetical scenario). Elliv could just as easily put this on r/politics, change "Christian propaganda" to "neoconservative propaganda" (not that there's much of a difference), and be just as justified in his assessment.

In other news, I've just realized (or rather, remembered) that I have a serious fetish for parenthetical statements.
