A lot of “unlimited genocide” comments aren’t obviously joking. Many are made in the same style as earnest “death to America” comments, there’s a whole contingent of basically ultras who (being generous) are not interested in splitting hairs over when violence is justified, and of course you have the problem seen on every internet forum that makes edgy jokes: some people take them seriously, or at least say they do to be even more edgy.
Also, “it’s a joke” is not a bulletproof defense. People have brought up sexual assault jokes – those and many other types of jokes are “just jokes,” but for various reasons we don’t tolerate them. Even obvious joke comments like the picture you posted can still be tasteless, offensive, etc.
You have a point mayocide would actually improve things so it isn’t 100% a joke. Like, I’d be sad to go but it would be a fair price to pay to bring about the revolution worldwide.

And people (like myself) have explained why they’re not at all comparable.
