    I’m not advocating violence, of course, because that’s illegal both on this platform and in real life.

    However, the history of humanity has demonstrated that powerful people need to be publicly executed in order for there to be sea change in economic inequalities. When enough people have nothing to lose, said executions become inevitable.

      Don’t advocate violence. Instead, imply advocacy for violence.

      It’s not “let’s kill the rich”, it’s “it’d be a damn shame if someone killed the rich”

      It’s not “you’re morally obligated to burn that pipeline”, it’s “you’re morally obligated to burn that pipeline in Minecraft”

      No it’s not.

      1. This platform’s policies do not have the force of law.

      2. Advocating for violence in general isn’t illegal; only specific threats are. (Trump, for example, is an idiot-savant at walking that fine line.)
