There’s no need to go around making actionable threats of violence that could be read out in a courtroom, that’s called fedposting. Try this on for size:
If the right keeps pushing, eventually someone’s probably going to feel like their back’s against the wall with no other recourse. For example, if there was, say, a national abortion ban, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone tried to kill the people responsible. Tragic, really, but that’s just the world we live in. Look, I want to do things peacefully, but if I can’t produce results that way, well, it’s not about me, it’s about what’s going to happen if other people lose confidence in my methods.
A prediction isn’t a threat. I’m allowed to speculate about other people doing stuff, aren’t I? Some historical orgs spoke that way, and their predictions could be eerily accurate.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk should be assassinated ☺️ 😍 😋 🤪 😇
Wow, just being able to say that when inciting violence is banned on most other social media felt empowering. I know to y’all this probably comes off as just another basic one-liner comment, but… I’ve only recently started using Lemmy when I used to just browse Reddit without an account. There were times when I almost felt crazy, because I felt so much rage against these rapist scum I thought- given the opportunity- I would end their lives in an instant, consequences be damned. But on Reddit where any talk of violence (against the state) is banned (but violence via political persecution of minorities is A-OK!), I thought I was just a radical extremist.
And maybe I am a radical extremist, Lemmy as a whole is certainly small enough to be an echo chamber, but in a time where peaceful protest does nothing but paint a target on your back, free speech by necessity needs to include ushering people to make use of “the 4th box of liberty,” the cartridge box. By god does it feel good to finally be able to say that.
I saw shit like THIS all over my town:
They go low, we go low.
When they go low, start stomping the fuckers
They wanna be the bar set in hell let’s ensure they go there faster than usual. My grandfather helped them, I’d be happy to continue the family linage of “making them find out after fucking around.”
Don’t go low, go center mass.
I actually like the idea of giving both Donald Duck and Elon Musty a bunch of laxatives and having them fight over one small bathroom.
Where can I report that my dead grandad was advocating violence on Juno beach in 1944?
“You know how a popular time travel question is, if you could go back and kill Hitler, would you? People are going to be asking the same about Trump and Musk (and Vance and Thiel and a whole mess of others) if the dust ever settles.”
The dust always settles eventually.
Just that it may be radioactive dust this time
And that’s the big thing that worries me. In the last world war, even in an all-out war with no holding back, there was a limited amount of damage that could be done to the world and civilization. Today? We have enough nukes to destroy human civilization a dozen times over.
Trump leads to an independent and united Europe
Lmfao, do you live under a fucking rock?
Fascist parties have been gaining power all over Europe (and elsewhere) for ages, and have gotten significantly emboldened and actively backed by him since he became
presidentwhatever his dictatorial title will end up being.Check the username. Also, Western Europe (excluding Britain) is taking this threat pretty seriously if you follow current affairs.
Western Europe (excluding Britain) is taking this threat pretty seriously
What an odd exclusion to make… The government might not be taking it seriously, but most others aren’t either (and why would they? they serve capitalism, not society). Plenty of the people here (in Britain, in case it wasn’t clear) are just as concerned as the rest of Europe (and the world)…
Bleak when only a time traveler from the future can save the world from impending doom at this point.
Just going to leave this here
This is the argument I get in with people in my life. Even my significant other is starting to fall into this trap that “they can’t hold up cabinet selection” due to some misguided notion that holding your nose and being respectful is necessary. I blame coworkers and not wanting to think about something that stresses them out. It is maddening.
Thank you for linking the paper.
Me getting banned from asklemmy there for just saying Luigi
RIP King.
I unsubbed from everything over there except for Working Class Calendar and Work Reform. Normies that are still normies in 2025 making me irrationally angry.
Yup. We’re in an extra normal time and people are still clutching to decorum and civility as if it matters anymore.
It didn’t take me long to realize blocking that instance was a good idea. I didn’t know about lemmygrad and hexbear (which federated) until someone from lemmy.world pointed out another user was “brigading”, and looking up how lemmy.world eventually blocked that instance the feeling I have towards lemmy.world is that they act like the “world police” of the lemmy-verse.
Lemmy.world isn’t even based in the US 💀
are there any examples of this?
Oh my God that was the same person!? Who had all that drama and who can’t write to save their life?
Jaysus!
And they feel zero remorse!? I’m genuinely shocked and appalled!
Damn, I switched communities to have a local argument (and I remembered I had an account here), but after seeing how us-centric dotworld has become when the account view changed, I’m not switching back.
that looks like a fun comm. to be padantic luigi didnt neccessarly kill a head of state just was just a ceo
To be pedantic, it’s spelled pedantic.
In the US it’s the same thing.
Someone at the end of the day owns the instance in question here. Many might not want the secret service knocking on their door.
If the secret service came knocking I’d call the police. They have no jurisdiction here.
They do where Lemmy.world servers are I believe
I believe the servers are in Finland but the ToS specifically states they operate under .fl, .nl, and .de law.
So licking fascist boot is the solution?
Fuck that complicity.
And that’s how evil wins, people are too cowardly to even let other people talk about potentially taking a stand against evil
There are many ways to take a stand besides advocating for assassinations.
Cool are you willing to go to jail in their place then?
Hell no, they’re not taking me alive
Unless they did it while I’m sleeping
Which they like to do
Here’s the thing though, what good does it do? Get angry and talk about all of the things that are horrific and are Nazi like. People will do what they do with the information they have.
Note: I’m very glad I’m not a mod here.
