You can't even speak frankly here. I came to Lemmy because I was tired of being censored by Reddit, but it seems like this place is just as restrictive on speech as Reddit was.
People, if we are going to talk about systemic change for a better world, violence has to be a tool in the toolbox.
Locking this for similar reasons as I did another recent post, except this one is explicitly encouraging violent action. Further, MasterBlaster420, you seem unable to have this discussion without resorting to insulting people left and right.
See the following:
With this in mind, it would probably be wiser to permanently ban you from this community, but instead I'm giving a temporary ban. I'd encourage you to reflect on how you approach discussing this subject. Rather than suggesting general violence for enacting change, read further on the histories relating to the subject and really engage with them.
Recognize why there's an aversion to violence, who takes advantage of it to subvert its aims, and whether it may be better to help and organize those that align with you, than repel them into the arms of those you oppose.
Talk about violence on a social media platform is a legal liability. Who should take that risk on? Corporations? Random private citizens who happen to run an instance of lemmy?
If you want to talk about violence so badly, you will have to either find a platform that will take that risk on, or take the risk onto yourself.
People advocating these things are never willing to put their money where their mouth is and create their own instance. Anyone can create their own instance, it just never seems to be them.
Meanwhile this person seems to be perfectly content with feds bashing down my door because of stuff they say, just not their door.
If you consistently run into the problem that nobody wants to hear what you're saying, maybe it's time to stop saying it.
I'm not saying EVERY case, but, maybe consider it.

If we are going to talk about change, we should absolutely talk about it, discuss it, vote on candidates instituting it. Violence is the instant death of talk, discussion, and the democratic process.
Some people want the society transformed into a theocracy, or an ethno state, or a national socialist state. Some people think no one should own a personal car or a big house.
Do you accept violence from these people against you and your loved ones?
I agree with you but no one wants to go in for your crimes so maybe you should host your own server and take the legal liability ?
What in the Balenciaga is that photo
sad AI noises
Looks pretty good for AI
Edit: except for the warped faces in the background lol
A couple of the faces are surprisingly good, the rest are aliens or morphed to hell. AI's processing power seems to focus on the closest few faces in a group photo.
