I'm on lemmy.ml but as I'm French, I was reading this comment and was surprised to see removed instead of the french word for "late".

Is there anything I can do on my end or is it a server setting and I should move to a French one?

When have you seen calls for murder?

I don't think a lot of people are using the "guillotine landlords" imagery ironically.

are executions murder, though?

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I personally believe so, at least. I guess whether the murder can be justified or not is a separate question.

I mean, yes? Although generally speaking, the word execution is reserved for cases where they've been deemed to deserve it.

For example, most of the executions ordered during the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution were simply murders of people who were even suspected of dissent.

Specifically, it's when it's sanctioned through the legal system (as opposed to murders, including state-sanctioned but extra-judicial killings)

So I think executions are not murder by definition
