This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”

[-] thepresentpast@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

That's exactly who he is trying to appeal to.

Says the pussy who backed down from Zuckerberg cuz his mom told him to

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's good to be the king.

He doesn't have to be the one actually inflicting the violence on others, but with his power and influence he is capable of great violence by making others carry it out in his name.

Fucking billionaires... :/

They've also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It's about the closest thing to thought crime I've ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

[-] Gloomy@mander.xyz 30 points 2 weeks ago

I don't mean this as an attack at all, but isn't calling Luigi "Green Mario" a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

It's actually pretty likely he's not the guy. While they have a picture of him from a nearby hostel, the picture from cctv at the scene doesn't match quite so well.

Whether or not they were being ironic, we HAVE to stop capitulating to corporations deciding how we speak and what we can and can't talk about. They successfully turned our own social messaging into a justification to block out conversations about issues that are actually affecting us.

(No, to the chud about to cry about being censored for spreading misinformation about vaccines, that doesn't go against corporate incentives, that goes against reason and knowledge, there's a difference and if you can't tell, you will when you get older.)

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

[-] freely1333@reddthat.com 13 points 2 weeks ago

The line is state sponsored violence, generally. Likely with a little bias on what state is on the giving and receiving ends of said violence. Thats the rule at least so far as I can tell, at least.

Arguing for the appropriation of billionaires' assets is not violence.

[-] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.

[-] Civil_Liberty@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

We can't let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.

[-] elrod666@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore

Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive "peaceful protests".

He is such a teenager. It's embarrassing.

What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He's only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.

That makes no sense. You can totally call yourself peaceful if you are peaceful.

Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out

[-] roguesignal@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site's echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.

Here’s my new thing.

All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.

As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.

Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.

That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

The crux of fascism is making your base paranoid. Make them believe all their murder is done out of self defense. If they would not kill all those other people, others would kill them.

The perfect example is the paranoid ethnostate in the middle east.

This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they're super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.

It's kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they're saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.

[-] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.

“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 11 points 2 weeks ago

I remember reading self-defense writings by Marc MacYoung (who is a fascist mind you, but he is very good at martial arts and understanding criminal dynamics) and the first ever time I heard the 'better a monster who can control it, than a sheep who is not capable of violence' or that effect, and he ripped that entire saying a new one. He said how once the violent beast in someone is built up, it simply won't be easy to control and will fuck you up. There is simply no way around it. Criminals, abusers, and assholes whom people want nothing to do with and people who spend countless nights in jail for petty shit are all the actual 'warriors in a garden' come to life.

Also the whole thing is shit. During ww1 and ww2 the US had a pathetic military at the start, but when the war got going they still outfought the Nazis and Imperial Japanese who were fully and completely into the whole permanent warrior mentality.

The world needs to forcefully liquidate the wealth of all billionaires and perpetually redistribe that excess wealth so nobody can ever be rich again.

The rich that push back need to be labled as dangerous terrorists that are a threat to our species, and will need to be put down like rabid dogs.

What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?

Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.

I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

when did Lemmy become the "I got banned from reddit" frontpage?

ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It's a shithole url. Get over it.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 weeks ago

This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…
