    I got banned from /c/news for “advocating” violence after making a joke about not being able to identify the suspect in the UnitedHealth CEO thread.

    Edit: Remember violence is reserved for the government to oppress people. You are supposed to just sit there and take it.

    It’s not against the TOS. You can advocate for violence against the poor and minorities all day on here. But advocating for them to defend themselves is apparently over the line.

      Notice how hard they’re going after the shooter? The NYPD is actually making an effort for once and the FBI is involved even though there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that this is a federal matter (has the shooter crossed state lines? Has the victim’s civil rights been violated?). We’ve always known that law enforcement is for them and not us but it’s pretty blatant.

      I’d say “you get what you pay for“ but the C suite doesn’t pay taxes.

      Please don’t show up in our modlog. I know I speak for all of the Admins at lemmy.today when I say that we don’t want to get involved in this shit.

        That’s just a miniature bunny with a regular-sized cigar cutter. Is tobacco paraphernalia against the TOS?
