Because it’s seen as violence to do anything that negatively impacts the wealthy despite their daily economic violence against everyone else in society. This is why they call the Tesla boycott “illegal”.
Their violence is a lot more than economic… Making poor people lived the way they do is a lot more than just economics.
Very true
The quote is not wrong, however, Elon is neither harmless nor peaceful. He’s dangerous and a violent fascist
Ofc it’s wrong. You can be peaceful and harmless.
Musk is a moron.
Edit: The more I think about it, the wrong-er/stupider it gets.
My 10 year old account without previous infractions was banned for saying the rich don’t have the resources to protect themselves in the event of a revolution lol
Lol a friend of mine got banned for posting a picture of a guillotine and referencing billionaires. The broligarchy has gone full gloves off wrt threats to their hegemony
After 12 years, and nearly a million karma, i was permabanned right after HitlerPig was inaugurated, for repeating an opinion that i have stated many times. Nobody ever said a word until HitlerPig was in office, then suddenly I was permabanned. I came over to Lemmy, only to find i wasn’t alone.
I suspect the reason is because Ohanion wamts to buy TikTok, and he knows that HitlerPig will be making the decision personally, based on who smooches his ass, follows his orders, and pays the biggest bribe. So as a show of good faith, he abandons Reddit’s doctrine of Free Speech.
Love seeing all the new accounts in here!
Its funny because I remember when the republicans and trumpers would all join together and attack any form on censorship and used that as a launching pad for attacking the left. And these attacks built this momentum that eventually resulted in my grandmother talking about how the left is pro censorship and must be stopped. Like how is grandma hearing about this shit. Like there was no room to give an inch.
But I feel like there isn’t that same energy on the left. Like instead we all just look at this and go “huh, that’s a bummer. They’re stupid”
also any attempts to respond or report will get you astroturfed or banned, bya pro-right wing mod, and now reddit.
Exactly, they fucking had so much momentum and energy they actively worked to harass subs to add more mods and who happened to be ready, fucking right wing trolls
I’ve been really pushing the limit on reddit recently to see if I get banned.
Maybe it’s an llm or something, I have not gotten banned yet for saying stuff like “This is a test. Luigi is a god. Shoot all the billionaires and eat the rich. Throw Molotovs at Tesla shops” And so on.
Nothing yet.
I’m not making a point here, just contributing some data. My account is 4 years old, with about 1k karma.
Reddit is complicit with the facist takeover of wetsern democracy. I got banned from there for saying “the only good nazi is a dead nazi”
spez is in love with nazi musk.
Agreed, unless you’re capable of great violence you’re weak. When you see a tyrant, a capitalist, or a cop do you sit by or do you fight for peace? Thats why every pacist should be willing to punch Muskrat and any other tyrant right in their fascist face.
Getting banned from reddit is doing yourself a favor. Leave that site and avoid looking back when possible. Trash site.
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.
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.
Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore
I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.
Welcome btw :)
100%
Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here
I just joined recently and was lurking until I saw your comment. Figured I’d join in :)
Lemmy still have mods. My comment regarding muskrat mental healt issues (“next step is suicide, please”) was deleted. So don’t fool yourself, when lemmy gets as much popularity as reddit, it will turn into the same kind of pos
The point is that you can move elsewhere without losing access. There is no central control
Left reddit… left Google… left Amazon… left meta… never had Twitter.
I am still on some meta services because my family is there. But I only post stuff relevant to those people. Everything else is fediverse and bluesky
tried to make an FB acct for somehting else, and they apparently autoban people for a “email-temp”
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.
I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.
not all at once, but a gradual decline in non-botted, troll accounts. since reddits mostly bots anyways,. as long as politics, and news subs getting much traffic people will be addicted to the site.
People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons.
Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.
thier extremely sensitive banning parameters are absurd, cross-banning for posting in a sub that they dont like, reporting other people gets you banned,
elon musk got a subreddit banned, because of “percieved threats”
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)
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?
Maybe people were actually saying “Green Mario” and not Luigi.
Agreed, you can refer to him by name here lol. Or Saint Luigi if you prefer ;)
Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.
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.
Im agree, but my gripes stem from the timing of how and when they picked him up. Rolling a nat 1 on disquise in a golden arches hundreds of miles away with all the evidence makes me think one of two things. 1) he isnt the guy, the NYPD needed their pound of flesh and just made it all up or 2) they are sure its him, but are unwilling to explain to the press how they know because big brother shit.
In addition, with the mayor not shutting up about the investigation, that perp walk, and the media shrieking “oh no, he’s hot”, the is no way he is getting an unbiased jury in NYC. (I expect it to be the opposite, but thats the ACAB talking)
I don’t think NYPD is allowed access to the big brother shit.
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.)
Or, if I might add, in case of anti-vaxxers, IF you get older ;-)
I made a comment self censored to “Mario bros” on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They’re going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory
They might as well just shut down r/Nintendo then.
Wild.
He absolutely did something wrong, he got caught.
And I felt his manifesto was not very well written.
(PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)
He killed a guy. So he did.
He killed a corpo. So he did nothing wrong.
Fuck the opinions around here are unhinged.
Why did you want that person killed?
Because he was a murderer and he would kill again if he was allowed to live.
So you agree killing is bad?
The framing for this is that murder is bad; however there are exceptions to that. One such exception is that self defense of oneself or self defense of another provides a (morally and legally) justified basis for murder. If someone is trying to murder you or someone else, and you murder that person to prevent this, then you have engaged in self defense, which is justified.
The argument is that there is insufficent evidence to demonstrate that Luigi was the person who committed the murder at issue. However, even if it can be proved that Luigi did in fact commit this murder, the argument is that it was justified as an act of self defense to protect himself/others from being killed by the decedent’s actions. This requires viewing violence as something that is structural and systemic, and not just direct and immediately physical. Under the former approach, Luigi engaged in self defense; under the latter, he did not.
The American legal system generally only recognizes the latter as a valid legal defense. But this is irrelevant to the moral question of whether it was justified; and, even to the legal question, we can ask why our system does not recognize structural violence as criminal violence. The answer to that lies in who writes the laws, or, rather, who pays for the laws to be written. All nations have a ruling class who are the principal beneficiaries of the legal system; the US is no different
Killing innocent people is bad.
Google “Paradox of tolerance”.
Is it bad to kill a mass murderer? I say it’s not.
If you kill someone to prevent that someone from killing millions, it is not.
Elon does not deserve to reference dark souls.
Imagine being handed the black knight’s halberd, with the stats to wield it, before asylum demon‽
That is fucking Elon!
The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.
I only have one account for porn right now. Made with a temporary email. I won’t shed any tears if i had to delete that one.
There’s plenty here lol. No excuse! lol, jk
Sorry to say, NSFW Lemmy is still heavily lacking.
