larping will always be a problem in political forums, but taking away the "you're gonna get banned" incentive to act like a reasonable person is only going to lead to incredible insufferable larping, and it's already trended in that direction.

any version of leftism that is not primarily centered around empathy is useless and will lead to nothing positive. unfortunately in isolated internet communities too many peoples' version of leftism is about extreme edge and fantasizing about violence

          All people are defined by their circumstances. Nobody deserves to suffer. Nobody deserves to die.

          If killing a bad person really helps to better our society, then so be it. But most of the time, you're just killing someone because you want to, because you're filled with hate, and you're using a political movement as justification for an action that has no justification. It is extremely ironic how many leftists can want to dismantle the entire prison system and simultaneously support beating people to death.

          Any action taken to harm someone should be taken with incredible care and calculation, and should never be something to be glorified.
