Have seen a few posts popping up recently just straight up calling fo violence barely disguised as memes
Had thought Lemmy had chilled out a bit on that kinda thing for a while but seems to be coming back now
Anyone else noticing the same or just me?
Its not really just Lemmy tho. Its everywhere.
People are just mad these days and that event in NYC ignited their anger they always had.
I think most people are more like saying "LOL" at what happened rather than "Lets kill [insert person name here]". I mean, nobody really asked for it, nobody gave the pepetrator the "okay" to do it, the person just did it. People aren't sympathetic because the dead person wasn't such a nice person.
Remember how people celebrated Bin Laden's death, this is like that. Different nationality, same killer mindset that they had in common.
bin laden didn't kill nearly as many americans as united health has
Fair I'm not really on any other forums anymore and I haven't heard anything about this CEO death until just now
Fascinating. Are you in the US?
I could not have avoided knowing about it. Even if I were to stay off the internet completely, it has been a major conversation topic in real life with friends and family. My work has BCBS health insurance coverage so when they were dropping coverage for anesthesia, all casual conversations at work with colleagues were about it too. I couldn't have avoided it if I actively tried.
Entirely genuine; the less people beholden to the settler empire and its fundamentally-toxic philosophies regarding both domestic governance and global interaction, the better; however it's gotta happen.
what is the opposite of "radical", in your opinion, and was lemmy like that before "lately"?
I say it's getting less radical when 20 years ago a country got invaded, a million killed, based on nothing but lies and no one bat an eye on any forum.
Lemmy seems to have more crazies on it lately who are advocating for murder of innocent people just because they don't like them.
Reddit sucks and now Lemmy is going down the tubes. Hopefully these people either get banned or Lemmy servers that advocate for senseless violence get shut down.
You're right, not enough people are being banned for supporting Israel or health insurance companies.
That's not the reason to ban people. People should be banned for advocating for violence or for insulting others.
The phrase "I'll go wherever I want" is usually said to antagonize and threaten violence. Why are you threatening me?
One can only hope Hell is on that itinerary just based on the way you casually throw around labels like 'crazy'. Bet you'll be calling freedom fighters 'terrorists' next like some ignorant Amerikan next.
Supporting Israel or health insurance companies is advocating for violence.
