Oh, sorry, are you saying the use of guns is justified and nonviolent if the intention is to reduce further violence?

Drag wonders if this principle could be applied to any recent events…

Drag disagrees, but drag thought of a better and more fun argument anyway.

Imprisonment is a violent act. Anyone saying the police should imprison The Adjuster is advocating violence, and the admins should remove their comments.

Sorry. Drag will delete it if you’re sure it’s what a monotheistic god would want.

Anyone who wants The Adjuster to be imprisoned is supporting violence against him. Imprisonment is a violent act. Drag thinks the Lemmy.world admins should make sure to remove any comments advocating imprisonment.

Justice for the Grin Reaper will be either jury nullification, or never being caught. If he were imprisoned or shot by cops, it would be an injustice. We shouldn’t lock up heroes.

Deny. Defend. Depose.

The story you tell is bad, but it’s also kind of what democracy is. Being judged by your peers. That white people should be allowed to murder black people with no consequences is what the people decided. The problem in that situation isn’t the system, it’s the people. The system was enforcing the will of the bad people who represented society.

And how did that situation get better? Heroes broke the law and used violence or the threat of violence to change society. Heroes like John Brown, who killed slavers, and Malcolm X, who armed black people on the streets. Abraham Lincoln went to war with the southern states. People died because of his orders.

It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from. Your rights were scrawled in blood.

How’s this one?

“Thousands of families are crying tears of joy thanks to The Adjuster, who was wrong to save all those lives and improve society.”

money laundring is not a violent crime.

So it sounds like the laws prohibit advocating blue collar crime, but advocating white collar crime is fine.

No, there’s no legal responsibility to shut down violent speech in any country, including the Netherlands. If there was, then speaking in support of capitalism would be illegal. If there’s a law on the books that says it prohibits violent speech, it’s not enforced consistently.

Yeah, and the guy who killed Hitler got executed by the Nazis for it

Good point: everyone who advocates killing billionaires is a revolutionary with a hero’s spirit. Advocating murder of billionaires means your character is great.

Everyone who opposes the assassination of one CEO is glorifying the thousands of murders he committed. It’s one or the other.

The streets should run red with the blood of billionaires.

If they don’t want to smash into things, they can drive to the conditions. Their cars have lights, it’s just a matter of using them properly by driving at an appropriate speed.

What about Trumpism? That’s a religion, and it doesn’t deal in any of those three questions.

Great idea!

Cars have crumple zones. Nobody would be hurt, and it would prevent pedestrians from being hurt in the future.
