Hey is Sharing Luigi’s Manifesto on Social Media Actually "Glorifying Violence"? Because Reddit Said So 😭

That's what reddit banned, it's so innocuous.

Yes it is. So what. The rich glorifies violence against the poor.

The leader of the country once said: "When the looting starts, the shooting starts"

So if its apparantly okay to use violence against alledged thieves (which is not okay btw, stealing should never equate a death sentence), then it must be okay to use violence against mass murderer CEOs.

"When the denying starts, the deposing starts" would be my rebuttal to that phase the ex-president said. Violence begets violence.

If sharing Luigi's manifesto is glorifying violence then so is sharing the Declaration of Independence.

note that reddit didn't have a problem with "orks must die jokes" or people celebrating war fotage as long as they celebrate the right peoples deaths

Reddit gargles fascist schlong.

Nuff said.

Of course not, it's just Spez sucking up to the billionaires in the hope that one of them will be dumb enough to toss him a few million for his shitpile.

Stop using Reddit

For a website with sections called nsfl and fight porn reddit takes a weird stance on manifestos.

No, it's not.

It's an acknowledgement that there's a massive problem.

These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn't act surprised that it still happens. I don't think we should celebrate it, because it's sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

I can't believe you've done this

Constent manufacturing factory manufactures consent, millions shocked.

See, then you are giving a murderer's message publicity. As opposed to UnitedHealthcare, responsible for far more many deaths, having the ability to have as much publicity and as many lobbyists as they want.

I've definently noticed how more and more things are being disallowed to talk about on social media. It's just a matter of which platforms has which rules, but the rules are also changing as more and more people are complaining about reading things they don't agree with.

I suspect we will just discuss memes in the future, and politics, since politics is something that the leaders want us to care about and fight eachother over.

Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos

I mean, lots of .world communities will censor it too, and they’re still FEDerated.

Hi I’m new to Lemmy since Reddit decided to permaban me due to support I showed for Luigi. Good riddance to be honest. I should have fully quit when they shut down Apollo but didn’t know Lemmy existed.

I've always thought well educated people have a great potential to be dangerous and achieve transcendental goals if organized. A group of engineers, of chemists, physicists, biologists, computer scientists after specific goals may be formidable enemies if they wanted. The 0.001%, the dirty rich, should now be aware.

Fuck Reddit.

Depends on the context in which you're sharing it.

If you share it with a title like "We need more of this", then yeah, because you're encouraging further acts like it. If you share it with a title like "This is the manifesto written by the alleged CEO killer", then that's not inherently glorifying violence, you're just sharing something you found and being informative. But if you share it in response to the question "Hey Reddit, what are some fun things I can do in NYC this weekend?", then you're back toward the "glorifying" side. Context makes all the difference.

Whether or not anybody gives a shit about that distinction, though, is a different question.

Reddit said so because it's CEO is known to be a greedy bastard who threw everything and everyone Bunder the bus for money. Luigi would not approve

Reddit also thinks appealing a ridiculous van is harassment, so not exactly the brightest bulbs over there.

They really couldn't figure out that that first [indecipherable] is "fourth"?

Glorifying violence is A-Ok when the government awards people the Medal of Honor.

Reddit needs to come up with a more accurate excuse for their censorship.

No .... and stop following anything that stupid website says.

Would it's get me banned to reply with "I love reading about CEOs getting killed, and I want more of them to die"?

Edit:in minecraft.

Not much of a Manifesto..., that's just a Note my dudes.

Reddit is a free advertising platform. I literally just now use it to secretly advertise side hustles.

Permanently Deleted

sharing information is important. whether or not you are glorifying it depends on context.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.

No. It’s just Reddit’s thought police.

I think federal government probably sent a pretty please over to reddit HQ to censor this.

They're afraid of it fomenting further dissent. It's a delicate situation when the plebs are upset. A little bit is OK, in fact preferable. But too much can lead to a chain reaction that cannot be controlled.

50% wtf!

I be searching like this these days:

<shit I am loking for> -site:www.reddit.com

Fuck reddit. Fuck Spez and Fuck the police.

What reddit thinks about anything matters to nobody but themselves

i would argue no, but then again, there's a difference between posting it, and supporting it.

glorifying and supporting violence is almost always against the rules on any platform anywhere. So.

r/combatfootage has glorified violence for years now. That's the only reason it exists.

No, it's not. But there's a general fear that spreading manifestos of terrorists could cause people to believe them. They did the same thing with Bin Laden's manifesto.

For the record, I oppose this, it's just that I can understand why this sort of thing is done.

Stick and stones...

Why would it be? The only actual reference to violence is the fact that it happened ("[…] faced it with such brutal honesty.") and the reasoning behind it.

does it seem a little...wordy... to anyone else

Yes it is. It's the same reason we don't share school shooter manifestos.

The only question here is do you agree with this violence? If you do then carry on.
