Surprised this isn't considered "advocating violence".
Oh, he condemns murder. He just points out how much blood is on the hands of companies vs the lone gunman. I figure it won't be long before LW stops federating with the influx of users who left LW to go to other instances where people can actually express protected speech. /c/news at LW is inherently incompatible with free speech and free press ideals. Hoping y'all start a new community elsewhere that allows proper discourse.
The European mods actively said they don’t agree with free speech and their countries laws don’t allow any kind of advocation of violence. I got banned from world.
I hope Luigi is just the first. These parasites have it coming.
It would be preferable that it didn't come to that, but unfortunately we all know it's very likely going to have to.

Uno reverse them and tell them to shut the fuck up then.
I mean was there any doubt that what happened to the CEO was murder? Like whether or not it was justified it still was murder. I'm not shedding a tear for it though, too busy reflecting on the thousands dead from his denial of healthcare.
The issue I take is that when we abstract murder by a few degrees then we just call it business. The CEO can sign a form that will result in the deaths of 1500 people and it's fine but you hire a hitman and you're guilty. At what point is the line drawn?
If I construct a rube goldberg machine that results in a gun being fired then am I responsible? What if that machine drops a pachinko puck that results in the gun being fired 50% of the time? What if I muck about with someone's food and increase their risk of cancer by 4%?
This is a genuine question I'd love an answer to.
