    Yup. They permabanned me for saying I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, since she’s called for bombing millions of people.

    So it’s not just calling for violence that’s bannable. Now apathy for violence against the rich is a bannable offense. Smells like panic to me.

      Being able to discuss (& cuss, bizarrely Lemmy isn’t filled with “fuck” & “penis” posts) as adults is quite nice and seems to actually lead somewhere, sometimes.

      Maybe the anger and frustration is part of some business model for reddit?

        Lemmy is full of fucks and dicks. Sometimes they even have something to say!

        But really, I believe any expletives should be used to further a message, not just because you can. Or filler words while talking.

    Ah yes, corpo platform suckling at the toes of insurance giants. Big surprise.

    “But they are right! Murder is bad.”

    Fucking duh, but the transgressions of the US insurance industry transcends all that, because they are laughing at dying people all the time - laughing all the way to the bank!

    Like there are so many documentaries about the evils of these bastards. One dead exec later and suddenly morals and ethics apply? Gtfo here.

      When somebody dies from an insurance company, it’s sad, but it’s the system working at usual. US society at large has decided that’s acceptable. Even if you’re opposed to it, it isn’t a transgression of norms. Assassination is.

      There isn’t always a disco option in life. Sometimes conflict is inherent and pacifism is just quiet complicity.

        Something I’ve been thinking about recently is how it seems that MOST national anthems celebrate a bloody war in some way, shape, or form, because that’s pretty much what it always takes to escape from oppressors, is violent fighting back

      Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi, so if Snowden didn’t even get a pardon for a non-violent crime, Luigi aint ever getting a pardon.

      The president can only pardon someone for federal crimes. Isn’t murdering someone also a state crime?

      Then he can’t be pardoned

          Dual Sovereignty. Both the federal and state governments can separately try the case. Yes they have two chances of convicting him, acquital from state charges doesn’t affect any potential federal charges, double jeoparty rules don’t apply.

          Luigi can get a pardon for either state or federal, but he can still face charges from the other one.

    Suppression of the suspect’s voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.

    Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don’t want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn’t possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn’t have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.

    Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect’s thoughts.

      no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do

      Are you saying autistic people control the government and are the ones oppressing poor neurotypicals?

            The original idea is the stereotype of autistic children who start screeching when something happens that they don’t want.

            The underlying phenomenon is people failing to cope with discomfort induced by things others don’t perceive as uncomfortable. I’m not a psychologist, this is more an informal way to express my own experiences.

            For example, a person (possibly, but not necessarily autistic) with sensory issues may find grocery store visits unbearable if the lighting of that store triggers that discomfort, or the hum of the AC, or the general noise of the place. Trying to ignore this discomfort may work for a while, trying to block the triggers may help, focusing on some reward or comfort may help the brain hold on to more pleasant thoughts, but if those fail, eventually the brain will reach a point of overload.

            It’s particularly bad when some method of coping suddenly fails or the discomfort spikes suddenly. If I was trying to make it through a grocery trip by promising myself some comfort food, then reach the shelf where that food is supposed to be and find it empty, that cuts quite a gash into my mental barrier. Some noises, when unexpected and loud enough, can bring me all the way from “calm” to “overload” in an instant

            The exact reaction can differ, with some options being less visible. I usually enter a type of dissociation where only the most routine things still work (like beelining for the checkout, paying and getting the fuck out of there, rest of the grocery list be damned), but since I still function to some degree, it might not look like an overload.

            The most visible reaction is probably when the “dam” trying to contain the discomfort breaks so violently that it turns into acute pain, with the result looking much like you’d expect someone in acute pain to react: screaming.

            Thus, the most noticeable expression of Autism in people you don’t know is probably when something seemingly minor sends them over that edge. You don’t see the buildup, you don’t see the other ways people deal with the discomfort, you might not even understand the discomfort itself, but you see a child suddenly breaking down and screeching.

            There are other things too, like breaking from established patterns, but this is getting top long already. The mechanisms is similar, in any case: The break from the pattern produces discomfort, a sudden break producing sudden discomfort, which can lead to the same kind of overload.

              This doesn’t seem like the sort of complex and nuanced mental process we should be assigning to a faceless corporation. It paints too sympathetic a picture.

                I think drag takes this too literally.

                Certain image boards turned that stereotype into a meme, where “autistic screeching”, aka “REEEEEEE” was used to signify excessive complaints. I’ll note that it’s a false equivalence that makes light of autistic people’s genuine pain, but I don’t think drag (or anyone else here) needs an elaborate lecture on that.

                In any case, its idiomatic meaning has become detached from the literal one, so when the other user referred to the authorities’ “autistic screeching”, it most likely was intended to mean “excessive complaints” rather than the whole mental process of failing to cope with discomfort.

                I definitely agree with drag that we shouldn’t equate corporate calculation with genuine human discomfort.

      Inciting violence is actually illegal, but it’s a huge gray area since they have in the past allowed the Unabomber Manifesto and books like Mein Kampf (although sales of that book does support the victim’s surviving families and education about the holocaust).

        Inciting violence is perfectly legal. You can go on Reddit or Shitter right now and scream as loudly as you like that Luigi needs to be locked up for the rest of his life. Inciting violence is only illegal when you do it against the rich and powerful. Unlike Hitler and the Unabomber, Muad’dib exclusively targeted the rich and powerful. That’s why his manifesto is illegal and theirs aren’t.

          Lol, imprisoning a person is the least violent option. It’s the basis for all justice that a person can be kept alive while awaiting trial or reform. Without it, the only method of law enforcement available would be to kill suspects on sight without trial.

          If you love the wild west so much you should try living in undeveloped areas of south america, such as near the rainforests, or in parts of Africa being contested by warlords.

    Well shucks, guys, we sure do hope y’all will understand, but any discussion of current events will be looked upon as a direct affront on our corporate overlords and their kin, and golly gee, we’d feel just plum awful if our beloved faceless and soulless owners found a reason to be cross with us! So, we know you’ll be just as soft and unquestioningly compliant as we have made up our minds to be, and that y’all will keep your dang ol’ gazes pointed at the floor and your yaps shut, and just do as you’re told, a-hyuck! Otherwise, our precious r/popculturechat might catch a whoopin’ from them powers that be, and well-shut-my-mouth, we just absolutely, positively, could not ever fucking have THAT. EVER. Could we?

      Hot take: everyone saying to avoid praising Muad’dib on lemmy.world is wrong. Telling the truth about the first folk hero in centuries is more important than the existence of lemmy.world. Letting that community be shut down by the Dutch authorities is an acceptable sacrifice.
