    @52fighters@lemmy.sdf.org dislikes your content and wants you to face justice! But he won’t say what form that justice should take or why he dislikes your content or why my intervention would be necessary! What should I do ??

      I did not promote any violence, the violence in this case already happened. I was merely constructing commentary art of a major event. I find it fascinating that he thinks this piece of art is promoting violence, but i assume there just wasnt a “i dislike this person getting called a fascist button”. So much for freedom of speech.

      If he had balls, he would have commented something along the lines “I dont think Kirk was a fascist, jet the drop of the mic is a great way of symbolizing the end of free speech”, instead of reporting art over a made up reason.

        I’ve decided to shoot you in the head with my gun to shut you up! I think that’s what he wants me to do!

      Yeah but punching a Nazi doesn’t stop more Nazi’s… violence is a shit way to deal with the severe health and cultural issues that you have in America

        So we should let Nazis who platform violence and hate just do their thing and continue to recruit our children?

          There’s obviously a clear difference between assassinating someone or just saying “well I guess we’ll just let them do their thing”. If they perform violence, you have your justice system. You need to address the cause of why people are being recruited… and obviously stop the recruitment. Just killing people is not the answer

            So we should report the Nazi to the other Nazis and await them to be held accountable?

          You need to address culturally why there is a resurgence. It probably would also help to ban the ability of hate groups to congregate / show their symbols etc

            Trump needs addressing, what do you suggest?

            It probably would also help to ban the ability of hate groups to congregate / show their symbols etc.

            Understand where you are coming from here, but this goes against free speech. If you give authorities this ability they will abuse it. What if they claim supporting Palestine makes you part of a hate group?

              Trump was democratically elected TWICE. He is a symptom of the dysfunction in American, not the only cause of it.

              Often the 1st and second amendments are screeched out at the heavens of needing to be protected. Look where that’s currently got america, thinking that killing someone is justified… what about Charlie’s right to free speech?

              Im not suggesting there is an easy or quick fix. I’m suggesting resorting to killing people you disagree with is a quick fire way to fuel and increase extremism

                There is never a singular cause, and there is never a single solution I agree.

                Often the 1st and second amendments are screeched out at the heavens of needing to be protected. Look where that’s currently got america, thinking that killing someone is justified… what about Charlie’s right to free speech?

                You wanted to ban certain groups you define as hate groups/symbols, my counterpoint to that is where do you draw the line, what exactly constitutes a hate group?

                Freedom of speech allows people to say some horrible shit true, but do you wanna spend the rest of time arguing where the line should be drawn. What absolute definition exists here that covers all hate groups and reduces extremism, without taking away rights from the average person. I personally don’t think such a solution exists which is why I support freedom of speech.

                Im not suggesting there is an easy or quick fix. I’m suggesting resorting to killing people you disagree with is a quick fire way to fuel and increase extremism

                It’s very easy to make this point when you cannot provide a solution. Sitting on the fence and telling everyone what is wrong doesn’t fix anything IMO. I don’t disagree with your notion, he didn’t deserve to be shot in front of the world like that, no one does… But demanding we ban hate groups without considering how we do that isn’t helpful either, neither is pointing out its wrong to shoot people, we already know this.

                If you can provide a solution that prevents all of this I’m happy to talk about it.

    Thank you for creating non-violent content!

    Whatever the definition of violence is. Killing certain people is just euthanasia.

    But is the removal of something in the world really enough to liberate us? Is it not as important, perhaps even more important, to add things?
